Lena's POV

Jade was still beside me, waiting.

The lobby noise continued around us, team wrapping up, cameras being packed, Henry talking to someone from the press office with the warm attentive expression he brought to every conversation, Claire moving between people with the quiet efficiency that was simply how she occupied any professional space. All of it carried on exactly as it had been thirty seconds ago.

Everything felt slightly different to me now.

"Where is he?" I asked.

  • The lost Morrison Heiress   Chapter 75

    Lena's POVFive years.The Morrison mansion in July, the specific quality of it on a reunion day, the gates open, cars in the driveway, the fountain running, the smell of Henry's cooking reaching the entrance hall before you got through the door. The accumulated warmth of a house that had been filled, over five years, with enough significant moments to have changed the quality of its air permanently.I stood in the sitting room doorway and I watched.Ethan was eight.He moved through the reunion with the specific self-possession that had been his since birth and had only become more pronounced with time. He had Damien's directness, the complete, unhurried attention he gave things, the refusal to be rushed into an opinion he hadn't formed yet. He had Marcus's warmth, the way he made people feel seen when he looked at them, the laugh that arrived before the decision to let it.He was stubborn.This remained not in question and not disputed.He was currently engaged in what appeared to b

    Lena's POVClara arrived at three-seventeen in the morning on a Wednesday in January.Not because Wednesday was significant or three-seventeen was significant or January was anything other than cold and dark and the month that followed Christmas where I had been eight months pregnant and moving through the mansion with the particular careful momentum of someone in the final approach to something enormous.She arrived then because she decided to.That was already, I understood immediately, very Clara.The contractions started at midnight.I was awake, I had been sleeping poorly for the past two weeks, the specific physical discomfort of the final stretch, the baby's relationship with the available space becoming increasingly complicated, and when the first one arrived I lay still for a moment and thought: that's different.I timed the next three.Then I woke Marcus."It's time," I said.He was awake before I finished the sentence.He sat up and looked at me with the complete focus of

    Lena's POVI found Damien in his study.He was at his desk with his screens on and his hands flat on the surface in front of him and the piece open on the center screen, which told me he had been reading it when I knocked and had not closed it, which told me he was not trying to manage my awareness of the situation.He looked up when I came in.I sat down across from him."Tell me what you know," I said."You've read it," he said."I've read it. I want to know what you know about the source."He looked at the screen."Someone with access to internal information about the Ashworth situation," he said. "The specific framing of the accusations, the personal grievance angle, requires knowledge of my history with Ashworth that wasn't in the public record. It was in the company's internal files." He paused. "Which means someone who was inside.""Abel is working on it," I said."I know," Damien said."What are you going to do?" I said.He looked at me."What I always do," he said. "Wait for

  • The lost Morrison Heiress   Chapter 72

    Lena's POVThe appointment was at nine. Dr. Adaeze's office, which had the specific quality of a room where important things had been said to me before, the first appointment after I arrived at the mansion, the careful competent voice of a doctor who had been briefed on the full situation and had asked her questions without making me feel examined.Marcus was with me.He had been with me at every appointment.Not because I had asked him to be, I had told him early in the pregnancy that I was capable of attending medical appointments alone, which was true, and that he didn't need to rearrange his schedule, which was also true. He had listened to all of this and had said: I know you don't need me there. I want to be there. Those are different things. And I had looked at him and had thought: yes. Those are different things. And I had stopped arguing.Dr. Adaeze did the scan.The room was quiet.The screen was showing.She said: "Do you want to know?"Marcus and I looked at each other."

    Lena's POVHenry came to my room at seven-thirty on the morning of his wedding.I was already up, the pregnancy had strong opinions about sleep schedules and had been expressing them since five a.m., and I was sitting at the vanity when he knocked and came in with two cups of tea and the expression of a man who needed somewhere to put the feeling he was carrying."Sit down," I said.He sat on the edge of the chair by the window.He held his tea with both hands.He looked at it."Henry," I said."I'm fine," he said."I know you are," I said. "That's not what I was going to say."He looked up."I was going to say you look exactly like you're supposed to look on your wedding morning," I said. "Like someone who is about to do the best thing they've ever done."He looked at me for a moment."Is it obvious?" he said."That you're completely undone?" I said. "Yes. Entirely."He laughed, surprised out of him. "I've been trying to manage it.""Stop managing it," I said. "It's your wedding. Y

    Lena's POVAbel and Cara's first anniversary fell on a Saturday in March.I knew this because Abel had been planning it since January with the comprehensive dedication he brought to anything that mattered to him, and because the planning had been visible in the way that Abel's planning was always visible, not because he announced it, but because Abel moving toward something with purpose had a specific quality that the people who knew him had learned to read.He had made a reservation at a restaurant.A good one. The kind that required the call months in advance that Abel had apparently made in January, which told me he had started planning the anniversary before the previous year's anniversary had fully concluded, which was either extremely organized or extremely Abel, and I had decided those were not mutually exclusive.The reservation had been cancelled.Not by Abel.By Cara.She had cancelled it on a Wednesday, three days before the anniversary, and had replaced it with something e
