Dominic Alexander Blackwood stood beside the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, staring at the city below.Richard's discovery continued to trouble him. Arabella's name had appeared in confidential records connected to his late wife, Eleanor. Someone was deliberately involving her in a mystery she knew nothing about.But there was something else Dominic couldn't forget.He had witnessed Alexander's betrayal long before Arabella discovered the truth.Months earlier, during a business reception at the Grand Royale Hotel, Dominic had watched his son arrive with Arabella.She looked beautiful in her evening dress, smiling as Alexander introduced her to several guests. She held his arm affectionately, completely unaware of what was happening behind her back."Your girlfriend seems happy tonight," Dominic remarked.Alexander glanced at Arabella before looking across the ballroom."She is. She wanted to come with me."Dominic followed his son's gaze and noticed Vanessa Claire standing n

The Blackwood mansion was unusually quiet that morning.Arabella Rose Montgomery stood near the floor-to-ceiling windows of Dominic's private study, holding a cup of coffee. From where she stood, she could see the beautiful gardens stretching across the property. Everything looked peaceful, almost perfect.But inside the mansion, nothing felt simple.She had been Dominic Blackwood's wife for only a short time, yet she was beginning to understand that marrying a powerful man meant becoming part of a world filled with expectations, responsibilities, and secrets."You're awake early."Dominic's deep voice interrupted her thoughts.Arabella turned and found him standing near the doorway. He wore a perfectly tailored black suit, his silver-streaked hair neatly combed. Even without trying, he carried the authority of someone accustomed to being obeyed."Good morning," she greeted with a small smile.Dominic approached her and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead."Did you sleep well?""Yes.

The photograph remained on Dominic's desk long after Arabella finished reading the message written on its back.For several minutes, neither of them spoke.Dominic stared at Eleanor's photograph, trying to understand why his late wife had been investigating Richard before her death. He had known Eleanor as a loving wife who rarely involved herself in company affairs. Yet the evidence suggested she had discovered something serious."Dominic," Arabella finally whispered, "what are you going to do?"He placed the photograph carefully on the desk."I need to find out what Eleanor knew. But first, I need to know who sent this.""Do you think Richard is responsible?""I don't know. I refuse to accuse my own brother without solid evidence."Arabella nodded."Then don't let anyone pressure you into making a decision before you know the truth."Dominic looked at her and offered a faint smile."That's why I need you beside me."Before she could answer, his phone rang.It was Richard.Dominic an

Dominic stared at the threatening message on his phone, his expression growing darker with every passing second.Arabella stood beside him, waiting for an explanation."Who would send something like that?" she asked."I don't know yet, but whoever it is clearly knows about Eleanor's death.""Do you think Vanessa is involved?"Dominic slipped his phone into his pocket."She's hiding something. I intend to find out what."Arabella reached for his hand."Then promise me we won't keep secrets from each other."Dominic looked into her eyes."I promise, sweetheart. Whatever we discover, we'll face it together."He kissed her forehead before calling his security director again."Find out everything about Vanessa Claire. Her connections, financial records, and every visit she made to this mansion. I want a complete report.""Understood, sir."After ending the call, Dominic returned his attention to his wife."There's something else I need to discuss with you.""What is it?""I want you to hav
