HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE CHAPTER 29: THREE DAYS BEFORE OUR WEDDING
The archive plunged into complete darkness. Olivia’s breath caught as she realized they were trapped. Lucien moved quickly, searching for another exit. He found an emergency door, but it had been deliberately disabled from the outside. “Who could have locked us in?” Olivia asked. Lucien understood at once. Damien still had access to Jonathan’s old security system. A hidden speaker activated. Damien’s voice filled the room. “You wanted the truth. Now you can have it.” He ordered Lucien to explain what happened three days before the wedding. The lights returned. A countdown timer appeared on a monitor. They had limited time. Olivia turned toward Lucien. “Tell me the truth.” Lucien finally admitted that three days before their wedding he received what appeared to be solid evidence that the Carters had been responsible for Jonathan’s death. The documents showed Richard meeting someone connected to Jonathan. Lucien had believed Richard betrayed his family. That conviction
HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE CHAPTER 28: THE MAN WHO SURVIVED
Olivia stared at the photograph of the man standing outside the prison gate. She recognized him immediately from the image found in the abandoned Ashford property. “Who is he?” she asked. Lucien admitted he did not know the man’s exact identity, only that his grandfather’s records mentioned him repeatedly. Victor’s sudden warning left Olivia uneasy. “Why would your father suddenly want me to leave the city?” “Because he knows something,” Lucien answered. Olivia refused to run without answers. She wanted the man’s name. Lucien confronted Victor in person. Olivia insisted on accompanying him. Victor was visibly shocked to see her. He asked at once whether Richard had told her anything. “He told me enough to know you lied to me,” Olivia said. Victor did not deny it. He revealed the man’s name: Damien Vale. Damien had once been Jonathan Ashford’s most trusted security operative. He had betrayed Jonathan and carried out several illegal operations involving both the Carter
HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE CHAPTER 27: THE ALLIANCE THEY HID
Olivia studied the old photograph of Richard and Jonathan Ashford standing side by side, both wearing identical rings. The image overturned everything she had been raised to believe. She asked her mother why the relationship had been kept secret. “Your father made me promise never to speak of it,” her mother answered. Olivia’s voice rose. “You both spent my entire life deciding which truths I was allowed to know.” Her mother admitted she had believed secrecy was the only way to keep Olivia alive. Olivia refused to accept that explanation completely. “Why did they pretend to hate each other?” Her mother did not know the full answer. She only knew that the public feud began after Olivia was born. Lucien examined the photograph more carefully. The date written on the back was only weeks before the Carter–Ashford feud became public knowledge. That meant Richard and Jonathan had still been working together shortly before the families were declared enemies. The history Luc
HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE CHAPTER 26: THE WOMAN WHO GAVE BIRTH to ME
Richard’s heart monitor erupted into a high, continuous alarm the moment the words left his lips. “Your mother.”Olivia stood frozen as the medical team flooded the room. Lucien pulled her back against the wall while doctors worked urgently to stabilize Richard. Machines beeped in frantic patterns. Voices overlapped. Olivia’s mind kept replaying the single phrase until it drowned out everything else. Her mother. The woman who had raised her, comforted her, and only days earlier confessed to years of silence. Olivia refused to accept that the same woman could have ordered her death. Yet Richard’s warning, spoken with such clear terror, made the possibility impossible to ignore. Outside the ICU Lucien asked what Richard had said. Olivia told him. He was shocked, but instead of immediately accepting the accusation he pointed out something crucial. Richard had not said “your mother ordered it.” He had only said “your mother.” Olivia realized the words could carry other meani
HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE CHAPTER 25: THE ORDER TO KILL ME
Olivia remained shaken by Richard’s recorded confession. The words played over and over in her mind: “I took you from the hospital because someone had already ordered your death.” For years she had interpreted his secrecy as distrust. Now she understood it might have been the only way he knew how to keep her alive. She broke down, wondering how many times he had risked everything for her without ever speaking of it. Lucien stayed beside her without offering empty comfort. “Whatever happened before you knew the truth,” he said quietly, “your father chose you.” Olivia’s voice was barely audible. “And I spent years thinking he was hiding things because I wasn’t worth telling.” The realization cut deeper than any of the earlier revelations. Lucien examined the old recording frame by frame. Richard kept glancing toward something just off-camera. They replayed the video until Olivia recognized the painting hanging behind him, the same painting that had once hung in her childho
HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE CHAPTER 24 : THE MAN WHO CALLED FROM MY FATHER'S PHONE
Olivia remained frozen after the call ended. The number displayed on her screen was Richard’s. She checked the call log twice to confirm it. There was no mistake. She wanted to drive to the old Carter house at once. Lucien stopped her. “He specifically ordered you to come alone. That’s exactly why you shouldn’t.” Olivia argued that the caller might know something about her father. “That’s exactly why they want you there,” Lucien said. This time she listened. She refused to walk into another trap without a plan. Before going anywhere they returned to the hospital. Richard remained unconscious. His phone was missing from the bedside table. Someone had physically taken it from the room. Olivia asked the nurse who had last entered. The records showed a staff member signed in shortly before the call was made yet the name belonged to no one currently working in the hospital. Someone had used a stolen identity. The enemy still had access to Richard’s room. Lucien investigat
