Chapter 58
Chapter 58 A Father’s Last GambitFinishedKieran Nethys was not a man used to closed doors. In his world, doors were supposed to swing open at the mere mention of his name, or better yet, at the flash of his money. But lately, doors were not just closing. They were locking. Bolting. Vanishing from the walls altogether.It had started subtly. A golf partner cancelling last minute with a vague excuse about a sore back. A call to a banker about refinancing a loan, only to be put on hold and then gently, politely, told the “climate wasn’t right.” An invitation to a charity auction he’d sponsored for years that somehow never arrived in the mail.At first, he’d brushed it off. Coincidence. Bad luck. The natural fallout from the scandal.But after his magnificent, triumphant press conference, after he had so publicly and graciously reclaimed his daughter and her powerful new husband, the silence should have broken. The phone should have been ringing off the hook. Congratulatory bouquets should have filled the foyer. Instead, the silence had deepened and grown colder.Now, sitting in his too–quiet study, staring at a rejected proposal for a waterfront development–a project that had been all but guaranteed–the cold truth was settling in his gut like a stone. The Valdrises were not just licking their wounds. They were moving. Quietly, methodically, they were building a wall around him.
