SERENA POV

Kael's message sat on my screen until the words stopped looking like words.

My signature is there. So is the signature of someone who died three years ago.

I called him before I could talk myself out of it.

"Explain."

"I'm looking at the original authorisation. The second signature belongs to Edmund Cross."

The name meant nothing to me. "Who was he?"

"Former director of the territorial records office. He died three years ago in a road accident."

I sat up too fast, and my ribs punishe

    SERENA POV"Adrian."My mother's answer hit harder than the explosion that had shaken the council chamber."Why would Adrian give you the first document?"She wiped her tears, but her hands kept shaking. "He found something in Vantage Crown's investment records. Some of the money was tied to the Blackwood territory. He didn't know the whole plan, Serena.""And you kept it from me.""He asked me to warn you. I didn't.""Why?"Her eyes flicked to Kael. "Because I thought Adrian wanted to split you from your husband. I thought he was using the investigation to look like your protector."I felt sick. "So you protected your family's arrangement instead."She had no answer."Where is the document?" Kael asked."In the case. The first page carries his signature."Daniel was already reading it when the alarm screamed. A security officer burst in. "The medical centre is under attack! Armed men at the east entrance, searching for a patient, trying to reach the maternity ward!""Amara's at the s

    SERENA POVThe name would not leave my mind.Marcus.For several minutes after my father's call ended, I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my phone. The man who had promised to protect my daughter. The man who had stood before the council and announced Kael's suspension. The man who now held the territory in his hands while pretending to restore order."Serena?"Kael stood in the doorway. He crossed the room without another word and sat beside me, close enough that his shoulder pressed against mine. He didn't ask me to explain. He simply waited."Marcus is involved," I said. "My father called. Someone inside the council helped Voss access the old records and the security network. He named Marcus."Kael's jaw tightened. "Your father has already admitted to the original arrangement. His word isn't proof.""I know that.""Then we need evidence.""That's exactly what I intend to get."Daniel arrived twenty minutes later, and I repeated everything. He listened with his arms folded."M

    SERENA POVThe door shook again, and I stumbled backwards, clutching Amara so tightly my arms ached.She screamed against my collarbone, her tiny body shuddering."Please," I whispered, not sure whether I was begging the men outside or God. "Not my daughter."Another blow. The lock groaned like something alive.My eyes darted around the secure room and landed on the emergency panel beside the storage cabinet. Daniel had shown me how to use it on our first day, and I had nodded politely, never believing I would need it. I slammed my palm against the button. A red light blinked."Security breach," a recorded voice murmured, unbearably calm."Mrs. Blackwood," a man called through the door, "we're authorised to move you. Stop making this difficult.""Then say the verification phrase!"Silence."That's what I thought," I muttered.The light turned green, and a voice crackled from the speaker. "Mrs. Blackwood, this is Officer Grant. Confirm your location.""Secure room! Two men outside the

    SERENA POVThree days after Lucien Voss was arrested, I let myself believe we might finally breathe.The recovery authority had seized the territorial accounts. The council was reviewing the claims of the thirty-two affected households, and investigators were drafting charges against Leonard Pike and everyone tied to Northgate Security Services. Kael's suspension still stood. My father was still under investigation. Adrian only spoke to me through his lawyers now.Nothing was settled, but the worst felt behind us.I was wrong.The call came just after midnight. Daniel answered first, and I watched the colour drain from his face as he listened."Where?" he asked. A pause. "How many?" Another. "Don't engage. Get the families out."He was reaching for his jacket before the call ended."Daniel, what happened?""The recovery authority's records facility. Armed men broke the outer barrier. They're trying to burn the original compensation records.""Voss is in custody.""His network isn't. S

    SERENA POV"Where is my father?"Kael's silence lasted several seconds. "At the old Vantage property. The investigators believe Leonard went there to retrieve something.""Then we need to find him.""Serena, the investigators are already moving.""I don't care. He's my father.""And he's a witness in an active criminal investigation. If you go there, you could compromise the operation."I shut my eyes. 'I hate that he's right.'"Have they found Leonard?""His vehicle was abandoned near the property. Nobody's confirmed whether he's still inside.""And Voss?""Emergency council session this afternoon. He wants to present his guardianship proposal before the investigators finish their report."I looked down at Amara, asleep against my arm. "They can't let him.""They may not have grounds to stop the hearing.""Then I'll attend.""Serena...""I'm her mother. If they're discussing her future, I have every right to be in that room."He exhaled, long and tired. "Daniel will arrange remote ac

    SERENA POVThe message about Edmund Cross followed me into the new safe house.'Ask your father what happened the night Edmund Cross died.'I couldn't stop thinking about it. My father had admitted knowing Cross. He had admitted he was running from Lucien Voss. But he had never explained why a dead man's signature sat on a document that could destroy the Blackwood family.Daniel stood at the dining table, reading through his investigators' notes. He didn't look up. "There's something you need to see.""Is it good news? I'm allergic to bad news before breakfast.""You haven't had breakfast.""Exactly. I'm vulnerable."He turned his laptop toward me. An old report glowed on the screen: Edmund Cross's accident, with the date, the location, and the official conclusion."His car left the road," Daniel said. "Single-vehicle incident. No criminal investigation, because there was no sign of interference.""Then why would anyone whisper that he was killed?""Because the report says nothing abo
