TWO YEARS LATER Two years old feels heavier than it sounds. Diana knows this as she stands by the window, watching the backyard slowly fill with people she once thought would never live long enough to argue about tablecloths and cake flavors. Two years is not just candles and balloons. It is survival stacked on top of survival until it starts to look like a life. Atlas turns two today.

Cynthia rolled her eyes. “Well, he’s my man, and I know how he hates surprises after long waits. Come on, we’ve been expecting this for two years, and it happened a little late.” “You call two years a little late? I had an aunt that didn’t conceive for ten good years.

Alexander stepped backward. "That's impossible." "I saw her." "My mother died when I was six." I looked at the symbol. "Maybe she didn't." Before he could answer, a voice echoed from the darkness. "You should have left the past buried." We turned. A figure stepped forward. A woman. Older. Scarred. Alive. Alexander stopped breathing. "Mother?" She looked at him. Tears filled her eyes. "My son." The world seemed to stop. And then she whispered: "I have been waiting twenty years to tell you the truth."

Twenty years. Twenty years of planning. Twenty years of hiding. Twenty years of stealing. Twenty years of building a secret financial empire inside another empire.
