Chapter 61 – Eve or Millicent
(Cal’s POV)“Daddy! Daddy!”I could hear Diana’s voice calling me excitedly. She was nowhere near the driveway, not even in the garden. She must be in the foyer, near the staircase, sitting on the first step like she usually does when waiting for me.Sighing, I unfastened the seatbelt and waited for a few seconds, but her voice faded. What could it be that excited my daughter that much?After that argument with Bob, I no longer feel like working today. When I checked my schedule, the only meeting left was with Millicent, so I told her we would discuss her concerns over dinner later tonight.The ding sound from my smartphone caught my attention. My eyes flickered on its screen, and I saw my schedule for tomorrow had been updated. I scoffed, taking my phone but not looking at the message, and got out of the car. Eve said she was under the weather, yet she bothered to do her job.I hated to admit it, but the world seemed to revolve slowly without Eve in the office.My forehead creased wh

Chapter 62 – Taking a Rain Check
(Eve’s POV)I shut my eyes tightly for a moment, hoping to shake off the grogginess of just waking up. Then I saw the time.8: 45 a.m.My heart pounded as if palpitating, and I blinked many times, reaching for my phone to check the time.“Shit!”Seeing Callahan’s name on my phone screen woke me up completely. Sitting up in bed, I furrowed my eyebrows, my mind racing with questions about what he might want. Perhaps he had some clarifications about the schedule I sent him, or maybe something urgent needed my attention.Or maybe… he mistakenly pressed my number.“You’re the least of my concerns,” I murmured and sighed. With my limited time, my goal was set to make my family whole again, and I would start with Ben.Ben was my perfect candidate. Not that I loved him, but he was my only hope to reunite with my twins.

Chapter 63 – There Were Choices
(Eve’s POV)My eyes narrowed, and I smiled sadly as I tried to utter a joke. “The pin to his hidden account in Switzerland?”“Huh? What?” Ben’s eyebrows furrowed as he processed the words.I chuckled, shaking my head. “It’s a joke, Ben. Relax, okay?” I would have been glad if it was true, but my late husband left me with nothing but debts and five children.Ben laughed briefly, the color to his face returning. “Until now, I have still been thinking of Marcus. He was like a brother to me, and I felt I failed him for not being there.”That made me pause, even though I wanted to assure him it was okay. It would not hurt me much if my joke were real, or at least he had thought of me before passing away. Yet Marcus’ last word was not about his love for his children or me, but his best friend’s name.“It’s because you dreamt of him,” I muttered, wanting to tell him that even in death, Marcus was unfair, never showing up in my dreams to at least comfort me.“I hoped it wasn’t a bad sign,” he
