The Arden Family

Eva had been hired by a private investigation firm to spy on a family of New Zealanders who were suspected of murdering their patriarch. As she delved deeper into the family's history, Eva began to uncover some startling secrets. The patriarch had been a wealthy man, with many business interests and political connections. But he had also been involved in some shady dealings, including money laundering and drug trafficking. It soon became clear that the family members had all been vying for control of the patriarch's empire, and that his murder was just the latest in a long line of power struggles. But there was one person who stood out from the rest - his grandson Shad. Shad had been the only person to stand by his grandfather's side throughout all the turmoil, and Eva could see that he was the only one who truly cared about the old man. But for some reason, the rest of the family had disowned him, and he was now living on his own, surrounded by cows on a remote farm. As Eva continued to gather information, she found herself becoming increasingly drawn to Shad. He was a complex and intriguing figure, with a quiet intensity that she found irresistible. But she knew that getting involved with him romantically could jeopardize her investigation, and she tried to keep her distance. Together, they uncovered the truth behind the patriarch's murder, and Shad was finally able to reclaim his rightful place in the family.
