Hayden-I couldn’t bring myself to speak. The answer screamed inside my head, but it wouldn’t come out of my mouth. I didn’t know if I was in shock or what. I did know that Lexus was the last person I wanted to have any relation with.“Hayden?” Dominic’s tone was softer than usual.Snapping out of my trance, I blinked a few times to focus on Dominic. “Why are you asking me what I want to do?”“Because he is your cousin.”“That doesn’t make any difference. Lexus needs to face the consequences of his actions.” Looking at the information on his computer, I felt sick to my stomach.“What is wrong?” Dominic asked.“I just can’t believe I am related to someone that could do something like that.” I reached for the mouse and closed out of the files. “I can’t look at it anymore.”“Do you want to contact the lawyers?”“I don’t know.” I looked at the box sitting on the desk with the business cards inside. “I don’t think I can accept this part of my family.” I sighed.“Do you want to see what els

Hayden-When I arrived at the law office the next day, I kept wondering if I had made the right decision. Dominic was with me but remained quiet, for which I was grateful. When we were standing outside Lawyer Alexander’s office, Dominic took my sweaty hand and squeezed it lightly.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Dominic asked as we waited for the lawyer to open the door.My head screamed no, but my mouth said the opposite. “I’m sure.”“You can come in now.” The receptionist, who had entered the office to see if the lawyer was ready, opened the door and stepped to the side.“Thank you.” I smiled politely and walked past her.I expected to see only one man in the office, but there were two. They both stood upon me entering. They were both older men, but not as old as I expected. They were roughly around my mother’s age, if not a little older.“Good morning, Miss Delaney,” one of the men said as he walked toward me. “I am Alexander.” He extended a hand to me, which I took, and we sho

Hayden-“What now?” I asked, glancing between the lawyers.“Well, if you are ready to accept your inheritance, you will need to sign some paperwork. We will also go over a few things regarding some of the companies you will own. Since no one has claimed the inheritance, Lexus has taken control and has affected the way they are being run.” Lawyer Alexander answered.“That is where I come in.” Lawyer Montego picked up a box next to the couch and set it on the table. Inside is every company you will inherit, but there are a few you may choose not to inherit.”“Why is that?”“We have protected as many as we could, but some have fallen into Lexus’s hands, and he has turned them into illegal operations.” Lawyer Montego removed the box's lid and pulled out a few files. “These are the illegal companies.”I took the files and looked through each one. There was enough evidence in the files to convict Lexus of many crimes. As lawyers, I expected they would have done something about this, but at

Hayden-I didn’t wait for permission to go upstairs. I took the stairs two steps at a time and searched every room until I reached a room with a man sleeping on a king-size bed. A female in a white lab coat was standing by the bed, writing something on a piece of paper on a clipboard.Ignoring her, I went to the other side of the bed and sat on the edge. The man lying on the bed, with a navy blue comforter, looked like he was sleeping. There was a tube in his mouth for oxygen and another tube that went into his nose, likely a feeding tube.“Excuse me, miss, but were you permitted to be here?” The female Doctor asked.“She is fine.” Jack said as he entered the room.“Okay, well, if you need anything, let me know.” The Doctor said as she backed out of the room. “Also, be sure to consider what we talked about.”“What is she talking about?” I asked, without taking my eyes off the father I never had a chance to meet.His facial structure was well-defined and hollow, which made sense if he

Dominic-I hadn’t wanted to leave Hayden, but Agent Leo said it was urgent that we meet today. By now, he should have received everything to convict Lexus. We still had to be cautious, but at least this was almost over.“Thank you for seeing me today.” Agent Leo greeted me after I entered the safe house where I had stayed after he had rescued me from the police station.“If you hadn’t told me it was urgent, I wouldn’t have come. Hayden just found out her biological father is still alive, although he is on life support.”“You should have said something. I would have come to you.” Agent Leo motioned toward the chair across from him. “Since you are here, we will make this quick so you can return to her side.”Sitting at the table with Leo, I scanned the numerous papers scattered around the table. “What is all this?”“I have compiled everything we need to handle Lexus. I also have new leads on everyone who he is working with. Lexus has been busy lately, meeting with a lot of people, all o

Hayden-Sitting beside my father, I waited for him to wake up. His breathing tube was already removed now that he was breathing on his own. Other than choking on the tube, he hadn’t fully woken.“How long do you think it will take?” I asked Jack, who was sitting in the room with me.“I don’t know, kiddo. I am still blown away by all of this. He has never shown any signs of waking in all the years I have been taking care of him. I don’t know what you said to him, but whatever it was, he must have heard you.”“Do you really think he heard me?” I moved my knee on the bed and rested my hands on it, still holding my father’s hand.“He must have. Before he ended up like this, he had told me that your mother was pregnant. I can still recall the sound of his voice when he told me. Your dad was excited about being a father. I wish he had had the chance to watch you grow up.”“You two must have been close.” I muttered as I glanced at him.He rubbed his hands over his face and sighed. “We were c

Hayden-When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed in the same room as Dominic. “How long was I asleep?” I asked Tristan, who was the only other person in the room.“Twelve hours.” Tristan stood from his chair and came to sit next to me on my bed. “How are you feeling?”“Fine.” I turned to look at Dominic, who seemed to be sleeping. “Has he woken up? How is he?” I returned my attention to Tristan.“He hasn’t woken up, and there is a chance he won’t, at least not for a while.” He diverted his gaze.Lifting the covers off me, I climbed out of bed. Walking a few feet to Dominic’s bed, I sat beside him. As I had done with my father, I held his hand in mine. I said nothing, afraid I would start crying if I tried.“Hayden?” Jack’s voice came from the door, so I turned to look at him.“What is it?”“Your father woke up.” Jack’s eyes moved from me to Dominic and back again. “If you want to stay here, I can tell him you won’t return now.”“No. It’s okay.” I placed Dominic’s hand back on the

Hayden-Over the next couple of days, news about Dominic’s condition blew up. Other than the day Lexus announced he would hold a press conference, I haven’t been able to return to Fox Ink. Almost everyone had been fired, including Tristan. Lexus brought over his employees to keep Fox Ink running.I had almost announced that I was the company's largest shareholder, but Tristan suggested I wait. Agent Leo informed me that the press conference was the perfect opportunity to bring Lexus down. I thought I would be able to do something to save Fox Ink from Lexus, but there wasn’t anything I could do.“Isn’t Tristan supposed to be here by now?” My father rolled his chair out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of sandwiches.“I got a text from him an hour ago, informing me he would be late.” I leaned back on the couch, crossing my legs under me.“Any news about how Dominic is?” He placed the plate on the couch next to me.I had a craving for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so my father want
