Chapter 1 — The Waitress Who Knew Too Much
The night Nova Vance walked into Lincoln Vale’s world, she thought she was saving a child.
She didn’t know she was reopening a murder case.
After bringing Leo home, Nova discovered the Vale mansion was not a home.
It was a fortress.
Every hallway had cameras.
Every door had security locks.
Every person inside carried secrets.
But the strangest thing was Leo.
The little boy who had cried for three years straight barely spoke.
Until Nova arrived.
The next morning, Lincoln entered Leo’s room and stopped.
For the first time in years...
his son was asleep peacefully.
And beside him was Nova.
Sitting in a chair.
Still wearing her waitress uniform.
Protecting him.
Lincoln stared.
“Why do you care so much?”
Nova opened her eyes.
“Because someone should have.”
The words hit harder than any weapon.
Because Lincoln knew.
Someone had failed his son.

Someone had failed Elena.
And he was starting to wonder if he was that person.
