last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 21.03.2026 20:01:53

Nyla had not slept all night after finding the photo.

She reported it to security. To police. To Cameron. Everyone said the same thing: be careful, stay alert, we are looking for Eric.

But she still had to go to work. Still had to attend the most important board meeting of her life.

So at eight in the morning, she dressed in a navy power suit. Applied makeup to hide the dark circles under her eyes. Pulled her hair back into a sleek bun. Looked at herself in the mirror and practiced her confiden

    "Absolutely not," Nyla said into the phone. "Cameron, we have two missing men who want me dead. This is not the time for dinner.""This is exactly the time for dinner," Cameron replied. "You have been living in fear for weeks. You need a break. A few hours where you are not thinking about Eric or Robert or any of it.""I cannot just pretend everything is fine—""I am not asking you to pretend. I am asking you to take one evening off. Let Tobias do his job. Let security do theirs. And let me take you to dinner."Nyla wanted to say no. But the truth was she was exhausted. Constantly looking over her shoulder. Jumping at every sound. Maybe Cameron was right. Maybe she needed this."Fine. But somewhere private. No photographers. No publicity.""I know just the place."That evening, Cameron picked her up in his car. No driver. No security detail following. Just the two of them."Where are we going?" Nyla asked."You will see."He drove to a part of the city she did not recognize. Older bui

    The morning after the break-in, James called Nyla into his study."We need professional help," he said without preamble. "The police are useless. Cameron's security team is good but they are not investigators. We need someone who specializes in finding people who do not want to be found.""Do you have someone in mind?""Tobias Kane. Former FBI. Worked organized crime for twenty years. Now he works privately for clients who can afford him.""How expensive are we talking?"James pulled out a business card. "Very. But he gets results. He found a senator's kidnapped daughter in three days when the FBI had given up. He tracked down a billionaire's embezzling partner who had fled to six different countries."Nyla took the card. Simple black printing. Just a name and phone number. "Call him."Tobias Kane arrived that afternoon.He was not what Nyla expected. She had pictured someone slick and polished. Instead, Tobias was in his fifties with graying hair, wearing a rumpled suit and scuffed s

    Nyla and Cameron rushed to Harper Industries headquarters. Police cars were already parked outside, lights flashing. Security had cordoned off the top floor where the executive offices were located. Nyla's new office - the one she had just been assigned as future CEO - was at the end of the hall. The door was open. Glass from the broken window crunched under her shoes as she entered. The office had been ransacked. Drawers pulled out. Papers scattered everywhere. Her desk overturned. The filing cabinet pried open. A police detective approached. "Miss Harper? I'm Detective Morris. Can you tell me what might have been taken?" Nyla looked around the chaos. "I just moved into this office three days ago. I have not even finished unpacking yet." "So you don't know what was here?" "Just some files. Office supplies. A few personal items I brought from home." Nyla's mind was racing. What had she brought here? She had been so busy preparing for the board meeting that she had just g

  • Killed And Reborn, I Found True Love    CHAPTER 54

    Nyla left the boardroom feeling both victorious and uneasy. She had won the vote. She was officially the future CEO. But Robert was still out there plotting against her. And Eric was still missing with two million dollars and a vendetta. Cameron was waiting for her in the lobby. He had insisted on picking her up after the meeting. "How did it go?" he asked. "Unanimous vote. I am officially the heir." "Congratulations." He smiled but she could see the concern in his eyes. "What is wrong?" Nyla waited until they were in his car before explaining. Douglas. Robert's email. The cryptic warning about working with someone dangerous. Cameron's face darkened as she talked. "Robert contacted a board member directly? He is getting bold." "That is what worries me. If he feels safe enough to reach out like that, it means he thinks he is untouchable." "Or desperate." Cameron pulled into traffic. "Desperate men make mistakes. We need to find him before he does something worse." "Your inves

Still had to attend the most important board meeting of her life.So at eight in the morning, she dressed in a navy power suit. Applied makeup to hide the dark circles under her eyes. Pulled her hair back into a sleek bun. Looked at herself in the mirror and practiced her confident expression.Nobody could know she was terrified.The Harper Industries boardroom was on the top floor. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the city. A massive oak table seated twenty. Fifteen board members were already there when Nyla arrived with her father.She recognized most of them. Old men who had worked with her grandfather. A few women who had fought their way onto the board. Douglas Sterling, who was around sixty and had the most shares after her father.They all watched her enter. So

    Nyla stared at the text message until the words blurred."Father," she called out. "I need you to see something."James excused himself from the guests and joined her by the window. She showed him the phone. He read it twice."Two million dollars? Where would Eric get that kind of money?""I have no idea. I thought he was completely broke.""So did I." James pulled out his own phone. "I am calling our financial investigator. If Eric has hidden money, we need to know about it."Within an hour, they had answers. Eric had a secret offshore account in the Cayman Islands. Opened eight years ago, long before he married Nyla. He had been slowly funneling money into it for years. Small amounts that would not raise red flags. By the time he lost everything, the account held just over two million dollars.And he had emptied it this morning. Right after the divorce hearing.Nyla texted Cameron: "We have a problem. Call me."He called immediately. "What is wrong?"She explained about the money. A

    Nyla called Cameron and told him they needed to talk. In person. Privately.He suggested his office. She said no. Too formal. Too many people around. They agreed to meet at a small coffee shop in a quiet neighborhood where nobody would recognize them.Nyla arrived first. Ordered tea she did not dri

    Nyla sat in her father's study the morning after discovering Thomas had fled with two hundred million dollars. Grace stood by the window looking exhausted.

    Eric was pacing in the living room when Nyla walked through the door."Where have you been?" His voice was sharp with barely controlled panic. "You have been gone for hours. I called you three times.""I went out," Nyla said, setting her purse down."Out where?""Shopping.""Shopping." Eric stared

    Nyla stared at Cameron across the table. His pain was raw. Real. She could see it in his eyes, hear it in his voice. This was not something he had told many people."I am sorry," she said quietly. "About your sister."Cameron looked away. "Everyone is sorry. Sorry does not bring her back.""No. But
