Adrian once believed that if he could make me disappear, everything attached to my name would become available.
My shares.
My authority.
My company.
My future.
He misunderstood what mattered most.
Mercer Holdings could have been rebuilt even if we lost money.
Property could be purchased again.
Contracts could be renegotiated.
The one thing he had no right to take was my life.
And in the end, he failed at that too.
I went into Evermere River believing my husband was beside me.
I came out knowing he had never really been there at all.
But I also came out with something I had not possessed before.
The truth.
About Adrian.
About Vanessa.
About my parents.
About Noah.
And eventually, about myself.
