He Made Me Sign Away My Daughter Chapter 28
Isabella’s POV“Someone inside my legal team is talking to Mara,” I said.Chloe shut the office door behind her. “Melissa knew about Thursday’s session before the notice went out. We need to find out how.”“Freeze access to the board papers. No one gets another copy without my approval.”Chloe sat at her laptop. “I will ask the firm to check the access records.”“Quietly. If we warn the person, they will cover their tracks.”“Should I contact your lawyer?”“Yes, but tell him we need facts before we make an accusation.”My phone rang. Mr. Grant, my lawyer, was calling.“Ms. Hart, Doyle has announced a press conference,” he said. “He claims you forced him to sell his shares.”“He signed the agreement before a notary. He had independent legal advice.”“I know. We have the documents. But the accusation is already being sent to news outlets.”“Who arranged the press conference?”“We are checking. I want you to send me every email and payment record connected to his sale.”“I will. Do not r

Isabella’s POVLily held my hand while everyone gathered around the cake again, and for a few minutes I let myself believe the day might end without another fight.“Can I blow out the candles now?” she asked.“You already blew them out,” I reminded her. “Do you want us to light them again?”“Yes, please. I did not get to count loudly enough the first time.”Lucas laughed. “Then we will count so loudly that the neighbours hear us.”Lily giggled. “They will think it is their birthday too.”“Maybe they will come asking for cake,” Chloe said. “We should hide the last piece.”Lily covered the plate with both hands. “No. This is mine.”“Then I suppose we had better protect it,” Lucas replied.The second round of singing was louder, and Lily blew out the candles with one quick breath. When everyone clapped, she looked around as if she could not believe the room was full of people celebrating her.“What did you wish for?” Chloe asked.“I cannot tell you,” Lily said. “It will not happen if I t

Isabella’s POVLily’s arms stayed around my neck for only a few seconds, but I held on carefully, afraid that even a small movement might make her pull away.“Can I see the cake?” she asked when she stepped back.“Of course,” I said. “It is your cake, and you get to choose the first slice.”“Even before Daddy?”“Especially before Daddy.”She smiled, then glanced toward Mara. The smile faded a little.“Am I allowed to eat it?”I kept my voice calm. “It is your birthday. If you feel well and your father agrees, I do not see why not.”Mara walked closer. “Lily, you know sweets upset your stomach.”“They do not,” Lily said. “Not if I only have a little.”“Do not argue with me.”Lily lowered her eyes. I saw her fingers twist the hem of her dress, and the sight made my hands curl at my sides.“Please do not scold her for asking,” I said.Mara turned on me. “You have been here five minutes. Do not tell me how to raise her.”“Then do not make her afraid to ask for a piece of birthday cake.”T

Isabella’s POVThe blue dress lay across my bed while I stood in front of the mirror, unable to decide whether it looked right.Lucas leaned against the door with a gift bag in his hand. “You have been staring at that dress for ten minutes.”“I am trying to decide if it is too much.”“It is a blue dress, Isabella. It is not a speech to the board.”“I do not want Mara to say I came dressed to show off.”“She will find something to say whatever you wear.”I lifted the dress from the bed. “That is meant to make me feel better?”“It is meant to save you another twenty minutes.” He smiled, then held up the gift bag. “Chloe helped me choose these. A drawing set, a storybook, and a little science kit.”I stopped moving. “You remembered that Lily liked drawing?”“You told me she used to draw houses with gardens around them. You said she wanted to know how every little thing worked.”“She asked questions all day. Sometimes I could not finish breakfast before she had asked why the sky changed c

Isabella’s POVI let the phone ring twice before I answered. I wanted Mara to wonder whether I had been waiting for her call.“Hello, Mara.”“Where is Priya?” Mara asked. Her voice sounded sharp, but I heard something uneasy beneath it.“She isn’t available,” I replied. “You can speak to me.”“Who is this?”“Someone who knows you have been changing Lily’s schedule whenever I am meant to see her.”There was a short silence. I heard a door close on her end of the call.“You know nothing about my family,” Mara said.“Then explain why Lily was taken to a dentist during a visit that had been arranged for weeks. Explain why her swimming lesson was moved the day before I arrived. Explain why she was suddenly too tired to come downstairs last Sunday.”“A child needs routine,” Mara replied. “She does not need strangers appearing whenever they please.”“I am her mother.”“You gave up that right when you left.”My fingers tightened around the phone. I had heard those words in my nightmares, but

RANEThe house was quiet in the particular way it only got after ten o'clock, when the staff had gone and the radiators ticked instead of talked. Rane stood in the hallway outside Mara's study with a glass of whisky he hadn't touched and a key in his pocket he'd had cut eight months ago, back when he still told himself it was for emergencies.He tried the handle first, out of some leftover instinct toward honesty. Locked."Since when do you lock your own study, Mara?" he said to the empty hallway, and didn't like how his voice sounded saying it — thin, almost hurt, like a man rehearsing a line for later.He let himself in.The desk lamp threw a cone of amber light over papers she'd left stacked with her usual precision — invoices, a printed itinerary for Geneva, a birthday card she hadn't sent yet. He wasn't looking for any of that. He was looking at the bottom drawer, the one that never used to lock, the one he'd watched her test twice last week with her thumb before glancing over he

ISABELLASIX YEARS LATER…"You need to eat something," Lucas said from the doorway. "Isabella. I'm serious. You haven't touched anything since yesterday.""I'm still fine.""You said that an hour ago.""Because it was true an hour ago.""Isabella." His voice dropped, not angry. Just firm. "Look at

ISABELLA"Mrs. Blackwood," the nurse said, leaning close to my ear. "She's here. Your daughter is here. She's beautiful and she's healthy. Just breathe."I was twenty-four years old and I was lying flat on a hospital bed, drenched in sweat, still trembling from the delivery. The room smelled like a

ISABELLA"Miss, Are you taking the company away from us?" she asked, and her voice was so small and so serious that I forgot, for a full second, how to stand upright.I turned.She was six years old. White dress, white shoes, two neat braids. She was holding a gift box with both hands the way child

ISABELLA“What do you think you are doing?” Rane said, his voice deep.I smiled slowly. “And what does it look like? Are you shocked? Surprised? Or outsmarted?”"We need to talk," Rane said. His voice was low enough that only I could hear it. "Isabella, now and private."He had reached me before se
