BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 81: THE LAST PIECE OF THE PUZZLE
I couldn't sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, the image of the photograph flashed behind my eyelids. Richard standing outside the old estate. The unidentified man standing stiffly beside him. The stark number seventeen scrawled across the back in black ink. And Hayden's voice echoed in my head, repeating the same infuriating phrase he always used when I asked about my past: I gave your father a promise.I had spent the entire night trying to talk myself out of it, trying to find any other rational explanation for what I'd uncovered.There wasn't one.Someone had been actively guarding Arora Vance long after the world believed she was dead. Someone Richard had trusted with his life. Someone Hayden knew intimately. And whoever that man was, he’d been close enough to my life to become invisible.By seven the next morning, my mind was made up.I was going back to the property. Alone.I knew Hayden would strongly object to the idea. That precisely explained why I didn't tell him. I pulled
BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 80: THE MAN WHO CAME TOO CLOSE
By nine the next morning, I had already decided I wasn't going to ignore Damian Kade.Not because I was afraid of what he might uncover. Because I wanted to know what he already knew.I stood in front of the full-length mirror, fastening the final button on my silk blouse while Hayden watched me from the bedroom doorway.“You're thinking too loudly again.”I glanced at him through the glass. “You seem to have developed an unfortunate habit of pointing that out.”“Because you make it impossible to ignore.”I turned around to face him. “I'm going to see Damian.”His expression shifted instantly, his posture tightening. “Why?”“Because he wants something.”“And you think walking straight into his office will tell you what it is?”“I think refusing to meet him will tell me even less.”Hayden pushed off the doorframe and walked slowly toward me. “You don't have to go alone.”“I know.”“That wasn't a suggestion, Lyra.”I offered a faint, humourless smile. “I figured.”He stopped right in fr
BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 79: THE WOMAN WHO SHOULD BE DEAD
Ashley closed the heavy office door behind Damian.For several agonizing seconds, neither of them spoke. The chilling photograph of Arora Vance still glowed on the primary monitor, illuminating the dim, quiet room.Damian crossed the floor in two long strides and stared down at the screen. "Show me."Ashley stepped aside, letting him study the image in silence. In the picture, Arora stood beside Richard, caught mid-laugh, looking impossibly young, vibrant, and alive.Damian’s jaw worked, a muscle ticking violently in his cheek. "Where did you pull this from?""The original personnel archive.""And the breach?""Someone bypassed the firewall using a restricted administrative backdoor.""Could it trace back to Richard's old security detail?""Maybe," Ashley murmured, bringing up the access logs. "Except the login originated from deep inside Kade's internal network."Damian narrowed his eyes at the cold data points. "How long was the file exposed?""Less than two minutes.""And after tha
BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 78: THE NAME INSIDE THE SYSTEM
Ashley stared at the glowing access report on her office screen.The name was still there, stark and impossible.ARORA VANCE - DECEASED.She had expected another routine financial audit. Another forgotten corporate document. Another hidden piece of Richard Vance's extensive past that might help explain why his private security network had remained active long after his death.She certainly hadn't expected anyone to breach the file from deep inside Damian Kade's private enterprise network. Ashley checked the timestamp again. Two minutes ago.Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she pulled up the internal access trail. The login credentials belonged to a restricted administrative channel, one that should have been entirely invisible to ordinary employees.She frowned, her eyes narrowing at the empty data fields. "Who are you?"She searched the authentication history. Nothing. The system registered a successful login without a single identifiable user ID. Someone had systematically sc
BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 77: THE MAN IN THE PHOTOGRAPH
Lyra’s eyes fell on the final photograph in the folder.It had been taken only weeks before Richard Vance died. Lyra was standing outside Vance Biotech beside her father, younger and completely unaware of what was coming. Richard had one hand resting on her shoulder.But it was the third person in the photograph who held her attention.A man stood several feet behind them, his face turned partly away from the camera, leaving only a partial profile visible. He wore ordinary clothes, nothing that suggested security or wealth. If Lyra had seen the picture years ago, she wouldn't have noticed him at all. Now she couldn't look away."Hayden."She felt him grow still beside her. Turning the photograph over, she found four words written in her father's hurried handwriting: He knows what to do.Her stomach tightened. She looked up at Hayden. "You've seen him before."It wasn't a question. Hayden's expression shifted just enough to confirm it."Hayden.""I've seen the photograph before.""That
BETRAYED BY MY FIANCE; REBORN AS HIS OBSESSION CHAPTER 76: THE HOUSE HE LEFT BEHIND
Hayden stopped the car several meters from the property. Neither of them spoke.The house stood behind a rusted iron gate, nearly swallowed by overgrown trees. The windows were dark, and the peeling walls showed years of neglect. But fresh tyre tracks cutting through the mud told a different story. Someone had been here recently.Lyra stared through the windshield. “This place was supposed to be abandoned.”Hayden looked at the tracks. “It was.”“Then someone changed that.” He reached for the handle. “Stay close.”She gave him a sharp look. “I can take care of myself.”“I know.” He pushed the door open. “I'm still staying close.”She almost smiled.They stepped out into the cold, still air. Hayden checked the perimeter before forcing the gate open with a low metallic groan. Lyra followed him up the weed-choked path.The structure was smaller than she expected, completely stripped of any outward sign connecting it to Vance Biotech or Richard. There were no cameras, no visible alarms, n
