The storm raging outside had not only battered the Billion estate but had also cracked open doors to something much darker. Fiona sat in the quiet, holding Liza, her daughter still clinging to her as if she could shield her from the chaos swirling outside their door. But there was no shelter from the storm now. No safety.

Candy.

The name pulsed in her mind like a dark, aching throb.

How could it have come to this?

How had they taken something so simple-so pure-and twisted it into a weapon?

That cold, calculating serpent Helen, and Marie-the mother who couldn't see the line between love and possession-they had set everything into motion, and now-now Fiona couldn't even walk outside without being met with eyes full of fear and accusation.

The leaked videos had done their damage, but it wasn't over. The air was thick with whispers-on the streets, in the grocery stores, at the school gates.

But the truth, Fiona knew, always rises from the ashes.

By the time Fiona's team scrambled to issue

    There was stillness outside of the cemetery grounds. The tension of the past few days seemed to mingle in the air, but it was more than just the sadness that obscured the sky—a sense of impending, ever-looming danger from Helen’s escape. The woman who had wreaked so much havoc still lingered, still loose. Though they had lost Marie, it seemed that her death had inspired an unyielding determination in the survivors.They returned to the estate, where Fiona, Charles, and Jamaica met in the study, their eyes glued to the holographic map displayed on the table, where the only lighting came from the flickering effect of the room. Fiona spoke first, though her voice, though even, was thick with the exhaustion that came with their experiences.“I just can’t believe that I still have to search so hard to find her,” she complained.“She’s not hiding, she’s preparing,” Jamaica moved forward, her eyes scanning the report in front of her. “We’ve been underestimating her all along. She’s always tw

    Simultaneously, Helen sat in her hideaway, a glass of red wine swirling in her hand, as she stared out into the richly appointed room through a large, imposing window. The estate she had purchased with a straw man identity was a really secure place, untraceable, with secure walls to keep her protected from harm. She was secure, of course, but she was also restless.Thoughts swirled inside her head as fast as her hands could not keep up. The damage that had been done was devastating, but nothing was finished quite yet. The Billion family was split apart, but that certainly didn’t mean that they were broken.not yet.She knew Charles would fight till the end. He was a man of honor, even if, at times, he did not behave in that way. Fiona would also rise to the challenge, but there were fault lines. Fiona had noticed. The death of Marie had created a rift, one which would not be easily mended.Meanwhile, back at the mansion, the police were having a tough time in their investigation into M

    The days following Marie’s funeral were just a blur—a haze of unfinished messages, of mourning faces, of unanswered questions. The mansion was all quiet now, with only memories of shots, of confusion, of Marie’s death still hovering in the atmosphere like thick fog.The family assembled together more regularly than ever before, their normally thriving life shrinking to whispered conversations, subdued meals, and furtive glances around crowded rooms filled with absence.The world was a different place for Candy. It was no longer a warm and lively home filled with the sound of her laughter ringing down the halls. The world was a cold and lonely place, a world where the absence of her mother felt as real as the darkness that hung in every corner.But in the midst of all this sorrow, there was something that kept Candy grounded—Liza. Liza had taken up the mantle of protector, though she did not have a clue what that looked like yet either. Liza had become a silent anchor for Candy, with c

    Meanwhile, in the storm of disarray and tragedy that continued to rage around the Billion estate, Helen was already one jump ahead. In the middle of the night, she was sitting in the darkened cabin of her private plane, the whine of the engines providing a constant accompaniment to her thoughts as she pondered her next move. The lights of the mansion were just an distant twinkling in her rearview mirror, hidden by the enormity of the darkness below.She looked out into the night, her eyes squinting as she watched the city lights blur into nothingness. She was so close to ruining everything they valued. To making them all pay. But it was far from over. Not yet.Her fingertips tapped softly against the armrest as she considered the recent scenes at the mansion. The sacrifices that Marie had made, protecting Charles and Candy, giving her life for something that she would never have the opportunity to see realized. A harsh laugh burst from her lips at the image. Marie had been no more tha

    Candy, still holding on to Fiona, gazed at the figure with tears-filled eyes. Her lips are trembling as she whispers the name, which has now become a epitome of all that she has lost. "Mommy."Fiona’s throat closed as she knelt to whisper in her daughter’s ear. “It’s all right, sweetie. Mommy is in a better place now. And she is watching over you. She’ll always be with you.”But even Fiona understood that no words would ever be enough to mend a torn heart such as Candy’s. Nothing could bring back the woman who had been Candy’s lifeline in this crazy world. Nothing could fill the void that Marie had left behind.Charles moved closer to the gurney, his hands shaking as he reached out to peel back the sheet. It caught his breath when he saw the pale, lifeless figure of Marie. She seemed to be at peace, a far cry from the fire that had raged in her life in the past weeks. But even that peace was false, a false promise

    Madam Jamaica stood still, her face impassive. There was no triumph, no satisfaction, only the calculating gaze of a woman who had watched many battles, but never a one such as this. She, too, had lost. But her loss differed. The loss of Marie signaled the end of a chapter, the beginning of another.Helen was nowhere to be found. She had disappeared into the aftermath of the chaos, melting away like a shadow into the night. The police had her men in custody, but Helen? Oh, she was already gone, her revenge accomplished. She had gotten exactly what she came for—Marie’s death.A uniformed man approached Charles, his face serious. “We have her, Mr. Billion. Helen’s men are arrested, but she is nowhere to be found.”"Yes," he barely nodded, the words too far away for him to comprehend. In his mind, his whole world had fallen apart, and there was no way that it could be restored.The paramedics put a white sheet over Marie’s
