GEORGE

I drove to the estate immediately. I found Theodore in the dining room with two nurses attending to him. One held a glass of water while the other prepared his medication.

He looked up as I entered.

"George, what brought you to the estate this night?"

"What did you say to Leila?" I said looking straight into his eyes.

His hand paused over the table. He looked at me but didn't answer. Instead, he took the glass from one of the nurses, swa

    KARLSomething kicked my ribs. "Hey. Get up."I opened my eyes to a pair of worn work shoes. Morning light spilled across the concrete floorboards, and when I tried to sit up, my head throbbed with a sharp pain. My stomach lurched instantly, the bitter taste of cheap whiskey coating my tongue."I'm talking to you," the voice snapped.I looked up, squinting against the glare. A man holding a mop stared down at my face, his expression completely unbothered by my grey suit."Do you know who I am?" I demanded, my voice coming out rough and dry.He glanced down at my soaked jacket, then at the wet pavement around my legs.

    GEORGEI drove to the estate immediately. I found Theodore in the dining room with two nurses attending to him. One held a glass of water while the other prepared his medication.He looked up as I entered."George, what brought you to the estate this night?""What did you say to Leila?" I said looking straight into his eyes.His hand paused over the table. He looked at me but didn't answer. Instead, he took the glass from one of the nurses, swallowed the tablets, and handed it back."Excuse us for a moment," he said, nodding towards them. The nurses gathered their things and walked out, leaving us alone.Theodore reached for his cane and pushed himself to his feet. He leaned on it, then extended his left hand toward me. "Help me to the living room."I stared at him for a moment. He kept his hand extended. I stepped forward and took his arm."I was thinking of sending for you tomorrow morning," he said, stea

    LEILA"My name is Graham Ashcroft. I'm Mr. Theodore Hawthorne's legal counsel." He placed a blue document on my desk. "Mr. Hawthorne asked me to deliver this proposal to you, Miss Stonne. He's prepared to offer you ten percent of his personal wealth."I glanced at the document but left it where it was."Why?"Graham folded his hands in front of him. "His personal wealth is currently valued at thirty-six billion dollars. The ten percent offer amounts to three point six billion."I looked at the document again."There's more," Graham said. "Mr. Hawthorne is willing to sponsor your company's relocation to France. He will cover the costs of establishing the business there and provide th

    KARLGraham reached out to open the first folder as he stood up beside Theodore."Effective immediately, Karl Hawthorne is removed from his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Hawthorne Group," he read, his voice clear and professional. "He is also removed from any executive authority granted to him by the board."I kept my eyes fixed on him, my hands sliding deep into my suit pockets."Continue," Theodore whispered.Graham turned the page."Under the trust instructions executed by Theodore Hawthorne, any inheritance previously intended for Karl Hawthorne is revoked."I looked at my father, my jaw locking. Beside me, Ellen had gone entirely quiet. Graham reached for the second blue folder and opened the cover."Ellen Hawthorne," he continued, looking down at the text. "Theodore Hawthorne has initiated divorce proceedings against you on the grounds of theft and financial mismanagement."Elle

    KARLTwo o'clock.I checked my watch again. More than an hour had passed since my father ordered Ellen and me out of the boardroom."Go to the estate," he'd said. "Wait for me."That was all he'd given us. No explanation followed his words. There was no indication of why he needed us out of the boardroom so abruptly.I was still trying to understand what was happening in that meeting. Had the board decided I was no longer fit to run the company? The questions irritated me almost as much as the waiting.I was the CEO of the Hawthorne Group. Whatever problems the company faced, I was the one expected to deal with them. Theodore had no right to shut me out of a meeting and leave me sitting here like a child waiting to be summoned. If he had something to say to me, he could say it to my face instead of hiding behind a closed door.I glanced at Ellen. She sat across from me on the sofa, her handbag resting on her lap. She hadn't said anyth

    GEORGEThe phone rang just as I was tightening my tie for the office."George, I need to see you today." Theodore's voice came through the speaker, rough and strained. I could hear the weight of each breath."Before you go to the office," he added. "Come to the estate first."The call ended before I could ask what was wrong. I stared at my phone for a moment. I didn't know why he suddenly wanted to see me, but I didn't waste time trying to guess.I adjusted my tie, picked up my keys, and left.The butler showed me into the study, where Theodore sat behind his desk. His cane rested beside his chair, and his face looked more tired than it had the last time I saw him."These may be my final days, George," he began. His voice was weak, but his eyes remained fixed on me. "The doctors gave me a year, but with everything happening now, I don't know if I'll even have that long."He paused, drawing a slow breath."The compa
