607 James took a cautious step forward, his voice soft but earnest. “Sir, Lady Margaret asked for your trust because she cares about you. She wouldn’t do this if it weren’t important.” Darwin shot him a look. “Is that what she told you? That she cares about me?” James hesitated. “Yes.” Darwin la

608 James stood frozen in the middle of the grand hall, the silence pressing in on him like an unbearable weight. His mind raced, torn between his duty to Lady Margaret and his worry over Darwin’s spiraling frustration. The heavy slam of the estate’s front door echoed faintly through the corridors

609 “The first time Darwin asked about his father,” she began slowly, “it nearly broke me.” She paused, her voice softening further. “Back then, he still had his memories. He knew enough to ask the right questions… and I didn’t know how to answer.” James frowned, concern knitting his brows. He too

610 Margaret let out a bitter, humorless laugh, her voice carrying the weight of years she dared not speak of. “You’re so sure, aren’t you? That honesty is the answer to everything. Life isn’t that simple, James.” James, ever the calm presence, folded his hands behind his back as he regarded her.

611 Margaret shook her head violently. “You don’t understand,” she said, her voice trembling. “If Darwin knew what really happened—if he knew the truth—it could destroy him.” James’s expression softened, his voice quieter now. “But what if it doesn’t?” Margaret froze, staring at him as though the

612 James’s gaze softened further, his voice laced with quiet compassion. “Then tell him that, too. Tell him what it cost you. The truth isn’t just for him, Margaret—it’s for you, too.” She turned toward him sharply, her eyes wide and glassy with unshed tears. “And what if he doesn’t forgive me?”

613 James knocked softly on Lady Margaret's door, the urgency in his steps evident even before he spoke. “My lady,” he called quietly but firmly, his voice cutting through the stillness of the night. Margaret, half-asleep, stirred at the sound. “James?” she called groggily, pushing herself up onto

614 Margaret glanced briefly at James, who lingered near the door before turning her attention back to Maelstrom. “The last time we spoke, you said you had a lead on the Oakbar brothers. I assumed you would call me when you had more information.” “I did say that,” Maelstrom agreed, his voice silky
Chapter 0619
615 Margaret’s gaze lingered on the heavy doors Maelstrom had vanished through, her thoughts swirling like a tempest. His cryptic warnings were always laced with just enough truth to keep her on edge. The Oakbar brothers. The mere mention of their name sent a shiver down her spine. James, ever th

616 The tavern was stifling now. Margaret felt the air weigh down on her as the group of men continued to stare, their gazes thick with both interest and malice. James shifted, his expression darkening. “My lady, they’re staring again.” Margaret’s lips thinned, her eyes sweeping over the men. She didn’t look away even when one of them caught her gaze. The wiry man with the crooked nose was the first to speak. “Looks like we’ve got ourselves some nobles slumming it tonight,” he said loudly, his voice dripping with mockery. Margaret arched an eyebrow, calm and unshaken. “Is that supposed to impress anyone?” The man blinked, momentarily thrown off by her cold composure. His companion wasn’t as hesitant. “You lose your way, pretty lady?” he jeered. “Or you come here lookin’ for somethin’ else?” Margaret didn’t answer immediately, her gaze pinning the man like a bug under glass.
