Not worth it

Amber POVThe thought of finally leaving the hospital had me smiling before Jason even finished packing our bags. After a month surrounded by doctors, nurses, and machines, I was more than ready to return to the castle with our newborn sons. Lucas and Ethan had both been cleared to leave, and Jason was already checking that we had everything we needed for the journey home.“You know we’re not moving to another country, right?” I asked when he inspected the bags for the third time.Jason glanced at me. “We’re bringing home two newborns. I’m allowed to be thorough.”“You packed enough clothes for a week.”“Babies are unpredictable.”“So are their parents, apparently.”He gave me a look, but the small smile tugging at his mouth ruined any attempt at seriousness. I laughed and settled back against the pillows, enjoying the thought that, in a few hours, I would be home with my husband and all our children under one roof again.Then I picked up the discharge papers.My smile faded as I scan

Home

Amber POVAdrian, unfortunately, was still too unstable to be moved. Emory had explained that although he was responding to treatment, his condition remained fragile, and transferring him now would introduce risks they weren’t willing to take. Clara and Mr. Asher had arranged to stay in a private hospital suite nearby so they could remain close to him.Before we left, I went to say goodbye to Clara. She sat beside Adrian’s bed, holding his hand while the monitors continued their steady rhythm. The exhaustion on her face was unmistakable, but she managed a small smile when she saw me.“Go home, Amber,” she said before I could offer to stay. “You’ve been here long enough, and the boys deserve to be in their own home.”“I’ll call you as soon as we arrive.”“You’d better.” Her eyes moved toward the twins’ carriers. “And send me pictures. Lots of them.”“I’ll send so many you’ll regret asking.”“That’s impossible.”I hugged her carefully, promising we would keep checking on Adrian and that

An Amateur Move

Amber POVJason had always been good at finding people who didn't want to be found. The contacts he had acquired through Cronos gave him access to information networks that most people didn't even know existed. With Mr. White and the Wyatts still at large, he had been using every connection available to track their movements.I was in the castle's private study when he finally found something worth our attention. Noah and Daniel were seated on the sofa, while Jasmine stood behind them, clearly annoyed that Jason had refused to let her join the investigation.Jason turned his laptop toward me. "We have a sighting of Adrian's father."I stared at him. "Where?""At a supermarket in a lower-income school district. He was seen there recently, and the location matches the last information we received about the Wyatts."For a moment, I simply looked at him."Adrian's father?" I repeated. "The same man who knows we're looking for him? The man who knows Mr. White is internationally wanted, and

Prove it

Amber POVNoah and Daniel reached the neighborhood later that morning. By early afternoon, Jason received their first report."There are people inside the school," Noah said over the secure call. "A lot of them."Jason straightened. "How many?""Approximately forty adults. Men and women. They're spread throughout the grounds, and several appear to be watching the entrances."I moved closer to Jason's laptop."Forty people?" I asked. "At a school that's supposed to be empty for the summer?""Exactly," Daniel answered. "There are no children around, and they don't look like teachers preparing for the next term. Some of the men appear to be trained security personnel."Jason's expression hardened. "Do not get any closer. Photograph what you can from where you are, then leave the area.""Understood."The call ended, leaving us staring at the map.Forty adults in a supposedly empty school. A suspicious sighting of Adrian's father nearby. And a group of people behaving as though they were g

His Move

Amber POVThe Sum president had finally made his move.And, as expected, he had chosen the biggest stage he could find.The rally was broadcast live across Sum, with thousands of people packed into the capital's central square and countless more watching from their homes. Flags waved above the crowd, enormous screens displayed the president's smiling face, and reporters had gathered in front of the stage, ready to capture every word.I watched the broadcast from the castle's private study, sitting beside Jason with a cup of tea growing cold in my hands.The president appeared on the screen wearing a dark suit, his expression unusually grave. He waited until the crowd quieted before stepping toward the microphone. When he finally spoke, his voice carried the sorrowful weight of a man preparing to deliver terrible news."My fellow citizens, it is with a heavy heart that I address you today."Jason glanced at me.I raised an eyebrow. "Here we go."The president paused for dramatic effect

