His face went deathly pale. He turned the phone toward me with trembling hands. The headline screamed: BILLIONAIRE CALEB VAUGHN DISOWNS PARENTS OVER SECRET LOVE CHILD” The article was already live. Photos showed Marcus and Clara leaving the motel. Caleb standing tense in the parking lot. Me, captured back in Dote, Norway. Someone had been watching the entire time.

“That I’m nothing here?” Her father looked at her. And for the first time There was no warmth in his eyes. “You are my daughter,” he said. “But you are not the heir.” The room went completely still. Elara felt like the air had been knocked out of her lungs. Not the heir. Just like that. “No…” she whispered, shaking her head. “No, that doesn’t make sense. Then who is it?

Before Mira came home from her daily walk with Tine after dinner, Amethyst took the note into Isaac's study to show him. "This secret is getting harder and harder to keep, my love.
