Felix’s POV

I stood beside my grandfather, taking yet another gift from some pharmaceutical exec who probably wanted a favor. The gala was packed with New York’s elite, all smiles and champagne.

My eyes kept drifting across the room to where she sat.

“Grandfather,” I said quietly, “Where’d that little girl come from? She looks just like she could be Audrey’s daughter.”
