Amara looked him in the eye. “I’m not afraid of whoever’s behind this. I made a promise to your wife. And I intend to keep it.”
A week later, an “accident” almost occurred. The twins’ bedroom window had been left open despite strict security protocols, and a violent storm nearly blew it wide open. Daniel’s security detail found no signs of forced entry, but Amara was certain: “It was deliberate.”
Daniel beefed up his security and confronted his closest associate, who had the most to gain if anything happened to him or his heirs. The man’s flustered reaction confirmed it: there was indeed a plot to eliminate the twins from the succession.
Late that night, Daniel found Amara rocking one of the babies. “You saved them,” he said softly. “Not just putting them to sleep, but protecting them in ways I didn’t even see.”
Amara smiled slightly. “I only kept my promise.”
