They were bright gold. Almost like liquid amber.
They leaned closer without realizing it.
Just as their faces nearly touched, a rescue helicopter appeared overhead.
The moment vanished.
When they returned to the estate, black flags hung outside the mansion.
Guards surrounded the property.
Eric and Jason stood waiting with dramatic expressions of grief.
“Your father died tonight,” Eric told her.
Then he revealed a document accusing Logan of fraud and poisoning Harold.
Security officers rushed forward and placed Logan in handcuffs.
Victoria shouted in disbelief.
Logan looked back once, calm and steady, before they led him away.
In that moment Victoria understood something clearly.
Choosing him had been dangerous.
But it had also been the first truly right decision she had ever made.
The moment the guards dragged Logan away, the mansion stopped feeling like a home and started feeling like a battlefield.
The accusations from Eric and Jason sounded rehearsed. Too perfect. Too convenient.
The next morning headlines exploded across the country.
Victoria Jameson had married a man now accused of poisoning her father.
Investors panicked. Stock prices dropped.
