Damian’s presence was commanding, and Isabella felt a tension in the air as he continued. “You’re already in danger,” he said, his voice low and earnest. “But there’s more at stake than you realize. I can help you, but you need to make a decision. Either walk away now and stay safe, or keep pursuing the truth and face the consequences.”
Isabella’s heart pounded as she weighed her options. “Why are you offering to help me?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly. “What’s in it for you?”
Damian’s expression remained inscrutable. “Sometimes the truth isn’t worth the price you’ll pay for it. I’m offering you a way out because I don’t want to see you become another casualty of this world.”
The gravity of Damian’s words settled over Isabella. She had come this far, but the prospect of stepping away was tempting. Her curiosity and drive to uncover the truth clashed with the reality of the risks involved.
“You’re asking me to trust you,” Isabella said, her voice steady despite her internal turmoil. “Why should I?”
Damian’s eyes met hers, and for a fleeting moment, she saw a hint of vulnerability. “Because I’m trying to protect you, even if you don’t believe it. Choose wisely.”
The weight of the decision pressed heavily on Isabella. She knew whatever choice she made could alter the course of her investigation—and her life. The old library, with its faded grandeur and dusty shelves, seemed to close in around her as she faced the crossroads of her journey.
