"But I still think it's him. Two people do not look this identical," Nancy reasoned.Irene came padding down the stairs, still half-asleep. "Morning, sis. Morning, Nancy."Irene was a first-year university student. She went for a morning run most days, so she was usually up early."Irene, come here for a moment," Amara said.Irene walked over and leaned toward the plate Polly had just set down."Pumpkin pie. My favorite." She stuck out her tongue, almost vibrating with impatience.Amara tapped her lightly on the head with fond exasperation. "Brush your teeth first."Irene made a face. "What is it, sis?"Amara held out the photo. "Take a look. Tell me who this is."Irene glanced at it once. "Oscar, obviously. Who else would it be? It is just a back, but that is clearly him. He has only been gone a few days. What, sis? You cannot recognize him anymore?"Amara pressed two fingers to her throbbing temple.The man they had thrown out as useless was not useless at all. He had play

Amara shook her head. "Impossible. He couldn't be Mr. Stone. He only took the surname Stone after we removed him from the family."Nancy knew exactly who she meant. She did not believe it either. But she had gathered the photo herself, and she had already sensed the familiarity before Polly said a word.Now a thought formed in her mind that she could not dismiss."It's a strange coincidence. Miss Amara, you removed Oscar from the family, and almost immediately after, the name Mr. Stone began circulating. And it was right after that day that the Northspire gang changed hands," Nancy reasoned.Amara cut the pie absently. "He spent years in this house and never amounted to anything. How could someone like that take over a gang and influence Draconia's decisions from the inside?"She paused. "That is something even our family cannot do. Even my father, when he was alive, could not have done that."Nancy fell silent, then said, "Miss Amara, do you remember the timing? When you removed

Amara ran through a few quiet reassurances, straightened her clothes, and got to work.The Chamberlains were never idle. They could not afford to lose her attention for even a day.Downstairs, the housekeeper had already laid out breakfast.Amara glanced at the staircase. Her brother and sisters were still asleep.She had built this life for them. She took a satisfied bite and let the feeling settle. This family stood because she held it up.The front door opened.Nancy walked in with a briefcase. Serving as Amara's secretary demanded more than most people could give."Have you eaten? Come sit," Amara said.Nancy shook her head. "Already ate."She produced a document. "Miss Amara, we have an answer. Rebecca's backer is Mr. Stone. And it does not stop there. He appears to have real influence over Draconia's top-level decisions."Amara's hand paused over her plate. She had run the name through her upper-level contacts. The consensus was that Mr. Stone carried some weight, but n

Oscar did not know when he had fallen asleep. When he woke, his phone screen was lit. It was an unknown number.He glanced toward the window. The sky had just begun to lighten."Hello?" he answered, despite the discomfort pressing through his body."Oscar. It's me. Amara."He had recognized her voice the moment the call connected. She did not need to say her name.He was about to hang up, but she continued, "Don't. I know things are going well for you. You've become the brother of Draconia's CEO overnight. But our family treated you well, and I want to ask you for one thing."Her voice dropped, a note of helplessness beneath it.Oscar said nothing. He used to hate that tone more than anything. It meant she was stuck. It meant she had run into something she could not solve on her own.Back then, it would have pulled at him immediately. Now, he felt nothing.He sat with that for a moment, turning the calculation over in his head. Then he let out a quiet, hollow laugh. 'Things ch

Bella dropped to one knee and lowered her head before Natalie."Oh?" Surprise flickered across Natalie's face for the first time. "The Chamberlains are one of the great families of Silverton. You're a decorated officer in the force, young and still rising. The Citadel Forces is not a place where anyone coasts on reputation. The capable move up. The weak are cut."Bella straightened. "That is exactly what I want.""Interesting." The corner of Natalie's mouth shifted. She was about to refuse, then paused as something crossed her mind. "All right. I'm being transferred out of Silverton today. Are you willing to come with me?"Bella dipped her head. "I am.""Then go pack. We leave now."That caught Bella off guard. "Now?""Yes. Is that a problem?""No.""Then let's go."Natalie walked out of the residential district with Bella at her side.The only thing Bella left behind was a message to Amara.Bella: [Going to another city to train. Don't worry about me. As for Oscar, even if

Bella had been busy all day. After everything that happened the night before, she had spent every waking hour going back through her own record.She refused to believe that a career she had bled for, every case, every commendation, every rank, had only happened because someone else had been quietly clearing the way.Yes, she had been unusually lucky, more than once. But that was how the world worked, right?Luck was part of the job. She had never once questioned whether that luck was hers or borrowed.But the file did not lie. Case after case, detail after detail, it all pointed the same direction. She was not chosen by the universe. She was propped up by a person.Oscar had said it was him. She had not believed him.But every thread led back to one name: Red Hawk.That made no sense, because she had never met Red Hawk. Never crossed paths with her. Never had any connection to her at all. That was what had brought her here tonight.Losing to someone better was fine. What matter

"There's no bus stop around here," Oscar said, scanning the road."It's only two miles," Rebecca replied lightly. "That's close."Oscar frowned. 'A girl her age, walking alone out of a place like this?'The Percham District, the city's shantytown, housed more than the poor. It drew drifters, loaf

Diana covered her nose and crouched beside the trash bin. She sifted through the discarded herbal dregs, examining them one handful at a time.With each closer look, her frown deepened. These were common sedative and calming herbs, mild and standard. If something this ordinary could cure Amara's he

Wasn't Oscar supposed to be the most insignificant man in the Chamberlain family? The one who stayed home, cooked, cleaned, and amounted to nothing?He had been thrown out of the Chamberlain house, yet he had managed to escape Dargan on his own?Amara's headache intensified. Before she could sort

By the time Bella returned to the Chamberlain estate, it was well past midnight.The villa still blazed with light. The Chamberlain sisters lived at the most prestigious address in Silverton, and at night the mansion shone so brightly that it had become a landmark for social media influencers."I'
