Lena’s letter changed everything.
I sat at my desk at three in the morning and read it again, slowly to ensure I hadn’t missed anything. Lena had discovered what Dominic was doing in her final weeks. Not through files or digging, but through a conversation she was never meant to hear. She wrote the letter so Adrian would know the truth when he was ready. She gave it to Nathaniel because she trusted him to choose the right moment.
And Nathaniel had buried it for eleven years.
I read the last paragraph one more time. She hadn’t asked him to expose the fraud. She had asked him to protect Adrian until the time was right. She believed the truth would come out eventually, and when it did, Adrian would need someone who understood the full picture standing beside him.
She never expected Nathan
