The house was unusually quiet the next morning.

Not because everyone was asleep.

Because everyone was thinking.

The agreement Amelia had made with Damian hung over the house like an invisible clock.

Ten days.

Ten days before her flight.

Ten days before she left the country.

    Damian's voice echoed through the phone."It concerns you."Amelia's grip tightened around the handset."What did you find?"There was a brief silence on the other end."I'd rather tell you in person."Her heart sank."Damian...""What is it?""I promise you're not in immediate danger," he said gently. "But it's important.""I'll be back at the estate soon."The call ended.Amelia slowly lowered the phone.Sophie searched her face."What happened?"Amelia forced a small smile."He said they found something.""...Something that concerns me."---Nearly an hour later, Damian, Detective Bennett, Nathan and Adrian returned from Sub-Level B.The exhaustion on their faces was impossible to miss.Damian walked straight into the study, carrying a sealed evidence folder.Amelia stood as he entered."You said you found something."He nodded."We did."Bennett placed the folder on the table."It was inside the underground records room.""Forensics have already photographed everything."He slid a

    The vault was silent.No one moved toward Cabinet Twenty-One.Detective Bennett raised a hand."Nobody touches it until it's processed."The forensic team immediately began photographing the cabinet from every angle.Fingerprint powder dusted the handle.A portable scanner checked for hidden wiring.The lead technician looked up after several tense minutes."No explosives.""No electrical traps.""But..."He ran another scan across the back panel."There's an empty space behind the cabinet."Nathan exchanged a glance with Damian."A hidden compartment."The technician nodded."Or another room."---The heavy cabinet was bolted to the floor.With the help of the technical unit, the bolts were carefully removed.The cabinet was slowly pulled forward.A low scraping sound echoed through the vault.Behind it was a narrow steel door.Unlike the others, it had no keyhole.Only a biometric fingerprint scanner.Adrian frowned."That's newer."The engineer agreed."This wasn't built twenty-two

    Silence settled over the estate.The emergency lights bathed the grand hallway in an eerie red glow.Everyone's eyes remained on Amelia.She looked from Damian to Detective Bennett, confusion written across her face."I don't know what they mean," she said quietly."I've never inherited anything."Damian stepped beside her."I believe you."Bennett nodded."So do I."He turned to the others."The voice didn't say Amelia knows what she inherited.""It said to ask her.""There's a difference."Nathan considered that."So whatever she inherited...""...may have happened without her realizing it."---The estate's power was restored twenty minutes later.The IT team confirmed the outage had not been caused by the electrical company.Someone had remotely overridden the estate's backup system.Again.Nathan slammed the report shut."They're inside our systems."The cybercrime examiner disagreed."Not necessarily."He pointed to a maintenance log."The override came from a hardwired control

    No one rushed forward.Detective Bennett raised a hand, stopping the team."Treat everything in this room as evidence.""Forensics first."Two crime scene technicians stepped toward Cabinet Seven.They photographed it from every angle before dusting the handle for fingerprints.One technician looked back at Bennett."No visible tampering.""The lock has been opened recently."Nathan's eyes narrowed."How recent?""The lubricant on the hinges hasn't dried.""My guess? Within the last few days."A tense silence followed.Whoever had left the cassette recorder had also opened the cabinet.The lock was carefully disengaged.With a slow creak, the heavy metal door swung open.Inside...There were no stacks of money.No weapons.No secret files.Only six identical archive boxes.Each was labeled with a year.199819992000200120022003Adrian frowned."These don't match Samuel's investigation.""He disappeared twenty-two years ago."Bennett nodded."Which means someone continued keeping r

    For several seconds, no one moved.The only sounds inside the Archive were the echoes of the stranger's footsteps fading into the maze of tunnels and the steady drip of water from the ceiling.Nathan started toward the staircase."I'll go after him.""No," Bennett ordered.Nathan stopped."We split up now, and that's exactly what he wants."Adrian swept his flashlight across the upper walkway."There are at least four exits from up there.""He knew this place better than we ever could."Bennett nodded."He's gone."Damian's attention remained fixed on the brown envelope resting on the metal railing.FOR AMELIA HART ONLY.A forensic technician, who had just entered the chamber with the second team, carefully photographed it before slipping on a fresh pair of gloves."No visible signs of tampering," he said.He placed the envelope into an evidence tray."Let's see what's inside."Bennett shook his head."No."Everyone looked at him."It's addressed to Amelia."Nathan frowned."It could

    “Amelia!”The sound of Damian’s voice echoed through the apartment with a panic nobody had ever heard from him before.Sophie gasped.Nathan froze.And Adrian immediately lifted Amelia into his arms as her body went limp against him.“Move.”His calm tone cut sharply through the chaos.Years of med

    The words slammed into Damian like a physical blow.“Don’t touch her.”For a second, nobody moved.Amelia’s body trembled weakly in Adrian’s arms, her face pale enough to terrify everyone in the room.“Move aside,” Damian said coldly.Adrian ignored him completely.“Get water,” he told Sophie calml
