เข้าสู่ระบบXAVIER’S POV For the first time since Daniel's death, I began to wonder if we had been asking the wrong question all along. We had spent fourteen years trying to understand who wanted Daniel dead, who had arranged the accident, and who had buried the evidence, but the documents recovered from Richard Cole's property suggested something much larger. Daniel might not have been the final objective. He might have been the first obstacle standing between the organization and control of Griffins Enterprises. “Put every attack against me on the screen,” I instructed Steve, standing over the investigation table as he opened the files we had collected over the years. “Not just the obvious ones. I want every failed acquisition, board challenge, hostile investor, suspicious lawsuit, and executive resignation that happened after Daniel died,” I added, realizing that if someone had been working against me for years, the pattern had to exist somewhere. Steve pulled up the records and began arran
AURORA’S POV “Start with the people who had access to Xavier before Griffins Enterprises became what it is today,” I said, placing Thomas Reed's letter beside the old employee photographs as Steve joined me at the table. “Thomas said he recognized the man from Xavier's inner circle, so I don't want guesses based on who looks suspicious. I want every person who had enough access to Xavier, Daniel, and the company to fit his description,” I explained, spreading the photographs across the table. Steve opened the earliest personnel records and began comparing names with the photographs. Some of the men had been executives, others advisers, security personnel, and long-term employees who had worked closely with Xavier's family before the company expanded. We eliminated anyone who had never been around Daniel or who had left the company before the period Thomas described, but even after narrowing the list, several names remained. “Thomas said the man was familiar enough to move through X
AURORA’S POV “Thomas Reed wasn't just Xavier's driver,” Steve said, placing the thick folder on the table between us as I studied the photograph of Thomas standing beside Carter Mills Senior and the fifth founder. “He had access to executive schedules, private meetings, financial documents, and sensitive company movements. Someone could have used him to move information without anyone realizing how much he actually knew,” he explained, opening another file. I pulled the first document toward me and read through Thomas's employment history. He had started working for Xavier during the earliest years of Griffins Enterprises and gradually became far more than a driver. He transported confidential documents, delivered messages between executives, attended private meetings, and knew where important people were going long before those movements appeared in official records. “That would have made him useful to someone inside the organization,” I said, running my finger along an access rec
XAVIER’S POV Harold's confession stayed with me long after the meeting ended, especially the part about my car being at Ashford Hill the night before Daniel died. I had spent fourteen years believing that night had nothing to do with me beyond the grief that followed it, but now a vehicle registered under my name had placed me directly at the center of something I had never known existed. When I returned to the investigation room, I immediately pulled up the old vehicle records myself, refusing to accept Harold's statement until I had seen the evidence with my own eyes. “Run the registration against every vehicle record from that week, including private transportation logs and maintenance records,” I instructed Steve, standing behind him as he opened the archived database. “I want the exact vehicle, its location, its assigned driver, and every person who had access to it before and after the Ashford Hill meeting,” I added, keeping my voice controlled despite the uneasiness building
HAROLD’S POV I had spent fourteen years convincing myself that silence was the only way to survive, but sitting across from Aurora now, I realized I had only been lying to myself. Silence had not saved me. It had simply given me fourteen years to remember every warning I could have given Daniel and every reason I had chosen not to. I looked at Aurora and saw the little girl I had once watched running through her father's house, completely unaware that the people around her were already deciding how much of her future they were willing to destroy. “You need to understand something before I tell you anything else,” I said quietly, clasping my hands together on the table as I forced myself to meet her eyes. “I knew Daniel was in danger before the accident happened, and I could have warned him. I should have warned him, but I was afraid of what would happen to my family if I did,” I admitted, feeling the shame I had carried for fourteen years settle heavily inside my chest. Aurora didn
AURORA’S POV Cole's final words followed me long after the meeting ended. I kept hearing them in my head as I sat in the secure records room with Daniel's old files spread across the table. The worst part is that Daniel trusted that person completely. It wasn't enough to know that someone close to my father had betrayed him. I needed to understand what kind of person could earn Daniel's trust deeply enough to get close to him, learn what he knew, and then use that trust against him. I pulled every record covering the final months of Daniel's life and began building a list of the people who appeared most often around him. Xavier's name was there, along with Madam Lucy, Arthur Bell, Carter Mills Senior, Victor Langston, and several of the company's earliest executives. Some were business partners, some were advisers, and others had been part of Daniel's personal circle for years. The deeper I went, the more complicated everything became because none of them looked suspicious on the su
Aurora's POVUncle X shunned me, he sounded disgusted and disappointed. I put my head down as I walked back to my room.My sweetheart was disappointed… not me, to me, it was a massive step, at least I made it clear to him that I do not see him as my biological uncle.I laid on my bed, my heart tig
Aurora's POVI wanted to follow my plans according to what I jotted down last night, but I couldn't. I saw a beautiful opportunity to jump to number 2, which says ‘seduce Uncle X’, and that's what I am about to do. Diana wasn't home, this was my trump card.I passed by his room, and I caught him si
Aurora's POV I didn't think these two naughty girls were being serious until they appeared at my house. They came here mainly for the purpose of seeing Uncle X. They went crazy after sighting him on school grounds earlier, and being the naughty girls they were, they came to see him personally.
Aurora’s POVWhat the fuck is the witch even doing here?“Ohh.. Aurora… You are here too?” Diana gave the most fake smile I have seen in my life.Marinette and Rose's eyes also fell on her, and they smiled.“Hi,” Marinette waved, and the witch waved back.Rubbish! I don't know why they like her.“
