Damien

I was serious about finding out what was really happening. The first time I got to the hospital, they turned me away at reception. It was kind of disheartening, but I wasn't one to give up that soon.

Their main reason was that visitor access required advance arrangement with the patient or their legal guardian. They took privacy and safeguarding seriously. The receptionist was very sorry she could not be more helpful.

She was not unkind. I figured she was just doing her job. Though disap

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   False Alarm

    DamienI drove back from the facility with different kinds of emotions. Sadness. Confusion. Excitement. Anger and silence.Sefa sat in the passenger seat and said nothing for the first hour, which I was very grateful for. I had no idea how I was going to react or what I was going to say if he asked anything. Besides, there was nothing to say that would have improved on the silence.We had agreed on the next thing to do before we left the building. It included all legal process, the formal application to have the guardianship reviewed, the documentation that would need to be filed. All of it was clear and manageable and would take time. I had him convinced that I understood everything perfectly and that I would be in touch.Then I got into my car and drove away.The motorway stretched endlessly ahead of me. Grey sky. Wet roads. Long empty spaces between cars. I drove for almost forty minutes before I realised the radio had been playing softly the entire time. I turned it off.Zara had

    DamienI was serious about finding out what was really happening. The first time I got to the hospital, they turned me away at reception. It was kind of disheartening, but I wasn't one to give up that soon.Their main reason was that visitor access required advance arrangement with the patient or their legal guardian. They took privacy and safeguarding seriously. The receptionist was very sorry she could not be more helpful.She was not unkind. I figured she was just doing her job. Though disappointed, I still stood my grounds. I stood at the desk for quite some time. And when I felt my foot sore, I left to my car.I sat in the car park for a while. The facility was a low grey building set back from a road that didn't get much traffic.My thoughts were foggy. I gave in, and then I drove two hundred miles home.I called a lawyer from the motorway. Not anyone connected to anything Rose had access to. At least one I trusted. I told him what I had. And he asked me to bring the birth recor

  • The Divorce That Ruined Him   The Ghost in the File

    Damien The flat was very quiet when I woke up. Rose wasn't around. I had called the lawyer and left a message. He wouldn't call back until eight, and I had nothing to do with the hours between. I poured a drink and did not touch it. I took my time to search for an old document. And when I got hold of it, I opened it along with the registry documents again and looked at my own name at the top of the transfer and closed them. I got up to stretch and found myself at the window for a while and watched the street below. I wasn't going to sleep again. Nor for now. I went to the spare room. Not to find anything specific. But just moving around. My eyes landed on a box that was on the top shelf of the wardrobe. I had not looked at it directly in years. I knew it was there. But I don't recall opening it. Though I moved it twice this year without opening it. Rose had told me the content of it. What it was when my mother died. I still had the urge to take it out and verify t

    DamienI had not gone looking for it. My mind was full. So full with complicated thoughts. I sat in the office at half past ten with the documents on the desk in front of me and the house so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.I had come back from Geneva still following Serena's thread — the legal notice, the Hale connection, the pieces that were pulling into a shape I didn't have a name for yet — and I opened the post-box in the lobby and there had been a letter from the trust registry.It wasn't really addressed to Rose. But rather addressed to me.A notification of registered transfer in the beneficial ownership of assets associated with Holt Meridian Properties and the secondary holding structures above it.I remember reading it standing in the lobby.Then I took the lift upstairs and sat down and read it again and then pulled up the registry online and began to trace what was in the letter against what was actually filed.It took me an hour or more because I lost track of time.

    Serena I had not expected it to feel like this. Power, I mean. The actual administrative weight of it is not the idea of it, which I had time to adjust to, but the daily texture of it. Three weeks into this, and I had begun to understand why Victor always looked tired and drained. This sure was tiring. Fourteen entities, each with their own particular set of obligations and vulnerabilities, each requiring someone at the top who was paying attention, which was my responsibility now. I was learning fast. ************ The inner circle had taken shape more quickly than I expected. Juliana first. I had noticed her in our very first meeting, the one where I had caught the compliance officer watching my reactions instead of focusing on what was at stake. She had not been watching my reactions. She had been watching the compliance officer watch me, which was a different kind of attention and a more useful one. After the meeting, I asked the senior partner about her, gotten three sente

    RoseEver since my last night with Damien before he left, iI had tried several attempts to get him to sign these documents. And finally, luck on my side, I feel this is one of the greatest opportunities. Though he hadn't looked at a single page.Damien had a very sharp mind, of course. A man who had once stood over an invoice because a line item didn't match the contract. Who could recall figures from quarterly reports he'd read years ago.He had taken the pen from my hand without asking what he was signing.I handed it to him carefully, gently, from the side, without drawing attention to the weight of it. The document had been between us, angled so the pages fanned away from him. He signed where I indicated. All sheets. And then he put the pen down and checked his watch like he needed to be somewhere else.That was the least of my worries. I gathered the papers and excused myself to the bedroom and once I was sure everything had settled, I sat on the edge of the bed and breathed for

But the way he said it — rough and unravelling at the edges, the voice of a man who had been holding something together for hours and was finally alone enough to let it slip, did something to my chest I did

I'm not so sure she has left the hospital, and no one will come in anytime soon.For close to a minute, I held my breath and exhaled once I was sure it was right to open my eyes.I took in a long and slow deep b

I hurriedly rushed off to the airport for my flight.The boarding gate was quiet at that hour.I kept my head down and my pace even and handed over

    Serena It took me three days to build something that was mine, and I found myself an apartment with Victor's assistance. He said that was the least he could do out of gratitude for saving his life. The apartment smelled faintly familiar. I stood in the middle of it with my bag on the floor and t
