The screen still showed Richard in the hospital bed. Someone stood behind him, keeping him unconscious.

Olivia’s panic rose at once. Her mother told her not to react emotionally; the person behind Richard wanted her frightened enough to make a mistake.

The voice from the screen gave a single instruction:

“Olivia chooses who leaves this house.”

Then the screen went dark.

Olivia realized the enemy had deliberately trapped everyone together.

A new message appeared.

  • HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE    CHAPTER 50: THE FACE IN THE PHOTOGRAPH

    Olivia, Lucien, Michael, Adrian, Richard, and her mother gathered around the wedding photograph. Olivia focused on the partially hidden figure. She recognized the clothes, the posture, and most importantly the ring. She had seen that ring many times throughout her life. Yet she refused to accuse anyone without proof. Lucien agreed. “We don’t destroy someone’s life because of a memory. We find the evidence first.” The words showed how far he had come from the man who once judged Olivia without proof. Lucien searched the original wedding records. He discovered that the mysterious person was not listed among the official guests, yet they had access to the private area of the ceremony. Someone had given them special clearance. The authorization came from an Ashford executive. Lucien recognized the signature. It belonged to someone he had trusted completely. He refused to speak the name until the records were fully verified. Olivia’s mother examined the photograph. She reco

  • HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE    CHAPTER 49: WHERE THEY KEPT HER

    Olivia’s mother identified the location as an abandoned Ashford-owned psychiatric facility that had been used in secret years earlier. She explained that she had been held there after she was taken from Olivia. The revelation horrified Olivia. She asked how her mother had survived. Her mother said she was kept alive because the people holding her believed she knew where Jonathan had hidden the evidence. She never gave them the information. She also revealed something important: Richard had been one of the people who tried to rescue her. Olivia realized her father never stopped looking for her mother. Adrian confirmed that the facility still had an active power supply. Someone was inside. Lucien prepared a team to enter. Olivia insisted on going. Her mother refused to let her enter alone. “I spent years imagining the day I’d see you again,” her mother said. “I’m not letting you walk into that place alone.” Olivia agreed. For the first time, mother and daughter faced dange

    The screen still showed Richard in the hospital bed. Someone stood behind him, keeping him unconscious. Olivia’s panic rose at once. Her mother told her not to react emotionally; the person behind Richard wanted her frightened enough to make a mistake. The voice from the screen gave a single instruction: “Olivia chooses who leaves this house.” Then the screen went dark. Olivia realized the enemy had deliberately trapped everyone together. A new message appeared. Olivia must choose between staying with her mother or returning to the hospital to save Richard. If she refused to choose, the person holding Richard promised that both would die. Olivia refused to accept the choice. She told Lucien they needed another way. He immediately began searching for an exit. Her mother said this was exactly how the enemy had controlled them for years creating impossible choices and waiting for fear to make the decision for them. Olivia finally confronted her mother. She asked why

  • HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE    CHAPTER 47: THE HOUSE WHERE SHE DISAPPEARED

    Richard was visibly shaken when Olivia said she wanted to go to the abandoned Ashford property. He told her that the place was where everything had changed. Years earlier her mother planned to escape through that property with Olivia, but someone betrayed them. Richard insisted the recent message could be a trap designed to make Olivia repeat the same mistake. Olivia understood the danger, yet she refused to ignore the photograph of her mother. “If she’s alive,” she said, “I can’t sit here and wait for someone else to decide whether I’m allowed to see her.” Lucien agreed to help her. Olivia made one condition: nobody would make the decision for her. Lucien accepted. Olivia, Lucien, Michael, and Adrian traveled toward the property. Richard remained at the hospital; moving him would be too dangerous. Before Olivia left, he gave her one final warning. “If you see your mother, don’t ask her why she left. Ask her who made her leave.” The sentence stayed with Olivia througho

  • HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE    CHAPTER 46: THEY FOUND HER

    Olivia stared at the message on her phone. “Tell Olivia’s mother we found her daughter.”She looked around the hospital corridor, suddenly aware that someone could be watching them from inside the building. Lucien took the phone and studied the photograph. It had been taken from a position that should have been inaccessible to the public. Someone had access to the hospital. Richard became frightened at once. He told Olivia they needed to leave. She refused. “I’ve spent my entire life running from a truth I didn’t even know existed. I’m not running anymore.” Lucien contacted security and ordered the hospital entrances monitored. Michael checked the security footage and discovered that the person who photographed Olivia had entered using an old access card belonging to a former Ashford employee. The employee had disappeared years earlier. Someone connected to the old conspiracy was still operating. Before they could identify the intruder, the hospital suddenly lost power. Em

  • HE MARRIED ME FOR REVENGE    CHAPTER 45: THE QUESTION RICHARD WAS AFRAID TO ANSWER

    Olivia rushed back to the hospital with Lucien. Richard was awake but extremely weak. The moment he saw her, he asked, “Did you find her?” Olivia froze. He was not asking about Adrian. He was asking about her mother. She demanded answers. Richard looked at Lucien and Michael before saying he wanted to speak to Olivia privately. She refused to leave until he told her the truth. Olivia played Adrian’s recording. Richard recognized the voice at once. His expression changed. He finally admitted that Olivia’s mother had survived the night she disappeared. Olivia was devastated. She asked why he had allowed her to believe her mother abandoned her. Richard said he had been trying to keep her alive. Olivia’s reply was sharp. “You didn’t protect me from the truth. You protected the people who lied to me.” Richard had no answer. For the first time she saw genuine shame in her father’s face. Richard explained that after her mother was taken, he and Jonathan spent years trying
