"Make sure that he isn't seen!" Fiona ordered, her voice sharp and commanding. She watched as the two servants expertly wrapped Viole's unconscious body in the bed's sheets, their movements quick and methodical. They replaced the sheets with new ones, making the bed look untouched before hoisting Viole's limp form onto one of their shoulders.
The door clicked shut behind them as they left, leaving Fiona alone in the room.
Despite her composed exterior, Fiona's heart was racing. Each beat hammered against her ribs, a stark reminder of the danger she was courting. If Cain found out what she'd done, she would be dead before she could plead her case. Not even her father's influence would be enough to save her.
Fiona pulled out her phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she dialed a number. When the call connected, she didn't bother with pleasantries. "Where is Cain?" she demanded, her voice laced with urgency.