Guilty Without Trial

Amber POVChristian exhaled slowly."You're aware that challenging him publicly will not be easy. His administration controls considerable resources, and he has spent years building a network of loyal supporters.""I'm also aware that you've spent years trying to expose the irregularities in his land agreements."Another silence followed, this one more thoughtful."Your investigators found the contracts?""We found the contracts, the payment records, and the correspondence surrounding the agreements. We've also found evidence suggesting that the administration's claims over the land changed after you had already fulfilled your obligations."Christian's voice sharpened. "How much evidence?""Enough to justify a serious investigation. Not enough for me to promise you a particular outcome."I could almost hear him reconsidering his position."I appreciate your honesty," he said at last."I prefer to know what I can prove before I make promises. It's a habit I recommend."That earned a br

The Witness

Amber POVBy evening, the president's announcement had spread across every major news channel. Commentators debated whether Jason and I should be arrested, while others questioned why the government had announced a guilty verdict without presenting a court judgment or publicly verifiable evidence.The accusations against the Asher family were even more complicated. Some citizens demanded the immediate return of the alleged stolen assets. Others asked which properties the president was referring to and why the evidence had remained hidden until now.That uncertainty mattered.The president had expected outrage, and he had certainly received it. But outrage wasn't the same as universal acceptance.Jason stood beside me in the study, reading through the latest reports."Christian has agreed to meet us tomorrow," he said. "His legal team is preparing the original documents.""Good. Have our lawyers prepare a complete record of the Asher family's property acquisitions, including the histor

Animals In A Barn

Amber POVJason and I didn't rush to the gates.The moment Mason informed us that a crowd had gathered outside the castle, I knew we couldn't ignore them. The president had made his accusations in front of an entire country, and allowing the rumors to spread without a response would only give his supporters more room to twist the truth. However, that didn't mean I intended to stand in front of a crowd and answer every question they shouted at me. If they wanted a response, they would receive one on my terms.Jason walked beside me as we crossed the courtyard. His hand rested lightly against my back, a quiet gesture of reassurance rather than an attempt to hurry me along. We had both been through too much recently, and neither of us was in any condition to deal with another manufactured crisis. Yet we had responsibilities, and neither of us intended to let the president dictate how we handled them."Are you sure about this?" Jason asked quietly as we approached the outer security check

The Ones Who Remain

Amber POVBy the time Jason and I returned to the castle, I had nothing left to give.Not to the world, not to the people who had spent years making decisions about my life, and certainly not to the endless stream of problems that seemed determined to follow me wherever I went.For once, I wanted silence.I wanted a locked door, a warm bed, and the certainty that when I closed my eyes, no one would take anything else from me.Jason seemed to understand without my having to say a word.He held my hand as we walked through the castle, his thumb brushing slowly over my knuckles. Neither of us spoke. There was no need. We had spent so many hours fighting, planning, confronting enemies, and trying to protect everyone around us that the quiet between us felt almost sacred.When we finally reached our bedroom, I barely had the energy to remove my shoes.Jason closed the door behind us, and I turned toward him.For a moment, we simply looked at each other.Then I stepped into his arms.He cau

Willing To Talk

Amber POV Morning arrived far too soon. I was somewhere between sleep and consciousness when my phone began vibrating on the bedside table. I groaned and pulled the blanket over my head. The phone continued ringing. Whoever was calling had apparently decided that my peaceful morning was a personal insult. With considerable reluctance, I reached for it and answered without looking at the screen. "Someone had better be dying." There was a brief silence. Then a familiar voice replied, "Good morning to you too, Miss Asher." I opened one eye. "Mr. Stait?" "No. This is the queen of England. I am calling to discuss your attitude." I stared at the phone. Then I sighed. "You're enjoying this." "Immensely." I pushed myself upright, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Mr. Stait, if this call isn't important, I will personally make sure you spend the rest of your career answering telemarketing calls." His amusement faded. "It is important." Something in his voice made me straigh
