Isabelle's AssistantAriana's POVThe meeting with Marcus didn't happen again It was already nine at night; the encrypted channel showed no activity, and Kylan's urgent messages got no response.By morning, Kylan's witness protection handler confirmed that someone had moved Marcus to a secure location.After some people tried to access his safe house address through a reliable database while using fake credentials.I became so speechless.The information also saidhe wass still alive but wouldn't be able to speak to anyone for his safety's sake.I think they were faster than us this time."So we lost him," Sebastian said flatly, standing in my kitchen, dark circles carved deep beneath his eyes. " He Said Right when he had the name.""We haven't lost him," I said, though my own exhaustion made the words feel thinner than I wanted. "We've lost access to him temporarily. There's a difference.""A difference that doesn't help us right now." He rubbed a hand across his face. "We need anot

No Such Thing As SuicideAriana's POVSebastian called me before dawn, his voice hollow in a way I'd never heard from him before; even while he was in the hospital, his voice never sounded like that.What could be the problem again? I know these few days have had a lot; I was still trying to get answers.Callahan is dead.” And they think it's suicide, " he said.I sat up in bed instantly, trying hard not to wake Jason from sleep" Sebastian, slow down. Tell me everything."Ariana, he was found by six thirty, already dead, in his study room. It was a gunshot wound, and he left a note. That was his housekeeper's response."The night before, we were set to question him," I said slowly, my stomach turning cold. "That's not a coincidence." "I know." His voice cracked slightly. "I already called my forensic team. They're on site now, but the police already have jurisdiction. I don't know how much access we'll get.""I'll call Elena," I said, already reaching for my phone. "And I have someo

Cracks In The BoardSebastian’s POVSleep never came that night.I remained in my study, the board member roster spread across my desk, twelve names staring back at me beneath the narrow pool of light from the desk lamp.Each one felt like a question I should have asked years ago. Pierce’s warning kept running through my mind, quiet andrelentless. Some decisions were made before you were even CEO.I started with the members who had joined during my father’s tenure, the ones who knew him personally and had access to whatever machinery Ashworth had built long before I inherited any of it.Whitmore first. Nothing unusual in his file beyond decades of clean board service, and his genuine shock during the vote had felt real in a way I trusted. Margaret Chen came next, her record equally clean, her support for the freeze immediate and unhesitating. Then there was Robert Callahan. My father's closest friend on the board, the man who had taught me how to read a balance sheet when I was sev

Sebastian's ChoiceSebastian's POV"Mr Frost, I strongly advise against this. You're forty-eight hours post-surgery, and you can't just leave. If that wound reopens- " the doctor's voice followed me through the elevator."I'll be careful," I said, and kept walking. I still felt an ache in my arms. My free hand held the folder Ariana had put together the night before. Inside were all the accounts linked to my mother's name, every transfer, and every piece of proof Elena had gathered in the short time we had."Sebastian." Ariana caught up with me in the hospital lobby. Kylan stayed a step behind her."Your body needs rest. You don't have to do this today.""No, I do." I stopped just short of the sliding doors and turned to face her. "Every hour mymother's assets stay free is another hour she can shift money we haven't found yet. Anotherhour for Ashworth's people to cover their tracks. We mustn't give them another chance.""You could send someone else. Your legal team, your CFO-"The b

The Nice ManAriana's POVThe drive home felt so endless; even if it took less than twenty-five minutes, it still felt like we drove for an hour-plus.Kylan sat beside me in the back seat, his jaw tight, his phone already in his hand as he called ahead to the mansion's security team just to make sure the security was in place. Sebastian, still looking weak from the surgery, had insisted on coming despite every protest from both of us; he propped against the door with his arm in a sling, his face pale but his eyes sharp with the same fury I felt burning through my own chest."Skylar's pulling the footage now," Kylan said, ending his call. "All of it. School pickup, the park, the house perimeter.""How long has this been happening?"I asked, trying to stay controlled; that's the only way I could keep myself from falling apart in front of the driver. "Weeks, Jason said. Like seriously, weeks, and nobody noticed.""We'll know soon," Sebastian said quietly. "Don't spiral before we have th

The TrustAriana's POVI looked at the name on the screen; my heart started racing so fast and loud I could hear it in my ears. I could barely hear anything else in the room.Dr Marcus Whitfield. Secondary legal contact, Meridian Trust 4471."That name doesn't mean anything to me," I said slowly, though something about it nagged at the edges of my memory, some half-formed recognition I couldn't quite pin down."It should," Sebastian said quietly, his voice sounding so cool. "He was on the board of directors at FrosTech. Before my father died, he resigned right after the funeral, saying he wanted to focus on his private consulting job."The room went very still. That's when it rang in my brain."He's connected to Ashworth," Kylan said, already pulling up another search, his fingers moving fast across the keyboard despite the tremor that hadn't fully left his hands. "They would have known each other. Both worked closely with your father.”"These two men knew my father so well. Both are
