Chapter Thirty-One:

Sebastian’s POV“Don’t call him.”Aurora’s thumb stops over Raymond Sinclair’s name, but only for a second. Then she looks at me, not startled. Not ashamed. Just tired of being told what to do by men who think urgency gives them rights. “You don’t get to decide that,” she says.“No. But I get to tell you it’s a bad idea.”“We’re collecting those tonight.”Lucas keeps driving. Smart man. He knows when silence is the only useful thing he can offer.Aurora turns her phone in her hand and stares at the name on the screen again. Her father. The man who may know something. The man who may know too much. The man who may have spent years saying nothing while his house turned into a waiting room for a war he never admitted was happening.If she calls him now, whoever is moving ahead of us gets warned.If she doesn’t, the silence between them becomes one more wound added to a night already full of them. I understand why she hates both options. “He tried to open the box once,” I say. “That means

Chapter Thirty-Two:

Aurora's POV"She stopped sending the cards when I was twelve."Sebastian turns his head. He does not ask the question out loud. He does not need to. "I never asked why," I say. "I was twelve. I didn't care about Christmas cards to people I'd never met."The car slows as Lucas pulls onto a narrow side road that curves around the back of the hospital. The main building glows white and modern ahead, but the annex behind it is darker. Older. The kind of structure hospitals keep because demolition costs more than forgetting."Do you remember what she wrote?" Sebastian asks."No."Not entirely true.I remember the handwriting. Careful. Slanted. Always in blue ink. I remember watching my mother seal those envelopes like she was closing something important inside. I remember asking once who Marian was.She smiled and said, *"Someone who helped me when I needed it most."*That answer meant nothing then.It means too much now.Lucas parks near a service entrance. No lights. No cameras I can se

Chapter Thirty-Three:

Aurora's POV"How many?"Sebastian asks it without turning around.Lucas is already at the end of the hallway, one hand pressed flat against the wall like he is listening to the building breathe. He holds up two fingers first. Then a third.Three people. Maybe more, not police. Police announce themselves. This is something quieter. "Side corridor," Lucas says. "Thirty seconds if we move now."Sebastian's grip shifts on my arm. Not tighter. Just ready, I pull free. He looks at me. "I can run," I say.He does not argue.Good.We move fast. Lucas first, then I, then Sebastian at my back like a wall I did not ask for but was too tired to refuse. The hallway splits ahead. The left leads deeper into the annexe. The right curves toward what looks like an old service exit.Lucas goes right.I follow.Behind us, the footsteps get louder. Not running. Walking. Controlled. The kind of pace that says they know we are here and do not feel the need to rush.That should scare me.It doesn't.I am to

Chapter Thirty-Four:

Aurora's POV"Which one am I?" The words leave my mouth before I decide to say them.Sebastian does not answer; he cannot. I am staring at the photograph like it might change if I look long enough. Two infants. Two bracelets. Two letters that mean nothing and everything at the same time.A.B.One saved. One lost.My mother's handwriting on the back is steady. Too steady for a woman writing about the worst choice of her life.Forgive me. I could only save one. I flip the photo over again. The infants look the same. Small. Soft. Impossible to tell apart in the grainy hospital light. Which one lived? Which one was hidden? Which one am I?"Aurora."Sebastian's voice pulls me back.I look up.His face is difficult to read in the dark. Not blank. Just be careful. Like he knows whatever he says next could break something neither of us can fix."We need to move," he says. "I know." I do not move.Lucas is already near the car, one hand on the door, scanning the shadows like he expects more p

Chapter Thirty-Five:

Aurora's POV"Megan doesn't know anything," I say out loud, but I do not believe it.Sebastian watches me for a second too long. He knows I do not believe it either.The car is quieter now. Lucas has lost the trail, or thinks he has, and we are moving through a part of the city I do not recognize. Narrow streets. Closed shops. The kind of neighborhood that exists between places people actually go."She's been in that house since I was twelve," I say. "If she knew something, she would have used it by now.""Would she?"I look at him."Megan uses everything," I say. "That's who she is." "Maybe," Sebastian shifts slightly. "Or maybe she's been told to wait. " That lands harder than I want it to.Because Megan has always been patient when it mattered. Not kind. Not generous. Just be patient. The kind of patience that watches and waits and files things away until the right moment. I always thought it was ambition. Maybe it was instruction."Victoria raised her," I say slowly. "Yes." "And V

