Victoria threw her phone onto the bed."Who the hell was that?"She paced across the bedroom, replaying the man's warning in her head.Stop asking about that accident.She had only sent Samuel one message. One.And somehow, someone already knew.Her phone vibrated again.This time, it was Adrian.Where are you?Victoria stared at the message before typing.At your place. Where else would I be?His reply came almost immediately.Don't touch anything in my study.She frowned.What was he hiding?She walked out of the bedroom and headed straight for his study.---I was signing the hospital discharge papers when Jonathan called."Elena, I need you to listen carefully."I glanced at Ethan, who was still asleep."What's wrong?""The message you sent me about Samuel. I've been trying to locate him since the incident at the garage.""Did you find him?""Not exactly. His daughter contacted my office this morning."I stood."His daughter?""She says her father is missing. He hasn't returned ho

"He's losing too much blood!"The nurse pushed past me as they wheeled Ethan through the emergency doors.I tried to follow."Ma'am, you have to wait here.""He's been shot because of me!""Please. Let us do our job."The doors slammed shut.I stood there, staring at the empty corridor.There was blood on my hands.Ethan's blood.Sienna arrived minutes later, her hair untidy and her breathing uneven."Where is my brother?"I couldn't answer.She grabbed my shoulders."Elena, where is he?"I pointed toward the emergency room.Her face crumpled."Oh God."She turned toward the doors, then looked back at me."What happened?""Two men grabbed me outside the hotel. Ethan came to help. One of them had a gun."Sienna covered her mouth."Did you see their faces?"I shook my head.She looked at the blood on my dress.Then she hugged me."He's going to be okay. Do you hear me? My brother is stubborn. He won't leave us."I wanted to believe her.I really did.---The doctor finally came out almo

The slap echoed across the ballroom.For a moment, the music seemed to disappear.Victoria stood in front of me, one hand pressed to her cheek. Her eyes widened as if she couldn't believe I'd touched her.Then she screamed."SECURITY!"I stared at her.She had grabbed my wrist first. When I'd tried to pull away, she'd deliberately shoved me into the display table. A glass shattered, and the next thing I knew, she was pointing at me and shouting about her missing necklace.Now she was pretending to be the victim.Two security guards hurried toward us."She stole my necklace!" Victoria cried, pointing at me. "I saw her take it!"Guests began turning. Phones rose into the air.Sienna pushed through the crowd."What's going on?"Victoria's eyes filled with tears."My grandmother's necklace is missing. I saw Elena near the display, and now it's gone."I looked at the empty velvet stand behind her."You're lying.""Search her!"One of the guards stepped forward."Miss, we'll need to check y

"Your father stole money from Sterling Group."I read the sentence three times.The article had been published less than twenty minutes ago, but it was already spreading across the internet.A photograph of Alexander Sterling appeared beneath the headline. Beside it was a scanned financial document showing a transfer of twelve million dollars to an offshore account.The article claimed my father had been secretly moving company funds before his accident.My fingers went cold."No."Sienna snatched the phone from my hand."Who published this?""I don't know."She scrolled through the article, her expression growing darker."They're saying your father was investigated before he died.""He wasn't.""Elena...""I was there, Sienna. I remember my father. He spent his last days worrying about the company. He wouldn't have stolen from it."My phone began vibrating.Jonathan.I answered immediately."Have you seen the article?" he asked."Yes.""Don't make any public statements yet. I'm check

The first time I saw my face on the front page of a business newspaper, I was being called a danger to my father's company.I read the headline twice.STERLING HEIRESS ACCUSED OF UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT AS FAMILY FEUD DEEPENS.Under it was a photograph of me leaving Sterling Group the previous afternoon, my expression tense, Jonathan walking beside me.The article claimed I had accused Charles Whitmore of financial crimes without evidence. It described me as an inexperienced heiress who had inherited power she didn't understand.One sentence caught my attention.Sources close to the Blackwood family believe Miss Sterling's recent behaviour may be connected to personal instability.I slowly lowered the paper.Personal instability.They were talking about me as if I were some woman throwing tantrums in a shopping mall.My phone rang.Sienna."Please tell me you've seen it," she said as soon as I answered."I'm looking at it.""That woman has finally lost her mind."I glanced at the photo

ELENAThe first thing I did the following morning was search for the accident report.The second thing was discover that it had disappeared.I sat behind the desk in Jonathan's office, staring at the empty space on his computer screen."Are you certain this is the correct registration number?" I asked.Jonathan adjusted his glasses."Your father's old driver was listed in the police report. The vehicle was a black Mercedes. I've checked the registration number twice.""Then where is the report?""That's what concerns me. The original file is missing, and the digital record has been marked as unavailable."I leaned back.Someone had erased it."Can we find the driver?"Jonathan hesitated."We can try. His name was Samuel.""Then find him.""I've already started."My phone vibrated.An unknown number.I opened the message.If you want to know what happened that night, come to the old Sterling garage. Come alone.My stomach tightened.I showed Jonathan.His expression darkened immediatel
