From Fake Wife To Untouchable Heiress Chapter 58
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

Vincent Carter had not slept. Not after reading the DNA results. Not after realizing the child growing inside his wife belonged to someone else. Not after seeing the name attached to the report.Brian Adrian. His brother. His own brother. The irony was almost funny. Almost.For years they had worked together. Planned together. Built schemes together and now Brian had managed to betray him in the one way Vincent never imagined. Vincent stood in his office staring at the city below. The report remained on his desk. Folded. Hidden. Waiting.He hadn’t confronted Rumbidzai yet. There was no rush. A weapon was more useful when the other person didn’t know you were holding it. His phone rang and he answered immediately. “What?”The voice on the other side sounded nervous.“Sir… they’ve found her.”Vincent froze. “Who?”A pause. Then:“Your daughter.”Across the city, chaos erupted. Police vehicles surrounded a local station. Reporters had arrived within minutes. Security teams flooded the ar

The drive back from my mother’s house was quiet. For once, I didn't answer any calls or emails. I didn't review reports. I didn't think about acquisitions. I just drove and did some thinking.My father loved my mother. He searched for us. He never abandoned us. Someone made sure we stayed apart.Then, years later, after finally finding me, he left a warning. A warning I should have listened to much sooner. Don’t trust the people who suddenly want to protect you.The words had been repeating themselves in my head for hours. Again and again, and again. By the time I reach the estate, I’d made my decision. Not out of anger. Not out of revenge but out of necessity. Because every time I discovered a new truth, Brian was standing somewhere in the middle of it. Every single time.I entered the house. The staff greeted me. I barely heard them. Then I saw him. Brian was standing in the living room. Jacket off. Sleeves rolled up. Phone in hand. Probably managing another crisis. His eyes immedia

Daphne's POVI woke up exhausted. Not physically but mentally and emotionally. I was exhausted from all the secrets, from the investigations. Exhausted from everyone deciding for me what I should and shouldn’t know. By ten in the morning, I’d made a decision. There wasn't going to be any board meetings, security briefings or acquisitions. I wasn't entertaining anyone today, from Gabriel Voss, Brian to Vincent. No more drama. I wanted answers. Real answers. So I drove to see my mother.The house looked exactly the same as it did when I was a child. It was still small, quite and ordinary. The kind of place nobody noticed. For years I'd thought it was because we were poor but now I wondered if it was because she wanted us to be invisible. She opened the door before I knocked. As if she already knew I was coming.“Daphne.”I walked inside. We didn't exchange greetings. I wasn't in the mood for small talk either. I went straight to the point, no pretending. “When were you going to tell me?

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

Brian's POV The moment I saw the photograph— I recognized him. Not maybe. Not possibly. I knew him and that should have been impossible. Daphne was still holding the phone. Waiting. Watching me. She noticed everything now. Every hesitation. Every shift. Every lie.“Who is he?” Her voice was cal

Daphne's POV I read the message three times. The words didn't change. I asked Brian what happened the night my father changed his will.A simple and direct question. It wasn't a threat, just a trigger. I lowered the phone slowly. Brian was already looking at it. Not in a confused or surprised way
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 neces
