Grace
Chapter 109: Grace
Nobody moved.
Nobody spoke.
Nobody breathed.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Amara stared at the phone.
The message remained.
Unchanged.
Waiting.
Hello, Amara.
—Grace
The betrayal.
The impossible-text-message betrayal.
Undefeated.
The archive fell silent.
Because suddenly...
The woman who had haunted seventy years of history wasn't a mystery anymore.
She was texting.
A remarkable development.
Very remarkable.
Daniel appeared beside Amara instantly.
Naturally.
The ghost had developed a concerning habit of appearing whenever information existed.
A recurring problem.
Very recurring.
"What."
Silence.
Amara simply turned the screen around.
Immediately.
Daniel read the message.
Then froze.
The worst reaction.
Always the worst reaction.
The betrayal.
The frozen-Daniel betrayal.
Undefeated.
Then Evelyn looked.
Then Lorenzo.
Then Elias.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Nobody spoke.
Because nobody knew what to say.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Then another message arrived.
Softly.
A single vibration.
The sound somehow louder than the gunfire from earlier.
The sound of history finally answering.
A concerning development.
Very concerning.
Amara looked down.
The message read:
Thank you for protecting the journals.
Absolute silence.
The room froze.
Immediately.
Because Grace knew what happened.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Not eventually.
Not later.
