58. Conrad
E very lead, every clue leads to nothing.
I don’t sleep. I can barely eat.
All I can think about is that they have her, they have my Brynn.
Are they hurting her? Are they torturing her? Do they think she knows something about Magnus?
Why would they have taken her? Surely, Liliana was the better one to take?
Giselle gave me nothing of worth. Even the servants gave me nothing. Did it ease my temper to torture them, yes. But it was also a monumental waste of my time.
On the table, my phone buzzes and I glance at the message, seeing more of the same bullshit. We’ve locked down Oblivion. It’s not shut, but we’ve made sure there won’t be any surprises there.
I’ve had to put provisions in place for Paitlyn too, I can only imagine what the Esau would do if they knew about her.
I feel like I’m spending my time protecting them. My brother’s, my family name, and all the while, it feels like the one thing that matters to me most slips further from my grasp.
Brynn.
I have to get her back.
I have to.
