“Boys… this time they beat us without us realizing it. We have already lost. Hear me now. This is not the moment for long speeches, I will go to the authorities and confess everything. I will accept the punishment that is mine alone. You must protect what remains of Jenson Group. Keep enough money and strength to shield yourselves. Then take your mother to Motrar and find Blaise.

“No matter what happens, do not look back. Do not worry about me. I can face what comes. The one you must guard above all else is your mother. Do you understand?”

Dominic spoke. “Dad … you mean the accusations are true?”

Russell’s interjection came sharply.

“Promise me, Dominic. Stop asking questions. If you still trust me as your father, then do exactly as I tell you.”

The weight of his words struck the room like iron striking stone, before a harsh cough ripped through him, leaving his body trembling.

Dominic’s fists clenched so tight his knuckles turned white. Tears spilled down his face, but at last, he forced a broken nod. “I understand. Dad … I’ll do everything you asked of me.”

“Dominic …”

Justin and the others choked on their grief, voices raw and cracking. Their eyes brimmed with tears, and it felt as if the world itself had collapsed.

They had just begun to rise again after losing Tilda. They had just started to see light at the end of that long tunnel, only for the world to collapse once more.

What had the family done to deserve this? Or was it because of the cruel way they had cast Tilda aside that fate had turned its hand against them?

Russell spoke to them, “Listen to me. Do as your brother tells you. The greatest mistake I ever made was refusing to take responsibility for this company, and believing Kyla’s lies that drove Tilda away and destroyed her. Perhaps it is because of those sins that the Jensons have come to this fall, and Blair has suffered so terribly. This is the punishment I deserve.

“Now I must stand like a man and carry the weight of my choices. I cannot run anymore. This burden has crushed me for too long. I always knew it would come to this. The only one I cannot stop worrying about is Blair. Only you, my children, can save her now. Protect her with everything you have.”

His

eyes found Dominic once again. “Go home. In my study there is a safe. The code is 386436.

Inside is the emergency money I set aside for the day when our family stood at the edge of life and death. That day is now. Take it. Use it to settle what must be settled here, then take everyone to your Uncle Blaise.”

Dominic’s voice shook, but he nodded. “Yes, Dad. We will. I promise.”

Howard and the others could barely force the words through their sobs.

In only a handful of days, blow after blow had fallen upon them.
