Chapter 55

The corners of his mouth seemed to lift slightly, likely thinking that I was considering the idea favorably.
"Of course, Lady. If I could convey only my true feelings and sincerity, I would even drink poison."

Bite into it, and there’s poison; don’t bite, and it looks so tempting.
Of course, the problem is that it might only look that way to me... The real question is, would Jacob bite into this apple, or would he not?
