Seaview City
When Tyrone and Alicia got home, Alicia sank wearily onto the couch, barely kicking off her shoes before stretching out.
Ever since the pregnancy, she'd been exhausted all the time-sleepy, drained, every little thing felt like a chore.
"Tired?" Tyrone asked, ruffling her hair gently as he sat beside her. He started massaging her legs, careful and attentive.
Alicia looked up at him, her voice barely above a whisper. "Tyrone, are you really comfortable handing Lynch Corporation over to Easton?"
Tyrone didn't answer immediately.
The truth was, Easton was still young. Sure, there was the holding agreement they'd signed, but Tyrone knew that once Easton grew up and found his footing, he might not honor that piece of paper. It could get complicated-maybe even ugly.
"He's still a kid. There's no rush," Tyrone said, trying to reassure her.
"But aren't you just raising trouble for the future...?" Alicia murmured, worry etched across her face. In her mind, Easton was every bit as ambitious as Tyrone, another eagle in the making. If one day they weren't on the same side, it could spell disaster.
"Trust the people you use..." Tyrone replied quietly, still choosing to believe in Easton.
Alicia sighed, finally letting it go. She wrapped her arms around him. "If you're willing to believe in him, then I'll believe with you. Even if he changes someday, even if he becomes an enemy, I'll still be here for you."
Tyrone smiled. Her faith warmed him more than she could know.
"Get some rest," he said, brushing her hair from her forehead. "I need to stop by Evercrest Group for a bit."
Alicia nuzzled closer to his chest, then pulled away with a reluctant smile. "Go on, then. I'm heading out too-I need to stop by the school."
He nodded, his expression turning serious. "Be careful. With the Lynch family's assets in my hands now, this fortune could be more trouble than it's worth."
Having money without power wasn't necessarily a blessing-sometimes, it was just a target on your back. Tyrone worried about what kind of dangers that might attract.
Everyone in Seaview City knew he was wealthy now. He needed to find a way to invest the money, to make it seem like he didn't have any liquid assets left. Only then would he be safe from prying eyes.
Alicia nodded obediently. She understood. With Tyrone holding all that wealth but none of the power, there would be plenty of people lining up to try and take advantage of him.
If they couldn't get to Tyrone directly, Alicia knew they'd come for her instead.
Only when every cent had been "lost" or invested would people finally stop seeing Tyrone as a threat.
At Evercrest Group
Tyrone took the private elevator straight up to the executive office. He found Kenney Lockwood mid-conversation with his assistant;

hurried over. "Mr. Lynch, everything settled over in Seaview City?"
Tyrone nodded. "For now."
He was sure Brandon had more up his sleeve.
"That Easton kid's something else," Kenney said with a grin. "He's managed to
steady Lynch Corporation. Real prodigy, that one."
The Lynch family certainly had a knack for producing talent.
"Any movement in Seaview City lately?" Tyrone asked.
"It's been quiet, actually. Evercrest Group's been thriving in the chaos-we've pulled in quite a profit. Lawson & Co. is a mess right now. Vincent Lawson is fighting with his half-brothers for control of Lynch Corporation. He didn't marry Mina Holloway, and now she's teamed up with one of those half-brothers to take him down. It's a real soap opera." Content belongs to
With Lawson & Co. too busy to go after Evercrest Group, Kenney's company had managed to leapfrog them in the market.
These days, Evercrest Group was the rising star of Seaview City, its influence far outstripping the once-mighty Lawson & Co.
"If any of them knew Evercrest Group was yours, they'd probably drop dead from rage," Kenney joked.
Tyrone arched an eyebrow and sat, falling silent for a long moment. "Brandon hasn't
made any moves in Seaview City?"
"It's strange," Kenney admitted.
"You'd think, after you were forced

out of Lynch Corporation and showed up here with that much money Brandon would be worried. You could invest in Evercrest Group or start your own company, so he should have warned all the big players not to help you, or tried to
trick you out of your money... But so far, nothing. He hasn't done a thing.â
