She stayed away from them all, refusing to answer her phone or the door she told her Guards to refuse access to everyone. She cried a lot, she felt betrayed by them

“She probably takes after you in that department. Center of attention and all.” Maddox’s lips quirked. Aiden smothered a chuckle. I had to smile. “What did you find?” “Juliet Brennan. Deceased. Only child. Parents deceased. Born in Calgary, lived there, in BC, and finally Ontario. One daughter—the one you met last night. Juliet was a successful model for about five years.
