Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1168

Agnes even doubted if Phenix had fallen under their spell too. She was torn with uncertainty. But it was a gamble she had to take. Heading downstairs, it wasn't long before she spotted Bain. To her surprise, Bain seemed taken aback at her presence.

"Miss Septima, I thought you had already left?"

Clearly, Bain was out of the loop. A flicker of hope sparked in Agnes. She rushed over, "Bain, can you get a message to my godfather? Tell him Kearney is a traitor. That's all you need to say."

"Mr. Kearney, a traitor? What do you mean, Miss Septima? Are you feeling alright? You're not making any sense."

Agnes pressed, "Bain, there's no time to explain. Just do as I say, please."

"I'm sorry, Miss Septima, but we have a communication blackout on the island. We can't contact the outside world. Is the master in danger?"

"Bain, listen, I need to get off this island. Is there a yacht or something I can use?"

Bain seemed just as anxious, "We have one, but it was out of commission. Just got repaired a few days ago. Do you need to leave, Miss Septima?"

A wave of relief washed over Agnes. There was a chance to escape.
