The Kingston Holdings cafeteria looked more like a luxury restaurant than an employee dining hall.

Large glass windows overlooked the busy streets of Manhattan. Fresh flowers decorated every table, and the aroma of freshly prepared meals filled the air.

Amelia stopped near the entrance.

"This is a cafeteria?" she whispered.

It looked nicer than any restaurant she had ever visited.

Employees walked confidently between food stations, selecting meals prepared by professional chefs. No one seemed s

  • The Billionaire Who Chose Me   Chapter 60

    Rain began falling just after sunset.Soft.Steady.The kind of rain that made New York glow beneath the streetlights.Inside Alexander's penthouse, the atmosphere was much quieter than it had been in days.The hidden compartment.The second key.Olivia's letter.The Black Raven Society.Everything had happened so quickly that neither Alexander nor Amelia had truly had time to breathe.For the first time since the gala...They were finally alone.Amelia stood in the kitchen, making two cups of tea.She wasn't thinking about recipes.Or work.Or schedules.She was thinking about Alexander.Ever since Richard revealed the truth about Olivia...Alexander had carried an invisible weight.He smiled.He spoke normally.But she knew him well enough to notice the difference.He was quieter.Lost in thought.She carried the tea into the living room.Alexander was standing by the windows, watching the rain."You've been staring outside for fifteen minutes."He smiled faintly."Has it been that

    The hospital room remained silent.No one spoke.No one moved.The only sound was the slow beeping of Richard Sullivan's heart monitor.Amelia stared at the black raven symbol on the card.It looked simple.Almost ordinary.Yet it had filled Richard with more fear than the sniper's bullet.Alexander folded the card carefully."The Black Raven Society."Richard closed his eyes."I prayed you would never hear that name."Daniel frowned."I've worked intelligence and private security for years.""I've never seen that symbol."Richard gave a weak smile."That's exactly why they're dangerous."An hour later...The police had secured the hospital floor.Investigators photographed every inch of the room.The attacker had disappeared without leaving fingerprints.Without leaving DNA.Without appearing clearly on any security camera.It was as if he had never existed.Daniel stood near the window."They knew exactly where every camera was.""They planned this."Alexander nodded."They've been

    The sun had not yet risen over New York.St. Matthew Medical Center was unusually quiet.The emergency wing remained under heavy police guard after the shooting at the Kingston Foundation Gala.Outside Room 712...Two officers stood watch.Daniel had personally requested additional security.If someone had tried to kill Richard Sullivan once...There was every reason to believe they would try again.Alexander stood outside the room, staring through the small window in the door.Richard lay unconscious.Machines monitored his heartbeat.His shoulder was heavily bandaged.The bullet had missed his heart by less than an inch.The doctor had called it a miracle.Alexander wasn't sure he believed in miracles anymore.Amelia quietly walked up beside him."You've been standing here for ten minutes.""I know.""You don't have to go in alone."He looked at her."I've spent half my life wanting answers.""And now...""I'm afraid of what they might be."Amelia reached for his hand."Whatever the

    Richard Sullivan walked alone through the dimly lit parking area behind the Kingston Foundation Hall.His silver cane tapped steadily against the pavement.He neither hurried nor looked over his shoulder.It was as though he already knew someone was watching.Several yards behind him, Alexander and Amelia were making their way back toward the ballroom.Neither of them noticed the shadow on the rooftop across the street.Only Daniel did.Years of military training had sharpened his instincts.Something felt... wrong.He stopped walking.His eyes slowly scanned the surrounding buildings.Windows.Balconies.Rooftops.Then—A brief flash.Like moonlight reflecting off metal.Daniel's eyes widened."Sir!"Alexander turned immediately.Daniel shouted at the top of his lungs."Get down!"A deafening crack split the night.Bang!The bullet cut through the air.Richard instinctively turned toward the sound.Too late.The round struck his shoulder with tremendous force.He staggered backward.

    The night air turned cold.Richard Sullivan's final words echoed through the quiet garden."Olivia Kingston wasn't my first victim."No one spoke.Even the fountain seemed quieter.Alexander stared at the man in front of him.His voice was calm.Too calm."What did you just say?"Richard rested both hands on the silver handle of his cane."I said exactly what you heard."Amelia instinctively reached for Alexander's hand.She felt the tension in his fingers.He wasn't just angry.He was fighting every instinct telling him to attack the man standing before him.Alexander took a slow breath."If you're trying to provoke me..."Richard interrupted with a small smile."No.""I'm trying to tell you that you've been asking the wrong question for years."Alexander's eyes narrowed."What should I be asking?"Richard looked toward the fountain."You've always asked who killed Olivia."He paused."You should've asked why."A heavy silence settled between them.Amelia studied Richard carefully.H

    The grand ballroom fell silent.Every conversation stopped.Every camera turned.Richard Sullivan stood at the top of the marble staircase as though he belonged there.His silver hair was neatly combed.His tailored black tuxedo fit perfectly.The silver cane in his right hand gave him the appearance of a respectable elderly businessman.Only a handful of people in the room knew the truth.Alexander did.William did.Daniel did.Adrian did.And now...Amelia.Richard smiled as if he were greeting old friends."Good evening."His calm voice echoed through the ballroom."What a beautiful event."Alexander instinctively stepped slightly in front of Amelia.A subtle movement.Almost impossible to notice.But Amelia did.He was shielding her.Again.Richard's eyes landed on the gesture.A slow smile spread across his face."Still protective."Alexander's expression remained unreadable."You shouldn't be here."Richard chuckled."I received an invitation.""You manipulated your way onto the
