Divorced At Night, Married By Dawn The Trust's Blind Spot
Chapter 40: ****I could not take my eyes off Adrian. The room had gone completely silent after he told me the trust also recognized the child's legal father."Adrian," I finally whispered. "Are you saying the Ashfords built their entire plan around Ryan being a future father?""Not just biologically.""But legally?"He shook his head. "They never checked."I stood up slowly. "How is that possible?""That is why they've been too focused on the DNA results; they don't really know the implications of what they're doing." He picked up another document from the desk. "The DNA proves Ryan is Ashley's biological father. But it does not erase the legal records that have existed for years.""So they discovered the truth and assumed they had discovered everything.""Yes."For the first time since Ryan found out about Ashley, I felt we were not just trying to survive his demands. We had something they had not planned for.But one thing still bothered me. "Why didn't you tell me before now?"Hi

Chapter 39:****The following morning, Adrian and I sat in his study. I reviewed a list of Victor’s business connections while Adrian scanned the financial reports. While at it, Adrian's phone rang. He looked at the screen before taking the call. I didn't really pay attention until his posture changed. He turned slightly away from me.“Are you certain?” He asked whoever he was on the phone with, “Send everything.”He ended the call and closed the folder.“Was it that contact that refused Victor yesterday?” I asked.“Yes.”“He did not refuse because he wanted out. Someone ordered him to step back.”I frowned. “Who asked him to?”“The Ashfords.”I stood up slowly. “Why would they interfere with Victor?”“That is what I am trying to understand.” Adrian opened his phone again. “There is something else. Ryan’s father recently started moving money into a trust.”“For what?”"For Ashley."“That makes no sense. Why establish a trust for a child he just learned existed?”“I guess he just want

Chapter 38: ****I did not stop walking until I reached the parking lot outside the building. The moment the doors closed behind me, I let out a breath I had been holding the entire meeting.I could not believe he actually asked me to come back to him. After divorcing me on our anniversary night and walking away from our marriage, leaving me to carry the consequences alone. Now that he knew Ashley was his son, he suddenly wanted his family back.It felt very insulting.My phone rang before I could open the door to my car. It was Adrian."Where are you?" he asked the moment I answered."I'm outside the building.""Are you okay?"I looked back at the building. "No, I'm not.""What happened?""I'll tell you when I get home."His voice sharpened. "Elena.""I'm fine, Adrian. Just angry.""I'll be waiting."I entered my car and drove home with Ryan's words replaying in my head the entire way. By the time I walked into the house, Adrian was already standing there, with his arms crossed."Wh

Chapter 37: ****I looked at Adrian. "Why is he asking to see me?""That's what we're going to find out." He took the phone from my hand and read the message again."He even gave a location," I added.Adrian's expression hardened immediately. "You're not going there alone.""I know.""I mean it, Elena. You're not walking into a room with Ryan without knowing exactly what you're walking into.""Yeah! I don't trust him.""Good." He dropped his phone on the table. "Then we prepare accordingly."For the next hour, we went through everything, the location Ryan had chosen, the possible exits, the people around the building, and the timing. Adrian arranged for security to stay close enough to step in if needed without making their presence obvious."You're coming with me?" I asked."No, let's see what he pulls up first.""Then how are you planning to protect me?""By making sure you aren't actually alone." He took my hand. "There will be people nearby. You won't see them, but they'll be the

Chapter 36:****After I ended the call with the lawyer, my heart started pounding so hard that I could hear it in my ears. Whatever happened was serious.I grabbed my bag and left the house without waiting for anyone. I didn't even inform Adrian.By the time I reached his office, he was already waiting with several documents spread across his desk.I walked straight to him. "What happened?"He said nothing at first. He pushed a file towards me instead. I opened it. The first few pages were documents connected to Ryan's paternity petition; it was something I already knew. Then I saw the additional evidence attached behind it, and my eyes stopped moving.Victor's name appeared again and again.I looked up slowly. "What does Victor have to do with this?"My lawyer sighed. "He's supporting Ryan."My stomach dropped. "Supporting him how?""He's providing legal and documentary assistance. Information that strengthens the petition. He's also connected Ryan with people who can push the case

Chapter 35:****All through that night, I couldn't sleep. But Adrian's assurance kept my hope a little alive. Adrian walked into the bedroom from the study and saw me still awake."You're still up?"I nodded calmly."You should get some sleep, Elena. I already told you, this battle is ours. You are never going to fight alone. I'm with you." He reassured me again.I looked at him for a long moment. "Adrian..."He squeezed my hand. "I mean it.""I don't know what we're going to do," I admitted quietly.Adrian sat on the bed. "First, you're going to breathe."I frowned. "This isn't the time to tell me to relax.""It is exactly the time." He lay down beside me and held me tightly. "You've been carrying this whole situation like you're the only one who can protect Ashley. You're not.""You have a company that is barely standing, Adrian.""And I still have a working brain; Ashley is also my son."Despite everything, I smiled a little.Adrian stood up from the bed and walked towards the wi
