EUDORA

Dawson finally took us to the gravesite, and I was surprised to see that it was actually marked. The only sad part was that it had clearly been neglected. Tall grasses had grown around it, and weeds had almost swallowed the headstone. It was obvious that no one had come here in a very long time.

For some reason, seeing it like that made my chest tighten.

Standing before the graves of two people I had never known, I gently ran my fingers over the headstone after Orion had people clear awa

    ORIONWhatever Nelson has gone in to bring is clearly making Desmond uncomfortable, and if it is something enough to rile him up, then I guess I should be worried and prepared for the bombshell too.Few minutes later, Nelson returned, carrying a blue file. He walked over to Eudora’s side and dumped the file on her thigh. “You want to play?” he growled with a smirk. “then let’s fucking play.”Brows furrowing into a frown, Eudora glanced at me before slowing peeling the envelope open. Desmond returned with a glass of scotch, deliberately avoiding Eudora’s gaze as she pulled out the documents.Leaning closer to her, my eyes quickly skimmed through the content of the document and the more I took it in, the less sense it made to me.TRANSFER OF SHARES FROM MS. EUDORA GREY TO MR WILLIAMS NELSON.Eudora quickly flipped through the pages to the last past where her signature should be, and true enough, her signature was there.She lifted her eyes to me, clearly panicking. “I didn’t sign this

    DESMONDJust as I slowly pushed the door open and stepped into the house, I came to an abrupt halt.Eudora was seated in the living room, but the surprise quickly got replaced by irritation when I noticed who was seated beside her.Orion.Of course it was him.Why the hell is he always around her?The sight of him sitting beside her, looking entirely too comfortable in my parents’ house, instantly put me in a bad mood.Trying to keep my expression neutral, I slowly walked further into the room. My eyes moved cautiously between my parents, Eudora, and then back to Orion.“What are you doing here, Eudora?” I asked quietly, unable to keep the suspicion out of my voice. “And what exactly is going on here?”“What do you think is going on?” she replied immediately, her tone harsh and unapologetic.She leaned further into the sofa, crossing one leg over the other.God.She looked incredible.She was dressed in a fitted three-piece black suit that somehow managed to make her look both elegant

    EUDORAI never liked visiting the Nelson estate when I was married to Desmond, and time had done nothing to change that.Back then, every visit felt like a punishment. Their smiles were always too forced, and their eyes constantly judging me.And now?Now that I was no longer Desmond’s wife, stepping foot on their property felt even worse.Orion slowly pulled the car into the driveway, the tires crunching softly against the gravel. Behind us, our two escort vehicles came to a stop.I wasn’t the helpless woman they used to know.I am no longer standing alone.Beside me, Orion reached for my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. He must have noticed the way my shoulders had stiffened the moment we drove through the gates.“You don’t have to face them.” Reaching across the console, he cupped my face in his hands, his thumbs brushing against my cheeks.I forced a small smile and leaned into his touch.“They stole my shares, Orion,” I reminded him softly. “I have to face them.”“No, you don’t

    EUDORAAfter we had submitted all the right documents to the bank, fhe bank officials informed us that it would take seven business days for everything to be processed and finalized.Today is day six.Just one more day.In less than twenty-four hours, I would finally get the answers I have been waiting for, and if everything went according to plan, I would get the chance to confront the Nelsons about the shares.I wrapped both hands around my coffee cup, letting the warmth seep into my palms as I stared absentmindedly at the dark liquid inside.Normally, I would have found it relaxing, but today my mind was too occupied.“Eudora?”My fingers tightened slightly around my cup as I slowly lifted my gaze, only for my mood to worsen instantly.Of all the people I could have run into today, it had to be him.Desmond.Standing a few feet away from my table, his hands tucked into the pockets of his dark jacket and though he tried to appear confident, I could tell he is a bit nervous. “What

    EUDORAThe moment I knocked on the door, every voice inside went silent.Camellia was the first to speak from inside.“Are you expecting anyone?” she asked, sounding confused.“No, I am not,” Mrs. Dawson muttered. After a brief pause, she asked, “Are you?”“No, I’m not,” Mr. Dawson answered.“You don’t think they heard our conversation, do you?” Mrs. Dawson asked nervously.“There is always one way to find out,” Camellia replied. “I’ll get the door.”A few seconds later, the door swung open.The moment Camellia saw Orion and me standing outside, all color drained from her face. Her eyes widened slightly in shock before she quickly tried to compose herself.“Hello, Camellia,” I greeted politely, making sure not to let an ounce of my anger show on my face.“How long have the two of you been standing here?” she asked cautiously.I could already tell what she was really asking. How much did we hear?“Open the door, Camellia,” I said coldly. “I’m not in the mood for your drama. We’re here

    EUDORAJust as I had suspected, it didn’t take Orion long to find Henry Cole.Dawson was right all along. Henry knew something about my father’s shares.He didn’t have the original documents with him, but he handed us a photocopy of the share certificate and gave us the address of the bank where the original documents had been kept for years. According to him, my father had purchased the shares in my name and arranged for the originals to remain safely stored at the bank until I was old enough to claim them.There was only one problem.The bank wouldn’t simply hand over the documents to anyone who walked in and claimed to be Mr. Grey’s daughter. I would have to prove my identity first.Henry explained that if I could provide sufficient evidence that I was indeed Mr. Grey’s biological child, the bank would release the original share documents to me since they legally belonged to me.That brought us back to one person. Mr. Dawson.If anyone alive could confirm that I was my father’s dau

    EUDORA“What exactly is happening here?” I asked, my voice shaking as my eyes stayed fixed on Camellia. “How… how is she even here?”She didn’t look the least bit bothered. With a bored sigh, she slid off the desk and smoothed out her dress like this was all normal. “I thought you said she wouldn’t

    EUDORAI believed I could live and die with the secrets of what really happened that night between Desmond and me a month ago, but the two pink lines on the pregnancy stick in my shaky fingers mocked me.My knees wobbled, my hands trembling as I slid down the cold toilet tiles, cradling my head as

    EUDORATWO YEARS LATERBeing married to Desmond was worse than I had imagined.I lost my job.Not because I took time off but because he went there himself and convinced my boss to fire me.And he didn’t stop there.He made sure no one else would hire me. Every application I sent out was rejected a

    EUDORAAlready dressed for work, I grabbed my purse and headed downstairs with the plan to grab a quick breakfast before leaving, but I ran into mum in the hallway instead.“You’re going to work?”Obviously. “Yes.”She folded her arms, looking at me like I was doing something foolish. “The wedding