Chapter Thirty-Six:

Aurora's POV"Answer me."Megan does not move. Her hands are still in her lap. Her face is still blank. But something behind her eyes has shifted. Something that looks less like control and more like the edge of a fall."Who is your father, Megan?"She laughs once.It sounds wrong. Hollow. Like she rehearsed it years ago and forgot what it was supposed to mean. "You really don't know," she says. "No." "And the messenger didn't tell you?""They told me to ask you." That lands somewhere. I see it move through her face before she catches it. "Of course they did," she says quietly. "They always make someone else do the hard part."I wait.She looks at the box in my hands instead of at me."My mother told me when I was sixteen," she says. "I didn't believe her at first. I thought she was lying to make me feel special. To make me feel like I belonged somewhere bigger than this house."My grip tightens on the metal."And then I saw the documents," Megan continues. "Victoria keeps everything.

Chapter Thirty-Seven:

Sebastian's POV"She's been inside too long."Lucas does not respond immediately. He checks his watch, then the house, then me. "Twenty-three minutes," he says. Seven minutes left before I go in anyway.I do not like waiting. I do not like sitting in a parked car while Aurora walks into a house full of people who have spent years lying to her face. But she asked to do this alone, and I am learning, slowly, that Aurora Sinclair does not ask for things unless she means them.So I wait.My phone buzzes: unknown number. I open it before I decide whether I want to. The birth certificate changes everything. Ask Aurora whose name was on it. I read the message twice.Birth certificate.That means Aurora found something inside. Something with a name. Something important enough for the messenger to reach out before she even leaves the house. I do not respond; I never respond, but I save the message.Lucas shifts in his seat. "Sir." "What?" "Movement at the front door. I look up.Aurora is stepp

Chapter Thirty-Eight:

Aurora's POV"Pull over." Lucas glances at Sebastian first.Sebastian looks at me."Aurora." "Pull over."The car slows. I do not wait for it to stop completely. I open the door the second the tires hit the curb and step out into the cold night air like the car itself was suffocating me.It was.Nadia. My best friend. The one person I trusted without question, placed. I walk a few steps away from the car and stop. My hands are shaking. Not from the cold. From something worse.Fifteen years of sleepovers and late-night calls and moments where I thought she was the only person in the world who actually saw me, and all of it might have been a lie. I hear Sebastian's door open behind me. "Don't," I say without turning around. He stops. Good.I need one minute where no one is telling me what to think. The street is empty. A few streetlights. A closed shop on the corner. The kind of quiet that feels accidental, like the city forgot this block existed. I pull out my phone.Nadia's name is ri

Chapter Thirty-Nine:

Aurora's POV"You can't just show up at her door."Sebastian says it like he already knows I am not going to listen. He is right. "Watch me."Lucas is already driving toward Nadia's apartment. I gave him the address before Sebastian could argue. Now we are three blocks away, and I can feel the tension in the car like a living thing."If she's been placed," Sebastian says, "then she's been trained to deflect. You walk in asking about a locket; she'll know something is wrong.""Good.""Aurora." "I said, 'Good.'" I turn to look at him. "I'm tired of everyone in my life knowing more than I do. If Nadia has answers, I want them. Tonight." He holds my gaze for a moment too long. Then he nods once, not in agreement, but in acceptance.The car stops outside Nadia's building. It is a small place. Three floors. Old brick. The kind of building that looks like it has survived every version of this city and will survive the next one too. I get out before Lucas can open the door.Sebastian follows.

Chapter Forty:

Aurora's POV"Find me for what?"Nadia's voice is too loud for the small room. I do not have an answer. The locket is still in my hand. The photograph. The word. My mother's handwriting on something that has been hanging around Nadia's neck for fifteen years, safe, one word, one child, not Nadia, but someone else."Aurora," Nadia grabs my arm. "What is happening?"I look at her, really look.She is terrified. Not the kind of fear that comes from being caught. The kind that comes from realizing you have been standing in the middle of something you never understood."Sit down," I say."No.""Nadia.""No." She pulls her arm back. "You show up here in the middle of the night. You ask about my grandmother. You make me open a locket. I have worn it since I was ten years old. And now you are looking at me like I am part of something terrible." Her voice cracks. "So no. I am not sitting down. I am standing right here until you tell me what the hell is going on."I deserve that. I sit down ins
