Connor hesitated, turning the question over in his mind before finally saying it out loud. “Lydia, can you tell me who Jay really is?”
Since Lydia lost her sight, Connor had taken on most of her responsibilities. He needed to know exactly who Jay was, why he was with Lydia, and what role he played in her life.
Jay was a mystery, and despite Connor’s best efforts, his team had never managed to uncover any real information about him.
Lydia understood that, if she wanted her plans to move forward smoothly, she would need Connor’s help. Some things just couldn’t stay secret anymore.
“He’s Iceblade,” Lydia said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Connor stared at her, stunned.
Iceblade? The top assassin from Blood Oath? That was Jay?
Suddenly, everything clicked. Those assassins in Country D, and the ones Connor had run into before... it all made sense now.
Lydia seemed to read his thoughts. “I know you have a lot of questions. You’re probably wondering if he was involved in any of those attacks on you.”
Connor nodded slightly. He had been thinking exactly that.
Lydia continued, “Remember the time you were badly hurt? I got there so fast because he warned me it was coming.”
Connor’s eyes widened. Was that really true?
“He’s someone I trust,” Lydia went on. “That’s why I decided to work with him. He shares information with me, and I help him break free from Blood Oath’s control.”
The truth was, Iceblade would have helped Lydia no matter what. She was Lydia. If she wanted something, he’d find a way to get it for her.
“But since what happened in Country D, there’s been no sign of him,” Connor said. He had tried to track Iceblade down, but it was like he’d disappeared off the face of the earth.
Lydia nodded. “He probably went back to headquarters. He promised he’d help me find proof that Jackson paid Blood Oath to kill you, but now he’s just gone quiet. I’m worried something’s happened to him, that maybe he got exposed.”
Connor watched Lydia, realizing just how much she’d been doing for him without ever saying a word.

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
