"Lucius, Michael, what are you two really after?"


    Lucius gave her a sly smile. "If you want to stop me from selling my shares, you can—but first, you have to go to this address. Meet the person waiting for you there, and you''ll understand everything."


    He handed her a slip of paper.


    ra took it and nced down.


    It was for a hotel-one of the Montgomery Corporation''s upscale properties. What were these two even nning?


    They wouldn''t go so far as to set her up with another man just to hurt Dn, would they?


    Lucius brushed past her. "I''ve got a meeting with our rivalpany at nine tomorrow morning. Whether you show up tonight or not is your call."


    ra stayed where she was, watching the two men disappear down the hall.


    Only then did the Montgomery Corporation executives approach, all looking worried. Con led the group.


    "Mrs. Montgomery, have you been able to reach the CEO?"


    There was hope in Con''s eyes. The CEO adored his wife-how could he just vanish?


    ra shook her head, slow and tired. All she knew was that Dn was back in the country; she honestly had no clue where he''d gone.


    She''d tried calling Richard, Jackson, Nichs-none of them knew anything.


    It was like Dn had just disappeared the minute he returned.


    ra lowered her gaze, listening as Con sighed. "Maybe the CEO got tied up with something. He''d never leave you on purpose-that''s just not him. But with Lucius and Michael teaming up and controlling so many shares, none of us in management can really go against them. Especially now that they have the chairman''s will..."


    ra frowned. Thete chairman-wasn''t that Walter? What else had the old man set in motion?


    "What will?" she asked.


    Con looked down, voice barely above a whisper. "I don''t know all the details, but apparently, when the CEO became heir, he signed an agreement that wasn''t in his favor. The chairman could take back all the shares he''d given Dn at any time. Now, with the chairman missing and those two holding the will, if they bring inwyers, the CEO might not have a way out."


    ra took a shaky breath. Her scalp tingled with frustration. What the hell had Dn signed back then?


    Seriously?!


    She''d never heard a word about this. If the old man could just take everything back whenever he wanted, had Dn really spent all these years working for nothing?


    Was he out of his mind? Why would he ever sign something like that? Unless the old man had something to hold over him...


    Dn''s other weakness...


    Suddenly, it hit her. Westwood Cemetery.


    Her eyes widened. She had a feeling she knew where Dn was.


    She rushed outside, jumped in her car, and drove straight for Westwood Cemetery.


    Just as she expected, security was


    tight. She made it past the first checkpoint, but the second was locked down no entry without clearance content belongs to s


    So she called Richard, hoping he''d help her out.


    Richard sighed on the other end. "Do you really have to go in right now?"


    "So you do know he''s here. Richard, I asked if you knew where he was before- you lied to me."


    "He''s not ready to see anyone. And..."


    "I''m going in. No matter what."


    Her voice was firm.<fn366d> Original content can be found at ?ovelFind</fn366d>


    Richard fell silent for a moment, then hung up.


    ra waited about three minutes before someone came and unlocked the gate.


    She remembered the esctor led all the way to the top, to a ce that looked like a castle. She''d always wondered what was up there.


    Aiden had mentioned it before, too.


    But security around the castle was even tighter. She called Richard again.


    He lit a cigarette, sounding tired.


    "ra, it''s not that I don''t want to


    help. It''s just this ce has belonged to Dn for years. The board handed it over to him ages


    200 Everyone up there answers to him, not me. Honestly, I have no idea what''s inside. Dn is definitely in there, but maybe just wait outside? He mighte out."


    belongs to s


    Even Richard, who was so close to Dn, didn''t know what went on in there.


    ra sat on a bench, but after a few minutes, her patience snapped. She started shouting.


    "Dn! Dn!"


    "If you don''te out, I''ll just wait right here. I''ll wait as long as it takes!"


    "Dn, do you hear me?!"


    It was dead quiet inside. The guards at the door frowned, and one finally spoke up. Ma''am, please leave. You can''t raise your voice here.  s>


    ra ignored him and kept calling out. Not until the guards tried to physically move her did she react.


    She wasn''t as skilled as Uno, but with these guards, she could hold her own.


    After ten minutes, she was breathing hard, backing up until she stood right in front of the castle doors.


    Suddenly, the heavy doors creaked open. A man wearing a mask stepped out. "Ma''am, please go home."
