I couldn't help but laugh. "Who in their right mind loves someone so much that they would peel their skin off, break their bones, and reshape their body into a statue?"

He looked at me. his voice steady. "I know you won't believe me, but I've known you for a long time. I've seen every one of your pieces from the orphanage." When he mentioned the orphanage, something clicked.

It wasn't our first meeting at school. He had volunteered there before.

I was probably seven or eight years older than him.

After my miscarriage. I hadn't fully recovered and spent a lot of time in the orphanage.

That day, I felt dizzy and almost passed out. He was the one who caught me.

I was weak and lightheaded, and he brought me a glass of water, helping me rest.

I must have fallen asleep in a rocking chair for over an hour. When I woke up, he was still there beside me.

At the time, he just seemed like a kid, nothing more. I thanked him and left the place.

"Two days ago," he answered.

"Does Damian work for you?" I pressed.

"Not exactly," he said. "He was sent to protect Carter. He doesn't know the full plan.

"Then why did he betray Carl?"

Without hesitation, Yael replied, "Because that person wanted you dead. Damian thought that handing your over to me might give you a chance to survive." "It's Amber, isn't it?"

"Yes."
