“And their headquarters?” he barked.
“I’ll help you find it. But first… take me in, my Lord.”
Finally, I uncovered the rest of the photograph, revealing its entirety.
His reaction was immediate. He froze, his eyes widening in disbelief.
“And one more thing,” I teased. “They’re after her too. Do you know her?”
I watched him growl in fury.
“Karylle!” he snarled. “My traitor wife is alive!”
A cruel smile spread across my lips. He had no idea he was sitting beside that very traitor he's calling.
“Finally… I’m inside the house I should be living in,” I whispered.
Daniel accepted my offer. He brought me to the mansion where he and my brother were staying. The house was huge—too vast, it’s almost funny that Karina hasn’t even toured the whole place, considering she barely leaves her quarters.
She’s seriously ill. She can’t handle the rituals because she’s not full-blooded. She’s just an adopted child, taken in out of pity by my parents.
