"You think this changes everything?"
Clara looked at him calmly.
"I didn't ask for any of this."
"You returned after twenty-two years and suddenly you're the heiress."
"I didn't steal your inheritance."
Alexander laughed bitterly.

His resentment was obvious.

His anger wasn't only about money.
There was fear beneath it.
"What are you afraid of?"
Alexander's face hardened.

His hands began to shake.
