Tempted by my brother-in-law. TOMORROW
TOMORROWPOV: HazelKaden's voice on the speaker was steady.Steady in the way it was when he had already done the work of processing something and was on the other side of it by the time he called. He had probably been sitting with it since his father called him and he had probably gone very quiet and very internal and had come out the other side and picked up the phone."Tomorrow," Nikolai said."Yes," Kaden said. "He lands at eleven in the morning.""Does he need somewhere to stay," Nikolai said."I told him he could stay at the estate," Kaden said. "He said no. He said he would find somewhere near the city. I did not push.""Good," Nikolai said."I am going to meet him at the airport," Kaden said. "Alone. The way I said I wanted to.""Yes," Nikolai said."And then," Kaden said. "Whatever after that looks like.""Yes," Nikolai said.A pause."Are you alright," Nikolai said."I have been asking myself that all morning," Kaden said. "I keep arriving at the same answer.""Which is," N

Chapter 108TURNPOV: NikolaiSable had said the name clearly.He had said it and I had heard it and I had asked him to say it again and he had said it again and the second time landed differently from the first, the way things did when the mind needed to hear something twice before it let it be real.Margaret Varyn.Margaret had facilitated the original connection between her own stolen research and Reeve's predecessor.I drove back toward the estate without speaking for a moment.Hazel was in the passenger seat and I could feel her working through it the same way I was, taking it apart piece by piece, looking for the configuration that made sense."She sent the documentation to Rajan Anand," Hazel said."Yes," I said."And she sent Aleksei away with the documentation," she said. "She let him take it.""She gave it to him," I said. "Willingly. According to Sable's reading of what the solicitor is saying.""And then she facilitated the connection between that documentation and the man

NAMEDPOV: HazelWe went back inside.Vera was still in her chair.She looked up when we came back through the door and did not look surprised to see us which was confirmation enough before I said a word.I sat down.Nikolai stood near the door."The journalist," I said. "James Holt.""Yes," she said."You gave Mara the account documents," I said."I gave them to Mara three days ago," she said. "Before Portugal. I wanted it on record and I wanted it out before anything else came out that would frame it in the wrong way.""What wrong way," I said."The way that makes it look like the account was a transaction," she said. "Money paid to manage a situation. Keep a woman quiet. Keep a child in place." She looked at me steadily. "It was not that. I wanted the public record to show what it actually was before someone else wrote what it looked like."I looked at her."You gave a journalist eleven years of private financial records," I said."I gave Mara context," she said. "She is responsibl

Chapter 106VERAPOV: HazelShe was in her chair.Of course she was.Tea on the table, fire going even though it was morning, the book face down the way it was when she was waiting for something rather than reading. She looked up when we came in and her eyes went to the folder in my hands and then to Nikolai's face and then to mine.She knew something had shifted.She always knew."Sit down," she said.We sat.I put the folder on the table.Nikolai looked at her."Sable called me this morning," he said. "The investigators found something in Reeve's files. A name connected to the original Cardivance structure from the beginning."Vera's hands were still on the arms of her chair."Tell me the name," she said.Nikolai told her.She looked at the fire.Not the fire exactly. Through it. The specific quality of looking at something that was not in the room.We waited.The library was quiet.Outside the window the garden was bright and cold and the bench was the shape it had always been and
Tempted by my brother-in-law. FLIGHT
FLIGHTPOV: NikolaiI told Kaden at the counter while my mother was making eggs.Not dramatically. Just set my coffee down and said our father is booking a flight and he is coming next week and watched Kaden's face do the thing it did when something large arrived and he was deciding where to put it.He was quiet for a moment.Iris handed him a book.He took it automatically and looked at it and then looked at me."Next week," he said."Yes," I said."He called Hazel," he said."My hands were full," I said.He looked at the book in his hand.It was a cookbook. Iris had very specific taste in what she redistributed around the kitchen."What did Isabella say to him," Kaden said.I told him.He listened and when I finished he looked at the counter and was quiet for long enough that the eggs were done and my mother had put plates in front of both of us and Hazel had sat down and Iris had abandoned the books in favour of trying to reach the edge of the table before he spoke."She tried once
Tempted by my brother-in-law. LAST
LASTPOV: HazelThe last page was different from the others.Not in the handwriting. That was the same, Margaret's slightly rushed script, the handwriting of someone always getting something down before the thought moved on. But the content was different. The pages before it were technical, dense with observation and measurement and the specific language of someone documenting a compound with precision. The last page was not technical at all.It was a letter.Not addressed to anyone specific.Just a letter, written in the same notebook, on the last page, and when I turned to it I understood immediately that it was not part of the research documentation.It was something she had written for herself.Or for whoever came after.I had read it twice before I messaged Nikolai.He came in with Kaden behind him and I looked at the two of them standing in the library doorway and held up the page.Nikolai sat down.I handed it to him.He read it.Kaden read it over his shoulder.The library was
