Marvis sat at the kitchen table, wiping her hands on a dish towel after washing the breakfast dishes. Jace entered the room, his expression troubled."What's wrong, Jace?" Marvis asked, noticing the crease in his forehead.Jace sighed heavily. "I overheard Alexander and Mother talking last night. They're planning something against you."Marvis's heart sank.

"What did you hear, Emily? Please, tell us."Emily took a deep breath, her eyes darting nervously between Marvis and Jace. "I overheard Alexander speaking to one of his associates. They were discussing a plan to drug you, Miss Marvis, but they made a mistake with the dosage. The drug could have serious side effects, even cause permanent harm."Marvis felt a surge of panic rise within her. If Alexander's plan went wrong, she could be seriously injured, or worse."What are we going to do?" Marvis asked, her voice trembling.Jac
