Chapter: Chapter 102 JANELLE'S POVI had spent the entire morning trying to convince myself that the black-thread symbol was nothing more than a strange coincidence, but the moment Eddie placed the document on the table in front of me, that excuse disappeared.The symbol was printed at the bottom of the page in faded black ink.A circle formed by a single thread.I stared at it for several seconds before reaching for my mother's sketchbook."Give me that."Eddie slid the document toward me, and I opened the sketchbook to the pages I had marked earlier. My mother's drawings covered the paper in delicate pencil lines, but several of them carried the same symbol in the corner.I placed the two pages side by side.There was no mistaking it.The symbols were identical.My stomach tightened."They match."Eddie leaned closer to the table."I thought they did when I found the document, but I needed you to see it yourself."I traced the edge of the symbol with my fingertip without actually touching the ink."Whe

Chapter: Chapter 101 RICHARD'S POVI slammed the door behind me the moment I entered my private office, still furious from my conversation with Victor.The bastard had looked me in the eyes and actually tried to convince me that our agreement meant nothing.After everything I had done for him.After everything we had built together.I walked toward the liquor cabinet and poured myself a drink, barely tasting it before setting the glass down with more force than necessary.Decades ago, Victor had been nothing more than an ambitious designer trying to find his place in an industry that had no intention of making room for him.I had changed that.I introduced him to the right people, opened doors that would have remained locked to him, connected him with investors and ensured that his name began appearing in rooms where men like him were usually ignored.Victor had talent, but talent alone had never been enough.He needed someone who understood how power actually worked.I did.And he knew it.That was why

Chapter: Chapter 100 Janelle’s POVThe documents were spread across the dining table by the time Eddie arrived, and for the first time since I had started investigating my mother’s death, I felt as though I was looking at more than a collection of old memories.There were company records, employment files, design contracts, photographs, correspondence, production reports, and several documents Eddie had recovered from his father’s belongings. Some were yellowed with age, others had been folded so many times that the creases had begun to split the paper.I picked up the old Sterling House employee record and placed it beside Adrian Vale’s employment card.“Look at the dates,” I said.Eddie leaned over the table, pushing his glasses higher on his nose as he compared the two documents. “Your mother’s last documented project was listed here.”He tapped the page.“Three months before her death.”I nodded slowly. “And my father’s records show Adrian was still working at Sterling House during that same period.”

Chapter: Chapter 99VICTOR'S POVComing home from the hospital should have felt like a victory.The doctors had finally agreed that I was stable enough to recover at home, and after weeks of sterile rooms, nurses checking my vitals and machines reminding me that my body was no longer entirely my own, I should have been relieved to see my own house again.Instead, I felt uneasy the moment the car stopped outside.Too much had changed while I was gone.Sterling House had changed.My relationship with Richard had changed.And most dangerously, Janelle had changed.She was no longer the quiet daughter I had spent years keeping away from the world. She had returned to my life as the woman who had rebuilt Sterling House, taken control of the company and stood in front of an entire room wearing her mother's design.That dress had been the beginning of everything.I stepped out of the car slowly, one hand resting briefly against the door as I gathered myself.The front door opened before I reached it."Dad."Jan

Chapter: Chapter 98EDDIE'S POVI had spent most of my life believing my father simply disappeared.That was the easiest explanation.He had left one day, and he never came back.Whenever I asked my mother what happened, she would become quiet in that particular way she had whenever she was trying to protect me from something she didn't know how to explain. As I got older, I stopped asking. Eventually, I convinced myself that whatever had happened belonged to the past.My father was gone.That was all I needed to know.At least, that was what I had believed until Janelle showed me the black-thread symbol.I couldn't stop thinking about it.The moment I saw that little black loop through the silver needle on her mother's sketches, something inside me had shifted. I didn't know why it bothered me so much, but I knew I had seen something similar before.I just couldn't remember where.So that afternoon, I went looking through my father's old belongings.The box had been sitting at the back of a storage cupb

Chapter: Chapter 97JANELLE'S POVI had spent years trying not to think too deeply about my mother's death.There had always been too many unanswered questions, and whenever I came close to one of them, something inside me told me to stop digging. My father had always been vague whenever I asked about her final days, and eventually I learned to accept the version of events I had been given.My mother was gone.It had been an accident.There was nothing I could do about it.At least, that was what I had believed.Now, sitting at the dining table with several boxes of her belongings spread across the surface, I wasn't sure I believed any of it anymore.I picked up one of the old photographs we had taken from her room and studied it carefully.My mother was standing inside what looked like one of the old Sterling House workshops, smiling at the camera with a piece of fabric draped over her shoulder. She looked younger than I remembered, but there was something about her expression that caught my attention.
