Chapter 4 - Eleanor Showed Me an Old Photograph That Proved My Grandmother Had Once Saved the Blackwood FamilyThe photograph was thirty years old.

Eleanor placed it on the table.

I stared.

My grandmother stood beside her.

I stopped breathing.

"That's Grandma."

Eleanor nodded.

"Her name was Margaret Carter."

"How did you know her?"

"She saved my life."

The story was unbelievable.

Thirty years earlier, Eleanor had been attacked during a Blackwood family war.

Margaret had hidden her in her home.

She had treated her wounds.

She had risked everything.

And before Eleanor left, Margaret had made her promise something.

"Promise me you'll never let my family pay for what yours has done."

Eleanor's eyes filled with tears.

"I promised."

I touched the photograph.

"Why didn't Grandma ever tell me?"

"Because she wanted you away from this world."

Then Eleanor handed me a letter.

It was addressed to her.

But Margaret had written it years ago.

Inside was one sentence that terrified me.

If anything happens to my granddaughter, protect her from the Blackwood men.

I looked at Eleanor.

"Why?"

She hesitated.

"Because your grandmother knew someone would eventually come looking for you."

"Who?"

Eleanor's face became pale.

"Daniel's father."

I stared.

"But he's dead."

"Yes."

"Then why would he care about me?"

Eleanor didn't answer.

Because the answer was hidden inside the final line of Margaret's letter.

Your granddaughter carries something that belongs to the Blackwood family.
