Chapter 11 - I confront Ronan legally

Everyone expected me to call Ronan.

Invite him somewhere.

Settle it privately.

I did not.

I handed the archive to my attorneys.

They contacted the authorities already responsible for Seraphina’s cold case.

Ronan learned through counsel.

Not through me.

He called anyway.

I answered once.

“Orson.”

“Ronan.”

“This is not what it looks like.”

The same useless sentence.

I said:

“You were at her funeral.”

Silence.

“I carried her coffin.”

“Yes.”

“You stood beside Tilly.”

“I know.”

Then:

“I never ordered her killed.”

“Tell the investigators.”

“Orson—”

May you like

I hung up.

That was the last private conversation we ever had.
