Movers were carrying my clothes and personal possessions outside in black bags.
The second showed my living room.
My father’s portrait had been removed.
Party decorations hung across the walls.
Silas and Beatrice were drinking champagne.
Then Harrison showed me the third photograph.
A young blonde woman stood beside Silas, smiling.
She was pregnant.
And she was wearing my favorite silk pajamas.
“Who is that?” I asked.
Harrison hesitated.
“Her name is Khloe. She’s been involved with Silas for several years.”
I stared at the photograph.
Beatrice stood beside them, holding an emerald necklace.
My father had given me that necklace on my eighteenth birthday.
They hadn’t even waited for my trial to finish.
They’d moved into my home and begun dividing my belongings.
“What about the company?” I asked.
Harrison looked even more concerned.
“Silas has presented authorization documents that give him temporary control of Vance Holdings. We believe some are fraudulent.”
