From Fake Wife To Untouchable Heiress Chapter 47
Brian's POVI knew the voice. Not the exact person but the method. Distorted call. Minimal words. Precise target. Designed to destabilize. Not threaten. That was worse.Daphne was still watching me. Waiting.“What investigator?”The question stayed in the room between us.Sharp, demanding but necessary. I moved toward the desk and picked up her phone, checking the number.Blocked. Which was expected. I set it back down.“You need additional security tonight.”“That’s your response?”“It’s the correct one.”Her expression hardened immediately.“No,” she said. “The correct response would be answering me.”I didn't. Not because I couldn't but because timing mattered. And once this part came out—Nothing would slow down after.“The first investigator my father hired,” she said slowly. “What happened to him?”“He disappeared.”There, a piece. Not the full structure but enough.Daphne’s eyes narrow slightly. “Disappeared?”“Yes.”“When?”“Before you were officially brought into the company.”

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 would hurts the least. That irritated me more than if he had lied.We were alone in my office. The city was glowing behind the glass walls. News channels were still running stories downstairs about the kidnapping, the corporate war and the acquisition battle.My face.Vincent’s face.Brian’s face.Every screen in the city wanted something from us.Right now—I only wanted answers. “You accessed my records years ago,” I said. Still calm, still controlled.“You knew about my marriage before I inherited anything.”Brian finally spoke. “Yes.” No excuse. No denial. Just yes.I nodded once, slowly. “Why?”He looked away from me briefly this time. His first mistake. “Because I needed to understand who

Daphne's POVBy sunrise, the scandal belonged to the public. Every major business outlet carried the same headlines.MORRISON HEIRESS LINKED TO CHILD DISAPPEARANCE DURING HOSTILE TAKEOVERCARTER HOLDINGS ACQUISITION UNDER FIREWHO IS REALLY CONTROLLING MORRISON GLOBAL?Daphne read every headline without expression. Then closed the tablet. “Continue the acquisition schedule,” she said calmly.Around the conference table, several executives exchanged uneasy looks. One finally cleared his throat. “Miss Harper… investors are nervous.”“They were nervous yesterday too.”“This situation is different.”Daphne’s eyes lifted slowly. “No,” she corrected. “This situation is louder.”Silence.Mr. Dube hid what looked dangerously close to pride. Across the room, Brian watched her quietly. He remained still and unreadable. That irritated her immediately.Everything about him irritated her lately. The calm. The timing. The way he always seemed prepared before everyone else even realized there was da

By midnight, Morrison Global’s crisis floor looked like a war room. Screens glowed across the darkened space. Market projections. Security feeds. Media alerts.Carter Holdings stock had already started fluctuating after rumors of the child’s disappearance leaked online. Exactly what the kidnappers wanted. Instability, fear and pressure. Brian stood near the glass wall overlooking the city, phone pressed against his ear.“Lock down every remaining Carter server,” he ordered. “And trace the leak source internally before opening external investigations.”“Yes, sir.” The call ended.Another began immediately. “Mr. Adrian,” a board member said nervously, “investors are asking whether the acquisition will be delayed.”“It won’t.”A pause.“With respect, sir, the situation is becoming difficult to contain.”Brian’s eyes shifted toward the conference room across the floor. Daphne was sitting alone inside. Still working. Still reviewing acquisition files.She hadn’t stopped once since the kidn

Nobody spoke after the call ended. The silence inside the boardroom felt wrong now. Heavy. Calculated.Daphne looked from Vincent to Brian, then back to the frozen image of Rumbidzai on the tablet screen.A black SUV. A baseball cap. A familiar face.Vincent swore violently under his breath. “That insane woman—”“Wait.” Brian’s voice cut through the room sharply.Everyone looked at him. He stepped closer to the tablet in Daphne’s hand, eyes narrowing slightly.“Replay the footage.”The technician obeyed immediately. The grainy traffic footage replayed across the screen. The SUV slowed near the east gate. The child climbed inside willingly.Rumbidzai turned slightly toward the camera. Vincent slammed a hand against the table. “She took her.”“Replay it again,” Brian said.Daphne frowned. This time Brian leaned closer toward the lower corner of the screen. Then he pointed at something. “There.”The technician paused the frame. Most people wouldn’t have noticed it. Daphne barely did. The

“The child.”The room went silent after Vincent said the words. For one second, Daphne thought she had misheard him.Then Vincent grabbed his phone harder. “What do you mean she’s gone?” he barked. “Where was security?”Brian moved instantly. “Who took her?”Vincent looked furious. “How the hell would I know?”Daphne was already standing. Her pulse pounded violently in her ears. “No,” she whispered. “No—”The little girl she had raised for years. The child she was forbidden to see. Was gone. Brian caught Daphne’s wrist before she could walk out blindly.“Focus.” His voice was low and controlled. Too controlled.Daphne yanked free. “Don’t tell me to focus.”The boardroom watched the scene unfold in stunned silence while cameras flashed outside the glass walls. Vincent pointed at Brian suddenly. “This is your fault.”Brian’s eyes darkened. “You lost operational authority an hour ago,” he said coldly. “Your security failures belong to you.”Vincent gave a sharp laugh. “Security failure?
