The grand staircase had never looked more magnificent.

Garlands of white roses wound up the banisters, intertwined with fairy lights that twinkled like captured stars. The crystal chandelier above cast prismatic light across the marble steps, creating a pathway of pure magic.

And at the top, arm in arm, stood Julia and Philip.

The ballroom fell silent.

Every conversation stopped. Every glass paused mid-lift. Every eye turned toward the couple who had brought them all together, not just for this

Harry slipped away from the ball room quietly, unnoticed by most, weaving through the edges of the crowd until he reached the French doors that led to the terrace. Wilfreda sat on one of the lounge chairs near the pool's edge, a wine glass in her hand, her gaze fixed on the water. She was still in her elegant gown but her shoes were off, her feet tucked beneath her. She looked lost in thought, miles away from the party.Harry hesitated, not wanting to intrude. But something in her posture made him step forward anyway."Wilfreda?"She startled, nearly sloshing wine over the edge of her glass. "Harry!" She pressed a hand to her chest, laughing softly. "You scared me.""Sorry." He moved closer, lowering himself onto the lounge chair beside hers. "I didn't mean to sneak up on you. I just—" He gestured vaguely at the house. "Needed some air."Wilfreda nodded, understanding. "Me too."Harry studied her face in the soft light. She looked beautiful, as always, but there was something beneat

The grand staircase had never looked more magnificent.Garlands of white roses wound up the banisters, intertwined with fairy lights that twinkled like captured stars. The crystal chandelier above cast prismatic light across the marble steps, creating a pathway of pure magic.And at the top, arm in arm, stood Julia and Philip.The ballroom fell silent.Every conversation stopped. Every glass paused mid-lift. Every eye turned toward the couple who had brought them all together, not just for this night, but for two decades of shared history, of battles fought and won, of love that had grown from the most unlikely of beginnings.Julia descended first, her emerald gown catching the light with each step. She moved with the grace of a woman who had commanded boardrooms and faced down enemies, but tonight there was something softer in her bearing. Something vulnerable. Something profoundly human.Philip matched her pace, his charcoal tuxedo impeccable now that Julia had fixed his tie. His ha

Near the edge of the ballroom, partially hidden by a pillar and a large floral arrangement, Harry stood with Sparrow.They had positioned themselves strategically where they could see the room without being easily seen. Harry's eyes moved constantly, taking in the glittering scene with a mixture of wonder and discomfort.It was all so... normal.People laughing, drinking, dancing. Couples holding hands. Friends embracing. The easy rhythm of celebration, of happiness, of lives untouched by the darkness that had consumed his recent months.Sparrow noticed his tension. "You okay?"Harry nodded, but his jaw was tight. "It's just—" He gestured vaguely at the room. "All of this. While Marta is—" He couldn't finish.Sparrow's face tightened. He understood. He always understood."She's strong, Harry. Tougher than anyone I've ever known." Sparrow's voice was low, meant only for Harry. "If anyone can survive whatever they're putting her through, it's Marta."Harry wanted to believe that. Needed

Gary's phone buzzed with a text from Gerald: ETA? Need to know when to expect you.Gary glanced at Courtney, asleep in the seat beside him, her head resting against the window. The past days had exhausted her—the chase, the confrontation, the emotional weight of facing Dana. She needed this rest.He typed back quietly: Landing in 2 hours. Hotel, change, then party. We'll be there.Gerald's response came almost instantly: Good. Ava was asking. Drive safe.Gary smiled, pocketing his phone. Outside the plane window, the first lights of the city were appearing, a glittering map of home.He reached over and gently brushed a strand of hair from Courtney's face. She stirred but didn't wake."Soon," he whispered. "We'll be home soon."The plane hummed on, carrying them toward celebration, toward family, toward the complicated, beautiful mess of it all.***The O'Connor estate had been transformed.From the moment guests passed through the wrought-iron gates, they entered a world of enchantmen

Harry glanced around, ensuring they were alone. Then he leaned closer, his voice dropping."After Helsin was taken away, I was left in utter darkness. I thought I was going to die."Chance listened as Harry spoke fully drawn into the tale of his survival."And just when I thought freedom had come, it turns out to be Robert's men who came and knocked me out. I thought I was dead, until I woke up to find myself in an unknown province in the house of a woman named Marta.""Oh my—" Chance managed to utter but Harry wasn't done yet."And it was there I found out what I'm about to tell you." Harry added."What's that?" Chance asked."Marta. The woman who saved me, who hid me—she knew something. Something about the Obsidian."Chance's blood ran cold. "The Obsidian? The O' Connor family legend?""Yes, Chance, and Marta knows a way to unlock it—a way that doesn't require the O'Connor relics."Chance stared at him, his mind racing. "How? How could she know that?""Her husband, Viktor. He was a
Chapter 409
The car finally pulled into the long driveway of the O'Connor estate as the last light of day was fading into twilight. The mansion ahead was still alive with activities of earlier—caterers carrying trays, florists arranging elaborate centerpieces, staff rushing about with last-minute preparations for Julia and Philip's anniversary celebration.Harry barely noticed any of it. He sat in the back seat, still pale, still hollow-eyed from the news about Helsin. Wilfreda held his hand, a lifeline in the storm of his grief. Sparrow drove in silence, his face unreadable. Priya had already begun texting updates to Flynn.As they parked near the main entrance, Chance emerged from the house, a clipboard in one hand, his phone pressed to his ear with the other. He was mid-conversation, gesturing emphatically about something, probably the placement of the floral arrangements or the timing of the speeches.Then he saw Harry.The phone dropped from his ear. The clipboard hung forgotten at his side
