A week passed without incident.No threats.No mysterious messages.No kidnappings.For the first time in months, life felt... normal.Almost.Alexander was still busy running Kingston Holdings.Amelia was quickly becoming the most dependable executive assistant in the company.And every morning...Alexander placed a cup of coffee on her desk before starting his day.It became their quiet little routine.One morning, Victoria walked past them and smiled."I've officially stopped asking who the coffee is for."Amelia laughed."Is it that obvious?"Victoria raised an eyebrow."The CEO has never made coffee for anyone."Daniel, who had just arrived, added,"He doesn't even make coffee for himself."Alexander looked at both of them."You two seem very interested in my personal habits."Daniel shrugged."They're new."Everyone laughed.That afternoon...Amelia was organizing Alexander's schedule when her phone buzzed.It was a message from Noah.Are you free tonight?She smiled.After work

The atmosphere inside Kingston Holdings changed immediately.Daniel's announcement erased the calm mood from the office.Richard Sullivan was in New York.Not hiding behind foreign companies.Not operating from another continent.He was here.Close.Watching.Waiting.And no one knew what his first move would be.Alexander's office became an emergency meeting room within minutes.Daniel projected security reports onto a large screen.Victoria reviewed legal risks.Sophia joined through a video call.Amelia sat quietly beside Alexander.Listening.Observing.Trying to understand what Richard truly wanted."He didn't target company finances," Daniel explained."He targeted family records."Alexander frowned."Why?""No idea.""But he specifically searched documents related to Christopher Kingston, Adrian Blackwood, and William Kingston."Sophia crossed her arms on the screen."That means he isn't worried about money.""He wants information.""Or control."Alexander nodded."Richard neve

The night air turned cold.Richard Sullivan's final words echoed through the quiet garden."Olivia Kingston wasn't my first victim."No one spoke.Even the fountain seemed quieter.Alexander stared at the man in front of him.His voice was calm.Too calm."What did you just say?"Richard rested both hands on the silver handle of his cane."I said exactly what you heard."Amelia instinctively reached for Alexander's hand.She felt the tension in his fingers.He wasn't just angry.He was fighting every instinct telling him to attack the man standing before him.Alexander took a slow breath."If you're trying to provoke me..."Richard interrupted with a small smile."No.""I'm trying to tell you that you've been asking the wrong question for years."Alexander's eyes narrowed."What should I be asking?"Richard looked toward the fountain."You've always asked who killed Olivia."He paused."You should've asked why."A heavy silence settled between them.Amelia studied Richard carefully.H

The sun had not yet risen over New York.St. Matthew Medical Center was unusually quiet.The emergency wing remained under heavy police guard after the shooting at the Kingston Foundation Gala.Outside Room 712...Two officers stood watch.Daniel had personally requested additional security.If someone had tried to kill Richard Sullivan once...There was every reason to believe they would try again.Alexander stood outside the room, staring through the small window in the door.Richard lay unconscious.Machines monitored his heartbeat.His shoulder was heavily bandaged.The bullet had missed his heart by less than an inch.The doctor had called it a miracle.Alexander wasn't sure he believed in miracles anymore.Amelia quietly walked up beside him."You've been standing here for ten minutes.""I know.""You don't have to go in alone."He looked at her."I've spent half my life wanting answers.""And now...""I'm afraid of what they might be."Amelia reached for his hand."Whatever the

Rain began falling just after sunset.Soft.Steady.The kind of rain that made New York glow beneath the streetlights.Inside Alexander's penthouse, the atmosphere was much quieter than it had been in days.The hidden compartment.The second key.Olivia's letter.The Black Raven Society.Everything had happened so quickly that neither Alexander nor Amelia had truly had time to breathe.For the first time since the gala...They were finally alone.Amelia stood in the kitchen, making two cups of tea.She wasn't thinking about recipes.Or work.Or schedules.She was thinking about Alexander.Ever since Richard revealed the truth about Olivia...Alexander had carried an invisible weight.He smiled.He spoke normally.But she knew him well enough to notice the difference.He was quieter.Lost in thought.She carried the tea into the living room.Alexander was standing by the windows, watching the rain."You've been staring outside for fifteen minutes."He smiled faintly."Has it been that
