“Are you lying?” Vincent questioned Jane with both eyes squinted as though he was struggling to peek at something.

The place fell silent for a short moment.

Jane couldn’t say yes and she also couldn’t say no at the same time.

Elizabeth wasn’t exactly the cause of her anger but at the same time she was.

Jane shook her head indicating to Vincent that she was not lying but in fact speaking the truth.

“Okay then, if you say so” He agreed, still having a sting of doubt in his mind.

This made Vincent more eager and curious to find out what went on between Jane and Elizabeth in his absence at the wedding reception.

Jane heaved a sigh of relief the moment she finished tidying up her baking space.

She had done the dishes and put them away where each and every single one of them belonged.

At least she had gotten one thing off of her chest, two more to go.

The first one was the apology she had just made to Vincent while the other two were breakfast and of course…... .Elizabeth.

    Does that mean that she had spent her entire morning cooking for Vincent, doing the dishes and then arguing with him?Heaving a very deep sigh of frustration, Jane quickly had her muffins and orange juice before retiring to her room.At least the chocolate chip muffins were really good.She didn’t really know how to cook, but that was her special secret recipe.Vincent and Jane went on with the rest of their day like they usually did on regular Sundays.Vincent stayed in his room all day long doing God knows what as he peeked out his room’s window to see Jane reading a book in the garden, he smiled to himself.After finishing the snatched orange juice that Jane had earlier, Vincenr dropped the glass cup on a small desk in his room.He stared at if for a while before he came to a final conclusion “I just knew there was something special about this one!” He said, trying so hard to convince himself that both glass

    “Vincent!”“What is this?!” Looking up at the big window, Jane yelled out to Vincent who rested his chin, cupping it with his left palm which was supported by his elbow, looking down and with a witty smile on his face.“What is what?” He reiterated maintaining that position.“Why are you bent on disturbing my peace and quiet this afternoon”“I might not be quiet but I am…….Your peace”Was he being serious right now?Jane thought to herself as the space between them fell silent for a while.In a calm voice, Jane breathed in before asking Vincent “What’d you want?”“I want you to save me!”“Save you?” Jane asked out loud with a puzzled look on her face.“Yes!”“I don’t understand”“Give me a minute, I’ll just let my hair down so that you can climb up and come get me”Hold on…….That sentence seemed familiar to the storyline of a familiar cartoon.It was Rapunzel.“How did he even know?”Shaking her head, Jane realised that she wouldn't be surprised if Vincent actually watched cartoons.J

    Jane sat right beside Vincent by the driver’s seat of the car.Having absolutely nothing to do, she sat there with her face buried in her phone.Suddenly a realisation hit Jane as she the long quiet drive reminded of something she had shoved at the back of her mind earlier.It was the day of Elizabeth and Samuel’s wedding, right before she left The Vincenzo Residence with Vincent.She didn’t bother questioning him that day because he didn’t seem like he was in the mood and she could also see that he was in such a hurry because they were already running out of time.His mind was somewhere else at that moment.She had totally forgotten to ask him about his past before her, especially about his mother.Vincent was driving with full concentration as he had his entire being attentively focused on the road, he didn’t want history to repeat itself.That would be an entire generation down the drain.Although th

    Vincent’s father wouldn’t have wanted him fighting his uncles and raising lawsuits against them.It was a deadly game which was equivalent to playing with a torch lit by fire on both ends.Vincent was wealthy and powerful now but they were wise and even much wiser than he was.They knew a lot that he didn’t and they were also capable of doing a lot that he couldn’t, even if it meant getting their brother’s only child out of the way.They would do a clean job and leave not a single evidence behind.They were very experienced people when it came to the dark side of the business world.Elder Mr. Vincenzo was not their first and if at all Vincent dared to try anything rash, Vincent would certainly not be their last.If they could do such to their own blood brother, what made anyone think that they wouldn't do it all over again to his only offspring.Vincent knew that the only way to bring them down was to have them

    Vincent’s Rolls Royce drove from the main gate of the residential area, down to The Vincenzo Residence.As they approached the building, Jane pulled out the gate’s remote key and pressed the unlock button which automatically made the large grey coloured gate slide slowly to the left until it was completely wide open.With that, Vincent drove into his building and straight into his garage to pack the car back in the exact position it was before he drove it out of its place for Samuel and Elizabeth’s wedding.The moment he parked the car properly, Vincent alighted and locked it right after Jane got out.With both his hands in his pocket, he breathed in a gust of fresh air while looking up at his enormous building with a smile “Home sweet home” Seeing how dark it already was, Vincent reached for the left pocket of his shorts only to feel a wave of shock as both his eyes widened.He quickly turned back to the car and opened it with

