Chapter 11
At the very top lay a note. Bold, oversized letters burned into his vision-
[Evidence of Nicole Jenner’s Crimes]
The world went silent.
Andrew’s hands shook as he pulled out each item, one by one.
The deeper he dug, the darker his expression became.

Rohan estate.
Nicole, dozing in the warm sunlight, jolted awake at the sharp ring of her phone.
She frowned, barely cracking her eyes open, and answered without checking the caller ID.
“Who is this?”
A venomous voice sneered back. “What, now that you’re Mrs. Rohan, you’ve forgotten me?”
Nicole’s grip tightened. She let out a cold laugh. “Forget you? Please. You’re the worst hitman I’ve ever hired. I paid a fortune, and
you still screwed it up. If I were you, I’d have offed myself out of shame.”
As she argued, a dark silhouette loomed behind the glass doors.
Outside, freshly bloomed roses did nothing to soften the storm brewing in Andrew’s eyes.
The second Nicole ended the call, the doors swung open.
A piercing scream tore through the air.
“Ah-!”
Boom!
Lightning slashed across the sky.
Rain poured.
Panicked servants scrambled as paramedics rushed a blood–soaked Nicole into an ambulance.
Crimson streaks trailed behind her, swirling in the downpour before vanishing into the night.
A pair of black leather shoes stepped through the fading blood-
Then disappeared into the night.

The chaos at the Rohan estate? Didn’t matter. Lena was long gone, safe in Engloria.
Before returning–to her father–she had made sure every last bruise was gone. No scars, no reminders. Only then did she step back into the Clermont estate, leaving the past where it belonged.
She refused to let Benjamin or her future fiancé worry.
But she had no clue two people had already dug into her past before she even set foot in the Clermont estate.
One was Benjamin.
