It was only then that Charlotte realized the gravity of the situation.

Arthur stepped between them, his tone icy. “Jayce, she’s my wife, Charlotte.”
At these words, Jayce’s expression flickered with a change in emotion, his eyes momentarily revealing a crack of
vulnerability. His already pale face seemed even more fragile as if he had been struck by a deep sense of loss.
