Chapter 51 The Truth Comes Out

• The hallways felt endless as the maid rushed back to Damian’s chambers, her heart pounding in her chest. Her breath came in short, frantic gasps as she hurried to reach him. The weight of what she had done hung heavily on her, and every step she took seemed to drag her deeper into the mess she had created.
• She knew she was running out of time. She could already imagine Lily’s wrath if she failed. But worse, what if Damian found out? What if Aurora told him everything? The maid was terrified of what could happen to her if that was the case.
• As she rounded the corner toward Damian’s chambers, she froze. There, standing just outside the door, was Aurora. The woman who had once been a threat now seemed calm, almost in control. And standing beside her, as if waiting for her, was Damian. His expression was unreadable, but the tension in his posture spoke volumes.
