Chapter 21
Nora's POV
Elena Hamilton.
I stood at the boardroom window with my phone in my hand and those three words sitting on the screen like something that had been waiting a long time to be found. The city below me was bright and busy and completely indifferent, and behind me the board members were still talking in urgent, overlapping voices about Gerald Holt and fraud filings and governance procedures.
None of it reached me right now.
Elena Hamilton was a name I had not heard spoken out loud in eleven years. She was not in any of my public records. She was not mentioned in any interview, any filing, any press release connected to Hamilton Global. I had made sure of that a long time ago, carefully and deliberately, the way you seal a wound and choose never to speak about the scar.
