The message remained in my hands long after the investigator finished explaining what they knew.THE DAUGHTER KNOWS TOO MUCH. MOVE THE HEIR BEFORE SHE FINDS ME.Someone had used my father’s name to threaten my son.I wanted to believe it was another forgery, another attempt to manipulate us into making a mistake. But after everything we had discovered inside the Kingsley vault, I could no longer dismiss any possibility.“Where is Cassandra?” I asked.The lead investigator glanced at his colleague before answering.“She has been transferred to a secure holding facility for questioning. Given the information she provided, we’re taking additional precautions.”“Does she know about the new message?”“Not yet.”“Then don’t tell her until you’ve established whether it came from someone connected to her network.”Adrian nodded in agreement.“We also need to know who knew about the raids before they happened. Someone moved money overnight, and someone attempted to access Leo’s birth records t

“Your father didn’t disappear because Richard wanted him dead. He disappeared because Edward knew what the final declaration would do to your family.”Cassandra’s words followed me long after the investigators escorted her from the room.I stood holding the sealed envelope against my chest, listening to the hurried voices outside as officers responded to the threat against Leo. My heart was pounding, but my hands had stopped shaking.Someone had threatened my son to prevent us from examining the declaration.Again.They had mistaken my love for Leo as a weakness they could exploit. They had mistaken my grief for my father as a way to control me. And they had mistaken the pain Adrian and I carried as an opportunity to turn us against each other.They were wrong.“Is Leo safe?” I asked as the lead investigator returned.“Lucas has confirmed that Leo is with him. Officers are on their way to provide additional protection. We have no evidence that anyone has approached the child, but we’r

The photograph of the hospital entrance burned into my mind.ONE BULLET WAS NEVER THE REAL PLAN.I stared at the message, my fingers trembling around my phone. Adrian was somewhere inside that hospital, fighting for his life, and whoever had sent those words knew exactly where he was.One bullet had already taken him from me.I refused to let another one finish the job.I called Mason.“Listen carefully,” I said the moment he answered. “Adrian has been taken to the trauma center. I received a threat with a photograph of the entrance. I need every security camera around that hospital checked. Nobody enters or leaves without being identified.”“Understood. I’ll contact the security team immediately.”“Not just the hospital. Check the surrounding streets, parking garages, delivery entrances, and emergency access routes. Whoever sent this message may already be there.”“I’ll handle it.”“And Mason?”“Yes?”“Find out who sent it. I want a name.”I ended the call and immediately contacted t

For six years, I had lived under a name that was never truly mine.Evelyn Stone.The woman who built Stone Capital from nothing. The woman who walked into boardrooms without flinching, negotiated with ruthless investors, and learned to sleep with one eye open. The woman who raised her son while the world mourned a death she had never suffered.Evelyn had kept me alive.But she had also become a hiding place.And I was tired of hiding.I stood before the mirror in Adrian’s hospital room, staring at my reflection. My eyes were exhausted, my hair was tied back carelessly, and the faint scar near my temple remained visible beneath the bright lights.Behind me, Adrian lay unconscious, fighting his way back from the gunshot wound he had taken for me.The investigation was advancing. Cassandra was in custody. Victor Lancaster was being pursued. The truth about the Black Swan explosion was finally reaching the public.Yet my name still felt like unfinished business.My phone rang.Mason.“The

The first thing Adrian did when he woke up was ask for me.I was standing outside the intensive care unit when Lucas rushed toward me, his expression caught somewhere between exhaustion and disbelief.“Aurora,” he said, “he’s awake.”For a moment, I couldn’t move.“What?”“Adrian is conscious. The doctors are with him now.”My hand flew to my mouth. Tears blurred my vision as I gripped Lucas’s arm.“Is he going to be all right?”“He’s still weak. The doctors need to monitor him carefully, but he’s responding.”I closed my eyes and whispered a prayer of gratitude.Then Lucas gave me a tired smile.“He asked for you twice.”My heart ached.For weeks, I had told myself that I could survive whatever happened between Adrian and me. I could raise Leo alone. I could build my company, expose the conspiracy, and walk away from the Kingsley name if I needed to.But the possibility of losing Adrian had revealed a truth I had been afraid to acknowledge.I still cared about him.That didn’t mean I
