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. Eleanor watched him and felt the final, crushing weight of her failure. This was the man she had broken.A sleek, black sedan suddenly pulled up silently behin

The world returned to Eleanor not all at once, but in muted, disorienting fragments. A sterile white ceiling. The faint, rhythmic beep of a machine. The unfamiliar weight of a soft, heavy blanket. 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. He placed the glass of water on the bedside table. “You collapsed. Your father was… distraught. He called me. I thought it best to bring you somewhere secure. Somewhere quiet and away from the media.”“My father,” Eleanor said, the memory returning in a rush of shame.

The Grand Ballroom of the Rothschild estate was a cavern of gold leaf and crystal, designed to make anyone standing inside it feel small. Tonight, however, the mood was not one of intimidation, but of raucous, self-satisfied triumph.To an outsider, the gathering looked like the social event of the season. The air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume and the hum of a string quartet playing Mozart with mechanical precision. Waiters in white gloves moved like ghosts through the crowd, refilling flutes with vintage champagne that cost more than a mid-sized sedan.To Lucian Rothschild, it looked like a circle of vultures picking over a fresh carcass.He stood near the French doors that led to the terrace, his back to the glass. Ideally, he would have been outside, letting the cold rain numb the feverish heat in his blood, but appearances had to be maintained. He was the prodigal son now. The loyal brother. The fiancé of the year.He held a tumbler of scotch in his hand, gripping

The air in the cavernous boardroom was so thin it felt as though all the oxygen had been sucked out by the sheer force of Eleanor’s presence.The shouting was over. The legal threats had ceased. What remained was the heavy, suffocating silence of total defeat.Simone Rothschild sat at the head of the mahogany table, a position he had usurped only days ago. Now, he looked like a man sitting on a throne that was rapidly crumbling beneath him. His face was a mask of controlled fury, his knuckles white as he gripped the edge of the leather armrest.Across from him, Eleanor Valemont—now Eleanor Chen—stood calmly as she gathered her files. She didn't slam them. She didn't gloat. She simply tapped the edges of the dossier against the table to align them, the sound echoing like a judge’s gavel in the quiet room."The injunction is filed," Eleanor said, her voice cool and devoid of the trembling hesitation that had plagued her three years ago. "My team will begin the audit of the hostile takeo

The Valemont estate had once been a place of warmth, filled with the scent of lilies and the sound of her father’s booming laughter. Now, it stood like a mausoleum on the hill, shrouded in the gray mist of the morning.Eleanor stood in the center of the grand foyer. Dust covers draped the furniture like ghosts. The air smelled of neglect and stagnant time."It’s cold," Leo whispered, pressing his face against Eleanor’s leg."It’s just a house, Leo," Eleanor said softly, resting her hand on his head. "We’ll warm it up. Sarah is in the kitchen making hot chocolate. Go find her."Leo hesitated, looking at the shadowy corners of the unfamiliar house, but the promise of chocolate won out. He scampered off toward the back of the house, his sneakers squeaking on the dusty marble.Eleanor watched him go as her expression hardened."You are exposing him," Alistair said. He was standing by the window, checking the perimeter security feeds on his tablet. "Bringing him here, to the place Simone i
