After a dramatic scene, those entrusted with the task of talding care of the woman who had once been the wife of Catherine Palmer’s eldest grandson moved the patient to a more private room. It was all part of the plan to transfer her out of the hospital and off the radar of those closest to her. There was no time to notify her young children. Her husband had decided to create her body, and although he was absent, the fact that a Palmer had paid the hospital bills and cremation costs maile it clear who was behind the decision.

That night was long–not only for those diligently carrying out their assigned duties but also for Alexia’s parents and, most of all, for Maximus, Each le he read from the fes Alden had given him broke his heart further, filling him with rage, pain, and overwhelming self–reproach.

Every report in the files pointed indirectly to Alexia Levett as the orchestrator of his brother Peter’s death. Names leaped off the page–Frank Levett and Theodore Bennett. They were the executors. Recorded phone calls confirmed it all, including the moment they reported that the “job” was done.

“Alexia… I’ll kill you with my own hands!” Maximas shouted into the empty room.

His throat ached from crying. He couldn’t fathom how the woman he had lived with for 20 years, who had betrayed him with his own father, had also orchestrated his brother’s death. All for the cursed money and that damn company. He had been an utter fool, handing this woman his trust on a silver platter. Alexia had ruined his life, Mary’s life, and had ultimately decided to take his brother’s life without a second thought.

Overcome with rage, Maximus began destroying everything in his study. The commotion startled Laura awake. Alarmed by the shouting and crashing sounds, she bolted from her room and ran toward the study. She hesitated before opening the door but couldn’t stop herself when she heard her father’s anguished cries.

“Dad! Dad! Please, calm down!” Laura screamed as she burst into the room, only to find her father holding a gun to his temple.

Maximus. He couldn’t imagine facing those around him anymore. In his pursuit of giving Lucius a family like the one he had once shared with Peter and their parents, he had armed Alexia with the means to destroy everything. He now saw himself as the sole culprit behind Peter’s death. His blindness and stupidity had cost so many
