Chapter 14:

****

The morning after the Global Trade Summit should have been quiet. It wasn’t.

I woke before sunrise. The house was still, but my mind was racing. Adrian was still sleeping, one arm thrown over the empty space I’d just left. I watched him for a minute, then slipped out of bed.

I walked barefoot to the kitchen, poured black coffee, and stood by the window. The city was waking up. So was the war.

Few minutes later,my phone vibrated on the counter. It was an unknown number.

  • Divorced At Night, Married By Dawn    The Signature I Never Gave

    Chapter 27:****I woke up to Adrian standing by the window; he was on call. I had no idea who he was talking to. But I could tell from his face that something had gone wrong.He ended the call and turned to me. "Kane Global just lost the Ardent contract."I sat up immediately. "What?"Ardent was one of our biggest technology partners. Losing them was not a small setback. It would obstruct three projects already in motion and cost us millions in penalties alone.Adrian walked to the desk and opened his laptop. "They received documents claiming Kane Global falsified some financial records."I stared at the screen as the files loaded. The documents looked real. Too real, but I noticed something off about it.A signature on one of the pages belonged to me."I never signed this, Adrian," I quickly said."I know." Adrian zoomed in on the image. The signature had been lifted from an old contract I signed years ago, copied so precisely that even I would have believed it was mine if I had not

  • Divorced At Night, Married By Dawn    The Weapon They didn't see coming

    Chapter 26:****Ryan barely slept that night. The next morning, he picked up his phone and read the message from the anonymous sender again. "Elena has a son. And he is approximately six years old."Six years.That number kept circling back to him. Not because he remembered Elena being pregnant. He did not. Their marriage had been a total mess even before their divorce.So, as far as Ryan knew, Elena wasn't pregnant, and she had no child. But Elena's boy is six years old, and her marriage with Adrian is yet to clock six years in a few months.So why is this boy six already?He zoomed in on the photograph again. Ashley looked comfortable beside Elena. He looked like a child who had grown up knowing exactly who his mother was.Ryan became extremely restless. "Who is his father?" He asked himself in a low tone. Then he called his investigator. "I want everything you can legally find about this boy.""His name is Ashley," the investigator said. "That is all we have confirmed.""Who is t

  • Divorced At Night, Married By Dawn    The Wrong Question

    Chapter 25: ****Ryan spent the entire night staring at the photograph. Elena and a boy who looked nothing like Vanessa's son, but something about the shape of his eyes felt familiar in a way Ryan could not explain.He pulled out old documents from his marriage; he started comparing dates against the message on his phone. When he divorced Elena, she didn't look like someone who was pregnant. The series of test results we did said she couldn't conceive, so how could she possibly give birth within a short period of time after their divorce?The dates lined up in a way that made his hands unsteady.But something else bothered him more. The photograph looked recent; it was taken within the last year, yet the anonymous message said Ashley was approximately six years old. Whoever sent the message had not just discovered this child yesterday. They had been watching Elena for years, patient enough to wait for the right moment to strike.Ryan called the private investigator who once tracked E

    Chapter 24:****The next day, at the Ashford mansion. Ryan walked into his father's private study immediately after he was summoned.His father didn't waste time; he immediately started pouring his heart. "I don't have any more time; this file here is my will, and apparently, you no longer have an heir."Ryan's throat tightened. "Father, please....""Don't interrupt me." His father's voice stayed cold. "The boy we all thought was yours is not your son. He cannot inherit this family's fortune. He cannot carry the Ashford bloodline, and he cannot become the successor I intended.""I understand.""No, you don't." His father opened the file and removed a document. "I have changed my will."Ryan's face lost its color immediately. "What?""The majority of my companies will no longer automatically go to you."Ryan stepped forward. "Father, please. Give me time.""Time for what?""I will give you a true heir this time." His voice was shaking, but he refused to back down. "A child of my own.

    Chapter 23:****I could not take my eyes off the laptop screen. My hands slowly rose and covered my mouth."No..."Adrian looked at me immediately. "You know him?"I could not answer him. Not because I refused to. Because I could not believe he was still alive.Adrian stood beside me and looked back at the frozen image. "Who is he?"I stared at the screen for several long seconds before I finally found my voice. "His name is Victor Dorian."Adrian frowned. "I have never heard that name before. Who is he?"""I never wanted you to, because I felt it was in the past."I pulled out the desk chair and sat down slowly, and the memories came rushing back. "Years before I met Ryan, before I even became an Ashford, I worked part-time while trying to finish school. My supervisor was Victor. He looked kind. He spoke gently. He treated everyone well. But he was nothing like the man people believed him to be."Adrian remained silent."He became obsessed with me. He said I belonged to him. When I

    Chapter 22:****Ryan drove through the gates of Ashford Mansion with his knuckles white against the wheel. He left the car running and walked straight into Grace's study without even knocking.Grace looked up from her desk, her expression calm, almost expectant. "You saw Leo.""I saw him," Ryan's voice cracked with anger he could no longer contain. "You are the cause of all these things, Mom. You made me marry a woman who was already into another man, just because you wanted to keep the family's legacy."Grace kept the pen in her hand. "I did what was necessary, Ryan.""Necessary?" Ryan slammed his palm on the desk. "I lost Elena because of you. I lost Halberg because of you. Now I've lost Vanessa, and the son I thought was mine belongs to Leo Thorne. My entire life has been a transaction, and you're the one who caused all of these."Grace stood up slowly, unbothered by his anger. "You want someone to blame. Fine. Blame me for the marriage. But do not blame me for what you did with i
