“There's someone who might be able to help though.” Smith said and my head snapped up so fast | feared it was
going to disconnect from my neck.
“Who is it?” | asked but instead of answering, Smith opened the door and sticking his head out he beckoned for
someone.
I moved towards my seat and settled within it, waiting with bated breath for whoever was on the other side.
Finally the door opened to reveal the lady person | thought | would see. Well in this way.
“Emilia? What the hell Smith?” | growled, lunging from my seat the direction of the former maid but Smith was
soon in my way, holdingback.
“You need to calm down Greyson. She didn’t do it. She's the only one who can help right now. If you kill her, you
might never see Freya again.”
His last words struck a chord withinand slowly I calmed, | looked at Emilia once more and the fear in her
eyes satisfied me. | didn’t know whatever her story was but the last t| had been in contact with her, she was

“I k-know th-that you're thinking of the incident with Jessy and the poison, b-but | swear it’s not me. You never

furrowed my brows in
confusion, but nodded for her to go on.
“Matthew is not dead.”
The moment Emilia said these words | could swear that my heart stopped beating.
“That's not possible, I killed him myself.”
“No, you killed his twin. Micheal. Matthew has been laying low for a long tnow waiting for the best tto
strike and it seems he has been giving the opportunity. | know you believe that | was the one who poisoned Jessy
because of the situation but it was Zoe who really did it. And she had help.”
Emilia paused and she wriggled her fingers, bowing her head as though in shame. | looked to Smith with the
confused frown on my face reflecting in his.
“Who was it?” Smith finally asked
“Roman.” Emilia said, swallowing as if it hurt her to call his name
Simon's father. A man whom | once again trusted and had him replace Matthew as Gamma. His son had already
told us the story y of how his anger towards myself and Freya had pushed him into doing sthings. But the
details in that story wasn’t very clear.
“You were with Roman at the Solace Emilia, | saw you. So could this mean you knew about his plan all along and
you only kept quiet?” Smith questioned.
“No, no, | swear | didn’t. | thought | was in love with Roman and that he lovedtoo. After the officials meeting
that was held here many months ago where we met, we just sort of had a connection, or so | thought. And we
started a relationship. that | fought so hard to keep private because | was scared of the consequences. | was
after all a maid here.” Emilia paused, she had a far away look in her eyes.

As if she was reliving the story from the very beginning again.
“But | was wrong of course. He just needed a puppet. A way to get things done within the home. | would admit
that | might have helped with searching for the herbs that poisoned Jessy but he toldthat he needed it for his
son and that it was very Yare, and | believed him and toiled almost every night in search of it.”

head maid. | couldn't pick which of them surprised and devastatedthe most.
“Emilia, do you know where Matthew is keeping Freya?” | asked.
“I have an idea but | can’t be sure.”
“Let’s hear it.” | urged
“Roman made mention several times of a place called-the Red Paint.”
The room went dead silent at her revelation and Smith and | exchanged a look.
Of course, trist them to take her to the one place in the world where witchcraft was practiced to the maximum.
