Isla was reviewing a report when Dominic arrived at Delacroix Holdings with copies of the documents recovered from the safe.

“Graham is reviewing the records,” he said. “Come with me. There’s someone else we should speak to.”

She followed him to Graham’s office, where he was examining one of the documents.

“Found anything useful?” she asked.

Graham pointed to a company name. “I recognize this. It appeared in our older records and was involved in an investment arrangement with one of our subsidi

  • The Woman He Buried   The Meaning of Family

    Tristan’s invitation caught Isla by surprise.They had barely spoken since the meeting at Delacroix Holdings. Although he had always treated her kindly, their conversations since her return had been brief and in the presence of others. Still, she saw no reason to refuse.They agreed to meet for lunch at a restaurant Tristan had chosen. When Isla arrived, he was already waiting.“Thank you for coming,” he said as she took her seat.“Your invitation surprised me,” Isla admitted with a small smile. “But it’s good to see you again.”“I thought we should talk without everyone else around.”They exchanged a few pleasantries. Tristan asked how she was adjusting to her responsibilities at Delacroix Holdings, while Isla asked about his work and the family business.Eventually, the conversation turned to Fabian.“Dominic mentioned that you found documents about me,” Isla said. “He told me you discovered I was a Delacroix.”Tristan nodded. “I came across some records in my father’s study that di

    Isla was reviewing a report when Dominic arrived at Delacroix Holdings with copies of the documents recovered from the safe.“Graham is reviewing the records,” he said. “Come with me. There’s someone else we should speak to.”She followed him to Graham’s office, where he was examining one of the documents.“Found anything useful?” she asked.Graham pointed to a company name. “I recognize this. It appeared in our older records and was involved in an investment arrangement with one of our subsidiaries.”“Was it connected to the Vega Group?”“Possibly. I need to check the original files.”Dominic placed another document on the desk. “We should speak with Idris. He worked closely with your grandfather. If Silas knew about Magnus’s concerns, he may have discussed them with him.”Graham nodded. “It’s worth asking.”Dominic called Idris, who arrived shortly afterward. He read the copy of Magnus’s handwritten note Dominic handed him.“I remember these concerns,” he said. “Master Silas and Mag

  • The Woman He Buried   What the Safe Held

    Dominic entered Silas’s study carrying a folder. Isla looked up from the documents on her desk.“I found the records for the safe,” he said, placing the folder before her.“Was the combination recorded?”“Yes. It was kept with the estate records.” He showed her the inventory. “The safe was sealed after your grandfather’s death, and its contents were recorded as undisturbed.”“Has anyone opened it since?”“There’s no record of it.”Isla glanced at the safe against the wall. “Then we should see what’s inside.”“I agree. We should have Finn present as a witness and document everything we remove.”Dominic called Finn, who arrived a few minutes later. He explained the procedure and showed him the inventory and combination records.“I remember the safe,” Finn said. “It was secured after Master Silas’s death, though I wasn’t involved in handling its contents.”“Your presence will help confirm what we find,” Dominic replied.He entered the combination and opened the safe. Inside were several

  • The Woman He Buried   The Perfect Picture

    Sasha stepped out of the shower and checked the time. Cassian was coming over that evening, and she intended to make the most of his visit.She had given her maid the evening off to avoid interruptions. When the doorbell rang, she checked the peephole and smiled. Cassian was outside. She loosely tied her silk robe, ran her fingers through her damp hair, and opened the door.Cassian looked momentarily surprised. “Did I come at a bad time?”“Not at all.” Sasha gave him a shy smile. “I was just finishing my shower. Come in.”She leaned forward and kissed his cheek before stepping aside.Cassian entered, and she closed the door behind him. Her damp hair fell over her shoulders. He noticed her appearance but kept his expression neutral.“Why don’t you get dressed first?” he suggested. “We can have dinner and talk.”Sasha moved closer and whispered in his ear, “Are you

  • The Woman He Buried   A Carefully Played Hand

    Sasha arrived at her office at Marquez Group shortly before noon. After setting down her handbag, she glanced at her engagement ring.Her meeting with Lukas had gone nowhere. He had questioned her motives, refused to get involved, and made it clear that he trusted Isla enough to dismiss her warnings.Perhaps she had taken the wrong approach. If she couldn’t turn those close to Isla against her, she would have to strengthen her ties with the Vega family instead.They had always welcomed her. Franklin approved of her relationship with Cassian, while Diana had treated her warmly for years. If Sasha wanted to secure her future with Cassian, keeping his mother on her side was important.She picked up her phone and called Agatha. Her mother answered after a few rings.“Sasha? Is everything all right?”“Yes, Mother. I wanted to ask when the next ladies’ tea gathering is.”“Next week, I believe. Why?&

  • The Woman He Buried   A Matter of Fifteen Minutes

    The drive back to the Delacroix estate was quiet. Lukas noticed the change in Isla's expression after her brief encounter with Cassian, but he chose not to ask. Whatever had happened between them, she clearly preferred to keep it private.When the car stopped at the estate, Lukas turned to her. “Are you all right?”Isla smiled faintly. “I’m fine.”He studied her. “You don’t have to pretend with me.”“I know.” She glanced toward the entrance. “You’re leaving for Munich tomorrow, aren’t you?”“Tomorrow evening. I still have a few things to take care of before I go.”“Then I won’t keep you.”Lukas stepped out and offered her his hand. They walked toward the entrance, where the staff had already opened the doors.“I’ll call once I’m settled,” he said. “And you’re always welcome in Munich. My family would love to see you.”“I might take you up on that.”He gave her a brief, familiar embrace. “Take care of yourself, Isla.”“You too. Have a safe flight.”Lukas held her gaze for a moment befo
