“Kaia, I need your help sorting out a property division with Joanne,” Zane said, his voice low but steady. “Things have gotten this bad, and… I know I’m partly to blame.”

Alden.

As for the real estate and liquid assets, he’d split those evenly with Joanne.

He was ready to retire–for good this time.

Lucien chuckled. “We’re family, Zane.”

Allen, listening quietly nearby, said nothing.

For once, he felt like the Graves family might finally be finding

a bit of peace.
