My grandfather died on a covert mission, and authorities approved a grand funeral in his honor. Concerned about my grief, my fiancé offered to handle the arrangements. On the day of the funeral, I arrived with my grandfather's ashes, only to find his portrait discarded on the ground, replaced by one of a dog. Furious, I tried to remove it, but my fiancé's adopted sister stopped me. "Hands off that portrait!" Suppressing my fury, I countered, "This is my grandfather's funeral. He was a decorated hero." "So what?" She shrugged, sneering, "Isaac said Luck deserves the grandest send-off. If you've got a problem, take it up with him. Adoring me, he'd cancel your engagement and ditch you in a heartbeat." I laughed incredulously, calling Isaac's family. "You people begged for this engagement. Since when does your adopted daughter get to call it off?"

The guests chuckled as Ethan teased Joseph for playing favorites, promising to keep me happy.During the party, I spotted a familiar, gaunt figure. He was so thin, almost skeletal, that I barely recognized him.When our eyes met, I knew it was Isaac. He shuffled over, placing two pieces of cheese on the table. "I wanted to bring something for your engagement, but I've got nothing. The cheese was begged off someone."He rubbed his hands, looking out of place amid the extravagance. "You've got everything now. Guess you don't need my gift."Two years ago, Joseph told me Joyce had a breakdown in the interrogation unit and tried to escape. She'd gone to Isaac's cell, hoping to break him out, but he ratted her out. She was shot on the spot, and he got a reduced sentence for it.He'd been released early, but with an ankle monitor for life. No one in the city would hire him, and he could barely scrape by.Neville hadn't let him off easily. It was a punishment to live in shame, scorned by

"Cuthbert saved an entire team on a secret mission. No one disrespects that!" Neville snapped. "Tomorrow, I'll request a full audit of your family's assets. Everyone tied to you will be investigated. In this country, no one is above the law."Joyce trembled all over. "It's all Charlotte... the Whitakers' fault. I'm just their maid. I can't handle the interrogation unit. Please, let me go. I'm innocent."Isaac, stunned by her betrayal, lunged at her. "You're throwing me under now? This was all for your stupid dog! How else did we offend General Soto?"A soldier kicked him down, securing the hoods and hauling them off.Neville called workers to repair the tombstone, and Cuthbert was buried on time, finally at peace. The officials and I stood at his grave, mourning all afternoon.Neville, before leaving for other duties, pinned Cuthbert's medal on my chest. "Keep his legacy alive, Charlotte. The nation's got your back. Come to us if you need anything."I nodded tearfully, seeing him

Bound but defiant, Isaac yelled, "You know their temper. This is all your fault. Tell your sugar daddies to free us now!""Let us go!" Joyce chimed in. "Or we'll scatter his ashes!"I ignored them, stepping behind Joseph, who calmly pressed the button amid the clatter.Gunshots rang out afterward. Blood sprayed from Ted's and Leah's heads, and they collapsed to the ground, lifeless.Isaac's eyes turned crimson with rage. "You killed my parents! I'll make you pay, no matter the cost!"No one paid him any mind.I looked at the two bodies, my voice dripping with scorn. "Told you, you're messing with people way out of your league. Your family's finished, Isaac, and you're still running your mouth?""Talk big while you can!" he roared. "This city could burn, but we'd stand!"Joyce kept cursing me, oblivious to the looming danger. A squad of armed soldiers, summoned by Neville, surrounded them.Joyce froze, recognizing the marks on their guns. "Who are you? You can't hold us like th

Neville had come because Cuthbert's sacrifice had been monumental. I'd been told he'd attend, which was why I hadn't wasted energy arguing with Isaac or Joyce.Neville's eyes blazed with quiet fury. "Do you have any idea whose grave you're defiling? That man was a national hero!"Joyce doubled over laughing. "You guys are really into this act. How much did Charlotte pay you to play it this straight? I'll give you ten times that to pray out loud for Luck. Make it as convincing as you did for that old man."Isaac pulled out a checkbook, scribbling a figure and tossing it at Neville's face. "You broke losers take any gig, huh? Here's $100,000. Get Charlotte to bury Luck, then all of you kneel at his grave and pray."Neville clenched his fists and teeth. "The Whitakers? You built your wealth on this nation's back, and now you spit in its face? You've gone too far."Neville had always been calm, and his rage now shocked even Joseph."General, take it easy," Joseph said. "I've deployed
