I married Eric,” Kelly said quietly, her gaze drifting away. But we split up right after we got our marriage license.She paused, gathering her thoughts. He treated me well before that. He knew my family’s traditional valuesso before we got married, he neve rwell, he never touched me

Her words, though simple, made it clear she wasn’t very experienced.

Zev studied her, his eyes fixed and intense. He wasn’t sure what to feel.

So, Kelly had never been with anyone else. He had protected her all this time in Solmaris.

Youyou’re not going toKelly’s voice trailed off, barely audible.

Zev grinned. I’ve had some visual aid in this matter. It’s in every man to know how it’s done!

Kelly rolled her eyes and quickly buried her face in a pillow, pretending to be asleep to avoid the awkwardness.

It was her turn to feel selfconscious.

Zev chuckled, pulling the pillow away, and leaned in to kiss her.

At Seaville Hospital, Beau stared at the peacekeeping force application list, his eyes narrowing in disbelief.

Are you sure Kelly applied again?

Yes, Dr. Yeager submitted her application,the assistant said, nodding.

Beau’s expression darkened. Kelly had the audacity to apply again? What was she playing at?

Was she trying to avoid staying home, or was there something more behind it?

Bring Kelly to me,Beau ordered, his tone firm.

She’s on annual leave,the assistant responded.

Beau smirked, the corners of his lips curling in a dangerous way. Kelly was going to rejoin the peacekeeping force, huh? This time, she wouldn’t be so lucky.

Whatever her reason was, she wouldn’t make it out of this one alive.

This is between us,Beau said in a low, threatening voice. No one can know, especially Eric.

The assistant nodded, quickly turning to leave.

Wait. Bring Eric to me too,Beau added, a sly grin crossing his face.

He’d heard that Eric had returned Kelly’s money to her for Faye’s sake.

If Kelly didn’t make it back from this mission, that money would go to someone else.

When Eric stepped into Beau’s office, he found Beau still absorbed in brewing his tea.

Eric, what’s going on with you and Kelly now?Beau asked, his voice carrying a genuine concern.

Eric’s expression grew dark. She married that guy, Zev. The one I warned you about.

Beau’s hand faltered, the teacup almost slipping from his grasp. That guy was still alive? How was that possible?

He shook his head, dismissing it.

Lucaspeople should have dealt with him by now. But in the end, it didn’t matter.

He was just another nuisance.

Eric,Beau continued, his voice taking on a harder edge, Kelly has a lot of money. If she’s with someone else, that money will slip through your fingers. Zev’s a criminalsmuggling, money laundering, you name it. If Kelly stays with him, she’s done for.Beau’s gaze bore into Eric, his eyes sharp and calculating, And what about those two years Kelly was gone? You treated her parents like your own. You were there every day. That money was meant for you. And yet you just gave it to her, no questions asked?

Eric clenched his jaw, the frustration boiling inside him. But the deed was done. The agreement had been signed. The money was gone.

Regina acted impulsively. She wasn’t cut out for this,Beau went on. I see it now. Kelly’s been good to Faye. You two seem to be making it work. At least now her money won’t end up somewhere else.Beau’s eyes locked onto Eric’s. Don’t you agree?

Eric was

silent, knowing there was no turning back now.

You’ve already built a foundation with her. She acted out of anger, but if you show her you’re serious, she’ll understand that you genuinely want to make things right with her,Beau said, his tone a little more reassuring. By the way, I heard you cashed in your shares to give her that money. Don’t worry about it. I’ll have Clarissa hold onto them for you. She’s already carrying the Lockhartschild. She’ll be their only heir. You follow?

The weight of that hit Eric. The Lockhartsinfluence would open doors for the Lynches in ways they hadn’t imagined. Not only would they go publicthey’d have access to resources beyond their wildest dreams.

The 20% stake in the company was no small matter. Eric’s future could be completely reshaped.

This was his chance to make something of himself, to live without ever having to answer to anyone again.

One success, and they would all rise together. One mistake, and they’d all fall.

Get Kelly to remarry you,Beau instructed, his eyes never leaving Eric’s. It shouldn’t be that difficult, right?

Eric could tell Beau was still thinking about Kelly’s fortune.

AlrightBeau, I’ll figure it out,” Eric replied, his voice flat, resigned.
