I Married My Mother's Secret Lover Chapter 61: The Instruction Without a Name
I read the anonymous message again before handing my phone to Reed.The envelope was not meant to be transferred with the records. Daniel was told to keep it separate. Ask him who gave him that instruction.Daniel had already admitted that someone approached him near reception after his meeting with the project governance representative. The person had no visible identification and told him that additional documents concerning the identity references should not be included in the transfer inventory until the controller’s office decided how to handle them.It was an important detail, but Daniel couldn't remember whether he had been carrying an envelope at the time or whether the instruction referred to something he received later."Can you remember anything else about this person?" Reed asked.Daniel shook his head. "Not much. I remember the voice, but not the face. They spoke quietly and seemed familiar with the procedure. I assumed they worked for the secretariat.""Did they know you
I Married My Mother's Secret Lover Chapter 60: The Envelope Nobody Recorded
Daniel kept staring at the final page of the notebook as if the words might rearrange themselves into something less damaging if he looked at them long enough. Reed had enlarged the photograph, adjusted the contrast, and compared the handwriting with several earlier entries, but the sentence remained unmistakable. Someone had left an envelope after the meeting, and Daniel had recorded that it was not included in the transfer inventory. The note was brief, almost careless, yet it raised a question none of us could ignore: if Daniel had received something important enough to record, why had he never mentioned it, and where was it now?“I need a moment,” Daniel said.Amelia turned away from the window. “You have had years.”“I understand why you're angry, but I genuinely don't remember what happened to that envelope.”“Then start with what you do remember. Did the man leave it with you, or did you find it after he had gone?”Daniel rubbed his forehead, looking exhausted. “I remember the
I Married My Mother's Secret Lover Chapter 59: The Meeting Before the Transfer
Daniel arrived at Adrian’s office at nine the following morning with the original letter locked inside a document case and the small notebook tucked beneath his arm. He came alone, refusing Reed’s offer to collect the materials from his house, and looked as though he had spent the night arguing with himself about whether bringing them to us was the right decision. Amelia stood when he entered, but she did not cross the room to greet him, and Daniel seemed to understand that whatever relationship they had shared before the truth began surfacing could not simply be resumed because he had finally decided to cooperate. He placed the case on the table between us and kept his hand resting on its handle for several seconds before letting go.“I haven't opened the notebook since I found it,” he said. “The letter was inside a separate folder, and the folder was inside the locked cabinet. I thought I'd kept it because I was supposed to retain proof of the instructions I received, but I can't ho
I Married My Mother's Secret Lover Chapter 58: The Letter He Kept Daniel's letter
Daniel's letter arrived at 8:16 that evening, but I knew something was wrong before Reed finished opening the files. There were three photographs of the same document, each taken from a slightly different angle, followed by a scanned copy Daniel had managed to retrieve from an old encrypted folder. The paper was yellowed around the edges, and a faint crease ran through the middle, suggesting it had been folded and unfolded several times before being placed in storage. Daniel had written a short message explaining that he had kept the original in a locked cabinet at home, separate from the administrative files he had transferred to the project controller's office. He had not touched it in years, he said, and had only remembered its location after Amelia questioned him. I read his message twice, then looked at Adrian. "He says he kept it because he thought someone might eventually ask why the correspondence had disappeared." "That is possible," Adrian replied. "But we should not confuse
I Married My Mother's Secret Lover Chapter 57: The Request That Disappeared
The second request existed. Reed found it in a secondary archive maintained by the trust's former records contractor. It had been submitted four days after Daniel's first request, with a subject line that immediately caught my attention: Request for Original Suspension Authority and Identification of Authorizing Officer. "Daniel wasn't satisfied with the first answer," I said. Adrian studied the screen. "He wanted the original order and the name of the person who authorized it." "Where is the request?" Amelia asked. "The registration entry survived, but the attachment is missing," Reed explained. "There's also a response field marked unavailable. We don't yet know whether the document was deliberately removed or lost during migration." Catherine examined the timestamp. "He was asking who suspended the restoration review and whether that person had the authority to do so. That's important." Amelia looked troubled. "Why didn't he tell us?" "We should ask him before deciding what
I Married My Mother's Secret Lover Chapter 56: The Copy He Never Mentioned
I did not sleep that night, not because I believed the anonymous message, but because I could not stop thinking about the difference between what Daniel had told us and what the message claimed he had done. He had admitted accepting an administrative appointment, authorizing payments, and signing a receipt for materials transferred to the project controller’s office. He had also admitted requesting a copy of Administrative Order 17-B, the order that suspended the restoration review three days after Edmund signed the authorization intended to restore our original identities. Yet he had not mentioned receiving a notice, retaining correspondence, or keeping any record of the suspension. That omission might have been an ordinary failure of memory, a deliberate attempt to conceal something, or precisely the kind of gap our anonymous sender wanted us to interpret as guilt.Adrian was awake beside me when I finally turned away from the window. His office lights had remained on for most of th
