Mason placed a folder in front of me. I took it and opened the cover. He wasn't Taylor. I couldn't ask him to summarize the report. So, I read it carefully.

I widened my eyes when I saw the total amount of money Cullen had left. I counted the numbers from the back to make sure I hadn't misread them. But the numbers didn't change. Crazy. The nominal inheritance was enormous.

“Is this figure correct?” I muttered.

“Yes. I requested the income data from the bank under Cullen Channing’s name. He received money from the family company and his own one, as well as from investments and shares in several other companies,” Mason explained.

Oh, right! I forgot about those two things. Cullen’s income wasn’t only from the family business and his company. Why did I forget he also had investments and stocks? Oh, my God. It saved me from all my problems. I had more than enough money to pay off my debts and sue Bridget.

“Thank you,” I said, overwhelmed with emotion. “What should I do next?”

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   150|Fear of Criticism

    “Good morning,” my colleagues greeted me as I entered the dining room.“Good morning,” I replied.“You don't bring Keane?” Lydia asked, looking behind me.“No. My son has to get used to not being with me during working hours,” I replied.“The first day is always tough,” she teased. “Edith had to go through it, too, after I stopped working at the club.”I left enough breast milk for Keane at home. My baby would be fine. Olivia could help him get by at Channing’s house without me there. So I was sure she could handle his crying while I was at work.“Are you okay?” Vicky asked softly.I turned to her after filling my mug with coffee. “What do you mean?”She and our two friends exchanged glances. “Didn’t you see the news?”“News?” I pulled out my phone and opened one of the browsers.“Photos of Dashiell dominated the media over the weekend. Someone took pictures of you all in the backyard,” my assistant replied.I knew it would happen, but I didn’t expect the media to find out so quickly.

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   149|Observation Time

    [Darcy]Going on vacation at the villa was a great idea. We could do so many things. Cycling was one of my favorite activities that day. Spending the weekend at home would only drive me crazy because I couldn't stop thinking.I also used that opportunity to observe Sinclair and Keane. Strange. The man was awkward when holding my baby. He had a child. Carrying an infant shouldn’t be unfamiliar to him. Yes, that experience was six years ago. But he couldn’t have forgotten.Did all the cruelty he had committed over the past few years make him uncomfortable touching an innocent child like Keane? However, he acted neutrally with Dashiell. Seeing his son’s affection for him, he must be a good father.“What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Sinclair asked.We brushed our teeth together in the bathroom. I shook my head and spat. After rinsing my mouth, I stepped out of the bathroom. Sinclair wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close, my back pressed against his chest.

    “Dad! Look!” Dashiell shouted.I turned in the direction he was pointing. There were two raccoons near a large tree. The animals only stared at us before hiding behind the tree. They might be looking for food to prepare for winter.“No, Boyd!” I called out. The dog ran toward the pair of animals. “I'll lock you in the villa if you disobey me.”The dog understood the command. Boyd stopped, looked at me, and obeyed. He ran over to Dashiell. We continued on our way. The forest was beautiful with its changing leaves. Yellow, red, and orange enhanced the scenery.I observed my surroundings. Our villa was far from other villas. I chose a secluded location because I liked privacy. However, some people or families used the road to drive around, ride bicycles, or look for picnic spots.My men seemed to be preventing strangers from entering our area. Good. I didn’t want any enemies disguised as locals to harm my family. Darcy was cycling beside Dashiell. I followed them while keeping an eye on

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   147|Agony in Waiting

    [Sinclair]Neil arrived with Conrad. My informant brought a woman with him. I only allowed the lady to come in and asked the two men to wait outside. The employee wore a mask. She looked at the baby and took out her equipment.After swabbing Keane's inner cheek with a cotton bud, I asked her to step outside. We went downstairs, and the woman took my blood sample. It was more comfortable than her wiping the inside of my mouth.“Why can't I get the results tomorrow morning?” I asked.“The woman and her partners work all day. They need to be in top physical condition to examine your and the child's DNA. You should be grateful that a clinic and its staff are willing to work on weekends to fulfill your request,” Conrad said.“I’m paying them handsomely,” I replied.“There are many samples we need to examine, sir. My boss is on good terms with Mr. Mitchell. That’s why he’s willing to help you. Don’t worry. We’ll have the results by tomorrow night,” the woman assured me.I couldn’t wait that

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   146|A Day Together

    [Darcy]I was surprised to see what Scott took out of the car trunk when we arrived at my house. I knew I needed it, but I had forgotten to ask the maid to get it. Thankfully, my bodyguard took the initiative to bring it.“Did you just buy it?” I asked, inhaling the scent of the new item.“The boss bought it online earlier. He forgot to purchase it when ordering Keane's supplies,” Scott explained. He opened the baby stroller. “Here you go.”Sinclair purchased it online? He might have realized something was missing when carrying Keane. Or he saw Olivia and me taking turns holding my baby. We didn't protest or object to that. But Keane would be more comfortable lying in the stroller than on the couch.“Please bring it inside. Keane will need it later. I need to train him to be independent from me,” I said.My colleagues were drinking coffee in the dining room. I greeted them and sat down briefly. Keane didn’t want to be near them and hugged me tightly. However, he wanted to play with Ol

  • The Mafia's Frozen Bride   145|Test My Patience

    I finished my work before the dinner appointment. Austin didn't accompany me because the meeting wasn't about work. I went with Neil to a hotel. Thankfully, my colleague hadn't arrived. I wasn't late.The waiter showed me to the table that we had reserved. Unlike my other colleagues, the man I was meeting chose the main dining room instead of a private room for talking. I looked around. I saw Hans and Viola sitting together at a table near the window."I heard that Hans confessed his love to his friend a few days ago. Both families approve of their relationship," Neil reported.‘Good. That woman won't bother me anymore,’ I said."Viola and Ivy's relationship has been tense since the cops arrested Poppy," he added.“Let it be. I don’t want to get involved in their family affairs.”We stopped talking because my colleague arrived. After shaking hands, the man asked the waiter to serve food and drinks. He introduced his partner to me. His business partner needed a large loan.I gave the s
