The billionaire heiress was believed to live abroad.
Seraphina Holloway cooked family dinners and drove an old car.
Mavis had dismissed the resemblance as coincidence.
Grant stared at his mother.
“You knew the Bellamys?”
She began crying.
His voice rose.
“YOU KNEW?”
Mavis covered her face.
The agents approached.

Brielle collapsed into a chair.
Grant did not move.
He looked at Seraphina.
For the first time that night, there was no arrogance left.

“My father tried to kill yours.”
Seraphina said nothing.
“My mother helped him.”
“Yes.”
“And you married me anyway?”
Seraphina’s eyes filled.
This was the one question that still hurt.
“I didn’t know.”
Grant swallowed.
“I swear I didn’t either.”
“I believe you.”
He looked stunned.
“You do?”
“Yes.”
Hope flickered in his face.
It lasted less than a second.
“Which is why your parents’ crimes are not the reason our marriage is ending.”
