EVERYTHING HE OWED HER Chapter Thirty: Margaret Breaks Her Silence
Myra POVThe estate gate was open when we arrived, which never happened after eight o'clock. I grew up on this estate. The gates always closed at dusk.I jumped out of the car before Danny even brought it to a complete stop.Della met me at the side entrance. She must have been watching for us, so whatever was going on was serious enough that she wanted to stop me before I walked in."Where is she?" I said."The garden," Della spoke quietly, her voice tense. "She's been out there for an hour. She won't come in." She glanced at me, then at Danny. "Richard was here. He left twenty minutes ago.""What did he say to her?""I don't know. I wasn't in the room." She grabbed my arm as I walked by. "Myra. She's been crying. Whatever he said must have been bad."I looked at Danny once. He nodded and told me to go, saying he would handle the rest.I went.The garden was cold and dark. The November air was sharp against my face, and I knew the path to the east bench by heart. Margaret always pick
EVERYTHING HE OWED HER Chapter Twenty-Night: The Original Heir
MyraDanny and I showed up at the café on Whitmore at the same time. We hadn’t planned it, but it still felt meaningful. We walked in from the cold together, shoulders nearly touching, moving in sync like people who had finally admitted they were heading the same way. Sydney was already at the back table, her coat folded, coffee waiting, and three chairs set up as if she knew we’d arrive just like this.She glanced at both of us. Her face grew calm."Good," she said. "Sit down. I have a lot to tell you, and I only want to say it once."We sat down. Danny ordered for me without asking, and he got it right. I had stopped pretending that little things like that didn’t matter. Sydney waited until the server left, then set her phone face-down on the table and looked at us. She had the steady gaze of someone who had spent six months inside a family and was finally ready to share what she’d noticed."Edmund Blancham," she said. "He was Richard's older brother, the original heir. He died abou
EVERYTHING HE OWED HER Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Retraction
Myra POV"Tell me you didn't just sit here and do nothing for twenty minutes," I said.Danny glanced up from the desk. My phone sat face-down among the untouched drawings. He hadn't done anything while I was away. I wasn't sure if he was holding back or just frozen."I did what you asked," he said. "I waited.""Good." I dropped my bag on the table, pulled out my chair, and sat down. "Now talk.""Myra...""I don't want comfort. I don't want reassurance. I don't need to hear 'I'm going to fix this' or 'I had no idea' again, because I already believe both. I looked him in the eye. "I want to know what you're going to do. Be specific. Right now. Today.""I'm going to call the press office and have the statement retracted," he said. "It will be under my name, not my parents'. I'm making a direct contradiction, not just a clarification." He looked me in the eye. Then I'll go home and confront my father with what I know about Edmund, Margaret, and the company records.”I looked at him. "Your
EVERYTHING HE OWED HER Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Announcement
Myra POV"Your phone is going off," Danny said.I was in the middle of explaining a load-bearing wall calculation to him. We had been at the studio since eight, with the project deadline closing in from one side and the Margaret question weighing on the other. I poured all of that tension into the drawings, just like I always did when I needed my hands to take over for my mind. "Ignore it.""It already buzzed four times.""It could buzz a fifth time."He grabbed it from the edge of the desk before I could stop him, checked the screen, and froze.I glanced up from my drawing. "What?"He placed the phone face-up between us and stayed silent.I saw three notifications: a classmate's name, a link, and a message that read, Sorry. Saw this just now. Are you okay?I picked up my phone.The link brought me to the Blancham Group's official press page. There was a statement from that morning, posted at seven a.m., while I was still asleep in Danny's apartment. His arm was around me, his heartbe
EVERYTHING HE OWED HER Chapter Twenty-Six: Whatever Comes Next
Both POV - alternating"You're doing it again," Myra said.I looked up from the document spread across her desk. They were old company records she had been cross-referencing for three days. Names, dates, and shareholder listings were starting to form a picture that neither of us had yet fully named. "What am I doing?""Carrying it by yourself." She sat on the bed with her sketchbook in her lap, watching me with that steady, unfiltered attention. "You've been at your desk for two hours without saying a word, and your jaw keeps doing that thing.""What thing?""You’re doing that thing where you work something out on your own and decide I don’t need to be part of it." She tilted her head a little. "We said we’d do this together, Danny."I sat back. Looked at the document and looked at her.She was right. I had been sitting here for the past hour, going over the same calculation again and again. Was Edmund her father? Did Richard know? Did the company records confirm what I was beginning
EVERYTHING HE OWED HER Chapter Twenty-Five: Sydney Steps Back
Sydney POV"You're leaving the arrangement," Victoria said. Her tone made it clear it wasn't a question."I'm leaving the arrangement." I sat across from her in the Cranbourne hotel, at our usual table in the corner, the same cold coffee between us. But this conversation felt different. "I told you this was coming. I'm making it official."She paused and looked at me. "The timing.""It isn't about the Darius girl," I said. "It's about the fact that after watching this family for six months, I've realized I want a different kind of life than what this arrangement could give me." I looked her in the eye. "I want something real, Victoria. Not something strategic.""Real doesn't always last," she said. Neither does strategic." I picked up my coffee. "I watched my parents' strategic marriage for twenty years. My father was comfortable, my mother was decorative, and both of them were quietly miserable in a house filled with nice furniture." I set the cup down. "I won't live like that. I agr
