Chapter 14 - The Secret TrustCharles arrived carrying a leather case.
Inside was the original trust agreement.
The document revealed that the Harrington fortune had been placed under a condition:
The inheritance would pass to both twins only if they reunited before their thirty-third birthday.
Otherwise, control would revert to a third party.
Victoria had spent years manipulating Julian because she believed marrying him would give her access to the fortune.
But the document contained another clause.
A clause nobody had noticed.
If either twin was deliberately harmed, the entire Harrington empire would be frozen.
Julian looked at Charles.
“You knew.”
Charles lowered his head.
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Fear.”
Noah stepped closer.
“And who ordered the kidnapping?”
Silence.
Then Charles looked at Victoria.
Victoria's face collapsed.
“I didn't mean for anyone to die.”
Julian stared at her.
“You kidnapped my mother.”
“I was desperate.”
“You always were.”
The police sirens sounded outside.
Victoria turned toward the window.

Noah smiled faintly.
“You're finished.”
