A spark is harmless until it starts an inferno.

Her mother is a homewrecker; I have no doubt that she is, too.

She bats her eyelashes and pretends she's innocent, but I know the truth.

The blood in her veins is made of mud, and I will purify it.

Kaye Pennington is the daughter of the woman that ruined my life, now I will ruin hers.

It's not fair; nothing in life ever is.

When her innocence has been plucked like a flower...

When she's been made to pay for her sins...

When she stands before me a broken reed...

Her mother's debt will be repaid.

Until then... she's mine.

And I do whatever I want with my property.
