The news of Raphael and Imogen's whereabouts came like a storm, shaking Helena and Kayden to their core. It was James, the former butler of Duke Kayden, who had found the missing twins. Their location had remained a closely guarded secret until James, who had been exiled to the remote wilderness, chose to reveal it.
Helena's initial reaction was a mixture of overwhelming joy and unrelenting anger. Joy for finally knowing that her children were safe, and anger at the secrecy and betrayal that had kept her in the dark for so long. She could hardly contain her emotions as Kayden revealed James's confession.
"They're alive, Helena," Kayden said, his voice heavy with relief. "James knows where they are."
Helena's anger flared. "And you didn't tell me earlier? How could you keep such information from me?"
