Nathaniel's Pov My father called me into his office Friday afternoon and when I walked in he was sitting with his estate lawyer which meant this meeting was about succession planning. "Sit down," my father said. I sat. "We need to discuss the future of Harrow Industries," he continued. "Specifically what happens when I am no longer running the company." "You are seventy two. You could run this company for another twenty years."

Nathaniel's Pov The federal auditors showed up Tuesday morning without warning and when my assistant told me they were in the lobby with badges and subpoenas I knew someone had leaked documents. "How many auditors?" I asked. "Six. Plus two FBI agents." "FBI?" "They said they are investigating potential fraud related to the south site collapse." I called my father immed

Evangeline’s Pov The cramping started Thursday morning while I was in a board meeting and at first I thought it was just normal pregnancy discomfort but then I felt something warm and wet and I knew immediately that something was wrong. I excused myself and went to the bathroom and when I saw the blood I felt my stomach drop. Too much blood. I called Dr. Mitchell. "I am bleeding," I said when she answered. "How much?" "A lot.

They also have evidence suggesting she accessed and possibly tampered with company records." "That is not enoug

Evangeline’s PovMarcus called me Thursday morning before I was fully awake and his voice had that tight controlled quality it got when things were very bad."We have a serious problem," he said."What?""I have a source inside the FBI field office. He told me last night that the investigators are building two cases simultaneously. One against Victor for the south site fraud. One against you for conspiracy.""I already know about the arrest warrant.""There is more. My source says the lead prosecutor is not actually interested in convicting you. He wants to use the threat of prosecution to pressure you into testifying against Victor. They think if they arrest you and offer you a deal then you will flip on the whole family.""So I am a tool. Not a target.""Yes. But being a tool does not mean you will not end up in prison if you do not cooperate. If you refuse to testify they will prosecute you for real and they have enough to make it stick even without the strongest evidence.""What d
