[Sinclair]

I ran around the yard, trying to forget all the problems weighing on my mind. I thought my life would be peaceful after solving the case of my parents' and brother's deaths. I didn't expect there to be an even bigger problem.

The vacation I had hoped would bring our family closer together didn't go as planned. I couldn’t deceive myself and enjoy our time together. Damn it. Why couldn’t I resist investigating my suspicions?

I wanted to discuss it with Darcy, but I was a coward. I wasn’t ready for the consequences of talking about Keane’s father’s whereabouts. We didn’t know how the public would react to Dashiel’s presence and its impact on Wyndham Finance, but we had to deal with a new problem.

“I was allowed to come to your office last Friday. Why can’t I come today?” Dashiel whined.

We had breakfast together in the dining room. The vacation didn’t affect my physical condition, but Darcy and my son looked sleepy. They didn’t exercise regularly. Therefore, they easily got ti

    Jack Rudick sat on the couch and looked at me in confusion. “I don't understand what you're talking about. Channing and Bailey aren't our clients. Darcy got pregnant naturally.”I studied his face. The man was aware of the details of the IVF program that Cullen and Darcy had undergone. It would have taken him a long time to answer if he wasn't close to that couple. Did he think I hadn't looked into his relationship with Cullen?I unbuttoned my suit jacket and sat down across from him. “Your clinic has been around for decades. You certainly don’t want a mistake to ruin this place’s reputation. Call that man now, or everyone will know you’re using stolen sperm.”“Sinclair, that’s a serious accusation. You can’t just say that without proof,” he said casually.“Then, explain this.” I nodded, and Neil placed a piece of paper on the table.Jack looked at me briefly before taking the paper. He read it and his eyes widened, knowing what the test was. “I don’t understand. Everyone knows you an

    “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.

    [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

    [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
