Carl rose from his seat and turned toward Arthur, his voice steady and respectful. “My condolences for your loss.”

Arthur gave a brief, acknowledging nod. “Thank you.”

With a slight incline of his head, Carl leaned on his cane and retreated a few steps to where he had been standing earlier. Noah and Amber then moved forward together, each laying a bouquet of white lilies before the memorial display. Once they had paid their respects, they stepped aside quietly.

All eyes shifted to the person behind them.

Carl gestured gently, and the veiled figure stepped forward, her movements quiet and deliberate. Under the watchful gaze of everyone in the chapel, she placed her own floral arrangement beside the others at Charles‘ memorial.

Clad in black, she stood before the portrait. Through the fine mesh of the veil, her lips seemed to move–whispering something too soft for anyone else to catch.

Arthur stood near the display. When the veiled woman approached, he hesitated. Even with her face concealed, something about her felt strangely familiar–an unexplained sense of recognition that lingered in the back of his mind.

For a split second, he considered stepping forward and asking who she was.

But this was his grandfather’s funeral. Etiquette demanded restraint, especially here in the quiet solemnity of the funeral home. Still, the feeling didn’t fade; if anything, it grew stronger the longer she stood there.

Arthur tried to pull his eyes away, but he couldn’t.

Behind the veil, the woman offered a slight, reverent bow before Charles‘ portrait, holding the gesture for several seconds before straightening once more.

Through the tulle, her gaze seemed to rest on the photograph a moment longer. Then, slowly, she turned away.

Carl moved toward her and exchanged a few low words. Noah and Amber immediately closed ranks at her side.

“Mr. Myers,” Noah said, voice respectful but firm, “we came today solely to pay our respects. We won’t take up any more of your family’s time.”

He nodded toward Arthur, then began steering their small group toward the exit.

Just as the veiled figure took her first step forward, a voice cut clearly through the quiet of the

room.

“Wait.”

It was Eugene.

The single word hung in the air, unmistakable and deliberate.

The woman in black froze mid–step.

Eugene pushed through the draped entryway, stepping into full view. He seemed unconcerned with how it might look–stopping a mourner so openly during a funeral service.

Noah met Eugene’s eyes and offered a polite, measured smile. “Can we help you with something, sir?”

Eugene’s gaze swept over Noah, Amber, Carl, and the others. He’d had little direct interaction with them before. Cosmos Group had once collaborated with the Bingham family’s R&D division through a charitable foundation, but that was years ago and irrelevant here.

His focus quickly returned to the figure standing beside Carl. There was something about her posture, her presence–a haunting familiarity that tightened in his chest. Even through the veil, the pull was undeniable.

It was the same feeling that had gripped him the first time he ever saw Chloe.

After she disappeared, he’d buried himself in work, filling every hour to keep from falling apart. But eventually, he realized it was pointless–every meeting, every project only made him miss her more.

From the moment this veiled woman had entered the funeral home, Eugene hadn’t been able to look away. That strange, magnetic sense of recognition was too compelling to ignore.

He didn’t know for sure if it was her. But he needed to see her face.

Yes, this was Charles‘ funeral. Yes, it was inappropriate to cause a scene. But he couldn’t let her walk away without knowing.

“Mr. Bingham,” Eugene said, his eyes fixed on the woman in black. “If you don’t mind my asking… who is this?”

Noah and Amber both glanced at Eugene, but the veiled woman remained still, showing no outward reaction.

Carl slowly turned, leaning into his cane as he faced Eugene.
