The room went silent.Kennedy looked toward her again. "It felt so real."Shannon swallowed. "It wasn't a nightmare."Kennedy stared.She tightened her fingers around his. "She's outside."Nothing moved on Kennedy's face then slowly he shook his head. "No.""Dad.""No.""She's outside.""Shannon...""I saw her."Kennedy's breathing changed. "No."Shannon nodded. "She's sitting right outside this room."He stared at her. The color seemed to disappear from his face all over again. "How?""I don't know.""No." Kennedy looked toward the door then back at Shannon. "That's impossible.""I know.""Amelia died, I went to the hospital.""I know, Dad.""They told me..." His voice cracked. Kennedy stopped.Shannon's chest tightened. For the first time since discovering Kennedy was her father, she saw something in him she'd never really seen before. Fear.Kennedy looked toward the door again. "What if someone sent her?"Shannon frowned. "To mess with us?""Edward..." He stopped. His expression ch

Kennedy was discharged shortly after three that afternoon. The doctors had wanted to keep him longer but Kennedy had disagreed, then he'd disagreed more strongly. By the time the doctor finally signed the discharge papers, Shannon had already realized there was absolutely no point arguing with a man who had apparently decided collapsing once was enough medical drama for the decade.The drive home was quiet. Shannon sat beside him in the back seat, occasionally glancing over. Kennedy spent most of the journey looking through the window. He hadn't mentioned Amelia, not once. Not when they left the hospital, not when Shannon asked whether he wanted anything before they went home, not even when she'd carefully asked if there was somewhere Amelia could stay until they figured everything out.Kennedy had only said, "She's an adult."That had been the end of it.Shannon hadn't tried again but she could see it. His face was composed, his voice was normal, he even answered two business calls

Morning came quietly. Kennedy had already been awake for almost an hour when one of the maids approached him near the entrance hall. "Chairman."He looked up from the document in his hand. "Yes?"The maid hesitated.Kennedy noticed immediately. "What?""There's someone outside."His expression changed before she even said the name. "No."The maid swallowed. "Sir...""No." He folded the document. "I don't care who it is.""It's Mrs. Amelia."Kennedy's jaw tightened. "Then tell her to leave."The maid stood there. "Chairman...""Did you hear me?""Yes, sir." The maid nodded and hurried toward the entrance.Kennedy remained where he was. His entire body had gone rigid. Amelia again. Of course she had come back because why wouldn't she? Twenty seven years of silence and suddenly she couldn't stay away for twenty four hours.Kennedy gave a humorless laugh. Unbelievable.The maid returned several minutes later. "Sir..."Kennedy closed his eyes. "What now?""She won't leave."He slowly turne

Sean slowly looked toward Kennedy then Amelia, then Kennedy again. Of course, of fucking course.Kennedy noticed. "What?"Sean said nothing. His mind was already moving. The Voss family, international holdings, private capital, energy, infrastructure, technology, shipping, a family so private that most people outside the upper circles barely knew the extent of their wealth.Vale Group had attempted twice to secure cooperation with one of their overseas investment companies. Both times rejected. Not even negotiations, just polite refusals, and now Amelia Voss was sitting inside Kennedy Miles' house after Kennedy publicly threatened to dismantle Vale Group.This man didn't waste time."What are you doing here?"Kennedy's brows drew together. "It's my house.""I'm not talking about you."Sean looked toward Amelia. Everyone became still.Shannon immediately realized Sean didn't know. "Sean..."But he was already looking toward Kennedy again. "So this is what you're doing?"Kennedy stare

Sean watched Amelia disappear down the hallway. For once, he didn't make a joke, didn't smirk, didn't say something ridiculous about Kennedy's temper. His gaze turned on the closed study door.Shannon stood beside him, still looking worried.Sean quietly reached for her hand.She looked over.He squeezed once. "I'll check on him."Shannon's brows lifted. "You?""Yes.""Sean...""I know." He gave her a small smile. "No jokes, no arguing, no calling him Dad."That almost made her laugh. "You're capable of that?""Occasionally."She studied him then nodded. "Okay."Sean released her hand and headed toward the study. He knocked once no answer.He waited then knocked again.Kennedy's voice came from inside. "I said I wanted to be alone."Sean opened the door anyway.Kennedy looked over. His face immediately hardened. "Out."Sean closed the door behind himself. "Mr. Miles."That made Kennedy pause. No Dad, no smugness, no nonsense, just Mr. Miles. Kennedy watched him carefully. "I said out.
