I waited until the house was quiet before opening the charity notice again.

The organization was a small children's charity outside Ashmere that had apparently worked with St. Aurelia Hospital years ago. Its website looked neglected, but the archived pages were still accessible.

I scrolled through old reports until I found one from the year Evander's hospital file had been marked inactive. It thanked several former hospital employees for volunteering.

One name appeared near the bottom.

  • I TRANSMIGRATED INTO A NOVEL AS THE DOOMED HEIRESS   Chapter 35: A Door Left Open

    I barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the photograph of Theodore outside his office. The man beside him belonged to Vincent's security team. That meant Vincent's reach extended further than the Beaumont estate.And now someone was warning us about records they claimed should have been destroyed.I sat at the kitchen counter, staring at the messages on my phone.Alexander stood near the windows, speaking quietly to Nathaniel.“Check whether the man had access to Theodore's office,” Alexander said. “I want to know who assigned him there and why.”He listened for a moment.“No. Don't approach him yet.”He ended the call and turned towards me.“Any more messages?”I shook my head.“That's almost worse.”“Silence doesn't mean they've stopped watching.”I looked down at the phone.How much do they know?Before I could ask, Alexander's phone rang.He checked the screen.“Sebastian.”I remembered the name. Alexander's cousin. A board member at Rothwell Industries.He a

    I kept staring at the photograph.The man stood beside Theodore as if they were having an ordinary conversation. But I knew where he worked.I had seen him at the Beaumont estate.He was one of Vincent Blackwood's security men."Alexander."He looked up from the car door."What is it?"I showed him the photograph.His expression changed immediately."You're sure?""I've seen him at the estate more than once."Alexander took my phone and studied the image."Vincent's security.""Exactly."He handed it back."Get in."I slipped into the passenger seat.Alexander started the engine, but he didn't drive away immediately. He checked the mirrors and looked towards the building."Do you think Theodore knows he's being watched?" I asked."I don't know.""Maybe the man was following him before we arrived.""Or he was waiting to see who came to visit him."I looked at the photograph again."Either way, Vincent knows we're investigating Theodore."Alexander pulled away from the pavement."Then w

    Theodore Ashbourne's name stayed in my head long after we left the Beaumont estate.Two documents.Two different years.And one man connected to both.I sat in the passenger seat while Alexander drove through Ashmere. The city was already awake. Cars crowded the roads, and people hurried along the pavements, carrying coffee and talking into their phones.Everything looked normal.It was strange how easily the world continued when yours was falling apart."You're quiet," Alexander said."I'm thinking.""About Theodore?""About why his signature keeps appearing wherever this investigation leads."Alexander glanced at me."That's what we're going to find out."I looked down at the photographs on my phone. One showed Theodore's signature on Genevieve's private agency placement authorization. The other showed his name on the Beaumont trust document dated eight years ago.The signatures looked alike.But a signature was not a confession.I had spent years investigating fraud. I knew better

    "Call her," Alexander said.I immediately dialed Genevieve's number.It rang once.Twice.Then the call ended.I tried again.Nothing."Take me back to the estate," I said.Alexander was already reaching for his keys."We're going."I stared at the last message.Someone has just entered my study.My hands wouldn't stop shaking.Please be safe, Mother.The drive felt longer than it should have.Alexander made two calls, one to the estate's security office and another to someone from his private security team."Has anyone entered the west wing?" he asked.He listened for a moment."Check the access records. I want to know exactly who entered that corridor and when."He ended the call."What is it?" I asked."Someone entered the west wing using an authorized staff access card. The guard saw the person but assumed they had permission to be there.""Didn't he check?""Apparently not. Security is reviewing the access records now."I looked out the window.Someone had used the estate's own s

  • I TRANSMIGRATED INTO A NOVEL AS THE DOOMED HEIRESS   Chapter 31: What My Mother Signed

    I read the message again.Ask your mother what she signed.The words seemed to grow heavier each time I looked at them.Alexander placed my phone on the table."We shouldn't respond.""I wasn't going to.""Alessia, this could be another attempt to make you act without thinking."I looked at him."What if it's true?""Then we'll find out. But we won't let an unknown number decide how we investigate."I hated that he was right.Still, one question kept repeating in my mind.What had Genevieve signed?I called her the following morning.She answered after the second ring."Alessia?"Her voice was quiet, almost uncertain."I need to speak with you."There was a pause."About what?""Something you signed."Silence.I gripped the phone."Mother?""Where did you hear about that?"My stomach tightened.So there was something."I think you know what I'm talking about."Another pause followed."Can we meet?"I glanced at Alexander. He was already watching me."Where?""The garden behind the old

    Alexander didn't speak immediately.He stood by the windows of his penthouse, one hand in his pocket, staring at the city below."She knows," I repeated. "Isadora knows I'm the baby Vincent took.""I heard you.""Then why are you standing there like that?"He turned."Because if Isadora knows the truth, Vincent knows she might tell you."A cold feeling settled in my stomach."He already knows I spoke to her.""Which means we have to be careful."I folded my arms. "I'm tired of being careful while everyone else decides what I deserve to know."Alexander's expression softened slightly."I know.""No, you don't. Every time I get close to something, another person appears to warn me away. First the hospital records. Then the agency. Now Isadora. How many people have been threatened into silence?"He didn't answer.I looked at the papers spread across the table. The torn birth record, the hospital reference, and the photograph of the payment authorization were still there."Those initials,
