Chapter 50: A Labyrinth of Ghosts

A cold, grey sky hung over the prestigious cemetery. The manicured lawns were unnaturally green. The funeral was filled with cries and prayers.Eleanor stood beside her father with a black veil covering her face, but there were no tears to hide. She felt nothing but a vast, hollow emptiness.She watched the faces in the crowd. Board members from Valemont Industries had expressions that were carefully somber. Society figures who had whispered about her mother in private now offered condolences in public. The words were meaningless noise. “I’m so sorry for your loss.” “She was a wonderful woman.”Her father was a hollowed-out man. The king of industry was gone, replaced by a ghost in a perfectly tailored suit. He moved and spoke, but his eyes were vacant, fixed on the polished mahogany casket that held the center of his world.

She’s not in their estate.Eleanor sat up. Her movements were slow and groggy. The room was a serene, minimalist bedroom suite, decorated in calming shades of grey and white. An IV was taped neatly to the back of her hand.The door opened, and Alistair Chen walked in. He was not dressed in his usual sharp suit, but in a simple black sweater and dark trousers. He carried a single glass of water.“Where am I?” Eleanor’s voice was a dry, unused rasp.“A private medical facility of mine,” Alistair answered, his tone calm and even.

Somewhere quiet and away from the media.”“My father,” Eleanor said, the memory returning in a rush of shame.
