Affection I showered upon them

"Your enthusiasm is overwhelming, yet again. What if history repeats itself and you face betrayal? Would you resort to ending her life?" Magnus inquired, his tone casual and indifferent.

"She's a woman of humility, a survivor who's weathered life's storms. How can I make you understand, Magnus?" Izaak responded, his voice barely above a whisper. He reclined against the plush back of the sofa, a serene smile playing on his lips.

"I comprehend. Alora has also navigated through a sea of adversities in her life, so I can understand," Magnus acknowledged.

"My previous four wives always harbored evil desires that threatened to unleash chaos within our family. Their insatiable greed overshadowed the love and affection I showered upon them," Izaak reflected, his demeanor shifting to a more solemn tone. 

"Let bygones be the bygones. Sometimes pain is the only path to happiness," Magnus stated.
