Chapter 26: Facing the Storm
In the wake of the revelations about Jamie's past and his connection to Isabella's long-lost twin sister, Sophia, the trio found themselves on the precipice of a profound transformation. The night had worn on, and as the first light of dawn began to break through the windows, the weight of the truth hung heavy in the room.
Jamie, normally the epitome of composure, appeared more vulnerable than ever. His voice was laced with a raw, unfiltered emotion as he recounted the story of Sophia's disappearance. The room seemed to close in around them as they listened to his painful narrative.
Tears welled up in Isabella's eyes, and she reached out to Jamie, her hand trembling. "Jamie, I had no idea. I thought I had lost my sister forever. But you... you were there for me during the darkest time in my life."
