Chapter 71: Harlan’s Heart Attack

POV: Adrian"Sit down," I said when Meghan walked in, an envelope pressed against her coat.I had been standing by the window for forty minutes, trying to work out how to tell her. I still hadn't found the words.She sat on the edge of the couch. I stayed standing because I didn't trust my legs."After you left, I went back into the boardroom," I said. "The meeting kept going. Dad wouldn't let anyone leave. He was telling them what to say to the press when he stopped in the middle of a sentence. He put his hand on the table and said he felt strange."Meghan's expression changed."He stood up to close the meeting, and he fell. Two of them tried to catch him. Somebody called an ambulance, and I rode with him. Vivienne came too. I left her at the hospital because I couldn't explain all this over the phone."I paused."He's alive.

Chapter 72: The Vote

POV: AdrianThe room went quiet after Julian called for the vote. I was the only one still standing."That's a serious thing to say about your brother," one of the older members said."It's a serious time," Julian replied.

The first page was a security report from the Atlas building."Last night, Adrian entered a sealed construction site under legal hold," Julian said.

Chapter 73: The Name

Meghan’s POVAdrian came through the door so fast it bounced off the wall.He stopped at the foot of the bed. His father's eyes were open, but heavy, and one hand lay on top of the blanket with a thin tube taped to the back of it."Dad.""Adrian." Harlan's voice was almost nothing, a dry scrape. "Come closer."Adrian pulled the chair to the bed and sat. I stayed by the window, where I'd been for an hour, listening to the monitor count."I want to talk to my son alone," Harlan said. He didn't look at me, and I didn't take it personally. "Please.""Of course."I went out and stood in the corridor with my back against the wall. Through the narrow glass I could see Adrian's shoulders, and his father's mouth moving. I couldn't hear a word. I watched Adrian's head drop, then lift, then drop again.It was less than ten minutes. When the door opened, Adrian's face was gray."He wants you to come in," he said."Adrian, if it's private… ""He asked for you." He swallowed. "He said you're the on
