I stood frozen, holding the necklace in both hands."What do you mean?"Mia gave a soft laugh."Before I married into the family, of course I had to keep you happy."She casually took the necklace out of my hands."Everyone knows Oliver treats you like his own sister. If I upset you and you threw a fit, there's no telling whether all those generous gifts would have made it to the Nolan family."But it's different now. I'm Oliver's wife."Of the 13 docks and 72 crews, which one doesn't Oliver run? The managers listen to him, and when something goes wrong, they go to him. You're just an orphan the Don picked up."As she spoke, she took a black envelope from my desk.Inside were the keys to the family's safe house network, the informant list, and the keys to the offshore accounts."I'll hold on to this for now."I reached out to stop her, but she dodged."What gives you the right?"She braced both hands on the desk and looked at me."Then tell me this: How much money went through that sea

Mia thought she'd already won.The next day, she sent people to headquarters to collect the safe house network keys, the offshore account keys, and the informant list, saying she'd keep them safe for me.The butler didn't dare cross her, but behind her back, he quietly brought everything to me.I barely glanced at them. "Give them to her."The butler panicked. "Princess, these are family secrets."I shook my head. "Give her the fake set. And make sure you tell her that if anything goes wrong, Oliver takes full responsibility."The butler was taken aback for a second, then said, "Understood."The fake set had been prepared in advance to protect the real secrets.Now it was finally coming in handy.That afternoon, Mia sent people to clear out my east-side villa. She said it got plenty of sun and would be perfect for the baby once she and Oliver had one.I watched the servants carry box after box out of the villa. By then, I barely felt anything.Their greed only made it easier for me to

Mia was the first to lose her composure."What's there to go through? Oliver has been in charge for ten years. When has anything ever gone wrong?"I nodded."So first, we'll give him credit for his work. Then we'll settle accounts with you both for what you've done these past few days."Oliver looked up at me and straightened his back."Sofia, my conscience is clear.""Good."I had Augie open last year's master ledger.Credit where it was due: Oliver had never cooked the books.Last year, the family's net profit was ten percent higher than the year before.He was the one who'd secured the Balkan arms supply line. He'd cleaned up after the shooting at the port, and he'd settled a few old business debts himself.I closed the first volume."Oliver served the family well. By the rules, he gets every cent of his share and his year-end bonus."Mia seized on that."You hear that? The Norman family makes this kind of money because of Oliver, doesn't it?"I looked at her."And?"That shut her u

Three days later, Oliver came to see me alone.This time, Mia didn't come with him.He didn't bring a contract or a ledger.He just sat across from me and didn't say anything for a long time.In the end, I was the one who spoke first."What do you want to ask?"Oliver stared at the golden lion seal on the table, his voice quiet and uncertain."So what was I, all those ten years?"That caught me off guard for a second."You were the Norman family's advisor."He gave a crooked, bitter smile."The one-year-at-a-time kind?""Right."Oliver closed his eyes."But back then, the Don told me flat out that it was just a ceremony I had to go through with you every year."I thought about it and remembered what the Don had said."He wasn't wrong."Oliver looked up."What do you mean?""For me, it really was just a ceremony."Because I wanted you as my advisor every year for ten years."He froze.I slid the old records across the table to him. Augie had brought them over.Every year after the annua
