Chapter 51:Shadows in the Light

Spring unfurled slowly around the Sinclair estate. Trees bloomed with pale blossoms, and birdsong filled the crisp morning air. Despite the serenity, a quiet tension simmered beneath the surface—a storm of a different kind. Ava noticed it first. Delilah had grown quieter over the past week. Though she still helped around the house and worked on marketing for the bakery, her smiles were more strained, her laughter delayed. At night, Ava sometimes heard the creak of floorboards as Delilah wandered the hallways alone. It all came to a head one Saturday morning. Dominic had taken Liam to a nearby lake for fishing, giving Ava and Delilah the house to themselves. Ava was in the kitchen kneading dough for brioche when she noticed Delilah sitting silently at the table, her hands folded tightly in her lap. "You okay?" Ava asked gently. Delilah hesitated, then nodded. "Just tired." But Ava could see the shadow in her eyes. "You haven’t been sleeping, have you?" Delilah looked away. "I ha

Chapter 52:Vault of secrets

The morning after Delilah uncovered the key, tension hung in the Sinclair household like a tightly drawn bow.Dominic spent the early hours making calls to his legal team and trusted security firm, arranging for a discreet investigation into the now-defunct Sinclair Financial. Ava, meanwhile, kept herself occupied baking with Liam and tending to Emilia, trying to project calm while her thoughts stormed beneath the surface.Delilah stayed mostly in her room, poring over the old letters and documents in the wooden box, hoping for clarity. But most of the pages were cryptic—coded messages, mentions of numbered accounts, and references to unfamiliar names. One phrase repeated more than once, scribbled in the margins of different pages:"Only the broken will find the door."Delilah couldn’t make sense of it. "What door? What does it mean?"---Later that day, Dominic gathered the family in the study. His expression was grim but focused."The firm Sinclair Financial closed a decade ago," he

Chapter 53: Ghost of power

Dominic sat alone in his father’s study, the thick black ledger open before him. Every entry, every coded transaction, was another glimpse into the vast web of secrets Robert Sinclair had spun in his lifetime. Offshore accounts, shell corporations, hidden property deeds—and now, names. Names of people powerful enough to change the fate of a family with a single signature.And at the top of the page, in Robert’s unmistakable handwriting: Victor Hale — Do not trust. Dangerous. Ruthless.The name rang like a thunderclap in Dominic’s mind. Hale wasn’t just a ghost from his father’s past. He was alive, well-connected, and had a reputation for using legal loopholes and blackmail to dismantle his enemies. If he was the one who leaked Delilah's existence and stirred up the press, then he was far from done.---"Victor Hale?" Ava echoed, sitting beside Dominic as he explained what he’d found. Emilia slept in the baby carrier at her feet. "I remember that name. He sued your father when we were

Chapter 54:Full Circle

The golden sun rose over the Sinclair estate, bathing the hills in a warm glow. A light breeze carried the scent of lilacs and rosemary across the estate gardens. Birds chirped overhead, fluttering from one blooming hedge to another as if they too were rejoicing in the peace that had finally settled upon the house.It had been two years since the chaos that once threatened to unravel everything.Two years since Ava discovered the true identity of Liam’s father.Two years since Delilah had walked into their lives like a storm, carrying pieces of a past none of them had expected.Two years since the world had tried to expose their family secrets, and yet they stood stronger than ever.Today was a day of celebration. A day of new beginnings. A day where full circles finally closed and fresh ones began.---Ava stood in the kitchen of the estate’s main house, dressed in a soft linen sundress, her hair braided down one shoulder. She was icing a tiered cake for Liam’s birthday while Emilia
