“Then why freeze my accounts?” Adrian tried to shift so he was sitting up straighter.

Grant rubbed the back of his neck. “We needed to freeze your whole family’s accounts. If we didn’t, it would have tipped him off.”

Adrian’s face paled. “Shit.”

Kelsey sat up and faced Adrian. “What is it?”

Adrian swallowed the lump in his throat. He didn’t get along with him, but he never would have thought he was a criminal. “My brother.”

Grant nodded. “Your brother, Heath, was on our radar for a while, but we needed more proof and also to see who he was getting orders from. As it turned out, Osborne was the last remaining ringleader. He preyed on students who had just graduated from Blackstone with promises of riches and power."

His brother was in on the plan to kill him and Kelsey. “Did Heath know Osborne gave the order to kill us?”Please say no.

Kelsey squeezed him in a show of support.

Grant shook his head. “No. He was in it for the money. Eighty-three million to be exact. Your brother was in major debt after making a couple of bad deals. He wanted the money to bail himself out. He was visibly upset when he was told you were shot. He thought they were only going to scare you.”

Adrian nodded. “My parents?” Adrian wasn’t close to them, but he felt sick thinking his entire family was in on it.

“As far as we can tell, they had no part in this. All the accounts will be released within a few days, but we’ll continue to monitor your parents just to make sure. We don’t feel that they are a threat in any way.”

“Thanks for coming. Please thank Dominic for me.”

Grant nodded and turned away but stopped at the door. “Things should settle down now. Stay out of trouble.”

Adrian hugged Kelsey close. “It’s over.”

Kelsey pulled away to gaze into his beautiful eyes. “No. It’s just beginning.”
