Chapter 53 Ella Carter

• Ella Carter
• The Chicago sky was covered by thick clouds that morning, mirroring the weight I felt as I returned to routine after days of celebration and love. We had just left the Walker headquarters, and Bear, always alert, was accompanying me to college. His eyes scanned the parking lot, analyzing every movement, every face that passed by our car.
• My thoughts were still on the conversation I had with my grandfather. They know practically nothing about the business the Carter family is involved in. Maybe they’re aware of a few of the legal ventures, but knowing that over sixty percent of my husband’s family’s business is illegal, my choice became necessary.
