Clara woke with a start, her heart pounding, her body drenched in sweat.

The house felt different tense, silent, like it was holding its breath.She found Cassian in the study, surrounded by the security team. His face was pale, his gray eyes dark with fear."Cassian?

    The lunch had dissolved into chaos.Alexander Sr. had walked out of the dining room without another word, leaving his family staring after him in confusion and concern. Elena had tried to follow him, but he had disappeared into his study and locked the door."What was that about?" Imogen asked, her voice tight with worry."I don't know," Clara said. "But it didn't look good."Cassian stood up. "I'm going to talk to him.""Cassian—""I need to know what's going on. He's never been like this."He walked to the study door and knocked. "Dad? It's me. Open up."Silence."Dad, I know something's wrong. Let me in."A long pause. Then the door clicked open.Alexander Sr. stood in the doorway, his face pale, his hands trembling. He looked older than Cassian had ever seen him frail, frightened, defeated."Dad? What's wrong?"Alexander Sr. stepped aside and gestured for Cassian to enter. Then he closed the door behind them."I received a letter," he said quietly. "From Marcus Black."Cassian fel

    The morning sun streamed through the nursery windows, casting a warm glow over the crib where Sarah lay sleeping.Clara stood beside the crib, her hand resting on the rail, her eyes fixed on her daughter. Sarah was three weeks old now, and she was growing slowly, but surely. Her cheeks were fuller, her dark hair thicker, her gray eyes brighter every day."She's beautiful," Clara whispered."She looks like you," Cassian said, appearing in the doorway."She looks like you.""She looks like both of us.""That's what I've been saying."He crossed the room and wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"I love you.""I love you too."The house was already bustling when Clara came downstairs.Elena was in the kitchen, supervising Maria and Paulina as they prepared breakfast.

    The chapel was full by ten o'clock.Clara stood at the entrance, greeting the guests as they arrived. Her colleagues from Whitmore had come Priya, Monica, Derek, and several others. They had brought gifts and flowers and cards, and they had all exclaimed over how beautiful Sarah was."She's gorgeous," Priya said, peering into the carrier. "Absolutely gorgeous.""She looks like Cassian," Monica said."She looks like Clara," Derek said."She looks like both of them," Priya said. "That's how genetics works.""I know how genetics works," Derek said."Then why did you say she looks like Clara?""Because she does.""She looks like Cassian.""Can we agree she looks like both of them?" Clara interrupted, laughing. "That's what I've been telling everyone.""Fine," Priya and Derek said in unison.The Kingsley family acquaintances were there too old friends of Elena and Alexander Sr., business associates, members of the extended family. They filled the pews, their faces bright with curiosity and

    The morning sun streamed through the hospital window, painting the room in shades of gold.Clara sat in the chair beside James's bed, Sarah in her arms, her eyes fixed on his face. He had been unconscious for six days now six long, terrifying days. The doctors had said he was stable, that he was healing, that he would wake up when he was ready.But Clara was not patient."Jamie," she whispered, holding his hand. "It's me. Clara. Please wake up."He did not respond."Sarah is here. She's beautiful. She has dark hair and gray eyes, just like her father. And she's so small. So perfect."She paused, tears pricking at her eyes."I want you to meet her. I want you to know her. I want you to be part of her life,bpart of our lives. You're family now, Jamie. You've always been family."A tear slipped down her cheek."Please. Please wake up."And then like a miracle.His fingers twitched.Clara gasped. "Jamie?"His eyelids fluttered. His lips parted.

So she had let them take her daughter, promising to be back soon.Just a few more minutes, she told herself. Just a few more minutes with him.Cassian was still unconscious. The surgery had been successful the doctors had stopped the internal bleeding, repaired the damage to his skull, relieved the pressure on his brain.
