Chapter 141: The People We TrustBrian"I think Sam is a spy."Maya stopped eating."Sam?" She stared at me, clearly expecting me to take the words back. "How do you know?""From a spy report."Her expression changed immediately. She put down her fork and leaned forward, giving me her full attention."What kind of report?""One that raised questions about information leaks and suspicious movements. I'm still investigating the details, but Sam's name has come up.""Have you confirmed it?""No.""Then what are you going to do about it?"I studied her for a moment. I appreciated that she wasn't panicking or immediately condemning someone simply because I had mentioned his name. Sam had worked with me for years, and despite my suspicions, I wasn't prepared to accuse him without evidence."I intend to find out everything I need to know.""And how do you plan to do that?""That's the problem. Most of the answers I need are locked away because Sam has lost his memory."Maya frowned."He's lo

MayaI found Sam in the estate's leisure area, sitting alone on a stone bench beside the flower garden. He wasn't reading or using his phone. Instead, he stared at a cluster of white roses growing along the edge of the walkway, his expression distant, as though he were trying to remember something the flowers had stirred inside him.I had been told his memory loss was extensive, but seeing him like that made the reality harder to ignore. Sam had spent years working alongside Brian, helping protect Silver Moon and managing responsibilities that demanded a sharp mind. Now, he struggled to recall parts of his own life. He didn't remember me, either, despite the times we had spoken before his memory disappeared. When I approached, he looked up politely, but there was no recognition in his eyes."Hello," I said, taking the empty seat beside him. "Mind if I join you?""Not at all." His gaze returned to the roses. "They're beautiful, aren't they? I can't explain it, but something about them

MayaI had barely left the nursery when Brian intercepted me halfway down the upper-floor corridor.“Maya, wait.”I turned, clutching the folder of security reports against my chest. “What is it?”“Where are you going?”“To the study, Willow is staying with the children, but she asked me to check something with her before she leaves the nursery.”Brian glanced toward the staircase before returning his attention to me. “Are Roman and Ryan all right?”“They're fine. Willow has them under control, although I suspect she enjoys spoiling them more than she admits.”His expression softened briefly. “I'm glad she's here”“I trust Willow.” I told him“I know.” He paused, his gaze settling on my face. “But I was hoping we could talk.”“About the investigation?”“Amongst other things.”I narrowed my eyes. “That sounds suspiciously vague.”A faint smile tugged at his mouth. “Come with me, and I'll explain.”I should have asked him to explain right there. Instead, I followed him toward a small si

MayaI was in the nursery when Brian called.Roman was asleep in his crib, while Ryan sat on Willow's lap, playing with the edge of her sweater. I had been trying to enjoy the quiet moment with them when my phone vibrated.Brian's name appeared on the screen.I answered immediately. "Brian?""Come to my office." His voice was cold.I straightened. "Is something wrong?""Just come here, Maya."The call ended.I stared at my phone for a moment, wondering what had happened. Brian had been distant since our conversation, but he hadn't spoken to me like that before. Whatever was troubling him, I hoped we could finally talk about it."I need to see Brian," I told Willow.She glanced at me. "Do you want me to stay with the boys?""Please."I kissed Ryan's forehead and checked that Roman was still sleeping before leaving.When I reached Brian's office, the door was slightly open. I knocked before stepping inside.He stood behind his desk, looking through a document. He didn't acknowledge me i

MayaBy the following morning, I had made a decision. I wasn't going to argue with Brian again.There was no point trying to convince him that I hadn't deliberately come between him and his sister, or that leaving River Vale had never been about chasing another man. He had already decided what kind of woman I was, and yesterday's conversation had shown me how little my explanations mattered to him.I would stay for Roman and Ryan. I would take care of them, make sure they were safe, and avoid giving Brian another reason to accuse me of interfering in his family.That was all.I was feeding Ryan when Brian entered the nursery. He paused at the doorway, his gaze moving from me to the baby in my arms. I kept my attention on the bottle, checking that Ryan was drinking comfortably."Good morning," he said."Good morning."His eyes remained on me. "How are the boys?""Roman is still sleeping. Ryan woke up about twenty minutes ago."Brian approached the crib and looked down at his younger so
