Sarah Fortune Arcane Novels & Stories

Sarah looked up, her clear eyes calm and composed, without uttering a word. Ivy, seeing her so unfazed, felt her anger rise and continued in a sharp voice, "To avoid marrying the father of your kids, you schemed to use your kid Just to climb up to Mr. Reed you really would do anything. I think you're just jealous that your sister is engaged to the CEO of the Reeds Corporation and gave birth to his heir, while you had an unwanted child!" Sarah narrowed her eyes.

Inside I found: Sturdy traveling clothes (much better than the thin dress I was wearing) A warm cloak Dried food and water supplies A hunting knife A fire-starting kit A compass And wrapped carefully in cloth—a stack of money. More than Sarah’s small pouch. These were serious travel funds. Beneath it all, I found another note in Sarah’s handwriting. Aria, This is everything I could gather without raising suspicion. The money comes from several sources, including pack members who wanted to help but couldn’t do so openly. You’re more loved than you know, child. You can get to Lunar Falls.

It wasn't until Erin came home looking completely normal after work the next day that I finally let out a breath. I was just about to bring up breaking up when she spoke first. "Honey, I want to go have some fun before I officially start work. Once I start, I won't have time anymore. You're busy with your job, so I already promised Lacey I'd go to Harvale with her. Is that okay?" Harvale? If I remembered right, Gavin was scheduled to go on a business trip to Harvale too. She was already sleeping with another man and still wanted to keep me as a backup.

Chapter 1 Scarlett POV I practiced swinging my staff with a few quick movements, relishing the sensation of manipulating metals as a means to concentrate without distractions.

"I know what you want," she said, her voice low and husky. "You want Lunaria, don't you?"

She hated me and wouldn't even return an email. Out of desperation, I resorted to sorcery, as advised by the last doctor from Arcana Hills who came to treat her. They believed Irene's case was caused by sorcery, just as Irene had claimed too but who would do that to her?

“Sarah used stolen funds to build safe houses and identities. Your testimony connects the pieces. The hacker’s countdown adds pressure. We need details now.” The old man smiled with tired eyes. “Sarah was brave,” he replied. “She wanted the children safe from the empire’s darkness. I handled accounts that hid millions. The transfers supported powerful people outside the family too. Sarah uncovered connections that could destroy more than Havisham.” I leaned forward with hope. “Tell us about the missing hours,” I said. “The woman in white. The sealed document.

My grip on the folder tightened. “It already seems like a yes,” he said, and I nodded. “Go through the folder. You are now Mia Carters,” he said. Mia Carters? I had heard that name before. I searched through my memories, and it dawned on me. Of course, she was my rival, the billionaire female CEO. She was just age twenty-two when she disappeared. No whereabouts, nothing.
