A few days passed as I tried to digest the whole thing of me and Clara actually being biological siblings. Now it made sense why no matter how much I tried to keep her out of my life, fate kept finding a way to bring her back.

Somehow, she just kept being that bone stuck in my throat and to be honest, I was beginning to feel like Clara would eventually be the death of me. As much as I try not to dwell on it, that thought terrified me.

I dressed up and went to work as usual, trying to make sense of my mess of a life only for Daniel to show up at Carter Holdings without warning. I first saw him through the glass wall of my office, standing in the hallway like he had been debating whether to knock.

I felt tired the moment I saw him. I already knew what he wanted, because men like Mark always came back with the same story once their support system collapsed.

He knocked softly and stepped inside before I told him to. He closed the door, then stood there with his hands behind his back like he was trying to look harmless.

“I came to apologize,” he said. “I know I messed up. I let Clara twist everything. I let her turn me against you. I should have seen it sooner.”

I watched him speak and felt no pressure in my chest, no anger, no old emotions. His voice sounded too polished. He shifted his weight nervously, trying to look sincere. I had seen him act before. There was nothing new here.

“I’m not interested,” I said.

He blinked a few times, confused. “Amy, I mean it. I finally understand what she did. I’m not that person anymore. I want to make things right.”

“You’re repeating the same pattern,” I told him. “Someone hurts you, you run to me, and you expect me to carry the guilt for how you acted. I’m done with that. I don’t trust you. And you’re not here for me, you’re here because Clara is gone and you have nowhere to place your regret.”

His face went red. He tried to hold his expression together, but the embarrassment was clear. He made a few more attempts to defend himself, but I didn’t respond. Eventually he gave up, muttered something under his breath, and left the office with his shoulders tense.

I shut the door and let out a slow breath. I didn’t feel relieved or upset. I simply felt done.

I walked into the boardroom ten minutes later. The board was already seated, and Mrs. Carter was back from her trip, sitting at the head of the long table. She gave me a calm look and waited for me to settle in.

The meeting was the usual list of numbers, regional issues, and public reaction to the latest rumors. Mrs. Carter stayed calm beside me, responding whenever the board became pushy or suspicious. She did not let anyone corner me. She didn’t have to be loud about it, she simply held the room tgether with her presence. It was enough.

Still, she kept glancing at me, and I knew she could tell my focus was drifting. My mind kept circling the new information about Selene, Clara, and now Marielle. The board discussed the warehouse repairs, and I

realized I hadn’t absorbed a single detail.

When the meeting ended and the others walked out, Mrs. Carter remained seated. She looked at me with the kind of patience that made it impossible to lic.

“You’re somewhere else,” she said.

I sat down again. “There’s more happening than I’ve told you.”

She nodded once. “Then tell me now.”

So I told her everything. I started with Selene’s link to my father, the spy’s warning, Clara’s connection to Selene, and the possibility that Marielle was alive. I kept my tone even because I didn’t want the facts to get mixed with emotion. Mrs. Carter listened without interrupting. Her expression changed only slightly when I reached the part about Marielle.

When I finished, she leaned back slowly.

“You need to prepare for anything,” she said. “People who come in the name of family are often the most dangerous. They expect access. They expect trust. And they use both before you notice the damage.”

I understood her point. Selene had walked into my life with ease. Clara had reappeared with purpose. Now Marielle might be tied to both of them. None of this looked random.

Mrs. Carter placed a hand on the table. “Do not give anyone blind access again. Not even if they claim blood ties.”

I nodded. I agreed with her fully. I already felt that shift inside myself. Whatever was coming next, I wasn’t approaching it with open arms.

My phone buzzed. I glanced at the screen and saw Daniel’s name. I excused myself and answered the call as I walked toward the elevator.

His voice was firm. “He found something.”

I stopped. “What did he say?”

“The second investigator traced a record,” Daniel said. “Marielle was moved to a hidden location. It’s not on any official map. It’s used for private detentions by southern factions. He sent coordinates.”

My grip tightened around the phone. The hallway felt still, almost too quiet.

“So she’s alive,” I said.

“She was alive as of the last recorded transfer,” he replied. “We need to move fast.”

I didn’t hesitate. “I’m leaving now. Send me the details.”

“I already did,” he said. “I’ll meet you outside.”

The call ended. I didn’t go back to my office. I didn’t pack anything. I headed straight to the elevator with a clear purpose forming in my mind. For the first time, there was a location. A real place. A trail that wasn’t fabricated or erased.

+5 Pearle Questions could wait. Fear could wait. Confusion could wait but finding the truth could not. I stepped out of the building and saw Daniel’s car already parked out front. Everything else would start from there.
