Ivy stood by the window, arms crossed, staring out at the city lights below Sebastian’s penthouse. Los Angeles glittered like nothing had changed.
Like people weren’t bein

WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 28 – The One Move They Didn’t See
The door hadn’t fully settled before the tension shifted.Not disappeared. Not eased. Shifted.Ivy stood exactly where she was, eyes still on the space Cruz had occupied seconds ago, her mind already working through everything that had just happened. Every word. Every pause. Every look.Sebastian moved first. He walked toward the door, not opening it, just stopping in front of it like he could still feel Cruz’s presence lingering in the air.“She knew,” he said.Ivy didn’t respond immediately. “Yes,” she said finally. “She did.”Sebastian
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 27 – The Game She Already Won
Cruz didn’t sit.That was the first thing Ivy noticed.She stepped into the penthouse like she owned the space, her gaze sweeping once, slow and deliberate, taking everything in without appearing to. The kind of observation that didn’t miss anything, even when it looked casual.Sebastian remained near the bar, relaxed in posture but not in presence. Ivy could feel the tension coiled beneath his stillness.Cruz stopped a few feet away from them.“You’ve been busy,” she said.Her tone was calm. Too calm.Ivy til
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 26 – When the Hunter Turns
Detective Elena Cruz didn’t check her phone immediately.That was what made her dangerous.She let it sit on the table beside her untouched, screen lighting up once before dimming again, as if whatever waited there could afford to wait. Cruz had learned a long time ago that urgency was often a performance. Real threats didn’t beg for attention. They arrived quietly and stayed.She finished her coffee first. Black. No sugar. Then she reached for the phone.The message wasn’t long. It didn’t need to be.
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 25 – The Lie Beneath the Truth
They didn’t agree to it out loud.They didn’t need to.The moment they stepped out of Victor Blackwood’s study, the air between them changed—not softer, not easier, but sharper. Defined. Like a blade that had finally found its edge.Ivy didn’t speak as they walked down the long hallway. The estate felt different now. Colder. Like it wasn’t just a house but something constructed to hold power, secrets pressed into its walls over decades. She could feel it watching them.Or maybe that was just the feeling Victor left behind.
WICKED INHERITANCE Chapter 24 – The Price of Knowing
No one moved. Not immediately.Victor stood in front of them, close enough that Ivy could see the fine lines at the edges of his eyes—proof of age. But nothing else about him felt old.Not his posture.Not his presence.Not the way he looked at them like he already knew how this would end.“You’re being dramatic,” Ivy said coolly.Victor’s gaze flicked to her. Amusement. Brief.“You think so?”“Yes.”She stepped forward slightly, refusing to give him space. “You shot your own son,” she said. “Let’s not pretend this is about anything other than control.”Sebastian didn’t interrupt. Didn’t defend. Didn’t soften it.Victor studied her for a long moment. Then—He laughed. Quiet. Low. Dangerous.“Control?” he repeated.His eyes shifted to Sebastian. “Is that what she thinks this is?”Sebastian’s voice was flat. “Answer the question.”Victor’s smile faded. Not completely. Just enough.“You’re both asking the wrong ones,” he said.Ivy’s patience snapped slightly.“Then give us the right ones.

They didn’t leave immediately. That was the first smart decision they made.Victor Blackwood wasn’t a man you approached impulsively. He was a man you prepared for.“Where is he?” Ivy asked, standing near the bar as she poured herself a drink she didn’t need.Sebastian didn’t answer right away. He was staring at his phone, scrolling through something old. Something buried.“Not in Los Angeles,” he said finally.“

The jet took off at 2:40 a.m.Ivy didn’t sleep.She sat by the oval window of the Blackwood private jet, watching Los Angeles disappear beneath the clouds while the quiet hum of the engines filled the cabin.Across from her, Sebastian Blackwood sat with his long legs stretched out, reading somethin
