Caiden was in Singapore for three days.

Leo had informed her on Monday morning with his usual clean efficiency. *Mr. Wolfe will be travelling Tuesday through Thursday, Mrs. Wolfe. The household schedule remains normal.*

She had not required anything. She taught her classes, held her tutoring sessions with Cullen, marked papers, ate dinner with Cullen on Tuesday and alone on Wednesday, and finally finished the mock-exam planning she had been putting off. The house functioned exactly as it always

    December arrived with another Christmas gathering at the estate.Cullen, Mei, and Grace came from Singapore, and the house quickly filled with noise again.Grace was now nearly nine months old, healthy and energetic after the frightening beginning that had once left the entire family terrified.Harlowe followed her around the living room, determined to make her laugh."She likes me," Harlowe announced proudly."She adores you," Mei said.Grace answered with an excited string of babbles.Eleanor smiled from her chair."Definitely stubborn.""She gets that from you," Cullen teased.Eleanor raised an eyebrow."I heard that."Everyone laughed.Christmas morning was simple and loud.Harlowe tore into her presents while Grace sat on Mei's lap, fascinated by the wrapping paper.Nadia watched them from beside Caiden."Six years," she said quietly.Caiden looked at her."Six years since the contract.""Sometimes it feels like yesterday."He glanced across the room at Harlowe."Other times, I c

    Nadia’s stomach dropped. The warmth of the evening disappeared in an instant."Who's claiming defamation?" she asked, already reaching for her coat."Gerald Finch," Priya replied. "His lawyers sent the notice. They're claiming the book misrepresented his role in the 1994 cover-up and damaged his reputation. They're asking for an immediate injunction to stop further distribution."Caiden's expression hardened."Finch already testified about his involvement," he said. "Everything was documented during the investigation.""His lawyers aren't disputing that he participated," Priya said. "They're arguing that the book goes further by suggesting he acted with criminal intent.""We need to see exactly what they're challenging," Nadia said.Twenty minutes later, they were at the foundation office.Their legal team was already gathered around a conference table, the formal notice spread across the surface."This isn't necessarily a disaster," their lead counsel said. "Finch's testimony is publ

    The book's success continued through the following weeks.More readers contacted the foundation, asking about its programmes and ways they could help. Some shared their own experiences with family betrayal, while others simply wanted to tell Nadia that the story had given them hope.One crisp October morning, Eleanor asked Nadia to join her for tea.Nadia found her waiting in the sitting room."I wanted to talk to you about something," Eleanor said.Nadia sat across from her."What is it?"Eleanor wrapped both hands around her cup."This book has made me think about legacy."Nadia smiled."What about it?""For most of my life, I thought legacy was about what we leave behind."She paused."I don't think that anymore.""What do you think it is?""Being present while we're still here."Nadia's expression softened.Eleanor continued."I spent decades thinking my role was to watch from a distance. Offer advice when necessary. Keep everyone steady."She smiled faintly."But watching all of

    They arranged to meet Robert Hayes the following afternoon.His email had contained enough specific details about Harlan's final months for Caiden to believe he was probably telling the truth. Still, after everything they had uncovered over the years, neither of them was willing to accept another revelation without checking it carefully.Hayes arrived at the estate shortly after lunch.Nadia had expected someone older. Instead, the man who stepped through the door looked to be in his early seventies, with silver hair, a careful manner, and the slightly guarded expression of someone who had spent years debating whether he should finally speak."Thank you for agreeing to meet me," he said as he settled into the study."What changed your mind?" Caiden asked.Hayes glanced at the book manuscript resting on the table."The book."Nadia waited."I've thought about contacting you for years, but I never knew if it was my place. Then I heard you were publishing your family's story, and I reali

    August brought Harlowe's sixth birthday.The estate was filled with children that afternoon, along with parents, family friends and enough decorations to make Eleanor complain that they'd turned the garden into a circus.Harlowe didn't care.She was too busy running from one group of friends to another, directing a game she'd invented herself."Everyone has to follow the rules!" she announced.Caiden stood nearby with a plate of cake."Apparently, I'm in charge of refreshments."Nadia laughed."You look terrified.""I am."Eleanor watched Harlowe from her chair on the terrace."She's becoming quite the little leader.""She gets that from you," Nadia teased.Eleanor gave her a look."I certainly hope not."Harlowe came running over."Grandma Eleanor! They aren't following the rules!"Eleanor looked toward the group of children."Then explain the rules again."Harlowe nodded seriously."I already did.""Then you have a management problem."Harlowe thought about that."Can Daddy fix it?"

    Caiden read the message over Nadia's shoulder, his expression tightening."What could Ashworth possibly know about the accuracy of our book?""I don't know," Nadia said. "But after everything we've uncovered, I'm not willing to dismiss it."They contacted the correctional facility and arranged a meeting before Ashworth's transfer the following week.Voss, Ashworth's former attorney, joined them.The meeting room was small and plain. Ashworth sat across from them, looking thinner than Nadia remembered."I'll be honest about why I asked for this meeting," he said. "I'm hoping the information helps me with my parole case. But that doesn't mean the information itself is false."Caiden leaned back."Then tell us."Ashworth nodded."Before my arrest, I was digging into Roland's old financial dealings. I found something connected to the water purification patent. The one that came from Bellweather's independent research."Caiden's expression changed."What did you find?""More documentation.

    The second Nadia stepped out of the hotel, the cold bit straight through her scarf. She paused at the top step, her boots planted in place as she tried to make sense of the mess in her head.Calling it bad luck felt ridiculous. She had shown up to her best friend's wedding looking for a night of ce

    Morning.Nadia Verne's eyes fluttered open, and her first sensation was a wave of soreness throughout her body. Instinctively, she looked down and realized she was completely bare, with even her underwear missing. She glanced around the room. She seemed to be the only one there. The bright red stai

    Caiden looked at her with the same cool patience he probably applied to difficult board meetings. "So," he murmured, his eyes locking onto hers. "What is your final answer, Miss Verne?""Still no," she said, making sure every word landed.He studied her for a long, quiet moment. There was no flash

    Nadia stumbled back two steps before she managed to catch her balance.The car window was already gliding down smooth and silent. She froze on the pavement because, out of all the black Bentleys in the city, of course it had to be his.Caiden barely glanced her way before his attention shifted to C
