Amber's POVThe call dropped after the second ring.I stared at the screen for the three seconds it took Kade to register my face and grab his keys from the table.I called back immediately.It rang six times. Voicemail. Harper's voice, bright and recorded and completely at odds with the cold terror climbing my throat.Hey, you've reached Harper. Leave something interesting."Harper." My voice came out low and controlled in the way of someone suppressing something very large. "Call me back right now. Do not open your door for anyone. Call me back."I hung up.Called again.Straight to voicemail this time. She had either declined it or her phone was no longer in her hand.Neither option was acceptable.Kade was already moving toward the corridor. I followed, pulling my coat on as we went, fingers missing the buttons twice before I gave up and left it open. The elevator took eleven seconds to arrive, and I counted every one of them standing beside Kade in a silence that had the particul

Amber's POV"Mrs. Blackwell, we believe your father's death was not natural."The words fell into the silence of Harper's apartment as something dropped from a great height.I did not move.Did not breathe.On the television, a late-night host was laughing at something. Harper reached over without looking and turned it off."What did you find?" My voice came from somewhere outside my body."I cannot share specifics over the phone," Agent Reyes said. "But what I can tell you is that the financial trail in your husband's accounts suggests a transaction that predates your marriage by eight months. A signif

Amber's POVI stared at the screen.My father's phone.His name. His contact photo. The small picture I had taken of him at his desk three years ago, laughing at something outside the frame, tie loosened, completely himself.The phone I had watched my uncle slip into his pocket at the funeral because he said he would handle canceling the contract.It rang a third time.Kade reached over and closed his hand over mine. Not taking the phone. Just steadying my hand because it had started shaking without my permission."Answer it," he said quietly.I answered.Silence on the other end. Not empty silence. Breathing silence. Someone there, present, deciding.Then a voice I did not recognize. Male. Older. Careful."Miss Sinclair." Not Mrs. Blackwell. Miss Sinclair. Deliberate. "My name is Thomas Greer. I was your father's private attorney. Not his corporate counsel. His personal attorney."I found my voice. "I do not know that name.""Your father intended it that way. I handled matters he kep

Amber's POVMy hands did not shake.I was surprised by that. After everything the last seventy-two hours had delivered, I would have expected my hands to shake holding an envelope my dead father had addressed to me with those words on the back.But they were completely steady.Maybe there was nothing left to shake with. Maybe grief and shock and betrayal, stacked high enough, eventually became something structural. Something you stood on rather than buckled under.Kade was still on the phone with his lawyers, pacing the corridor with the focused intensity of a man dismantling a legal structure in real time. He had not seen the envelope yet.I did not c

Amber's POVI looked at the screen for three full seconds.My uncle Robert is moving through the Blackwell Industries lobby like a man with somewhere important to be. No handcuffs. No federal escort. Just Robert Sinclair in his gray suit with his silver hair and his father's eyes walking across marble floors that had nothing to do with him.I turned to Kade.His face told me he was already three steps ahead of his own reaction, already calculating, already moving from shock to response with the speed I had come to understand was simply how he functioned under pressure."Agent Reyes told me he was taken into custody at eleven fifteen," I said."She beli
