From Fake Wife To Untouchable Heiress Chapter 61
Brian's POV The moment I stepped into the security office, I knew something was wrong. The man sitting across the table wasn't nervous. He wasn't angry. He wasn't trying to escape. He was… relaxed. Almost amused. Two security guards were standing behind him. His hands were cuffed in front of him. Yet he was sitting there as if he was waiting for an old friend.I closed the door behind me. “Leave us.”The guards hesitated. “Mr. Adrian—”“I said leave.”They exchanged a glance before stepping outside. The lock clicked. Now it was just the two of us.The man smiled. “Took you long enough.”I didn't respond. Instead, I pulled a chair across from him and sat down. “Name.”He shrugged. “You can call me Daniel.”“You can tell me your real name.”“I could.” He leaned back. “I’m not going to.”Fine. “We found a camera in your possession.”“You did.”“You were photographing Ms. Harper.”“I was.”Still calm. Still cooperative. None of it made sense. Most people would deny, panic or ask for a la

Daphne's POVI never thought I’d walk through these doors again. The Carter estate looked exactly the same. The marble staircase. The crystal chandeliers. The portraits lining the hallway. Nothing had changed. Except me. The last time I stood here, I was Vincent Carter’s wife. Tonight, I was the woman who owned the company he once ruled.The irony wasn't lost on either of us. A member of the staff opened the dining room doors. Every conversation inside stopped. Every eye turned toward me. I straightened my shoulders and walked in. No hesitation. No apology. If this dinner was meant to intimidate me, Vincent had invited the wrong woman.Vincent rose from his chair with a practiced smile.“Daphne.”“Vincent.”His gaze lingered for a moment. “You look well.”“I’ve had good teachers.” A few people around the table exchanged awkward glances. They knew we were sparring. They just didn't know with what.Brian was already seated. Our eyes met a for a brief second. He started to stand. I sim

Brian's POVMy phone started vibrating before sunrise. I didn't bother checking the caller ID.I’ve had enough surprises for one week.“Brian.” My assistant’s voice came through immediately. “Mr. Carter’s office has issued invitations.”I rubbed a hand across my face. “Invitations?”“Yes.”“To what?”“A private dinner.”I frowned. “For investors?”“No.”“For family.”That got my attention. “Family?”“That’s how it was described.”The line went quiet. Then she added carefully, “Your name was on the guest list.”An hour later, the envelope was sitting on my desk. Heavy cream cardstock. Gold lettering. Very Vincent. I opened it. Vincent Carter requested the pleasure of your company for a private dinner celebrating new beginnings. Attendance requested. New beginnings.I almost laughed. Vincent had never celebrated new beginnings. He celebrated victories. Which meant he thought he’d already won.Across town…Daphne's POVI stared at the invitation twice before setting it down “A family din

Brian's POVThe moment I saw Vincent, I knew something was wrong. Not because he was here but because of the way he was looking at me. Vincent had always been predictable. He was arrogant when he was winning. Defensive when he was losing. Angry when he was cornered. Tonight he was none of those things. Tonight he was calm. And that worried me. Because calm Vincent was dangerous Vincent.Across the ballroom, our eyes met. Neither of us looked away. Then he smiled. It was a small smile but the kind that says I know something. The kind I hated. I excused myself from a conversation and moved toward him. The crowd parted naturally. Investors. Politicians. Executives. Nobody noticed the tension. Nobody realized they were watching two brothers preparing for war.“Enjoying yourself?" Vincent asked.“No.”His smile widened. “That’s unfortunate.”I studied him carefully. “What do you want?”“Can’t a brother say hello?”“No.”He laughed. At least we were being honest. For a few seconds neither o

I stared at the pregnancy report one last time before locking it inside my desk. Out of sight. Not out of mind. Definitely not out of mind.The last twenty-four hours had felt unreal. Every few minutes I caught myself thinking about it. Then I'd spent another one pretending I wasn't but still find myself thinking about it again.Pregnant.The word still didn't feel real. My phone rang. I glanced at the screen. It was my assistant. “Yes?”“Your car is waiting.”Right. The fundraiser. A charity gala hosted by several major investors. One of those events nobody actually wanted to attend but everyone important attended anyway. Normally I’d cancel. Today especially.Instead, I stood up, adjusted my dress, took one last look at my reflection and left. Because the world didn't stop simply because my life has become complicated. Again.The venue was already crowded when I arrived. Crystal chandeliers. Expensive suits. Fake smiles.Millions of dollars standing around pretending to discuss char

I should have stayed home. That was the first thought that crosses my mind as I stared at the stack of documents on my desk. The second thought was that I didn't have time to stay home. Not with everything that was happening. Not with Morrison Holdings still restructuring. Not with reporters digging into every corner of my life. Not with Brian. Especially not with Brian.Three days had passed since I asked him to leave. Three days of silence. Three days of pretending I didn't notice his absence. The annoying thing? I did. I noticed it every time I walked into a room and nobody was waiting with a security briefing. Every time my phone didn't ring with another warning. Every time I found myself wanting to tell him something before remembering I was angry with him. I pushed the thought away.A sharp knock interrupted my concentration. “Come in.”My assistant stepped inside, holding a tablet. She looked concerned. “There’s a board meeting in twenty minutes.”“Fine.”“And lunch.”I blinked

Daphne's POVBrian didn't answer my question immediately. That alone told me enough. “When exactly did you enter my life, Brian?”The silence stretched between us. It wasn't awkward, it was measured. His eyes stayed on mine, calculating carefully like he was deciding which version of the truth wou

Three hours earlier—Gunfire shattered the rear windshield of Brian’s SUV.“Move!” his security driver shouted.Another vehicle slammed into them from the left. Brian grabbed the steering wheel as the driver lost control momentarily. Two more shots rang out. Everything was professional and controll

Vincent didn't wait, he didn't call either. He walked straight into Brian’s office and shut the door hard enough to get attention.“What did you do?”Brian didn't look up immediately.That alone set Vincent off.“What. Did. You. Do?” Vincent repeated, stepping closer.Brian set the file in his hand

Brian's POVControl only worked if every piece moved where it was supposed to. That included people. Especially people.I didn’t act alone. I never did. Some moves required positioning from more than one side. That was how you made something hold.He was already in place. Already useful. Already ex
