Chapter 28 - NO MORE EMPIRESFederal agents flooded the pier.

Elias was arrested alive.

That mattered.

Eleanor did not want revenge.

She wanted testimony.

Trials.

Names.

Truth.

Leo ran into her arms.

Julian wrapped both of them inside his embrace.

For several seconds, nobody spoke.

There was no Sterling Global.

No inheritance.

No conspiracy.

Just three people who had nearly lost one another.

Later, Julian stood beside Eleanor.

“I believed what I saw instead of the woman I knew.”

Eleanor looked at him.

“Then remember something.”

“What?”

“Trust isn’t believing me when it’s easy.”

She touched his face.

“It’s believing I deserve to be heard when everything looks impossible.”

Julian nodded.

“I understand.”

Eleanor kissed him.
