He had been reviewing the records again, not the surface-level accounts the council relied on, but the older ones, the ones rarely referenced, because they were incomplete, fragmented, difficult to interpret. And yet, something in them matched what he had seen. Not directly. But enough. References to anomalies, to individuals who did not align with established structures, to events that disrupted the balance of the pack in ways that were not fully understood, and more importantly, to something described not as power, but as inheritance. That word stood out. Inheritance implied origin. Lineage. Connection. And if that was true— Then this was not random. It was something that had been carried

I smothered a hand over my hair and turned my attention to him. “As you know, it's not going to be easy as it happens to be a heritage property. The current CEO will want his offspring to inherit the bank also...” “Can you just go straight to the point already. Amad interrupted me. We know it's a heritage property.” “Amad let her speak for heavens sake." God knows I hate this Amad of a human. I swallowed nothing and continued speaking. “You can't legally take claim of the bank, it's going to be freaking hard and there's a possibility you might not succeeded even with your massive wealth."

"Darling, what would happen if an eagle lived in the midst of chickens?" "The eagle, I suppose, would begin to act like a chicken," I say easily. "Good thing you're smart. You see," her voice rises, sharp and direct, "In our world, dear, heritage isn’t something you build, it’s something you preserve. We invest wisely—in business, in alliances, and yes, in marriage. Surely you don’t imagine this little... arrangement with my son could ever become anything lasting?" There's no trace of emotion in her features, just dark green eyes boring into my soul and an air that’s convinced me she would shred me into pieces if I dare go against her will.

I say, seeing which papers that idiot was looking at. "I'm not a peeper". Speaks sitting in the chair facing my desk. "I just don't understand why you feel so much hatred for him". "Don't you understand?" I ask louder, not believing what I had just heard. "You are the daughter and heiress of businessmen, fairy tales don't exist for any of us". She answers seriously. "You should be happy because he's young, he's hot, and you have an overwhelming chemistry. I'm still recovering from what I saw". She says, shaking herself with a smile.

Selene studied her cup of tea. "You’re really good at this." "I've had a fair amount of practice," Dr. Ruth replied with a gentle smile. "I've been having versions of this same conversation for thirty years. How do I embrace what's new without betraying what's lost. That’s always the question." "And the answer is," Selene murmured. "You don't betray it. You carry it forward. That's what you're already doing." She shared the conversation with Avalon that evening over dinner. "Dr. Ruth said the name is an inheritance, not a weight," she said.

She went to her window. She looked at the Heritage Hotel through the glass — the building that had been designed in a wilderness house and constructed from drawings kept in a wooden box and opened to the world on a spring morning with a dedication that named four generations of a family that had been broken and restored and broken again and restored again. She thought about two men in a lobby. One who had built the building. One who had tried to prevent everything the building represented. Standing in front of a dedication wall together. She did not know what had been said.

‘I guess you are flattering me Sir,’ Ima said yieldingly. ‘You should know that am not the type of men who shower flatteries anyhow, I call the truth as it is. The old woman, May her soul continue resting in peace, wasn’t wrong when she named you the sole heir to her empire. She saw what thousands failed to spot in you and am sure wherever she is, she is very proud of you.’

I was getting a sinking suspicion about what Havenstone considered 'crucial' for job performance and it didn't have anything to do with what alumni we were now part of. Here I was with my Father's dark good looks, my genetics an ancient blend of Bulgarian and Turkish with a recent addition of Irish Gaelic. My eyes, the legacy of my Mom, were a deep emerald green. The broad shoulders, narrow waist and powerful arms and legs were part heritage with a serious application of physical activity. I exercised constantly, swam whenever I could and cycling was my religion; the tougher the terrain, the better.
