Heir to Skyfall

Chapter 26 — Recovery

He was home in two days.

The doctors wanted three. He negotiated two with the specific, polite immovability of a man who had made a decision and was prepared to be gracious about waiting for the institution to catch up. She drove him back to the estate herself — not the penthouse, the estate, where the security was layered and the grounds were monitored and she could have three members of his team on-site without it feeling like a fortress.

  • Mistress To Heiress    chapter 31

    Heir to SkyfallChapter 31 — The Other SonHis name was Grant Holloway.Forty-one years old. Attorney. Quiet professional record, no criminal history, no public profile to speak of. He lived in a brownstone in the north of the city and had, by all appearances, been living a completely ordinary life. His mother was Elena Santa. His biological father, according to the clause Elena had buried in the original marriage contract, was recorded as Alexander Voss — conception dated to a window that placed it inside the technical boundaries of the marriage period.Salvador had the full picture in seventy-two hours. He laid it out on the kitchen table the same way he laid out everything — clean, sourced, without editorializing."He's legitimate in the documentary sense," Salvador said. "The clause exists, it was executed by attorneys on both sides at the time of the original agreement, and it was never challenged because Alexander's team didn't know it was in the contract. It was buried in a sub

  • Mistress To Heiress    chapter 29

    Heir to SkyfallChapter 29 — The FilingShe gave the documents to the financial crimes division on a Tuesday morning.No press statement. No notification to the board in advance. The meeting was forty-five minutes with two investigators and her legal counsel, and when it was over she walked back through the lobby of the federal building into the early summer sun and stood on the steps for a moment and breathed.Salvador was on the phone ten feet away, jacket on, watching the street with the automatic vigilance she'd gotten so used to she barely noticed it anymore. He ended his call when she came down the steps and looked at her face."Done," she said.He nodded. Nothing more was needed.They drove back to the Tower in the quiet of two people who have done a thing that cannot be undone and have decided it was right. She had her hand on his forearm where it rested on the console. He drove with one hand, easy, the way he always did when she was beside him.She had no illusions about the

    Heir to SkyfallChapter 28 — Night RainMay came in warm and restless.The city had shaken off the gray of the long winter and the estate grounds were fully green, the rose garden in early bloom, the kind of late-spring evening that made the months of difficulty feel like something that had happened in a different season of life. She stood on the upstairs balcony in the dusk and watched the light leave the sky and felt the odd dissonance of beauty inside difficulty, the way the world kept being beautiful regardless of what you were carrying.The verification on Victor's financial trail had come back that afternoon. Solid. Airtight. Everything Salvador had said and then some — eight months of transactions, forty-three separate movements, a structure that would be recognizable to anyone who spent twenty minutes with a financial crimes investigator and the documents laid flat on a table.She had an appointment with the company's lead counsel in the morning to begin the process of transfe

  • Mistress To Heiress    Chapter 27

    Heir to SkyfallChapter 27 — The OfferErik Lundgren was Swedish, fifty-one, infrastructure and energy. He had the kind of wealth that no longer needed to announce itself and the kind of charm that had been refined over so many rooms that it had become almost natural. He was in the city for four days on the back of a deal that had nothing to do with Skyfall, and he requested a meeting through a mutual contact — legitimate, Margaret confirmed, a real conversation about a real partnership.They met at the Tower. His proposal was well-prepared: a joint venture in sustainable construction materials, capital on his side, Skyfall's regional infrastructure network on hers. The numbers made sense. She asked good questions and he had good answers, and by the end of the meeting there was a real possibility she wanted to think about.Then his assistant stepped out and he said, very smoothly, as though it were simply the next item on the agenda: "I'd also like to raise a more personal matter, if

She drove him back to the estate herself — not the penthouse, the estate, where the security was layered and the grounds were monitored and she could have three members of his team on-site without it feeling like a fortress.He accepted this without argument. She chose to interpret that as how much the shoulder actually hurt.The first two days he slept more than he admitted to needing and worked from the sitting room couch in the hours he was awake — calls, security reviews, the investigation into the shooter, which his team was running in parallel with the police inquiry. The shooter had not been found. The weapon had. The access point to the building's exit route had been logged by a keycard belonging to a catering staff member
