Caitlin flipped to the last two photos. These weren’t taken at the same time or place as the earlier ones–they looked older.

And there it was. Nicoletta and Fletcher, locked in a kiss, their embrace captured in perfect clarity.

That was the brilliance of paparazzi–they could dig out the most private moments no one wanted exposed.

“Yes. Perfect. These two are worth far more than twenty grand,” Caitlin said, a surge of energy rushing through her. At last, she had found Nicoletta’s weak spot. With this in hand, that woman would think twice before making a move against her.

“You all did well. I’ll see to it you get a bonus. Tomorrow everything depends on how smoothly this goes.” Caitlin’s voice carried a sharp edge of confidence, firing up her team.

By the next morning, Magnus had recovered completely. When he saw Caitlin again, gratitude lit his eyes.

“Thanks to you, Mrs. Vanderbilt, I’m fine today.”

“No need for such formality,” Caitlin said lightly. “You can call me by my name.”

Magnus hesitated, then smiled. “If you don’t mind, then perhaps you can call me Magnus as well. I’d like us to be more than formal acquaintances.”

Caitlin blinked at the suggestion, exchanging a quick glance with Sebastian. She smiled, amused. “I hardly deserve such familiarity. Surely it’s not proper for me to be so close to a prince.”

Magnus shook his head. “You saved my life. That makes us closer than most. In my eyes, you’re like family

now.”

Caitlin tilted her head. “Family, is it? Funny–you’re actually two years younger than me. So if anything, I’d have to be the older one.”

Magnus laughed, rubbing the back of his neck, a little embarrassed. “Fair enough. Then from now on, I’ll call you Caitlin, and you can think of me as a younger brother. Deal?”

“Deal, Magnus,” Caitlin said warmly, giving his shoulder a light pat, the way an older sister might.

Sebastian offered no objection. If Magnus wanted to place himself in the role of younger brother, all the better–it meant one less rival to worry about.

After breakfast, Caitlin prepared to leave for the Jonathan estate with her team. Sebastian saw them off at the door.

Once they were gone, Magnus gave a discreet order to his personal aide. The man slipped into Caitlin’s guest room, quietly collecting a few strands of her hair from the bathroom.

At around nine, Caitlin’s vehicle stopped at the grand gates of the Jonathan estate.

Zinnia banged on the gate and addressed the guard. “Go tell your master that his distant relative Caitlin is here!”

The guard’s lip curled in disdain. “Again? Caitlin? Why do you people keep showing up?”

It was obvious Hector hadn’t given orders to expect her. The guard started to close the gate, but Zinnia planted a boot against it and sent him sprawling back inside.

“You little lapdog,” she spat. “You’d better deliver the message. If you waste our time, you’ll pay for it.”

The guard, shaken by her ferocity and her mention of the old master, dared not defy them. “Wait here. I’ll announce it at once.”

Inside the Jonathan residence, Nicoletta was fussing with her daughter’s outfit. Fletcher, Carson, and the others hadn’t left yet.

Liliana was dressed with particular care today. She was meeting the prince for lunch, and her pale cream Chanel–style suit hugged her figure perfectly, showing off her fair skin and delicate beauty.

“My daughter is stunning,” Nicoletta praised with a smile. “You’d look good in anything.”

Liliana returned the smile. “Don’t worry, Mother. I’ll seize the chance today.”

“Good. If you head out early, you’ll have more time with him.”

“I know.”

Just then, a call came in from the gatehouse. Devin picked it up, then turned to Nicoletta. “Madam, the guards report Caitlin is at the gate.”

Nicoletta froze, her pulse spiking. “What? Caitlin? She dares to come here openly?”

Liliana’s brows knitted. “She’s bold enough to show up at our door?”

Nicoletta’s eyes darkened. She looked at Fletcher. Their silent exchange spoke volumes.

Carson, clueless about the family’s feud with Caitlin, asked curiously, “What’s going on? Why would Caitlin come here? Does she have ties to us?”

He remembered Liliana once mentioning Odessa. Out of curiosity, he’d researched Caitlin online. A successful entrepreneur, married with children–she seemed worlds apart from their circle.

Fletcher explained stiffly, “Her grandfather and yours were half–brothers.”

Carson’s jaw dropped. “Really?” He had never imagined he and Odessa were distantly related.

Devin spoke again. “Madam, the guards are waiting for orders. Do you want them to let her in?”

“Of course not.” Nicoletta’s voice was sharp as steel. “Bring more men. Seize Caitlin at once.”

“Yes, ma’am.” The guards were ready to obey-
