\u201cYou never raised him. You don\u2019t get a penny,\u201d Denton snapped. \u201cAnd if you keep pushing, don\u2019t expect me to take care of you when you\u2019re old.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael fell quiet. This trip home had shown him just how brutal Denton could be. If Denton said he\u2019d cut him off, he meant it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael couldn\u2019t afford to lose everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had already buried one son. He couldn\u2019t lose another.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMichael, you need to fight for it. This is your birthright,\u201d the relatives urged, trying to stir him\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana looked right at them. \u201cEven if he gets it, none of you will see a dime,\u201d she said, pulling a report from her purse and laid it on the table. \u201cI\u2019m pregnant. Curtis told me the family has a rule. No one gets told before three months. I\u2019m four months along. This is his child. By Lincoln rules, not only can none of you touch the inheritance, but every branch of the family has to chip in to help raise the baby.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Harold had been generous. He let the side branches live off the Lincoln Group\u2019s success. He gave them support. He built rules to keep the family close. But these people? They took everything and now tore each other apart like scavengers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lincolns stiffened. Not a single one had the guts to speak up again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had come here thinking they\u2019d gain something. Now it looked like they\u2019d walk away empty\u2013handed\u2013and maybe even end up losing money.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you don\u2019t want to chip in, that\u2019s fine. Reporters are still outside. Let\u2019s make it official and cut ties now,\u201d Adriana said as she stood up. She made sure it wasn\u2019t private. She wanted every single one of them to say it in front of the press and Curtis\u2019s portrait. That they were done with\u00a0<\/p>\n
him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The color drained from their faces. The man was dead, after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But none of them wanted trouble later. So they stood up, said the words, and left without another word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michael saw the shift and didn\u2019t stick around. He slunk off fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once the funeral was over, Adriana wiped her face and sat in the living room. She started organizing the things Curtis had left behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDenton, it\u2019s over now. Let\u2019s go. Lily\u2019s waiting for you at home. She doesn\u2019t have a place to stay. You\u2019re all she\u2019s got,\u201d Savannah urged, wasting no time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The house she bought was fully furnished and move\u2013in ready. She had cameras hidden everywhere. The whole place was a trap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that Curtis was out of the picture, Savannah couldn\u2019t wait to catch Denton slipping so she could tighten her grip on Lincoln Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton, your brother\u2019s gone. This house doesn\u2019t have a single man left in it. Those greedy relatives keep showing up, sniffing around for the inheritance. Who knows what they\u2019ll try next? Adriana\u2019s pregnant. She can\u2019t handle everything by herself. You\u2019re the only man left in the family. You need to be here,\u201d Yolanda said, voice low and steady.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton nodded right away. Finally, a good excuse to stay. \u201cMs. Feron, I\u2019m sorry. My brother just passed, and Lincoln Group\u2019s in chaos. I\u2019ve got to be here for my sister\u2013in\u2013law. If I\u2019m not, the execs will use it to stir up drama.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah\u2019s expression cracked, but she had no comeback. She had been the one who pushed to stay close to Curtis. All so she could get a piece of the pie once he died.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even if there wasn\u2019t much left, most of the power players still backed Curtis. She couldn\u2019t afford to look bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine. Just make time to stop by. Lily\u2019s been in a really bad place lately. She needs you,\u201d Savannah said in a sweet, fake voice. Then she glanced at Yolanda and added, louder this time, \u201cGirls like Lily\u2013calm and obedient\u2013are the ones worth marrying.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t bother hiding the dig. She meant girls like Yolanda were the opposite, and she wasn\u2019t a good match for Denton.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton stayed silent. He shot Yolanda a quick look. Yolanda nearly snapped. But she swallowed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as Savannah left, Yolanda slammed the door hard. The sound echoed like a slap across\u00a0<\/p>\n
the the house. \u201cShe\u2019s banned from Adriana\u2019s place. I don\u2019t want her nasty energy stinking up\u00a0<\/p>\n
air.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton bobbed his head fast. \u201cYeah, totally. I won\u2019t let her in again. Adriana, Yolanda, are you hungry? I\u2019ll whip something up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was trying way too hard to be helpful. He darted into the kitchen like it was a getaway. Yolanda, still annoyed but a little embarrassed, followed him in.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana was still in the study, carefully sorting through Curtis\u2018 belongings. She picked up a few\u00a0<\/p>\n

important items and walked over to the safe. She meant to lock them away. Then she froze. She didn\u2019t know the code.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She tried the ones Curtis always used on his phone and apps. Wrong. She tried again. Wrong again. One more try. Still wrong. The screen blinked red. Three failed attempts. The safe would lock itself down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana paused. Her chest rose as she inhaled. She typed in her birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The lock clicked open with a soft, mechanical sound.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She just stood there, stunned. Her hands stayed frozen above the keypad. It took her a long time to snap out of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis had used her birthday as the code.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She opened it slowly. Inside were several folders full of work documents. She didn\u2019t touch them. She wasn\u2019t ready to dig through his business files. She just wanted to place her things inside and close it. But as she leaned down, something at the bottom caught her eye. A photo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It had been taken at the old Lincoln estate in Govendale. Curtis was just a teenager in the picture, sitting next to a big golden retriever. And right next to him \u2026 was a girl with bandages wrapped over her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
