LIAM I read Collin's message twice before the words fully registered in my head.“Sir... I think someone is watching Mrs. Kingsley.”I eased myself out of bed carefully.She shifted slightly, muttering softly before going back to sleep. I made sure she was still deeply asleep before stepping out of the room and walking into the study.My hands weren't quite steady as I dialed Collin's number. He picked up on the first ring, like he had been expecting my call."Sir.""Explain," I said, keeping my voice controlled, even though everything inside of me had lost its control. "At the gala last night," Collin said carefully, "there was a man near the entrance. Unfamiliar face to the press, with no credentials visible.”He paused to make sure I was still with him.“Go on,” I ordered. “He had a camera, and I noticed him photographing you and Mrs. Kingsley specifically, not the room in general, just the two of you.""Paparazzi photograph everyone at these events," I added calmly. "That's wh

ELIZABETH I sat at my desk with a folder spread open before me. It was old photographs and records of Liam I had my investigator quietly gather over the past few days, and all of them all went back to the same name.Lillian.I studied a photograph of her and Liam together; they were young, barely into their twenties. Even the way he looked at her back then was tender, a version of Liam I have never seen — cracked open, unguarded. Unlike the cold, calculating man he had become.I flipped through the accompanying reports my investigator had compiled. The relationship had ended badly, almost publicly and humiliatingly. Liam's grandfather had tried his best then to make sure the press didn't escalate the issue. From what I could piece together. Lillian had left him for someone with more money, more status, at a time when Liam had nothing and was still trying to prove himself worthy of the Kingsley name.He never fully recovered from it. That much was obvious in every account I'd gathere

NORAI had just returned from one of the departmental heads' offices when I noticed a plain white envelope tucked beside my door. I reached for it slowly and opened it.It wasn't a photograph, just a single message in block letters.*Ask yourself why you were really left at Fairmount Orphanage.*I felt my hands trembling on my second attempt to read the words, which somehow refused to make sense to me, no matter how many times I stared at them."Nora," Liam's voice came from outside the door.I quickly shoved the paper beneath a stack of files on instinct before he walked in.My heart hammered against my ribs.I forced a natural expression the moment he stepped in fully. "Liam, hi."He paused mid-step. Oh shit. I just messed up. I had never greeted Liam hi, even when we were formal couples. “Hi?”He studied me with a sharpened gaze, the way he always did when something didn't sit right with him. "You look pale.""I'm fine." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ears."But you are s

I stared at my computer reading the same paragraph for the fifth time, but I couldn't absorb a single word of it.The photograph has been on my mind all week. Today, I told myself I wasn't going to think about it again.But I didn't even last up to another ten minutes before I picked it up again.I pulled it out from the drawer and studied it under the desk lamp, tilting it slightly to catch a better view, but it was the same thing. The orphanage gate, the crooked sign— no changes.I was about to place it down out of frustration when something caught my eye. Near the entrance of the orphanage gate, I saw something I hadn't noticed before.A woman.She stood slightly off to the side, close to the gate, her face only partially visible—she did not face the camera. It was like an unaware picture.I raised the photograph closer to my eyes, trying to make out more details through the slightly blurred quality of the image, but I didn't recognize her. Yet, something about the shape of her f

SOPHIA Luckily, Reyes managed to convince one of the nurses who worked directly with Dr Callahan to see me.I arrived at the small café she had chosen, tucked away on a side street far from Blackthorne Medical Center's usual foot traffic. She refused to give us her name.She was already seated when I walked in, a cup of tea untouched in front of her. She was scanning the room nervously before settling on me."Mrs. Hart." She kept her voice low as I sat across from her. "You are two minutes late, I almost changed my mind.”"I am sorry, and thank you for agreeing to meet me." I folded my hands in my lap, keeping my own voice equally quiet. "I know this isn't easy for you.""It isn't." She glanced toward the door before continuing. "But I have carried this long enough.""Tell me what you remember about Dr. Callahan," I said carefully. "Twenty-three years ago."She was quiet for a moment, as she wrapped her trembling fingers tightly around the teacup as if it might steady her."He handl
