NoraMy phone vibrated across the dining table.I looked at the screen before reaching for it.Bernard.I answered the call."Good morning.""I've just received the laboratory report." His voice remained steady. "I've sent it to your email."My fingers tightened around the phone."The results are back?""They are."I pushed my chair back and walked toward my study.The laptop sat where I had left it the night before.I opened it and signed into my email.A new message appeared at the top of my inbox.DNA Analysis Report"I'll stay on the line," Bernard said.I clicked the attachment.The laboratory logo filled the first page, below it were the sample numbers.One belonged to the strand of hair I had found hidden inside my mother's small leather pouch.The second belonged to the reference sample Bernard had submitted.I scrolled slowly.The words came into view one line at a time.Probability of Identity: 99.99%My hand stopped on the touchpad.I read the final paragraph again, then a

Morning arrived beneath a sky covered by low gray clouds.Three police vehicles turned into the driveway of the Vance residence before stopping one behind the other.The engines fell silent.The lead detective stepped out first. Two uniformed officers followed, while another remained beside the final vehicle.The detective walked toward the front door with an arrest warrant in his hand.He raised his knuckles to knock.Before they reached the wood, the door opened.Vivienne stood on the other side.She wore a cream blouse beneath a dark cardigan. Her hair had been gathered neatly behind her head, and one hand still rested on the doorknob.Her eyes moved from the detective to the officers waiting behind him."Mrs. Vivienne Vance?"

He unfolded the warrant and held it where she could read it. "I have a warrant for your arrest."Vivienne l

Gregory sat alone at the far end of Beaumont Group's boardroom.The folders prepared for the emergency meeting remained unopened before him.Around the table, directors avoided his eyes.The senior director cleared his throat."Before we proceed, I'd like to know whether the motion still has enough support to move forward."No one answered immediately.One director adjusted his glasses.Another closed the report in front of him.Finally, Director Hayes looked across the table."I've changed my vote."Gregory didn't move.Hayes folded his hands together."I support Ms. Vance."Another director nodded."So do I."A third voice followed."My position has changed as well."One by one, directors who had privately backed Gregory withdrew their support.The senior director made several notes before looking up."It appears the motion no longer has sufficient votes."He closed the file."The emergency vote will not proceed."The meeting had ended before it truly began.Gregory rested both hand

The courthouse steps filled with people before sunrise.News vans lined both sides of the street.Television cameras pointed toward the main entrance as reporters gathered behind the security barriers.Police vehicles arrived one after another.Gregory Beaumont stepped out of the first vehicle.Two officers walked beside him as they led him through the entrance.Camera shutters followed every step.A second vehicle stopped moments later.Vivienne Vance climbed out.She kept her eyes ahead while another pair of officers escorted her inside.Neither of them looked toward the reporters.Inside the courtroom, the gallery filled quickly.The clerk stood and opened the proceedings.The judge entered.Everyone rose before taking their seats again.Gregory stood first.The prosecutor remained beside the bench with a file open in his hands."The State charges Gregory Beaumont with conspiracy to commit murder, obstruction of justice, criminal conspiracy, and evidence tampering."Gregory stood

Several months have passed.Beaumont Group continued to grow under Nora's leadership.The uncertainty surrounding the company had disappeared.Employees returned to their work without wondering what tomorrow would bring.Gregory Beaumont had been convicted.Vivienne Vance was serving her sentence and Celeste disappeared from public life.Edmund visited Beatrice's grave every week.Fresh flowers always rested beneath her name before he left.He never missed a visit.Alexander recovered completely.Before returning overseas to expand his company, he visited the Sinclair home one last time.Charlie walked him to the front gate and Nora stood beside them.Alexander looked from one to the other."I think you'll be all right."Charlie smiled."We will."Alexander turned to Nora.He held out his hand and smiled.
