CHAPTER ONE

Mr. Cavendish

We sped towards Manhattan in a luxurious town car. Stephan and

Javier sat close together, clutching hands, their eyes fixed on me in

concern. James held me close against him, his hands comforting as

they stroked over me.

I’d found out just a few days ago that my father had remarried after

my mother’s death. On the tail of that revelation, I had found out that

I had a half-brother who was just one year younger than I am. That

meant that my father had been with this other woman for years before

my mother had died. Before he had killed her.
