Chapter 8 - The Other Heir Was My Half-Sister, and the People Hunting Liam Had Been Searching for Her for Eighteen YearsGrace had disappeared at birth.
No records.
No family.
No identity.
My father had hidden her.
Why?
Because she was supposed to be used as leverage against the family.
We found her in Massachusetts.
She was eighteen.
Working in a bookstore.
She didn't know who we were.
When I told her, she laughed.
Then cried.
Then asked:
“Why me?”
I explained.
She listened.
Her answer surprised me.
“I don't want any of it.”
“The money?”
“The power.”
“Then what do you want?”
She thought.
“A family.”
I looked at her.
“You have one.”
She smiled.
“Really?”
I nodded.
“Yes.”
We brought her home.
Maya welcomed her.
Liam was too young to understand.
But someday he would.
The family became larger.
Two heirs.
One newborn.
One woman.
One mother.
And a man trying to protect everyone from a system that had started before he was born.
Grace helped.
She had inherited my father's intelligence.
But none of the family's cruelty.
The trust required both heirs.
But neither wanted it.
That weakened the Circle.
The final move belonged to Victor.

He kidnapped my mother.
And demanded both heirs.
