CHASING THE WIFE HE FORCED TO DIVORCE CHAPTER SIXTEEN: THE DEVIL FINALLY APPEARED
Arthur Blackwood had finally found me.Silence spread across the harbor. Nobody moved nor breathed. I stared at him. This man, this monster, the person connected to my parent's deaths. The reason my life had become a nightmare. He smiled like we were old friends, like he hadn't destroyed countless lives. My stomach turned. "You."The word escaped before I could stop it. Arthur's smile widened."Yes."His voice sounded calm. Too calm."I've wanted to meet you for a very long time."Rage exploded inside me. I stepped forward immediately without thinking. Adrian grabbed my wrist. "Don't."I jerked free."Stop touching me."The words hit him hard. Good. I wasn't interested in his concern. Not anymore. Arthur watched everything carefully. Amusement flashed across his face. "You hate him."I laughed bitterly."What gave it away?"Nobody smiled. Arthur looked at Adrian then back at me. "That's unfortunate."Confusion hit instantly."What is?"His eyes darkened."Because he's the only rea
CHASING THE WIFE HE FORCED TO DIVORCE CHAPTER FIFTEEN: THE WOMAN MY MOTHER DIED FOR
"Your mother died because she chose to save me."The words slammed into me. I stared at her, my hands curled into fists. Anger burned through every part of me."No."My voice came out sharp."No."The woman flinched. Good. For once, somebody else could feel uncomfortable. "You don't get to show up after twenty years and drop something like that."Her eyes filled with guilt. I didn't care. Not anymore. I was tired of guilt, tired of secrets, tired of everybody deciding what I deserved to know. "What happened that night?"The woman opened her mouth then stopped. My patience vanished instantly. "Answer me."Victor stepped forward."Elena."I turned on him immediately."No."My voice echoed across the harbor."Not this time."Nobody interrupted nor moved. I pointed directly at the woman."You."Then at Victor."You."Then Adrian."And especially you."Adrian's expression darkened. I laughed bitterly. "Every single one of you knows something."Silence. Exactly. That was the problem. Al
CHASING THE WIFE HE FORCED TO DIVORCE CHAPTER FOURTEEN: THE TRUTH THEY HID
"Because she knows what your mother discovered before she was killed."The words hit me like a slap. I stared at the stranger, my pulse thundered. For once, I wasn't scared. I was angry and furious. Twenty years of lies, twenty years of secrets, twenty years of people deciding what I deserved to know. I stepped forward. "Where is she?"The stranger looked surprised."What?""The woman."My voice sharpened."The one in the picture."Silence followed. Nobody moved nor interrupted. Good. I was done being treated like a child."Where is she?"The stranger studied me carefully then he smiled."You're more like your mother than I expected.""I asked a question."The smile disappeared. Victor suddenly stepped forward."Elena."I ignored him.My eyes never left the stranger."Answer me."The man folded his arms."She's alive."My stomach tightened. Alive? After all these years? "Where?"He laughed softly."If I knew that, Arthur would already have her."The answer irritated me immediately.
CHASING THE WIFE HE FORCED TO DIVORCE CHAPTER THIRTEEN: THE SECRET THEY KILLED FOR
"But people have been killing for it ever since."The words settled over us like a curse. I stared at Marcus. My chest tightened. Every answer only created ten more questions. "What are you saying?"Marcus looked exhausted. Like carrying this truth had drained him for years. "Our father spent months investigating the Vale family before he died."My pulse quickened."Why?""Because somebody was hunting them."Silence, cold, heavy, dangerous. I swallowed. "Hunting them for what?"Marcus shook his head."Nobody knows."The frustration nearly drove me insane."There you go again."My voice cracked."Nobody knows."I laughed bitterly."Everybody keeps saying that."Marcus looked guilty. For once,he didn't argue. Victor suddenly stepped forward. "I know one thing."Everyone turned toward him. His expression darkened "Whatever Arthur wanted was important enough to destroy entire families."A chill crawled through me. My parents, the Vales, the witness, Vivian and the list. Everything co
CHASING THE WIFE HE FORCED TO DIVORCE CHAPTER TWELVE: THE MAN SHE TRUSTED
Marcus had gone completely pale. My stomach dropped. No! No!! No!!! The thought hit before logic could. I stared at him. Marcus had been there my whole life, he was family, the closest thing I had left to family. He couldn't be involved, he just couldn't. "Marcus?"My voice barely worked. He looked at me then looked away. Fear exploded inside my chest. "Look at me."Silence. My pulse hammered painfully."Marcus."This time I almost shouted it. His jaw tightened still no answer. Something inside me cracked. "Tell me he's lying."The woman frowned."I never said it was him."Nobody cared. Not after that look, not after Adrian's reaction, not after the silence. Marcus dragged a hand across his face. Exhaustion covered every feature. "Elena."I stepped back. The sound of my name felt wrong coming from him like I didn't know him anymore, like I had never known him. "Answer me."My eyes burned."You knew something."Marcus remained quiet. That was enough. Tears gathered instantly not b
CHASING THE WIFE HE FORCED TO DIVORCE CHAPTER ELEVEN: THR TRUTH HE BURIED
I couldn't breathe not because of the smoke, not because of the chaos, because suddenly everything I believed about my parents was falling apart. My mother hadn't died in a random accident. She had been murdered and somehow Arthur Blackwood was connected to it. I looked at Victor. My hands shook violently. "Why?"The word came out broken."Why would Arthur Blackwood want my mother dead?"Victor opened his mouth then stopped. My patience snapped. "No."I stepped closer."Don't do that."His jaw tightened."Elena""No more half-truths."My voice echoed across the harbor."Tell me everything."For a moment nobody spoke then Victor sighed. "Twenty years ago, Arthur Blackwood wasn't just a businessman."A chill slid down my spine."What was he?"Victor's eyes darkened."A criminal hiding behind money."Silence. Marcus cursed softly, Adrian looked away, neither denied it. That terrified me. Victor continued. "Your mother discovered evidence linking Arthur to several illegal operations."
