Amara's POV
The shock hit me first, then instinct kicked in. I had my people dig into Vancourts's background immediately, and what they uncovered made my blood run cold.
Fate had a sick sense of humor.
Vancourts was Dominic's sister.
Well, not by blood exactly.
When Dominic's father remarried, it was a second marriage for both parties. Each brought baggage—kids from their previous relationships.
Vancourts belonged to Dominic's stepmother and her ex-husband.
She'd only taken the Vancourts name after her mother walked down the aisle into wealth.
I sat back, weighing my options carefully.
The smart play? Act like I'd never seen that damning interview.
Why would I risk everything just to protect my reputation? That would be beyond stupid.
Besides, Dominic had resources. He probably already knew Cosmogony was connected to those counterfeit bills flooding the conflict zones.
