*sending get well vibes to Tiffany*
Chapter 51
That curse, Isabella thought. She had heard it somewhere before, but where? She quickly scanned his wrist, and she was right. She could see the tip of a red cut poking out the sleeve of his shirt. He was her attacker and she had almost left with him. She couldn't believe how foolish she had been. Jasper had been right all along. This man couldn't be trusted and goodness knows what would have become of her if she had gone with him.
"Let the girl go," Jasper snarled, unsheathing his sword and pushing his mistress behind him.
"Stand back or I'll slit her throat," Garrett warned as his eyes went from soldier to soldier. He was panicking now. He knew there was no way he was getting out of this castle alive.
The kitchen maid surprised everyone, while Garrett's attention was focused on the guards, she punched him between the legs, causing him to loosen his grip. It was just enough for her to get away, although Garrett did manage to cut her neck in the process.
The maid quickly ran to Jasper, who pushed her behind him. Isabella pulled the maid into her arms and grabbed a cloth from the table, holding it to her neck. The cut looked like it was going to need sowed, the girl was lucky that was all it was. Isabella blamed herself for the maid getting hurt. She should have ensured all the kitchen staff left the room when she entered, but that would have alerted Garrett to their plan.
Jasper and the two guards cornered Garrett and quickly removed his weapons, before escorting him through the kitchen to the dungeons, where they planned to question him.
Isabella wanted to follow them. She wanted to find out what Garrett knew about her husband, but she knew she had to attend to her duties first. She had to see to the maid. She called outside for someone to fetch Sherry, their healer, and then went to sit with the maid, holding her hand and assuring her that everything was going to be okay.
