Aveline's face lit up with relief.

She quickly asked, "Has the fire outside died down?"

Braden replied, "It's under control now. Please, open the door."

Wrapping the wet clothes around herself to shield against any remaining flames, Aveline carefully opened the door.

Braden, covering his mouth and nose with a damp towel, exhaled in relief when he saw she was safe.

"Mrs. Tudor, come with me!" he urged.

Aveline stepped out and saw the source of the fire-it had spread from the kitchen, consuming the nearby rooms and sending thick smoke billowing through the air.

Zachary, who had woken up early, had already evacuated the children and was now fighting the flames with a fire extinguisher.

Baron, with a team of bodyguards, had hooked up a hose and managed to contain much of the blaze, giving Braden the chance to get inside and lead Aveline to safety. Aveline's room was dangerously close to the kitchen; if the fire hadn't been brought under control, it would have soon reached her.

"Mrs. Tudor, are you alright?" Baron rushed over as soon as he saw her, concern etched across his face.

Aveline shook her head. "I'm fine."
