Selena Myers-Knight Chapter 32
The five days Selena and Claire spent in the country passed more quickly than expected. True to her promise, Selena made arrangements for Noah and Elvira to return with them. Katie and Lucian had both agreed to the arrangement, especially after Selena made it clear that the children would not be returning until they were in a better position to care for them. They had also started attending therapy and counselling sessions. It was a beginning, and Selena hoped they would take it seriously.The morning they returned, Noah was unusually quiet. He sat beside Elvira during the flight, occasionally checking on her and making sure she had everything she needed. Elvira, on the other hand, was fascinated by the aircraft and kept asking questions.“Are we going to Aunt Selena's house now?” she asked.“Yes, sweetheart,” Selena replied.“Is it far?”“Not too far.”“Will we stay there?”“For now, yes.” Elvira seemed satisfied with that answer and returned to playing with her doll.When they final

By the time Selena and Claire arrived in the country, it was already late afternoon. Selena was exhausted, but all she could think about were the two children waiting for them. When they reached Katie's house, the argument was still going on. Selena paused just inside the doorway, listening to the raised voices coming from the living room. Had they been arguing all this time, or had they started again? Noah heard it first. He appeared from the hallway, and the moment he saw them, his face crumpled with relief. “Aunties!” His shout finally drew his parents' attention. Katie and Lucian turned towards the doorway. Selena and Claire were standing there. Noah ran straight into Selena's arms. She crouched and held him tightly as he cried against her shoulder. Claire gathered Elvira into her arms, but the little girl soon reached for Selena too. Selena kissed her cheek and held her close. When she finally looked up, her eyes met Katie's, then Lucian's. The disappointment and disapproval

Katie had started taking her medication regularly, but there were days when she still struggled to manage even the simplest things. Noah noticed when she forgot to eat, when she sat in the dark, and when she stared at her phone without answering anyone. He had tried asking if she was okay, but she always gave him the same reply. “I'm just tired.” His dad was no better. Noah had watched as guilt slowly turned him inside out. Whenever his dad was home and Noah went to ask him for something, he sometimes caught him looking at pictures of himself and his aunt when they were together, or simply staring into space. When they first started living with his dad, Noah had asked his mother why they were living with his aunt's husband. She told him that his aunt had given them permission and said he could be their dad. He had been happy about it then. But as he grew older and started hearing more things, he began to understand what was happening between his parents and his aunt. Even at his young

The following morning, Selena arrived at Obsidian House earlier than usual. Her migraine had eased, though she still felt the lingering heaviness of the previous day. She had taken her medication, eaten something before leaving, and decided she was well enough to return to work. There were too many things waiting for her. The private investigator arrived shortly after ten. Selena invited him into her office and asked her assistant not to disturb them.“I hope you have something useful for me,” she said as he settled into the chair opposite her.“I believe I do, Ms Knight.” He placed a slim folder on the desk. “I have established the last confirmed movements of your aunt before she disappeared.”Selena opened the folder. There were dates, a few photographs and a short report. She studied the first page, then looked up. “Where was she last seen?”“At a hotel. She checked out on the morning of the date listed here. We have confirmation from the hotel records, and two members of staff reme

Selena hadn't been feeling too alright today, so she stayed home and worked from there. She had already sent the housekeeper back to her family house for the day, with instructions to resume work tomorrow. Claire had offered to handle the little routines Selena usually managed herself until she felt better, and Selena accepted without question. It was easier that way. The house was unusually quiet, and she intended to make the most of it.Her phone rang just as she opened the schedule. Nathan's name appeared on the screen.“Good morning,” she answered cheerfully.“Good morning, Selena. I hope I'm not interrupting.” His deep baritone bounced with the phone's frequency.“Not at all. I'm just working through a few things.” Selena crossed her legs .“I called to confirm our meeting. I was told you weren't at the office today.”“I'm working from home. I'm not feeling particularly well.” She confessed. She had woken up this morning to a splitting migraine and fever.“I'm sorry to hear that.

Claire arrived at Obsidian House less than twenty minutes after Selena called. She didn't knock twice or even ask if Selena was busy. She stepped into the office, closed the door behind her, and looked at Selena.“You sounded strange on the phone.”“I received something.” Selena opened her desk drawer and took out the folded note. “Read it.”Claire took the paper. Her eyes moved across the sentence, then she read it again. “In anything you do, do not trust Nathan Myers,” she said. “Who sent this?”“If I knew, we wouldn't be having this conversation.” Selena complained frustratingly.“Did the courier give you anything useful?” Claire asked.“Nothing that identifies the sender. My assistant is getting the delivery details, but I don't expect much.” Claire placed the note on the desk. “Has Nathan done anything that makes you doubt him?”Selena leaned back. “No. He's been straightforward with me. He admitted he had someone look into the business, apologised for doing it without asking, a
