Dawn turned and sat on the couch, flipping through the files Cindy had brought out.

To her surprise, by pure accident, Cindy had managed to get her hands on Lucas’s dirty

secrets.

These were all the Swanson family’s private records from over the years. There were plenty of off–the–books deals, plus evidence of what happened whenever illegal projects went

wrong.

Dawn wondered if Lucas kept these around because he had a death wish.

She gave a mocking smile. Still, it was a nice surprise.

But…

She needed to make a copy for Cindy to put back, or else Lucas would notice, and there would be trouble.

Dawn took a deep breath and packed up the documents in a hurry. She changed her clothes before heading out.

With summer nearly here, the air felt thick and heavy.

She figured it wouldn’t be long before a storm finally swept away the last traces of spring.

Dawn met Cindy and returned the originals. “Find a time when your dad’s not home and put them back where you found them. Don’t let him find out.”

“Okay.” Cindy glanced at the documents but didn’t open them. “Did you find anything?”

“Nothing yet.”

Dawn wore sunglasses, her striking eyes hidden behind the dark lenses. “But I’m going to keep digging. I’ll tell you as soon as I find something.”

Cindy bit her lip. She didn’t say she doubted Dawn, but her voice dropped as she said, “You’d better tell me everything. I have a right to know

She knew better than anyone that her father was a mess.

Still, parents were parents, no matter how bad they were. She couldn’t change that, and she couldn’t pretend it didn’t matter.

Dawn paused and smiled. “Like I could keep anything from you.”

“Who knows?” Cindy huffed. “I’m out of here.”

She had barely stepped out when Dawn’s voice called after her, clear and steady. “Cindy.”

“What?” Cindy turned back, looking annoyed. “I’m busy, alright? I don’t have time to just hang around here.”

“If, one day, you realize nothing around you is what you thought it was, what would you do?”

The question almost sounded like a prediction.

Or a hint.

Cindy gripped the folder a little tighter. After a second, she replied, “If it’s true, I’ll accept it. If it’s not, I’ll change it. I’m not a princess living in some fairy tale.”

Before Dawn could answer, Cindy cut her off, “Just do your own thing and stop worrying about me.”

Dawn watched her walk away, feeling a twist of emotion inside.

They both knew that day would come sooner or later.

It was only a matter of how hard it would hit.

When that day comes, how will Cindy cope?

Dawn never liked thinking about anything more than forty–eight hours ahead, but this was the one thing she couldn’t stop thinking about.

She pulled herself together and drove to Stonewarden Group.

The company’s makeover was nearly finished. Everything looked brand new, inside and out.

“Ms. Dawn.” Dawn’s assistant, Hazel Ziegler, came over with documents for her to sign, updating her on everything from the past couple of days. “Ms. Roxanne has stopped by

twice.”

Dawn looked up. “What did she want?”

“She didn’t say.”

Hazel thought back. “But I think she was here to cause trouble. She didn’t like how we changed the company and even threatened to smash things up.”

Dawn chuckled. “Let her try.”

As if on cue, Roxanne showed up.

While they were still talking, a commotion erupted at the door. Roxanne burst in swinging a baseball bat, and not even the security guards could stop her.

“Didn’t

you

all say the

company had new owners? I’ll show you who really runs this place!”

Dawn saw her rampage from the doorway but made no move to stop her. Instead, she folded her arms and watched with real interest.

“Ms. Dawn?”

Hazel whispered, “Shouldn’t we stop her?”

“Why should we do that?” Dawn tapped her chin, sounding casual. “If she really trashes something, it’s the perfect excuse to have her sent to a psych ward. Problem solved.”

She didn’t lower her voice. Everyone nearby could hear every word.

Roxanne was just about to bring the bat down when she heard those words.

She froze, disbelief flashing in her fierce gaze. “You want to put me in a psych ward?”

“That’s right.”

Dawn tilted her head with a smile. “Is that a problem?”

“Dad will never let you get away with this!”

“Then bring it on.”

Dawn’s complete indifference only fueled Roxanne’s anger. Roxanne lowered her bat and glared, taking slow steps forward.

The security guards rushed over, but looking at Dawn’s calm expression, they hesitated, not sure whether to intervene.

“Dawn…” Roxanne choked out, eyes red with rage, “You don’t know how much I want to kill you. I dream about it every night!”

But she didn’t make a move.

The reason was obvious. Roxanne either knew Lawn was out of her league, or there was something about Dawn that made her hesitate.
