I looked up.
Marcus appeared behind the agents.
We arrived on time.
Flynn lost his smile.
“No…
Marcus came over.
“Your mistake was to think that Evelyn was the only one who could authorize the account.
Flynn looked at me.
“What did you do?”
I took a deep breath.
“Nothing.
I took a step towards him.
“It was my father.
Marcus nodded.
“Mr. Sterling blocked all assets six hours ago.
Aidan paled.
That is impossible.
“No,” I replied. The impossible was that you thought my father wouldn’t protect his only daughter.
Fiona started crying.
“Evelyn, please…
I looked at her.
The same woman who had called me “her sweet daughter.”
Don’t call me that.
She kept quiet.
“Never call me daughter again.
The officers took the three.
Flynn passed me.
For a moment, our gazes met.
There was no love anymore.
I don’t even hate.
Just a question.
Why?
I approached him.
Do you want to know why I survived?
He didn’t answer.
“Because while you were planning my death.
I showed her my phone.
The recording was still playing.
Flynn’s voice filled the hallway.
“Tonight. Just a soft push. The ocean takes care of the rest.”
His face lost all color.