    She was awoken by the rays of sunlight that brushed her skin as she lightly tossed and turned while she stretched her arms and legs in bed.It completely slipped her mind to draw the curtains before she went to bed the previous night.Even if she had remembered then, she would’ve been too tired to get back up and do the needful.Those rays had disrupted her sleep and there was no going back now, she couldn't continue her sleep.Jane dragged herself out of bed and straight to her closet for a bathrobe before proceeding to her bathroom in order to freshen up for the day.Suddenly she paused, stopping right in her tracks as she maintained complete silence in her room for a while.“Did I just hear a scream?” Jane thought to herself as she decided to shrug off the feeling and proceed to carry on with her morning routineBlaming the scream she supposedly heard on mere hallucination instead due to the fact that she didn’t wake

    “Tell me…..”The room fell silent for a while as Samuel was reluctant to answer that question knowing fully well that it would break her heart and throw everything out of place.But the time had finally come.“Sammy, whose is it?”Elizabeth was beginning to get more confused and concerned with what Samuel was talking about.Things were beginning to seem more serious by the minute.“Samuel!”“Is there something you're not telling me?!”The room was still silent as Samuel’s ears were still recovering from the echoing thunder of Elizabeth’s voice.“Samuel!”“Is there something you’re not telling me?!”Samuel just stood there thinking on how best to explain the situation to his wife.“Samuel I’m asking you a question”“Whose house is th…... .Vincent!” Samuel finally spoke out, interrupting her in the middle of her speech.Elizabeth’s eyes widened the moment she h

    Jane stood there, just watching the entire thing happen.She knew very well that if Elizabeth should sight him, she would be the next victim of her rage.“Poor Samuel…..”He was warned about this.He was given multiple chances to think things through.Still, he chose to go on with this?Was he really that blinded by love….……Or was he just foolish?It was quite obvious by now…….He was a fool for love!Now the hall went completely silent as the only thing that could be heard at that moment was Elizabeth’s heavy breathing.Vincent and Samuel stood in place, both staring back and forth at each other and then at Elizabeth with Jane staring at them all by the far end of the hall.The hall remained that way, dead silent until Vincent finally spoke out, breaking the silence that enveloped the place “Elizabeth, what exactly is the problem?!”The moment she heard this, Elizabeth’s head

    Closing her eyes, Irene unspooled her magic into a gentle, probing thread, and laid a palm on that splattered star atop his spine.The cold slammed into her, spikes of it firing through her blood and bones.Irene reeled back as if she’d been given a physical blow.Cold and dark and anger and agony—She clenched her jaw, fighting past this echo in the bone, sending that thread-thin probe of power a little farther into the dark.The pain would have been unbearable when it hit him.Irene pushed back against the cold—the cold and the lack and the oily, unworldly wrongness of it.No magic of this world, some part of her whispered. Nothing that was natural or good. Nothing she knew, nothing she had ever dealt with.Her magic screamed to draw back that probe, move away—“Irene .” His words were far away while the wind and blackness and emptiness of it roared around her—And then that echo of nothingness … it seemed to awaken.Cold filled her, burned along her limbs, creeping wider, encirc

    Chapter 250: Costly Adjustments

    “Will it be hours every day that you work on him?” Nesryn’s words were steady, almost flat, and yet … The woman was not a creature who took well to a cage. Even a gilded one such as this.“I would recommend,” Irene said to Nesryn over a shoulder, “that if you have other duties or tasks to attend to, Captain, these hours would be a good time for that. I shall send word if you are needed.”“What about moving him around?”The lord’s eyes flashed at that.And though Irene was predisposed to chuck them both to the ruks, she noted the lord’s simmering outrage and self-loathing at the words and found herself saying, “I can handle most of it, but I believe Lord Westfall is more than capable of transporting himself.”Something like wary gratitude shot across his face. But he just said to Nesryn, “And I can ask my own damn questions.”Guilt flashed across Nesryn’s face, even as she stiffened. But she nodded, biting her lip, before she murmured to Vincent , “I had some invitations yesterday.”

    Chapter 249: Bad Habits

    Vincent shot Irene back an equally displeased look the moment Kashin paused to sip his wine, and then launched question after question to the prince regarding his life. Helpful information, he realized, about their army.He was not the only one who realized it. Arghun cut in while his brother was midsentence about the forges they had constructed near their northern climes, “Let us not discuss business at dinner, brother.”Kashin shut his mouth, ever the trained soldier.And somehow Vincent knew—that fast—that Kashin was not being considered for the throne. Not when he obeyed his eldest brother like any common warrior. He seemed decent, though. A better alternative than the sneering, aloof Arghun, or the wolflike Hasar.It did not entirely explain Irene ’s utter need to distance herself from Kashin. Not that it was any of his business, or of any interest to him. Certainly not when Irene ’s mouth tightened if she so much as turned her head in Vincent ’s direction.He might have calle

