last update Data de publicação: 2026-10-23 04:02:48

"My grandfather is dead."

The words came out before I could stop them. My mother's father had been buried years ago, long before I discovered that my own father's death was no accident, long before Adrian entered my life and turned every explanation I had ever accepted into another question. I remembered the funeral only vaguely, the black umbrellas, the flowers, Victoria's gloved hand gripping mine while people offered condolences. I had been too young to understand the distance between a pers

    "Tell me exactly what Daniel said."I was already moving toward the chapel's side entrance when I asked Adrian the question, but he caught my wrist gently before I reached the broken doorway. His eyes searched my face, and for one terrible second, I thought he was going to tell me to stay behind while he handled everything himself. Instead, he released me, took out his phone, and called Reed."Find Daniel Hart. I want his location confirmed, and I want the vehicles blocking the north road identified. Nobody approaches Amelia without our authorization. If she's already been moved, track the route before you attempt an interception."He ended the call and handed my phone back to me."Read the message again," he said. "Look for anything Daniel included that might tell us where she went."I stared at the screen, forcing myself to concentrate. Daniel had written only three sentences, but each one seemed to carry a separate threat. Amelia was gone. Someone had come to the house with a photo

    "My grandfather is dead."The words came out before I could stop them. My mother's father had been buried years ago, long before I discovered that my own father's death was no accident, long before Adrian entered my life and turned every explanation I had ever accepted into another question. I remembered the funeral only vaguely, the black umbrellas, the flowers, Victoria's gloved hand gripping mine while people offered condolences. I had been too young to understand the distance between a person being declared dead and a family deciding never to speak of him again.Victoria shook her head. "Not my father. Lucas's father."For a moment, I couldn't make sense of what she had said."My father's father?""Yes."I stared at her, waiting for the rest of the explanation, but she seemed unable to force the words past her lips. I had spent my childhood believing that my father came from a small, ordinary family, one that had been broken by old arguments and financial troubles. Lucas rarely sp

  • I Married My Mother's Secret Lover    Chapter 46: The Daughter Victoria Chose

    For a moment, I couldn't decide which woman I wanted to confront first.Eleanor stood near the altar, her face drained of color, while Victoria remained in the doorway as though she had arrived at a private meeting she had every right to interrupt. The silver flower brooch on her pale coat caught the morning light, and the sight of it brought Amelia's recovered memory back with such force that I had to remind myself to breathe. My mother had been in the room where my uncle's daughter was kept. She had known Eleanor. She had known about the two girls, and now she was standing between me and the truth, asking me to put down the only evidence I had brought to discover it."No," I said.Victoria's eyebrows lifted. "Excuse me?""You heard me. I'm not putting anything down until I understand why you were in the room where Amelia was being held."For the first time since she entered, my mother looked genuinely unsettled. It lasted only a second, but I saw it before she recovered her usual co

  • I Married My Mother's Secret Lover    Chapter 45: The Face Behind the Forgotten Memory

    For several seconds, I couldn't bring myself to move.My mother had been in the room where Amelia was kept. Eleanor had taken Amelia away, a man in a red-striped coat had been waiting nearby, and Victoria had arrived after Eleanor left. Three people, three different roles, and one missing childhood that someone had spent years making sure Amelia couldn't remember. I wanted to call Victoria immediately and demand an explanation, but I knew what would happen. She would deny everything, accuse me of believing strangers over my own family, and somehow turn my questions into evidence that I was the one who couldn't be trusted.Adrian reached for the phone in my hand, then stopped when I pulled it closer to myself."Don't," I said."I wasn't going to take it from you.""Then don't look at me as if you're about to decide what I should do next."His expression tightened, but he nodded. "All right. What do you want to do?"The question caught me off guard because I had spent so much time fight

  • I Married My Mother's Secret Lover    Chapter 44: The Woman Who Took Amelia

    I read Daniel’s message three times before I could make myself believe I understood it.She says Eleanor Shaw was the woman who took her away.For several seconds, I sat on the edge of the bed with my phone in my hand, staring at the words while the rest of the room seemed to recede around me. Eleanor had spent years hiding from someone, had contacted me with information about my identity, and had insisted that I come to the chapel without Adrian. Now Amelia, a woman who had disappeared from her own family as a child, had recognized Eleanor as the person who took her away. The question was no longer whether Eleanor knew what had happened to us. It was whether she had been trying to save us, whether she had helped destroy our lives, or whether those two things had somehow become impossible to separate.I called Daniel immediately.He answered before the first ring had finished. "Evelyn?""What happened? You said Amelia remembered something about Eleanor. What exactly did she tell you?"

    “Call her back.”Adrian reached for my phone, but I pulled it against my chest before he could touch it. Eleanor Shaw had just told me that the girl Victoria lost and the girl she raised were never supposed to meet, and now that the call had ended, I couldn't stop hearing those words. I had spent my entire life believing I knew who I was, even when my family refused to explain why certain memories were missing or why my mother sometimes looked at me as though she were waiting for me to become someone else. Now I was expected to accept that the name on my birth certificate might be connected to a lie that had begun before I could even speak.“You heard what she said,” I told Adrian. “She wants to meet me, and she knows something about my identity.”“I heard her.”“Then call her back.”“She ended the call. We don't have a number to return it to.”“Your security team can trace it.”“If she used a disposable phone or routed the call through another device, they may not be able to identify
