Summer's POVThe morning was a painful quiet. I just couldn’t get the look on Mattias’s face when he answered that phone call out of my mind. It was more than a shock. It was ecstasy. "Somebody's important enough to get him to leave without a word. He forgot breakfast, the one meal he had actually praised in weeks. I silenced the dining table. Mrs. Hambert and Elena had returned to the living room, talking cheerfully, as if nothing had happened that was out of the ordinary. But I was still busy and alone. Around noon, the mansion heard the sound of a car pulling into the driveway. I wiped my hands on my apron and rushed to the door. 'Mattias is home,' I grinned and whispered. Maybe he'd been called away on business. Maybe I was doing too much. I opened the front door. Slowly, my smile died. Mattias climbed out of the driver’s seat. He circled the car and slid open the passenger door. A pretty lady came out with a graceful step. Her dress was cream, her heels designer and her jewell

CHAPTER FORTY-THREETHE THING I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HEARSUMMER'S POVI barely slept that night.Nora's words kept replaying in my mind.Summer can't know.What exactly couldn't I know?I turned over in bed several times, staring at the ceiling.Maybe I had misunderstood her.Perhaps they had been discussing something about the family business.Maybe Nora had been referring to a surprise.There were countless possibilities.But why did my heart tell me otherwise?By morning, I had made up my mind.I wouldn't confront her.Not yet.I needed to know what was happening before I accused anyone.I dressed quietly and went downstairs.Nora was already in the kitchen."Good morning, Summer."She smiled brightly."Good morning."She was preparing breakfast."You don't have to do that," I said."I know, but I wanted to."She turned toward me."Did you sleep well?""Yes."The lie came out easily.She studied my face for a moment."You look tired.""I was just thinking.""About what?""Nothing im

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE THE OLD PICTURE SUMMER'S POINT OF VIEW I waited until the house was quiet all over before leaving my room. My heart was racing as I walked down the hall. Everything sounded louder than it should have. The message I didn’t know kept coming to me. Take a look at the old photograph in Mattias’s study. Why does a photograph matter? And why would someone who knew about Nora tell me to go look for it?" I went to the stairway and walked down carefully. The lights in the hall were dim. I looked around and then headed for Mattias's study. The door was half open. I stopped dead. Had anyone left it like that? I pried it open. It was dark in the room. I switched on the small lamp on the desk. Nothing looked any different than it always did. Books. Papers. A computer with a laptop. Some pictures in frames. I started to look. I looked at the shelves first. Nothing. Then I looked in the back of the books. Still nada. I was beginning to think the message had been a trick. I wal

CHAPTER 48 THE WOMAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH SUMMER POV I looked at the address on my phone for a few minutes. I knew I should not go. The message was clear. Come by yourself. Tell Mattias nothing. It sounded dangerous in everything. But I required answers. I couldn't stay in a house where everyone seemed to know something but me. I put my phone in my bag and left the mansion quietly. I told the housekeeper I was going out for a short while. I didn't tell her where I was headed. The address led me to a quiet cafe, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I went inside and took a look around. Some people were sitting at different tables. Then I saw a woman sitting alone in the corner. She was in a dark jacket and sunglasses. She lifted her hand when she saw me. Summer? I approached warily. "Yes." "Sit down." I slid the chair opposite her. "Who're you?" She took off her sunglasses. “Grace,” I said. I scowled. "Why did you want me to come here?" She looked around before replying. "

CHAPTER FORTY-NINESUMMER’S POVMattias stood still, staring at me without saying a word.I could feel my heart pounding against my chest.I had asked him a simple question, yet his silence made everything feel worse.“Is Nora carrying your child?” I asked again.His jaw tightened.“Summer, this isn't the right time.”I laughed bitterly.“Then when is the right time, Mattias?”He looked away.I waited for him to deny it.He didn't.That was enough to break something inside me.“So it's true?”“Nora is pregnant,” he finally said.My eyes filled with tears.“And you're the father?”He remained silent.I nodded slowly.“Congratulations.”I turned away before he could see me cry.I couldn't tell him about my pregnancy anymore.Not now.Not after seeing how happy he was about Nora's baby.I placed my hand over my stomach.My little secret.My baby.The child everyone had called impossible.I had spent months believing that the day I became pregnant would be the happiest day of my life.Ins
