Chapter 19 - Discovering a hidden leather bound journal left behind by Ethan revealing a much darker corporate conspiracy lurking beneath the surface of their multi billion empire.
Later that night, while the boys slept soundly in the newly restored east wing nursery, Eleanor returned to the private library.
She unlocked the bottom drawer of the mahogany desk, pulling out a dusty leather-bound journal bearing Ethan's handwriting.
It was a personal diary he had kept during his final months before disappearing into the northern wilderness.
Eleanor flipped open the aged pages, her eyes widening as she read entries detailing a massive international syndicate.

The plot went far deeper than family greed, threatening to dismantle the entire foundation of Sterling Enterprises from within.

"So the war isn't over yet..." Eleanor whispered to herself, her jaw tightening with renewed tactical vigilance.