    Vincent waited until Nesryn had been gone for a good thirty minutes before he summoned Kadja. She’d been waiting in the exterior hallway and slipped inside his suite mere moments after he’d called her name. Lingering in the foyer, he watched the serving girl approach, her steps light and swift, her eyes downcast as she awaited his order.“I have a favor to ask you,” he said slowly and clearly, cursing himself for not learning Halha during the years Levi had studied it.A dip of the chin was her only answer.“I need you to go down to the docks, to wherever information comes in, to see if there’s any news about the attack on Rifthold.” Kadja had been in the throne room yesterday—she’d undoubtedly heard about it. And he’d debated asking Nesryn to do some searching while she was out, but if the news was grimhe didn’t want her learning it alone. Bearing it alone, all the way back up to the palace. “Do you think you could do that?”Kadja lifted her eyes at last, though she kept her head

    Chapter 247: Sorting Out the Chaff

    She’d known his age, but Irene had still not expected the former captain to look so … young.She hadn’t done the math until she’d walked into that room and seen his handsome face, a mix of caution and hope written across the hardened, broad features.It was that hope that had made her see red. Had made her ache to give him a matching scar to the slender one slicing across his cheek.She’d been unprofessional in the most horrific sense. Never—never had she been so rude and unkind toward any of her patients.Mercifully, Hasar had arrived, cooling her head slightly. But touching the man, thinking of ways to help him …She had not meant to write the list of the last four generations of Towers women. Had not meant to write her mother’s name over and over while pretending to record his information. It had not helped with the overwhelming roaring in her head.Sweating and dusty, Irene burst into Hadiza ’s office nearly an hour later, the trek from the palace through the clogged, narrow str

Even Nesryn blinked at the frank question.“Yes,” he said tightly, fighting the heat rising in his cheeks.She looked between them, assessing. “Have you used it to completion?”He clenched his jaw. “How is that relevant?” And how had she gleaned what was between them?Irene only wrote something down.“What are you writing?” he demanded, cursing the damned chair for keeping him from storming to rip the paper out of her hands.“I’m writing a giant no.”Which she then underlined.He growled, “I suppose you’ll ask about my bathroom habits now?” “It was next on my list.”“They are unchanged,” he bit out. “Unless you need Nesryn to confirm.” Irene merely turned to Nesryn, unruffled. “Have you seen him struggle withit?”“Do not answer that,” he snarled at Nesryn.Nesryn had the good wits to sink into a chair and remain quiet.Irene rose, setting down the pen, and came around the desk. The morning sunlight caught in her hair, bouncing off her head in a corona.She

    So Vincent had, half paying attention to the meal unfolding before him, half monitoring every word and glance and breath of those around him.Despite their youngest sister’s death, the heirs made the meal lively, conversation flowing, mostly in languages Vincent did not know or recognize. Such a wealth of kingdoms in that hall, represented by viziers and servants and companions—the now-youngest princess, Duva, herself wedded to a dark-haired, sad-eyed prince from a faraway land who kept close to his pregnant wifeand spoke little to anyone around him. But whenever Duva smiled softly at himVincent did not think the light that filled the prince’s face was feigned. And wondered if the man’s silence was not from reticence but perhaps not yet knowing enough of his wife’s language to keep up.Nesryn, however, had no such excuse. She’d been silent and haunted at dinner. He’d only learned that she’d bathed before it thanks to the shout and slamming door in her chambers, followed by a huff

    Hadiza ’s face darkened. Not with ire, but memory. “I was once asked to heal a man who was injured while evading capture. After he had committed a crime so unspeakable … The guards told me what he’d done before I walked into his cell. They wanted him patched up so he could live to be put on trial. He’d undoubtedly be executed—they had victims willing to testify and proof aplenty. Eretia herself saw the latest victim. His last one. Gathered all the evidence she needed and stood in that court and condemned him with what she had seen.”Hadiza ’s throat bobbed. “They chained him down in that cell, and he was hurt enough that I knew … I knew I could use my combat to make the internal bleeding worse. They’d never know. He’d be dead by morning, and no one would dare question me.” She studied the vial of blue tonic. “It was the closest I have ever come to killing. I wanted to kill him for what he had done. The world would be better for it. I had my hands on his chest—I was ready to do it. Bu

    Chapter 243

    Of all the rooms in the Torre Cesme, Irene Towers loved this one best.Perhaps it was because the room, located at the very pinnacle of the pale-stoned tower and its sprawling complex below, had unparalleled views of the sunset over Antica.Perhaps it was because this was the place where she’d felt the first shred of safety in nearly ten years. The place she had first looked upon the ancient woman now sitting across the paper- and book-strewn desk, and heard the words that changed everything: You are welcome here, Irene Towers.It had been over two years since then.Two years of working here, living here, in this tower and in this city of so many peoples, so many foods and caches of knowledge.It had been all she’d dreamed it would be—and she had seized every opportunity, every challenge, with both hands. Had studied and listened and practiced and saved lives, changed them, until she had climbed to the very top of her class. Until an unknown healer’s daughter from Benjamin was appr
