The following morning, Arabella Rose Montgomery woke up to an unusually quiet bedroom.

Dominic was already gone.

She glanced at the empty side of the bed before reaching for her phone. There was no message from him, only a short note from his secretary informing her that Dominic had an early meeting at Blackwood International.

Arabella sighed.

Ever since the previous evening, she had noticed something different about her husband. Although Dominic continued treating her with affection, his mind

    The recording ended, but Alexander's final words continued to echo inside my head."Especially the person who is wearing my mother's wedding ring."I instinctively looked down at my left hand.The diamond ring on my finger suddenly felt heavier than before.Dominic noticed my reaction."Arabella, look at me."I slowly raised my eyes."Why did Alexander mention the ring? Is there something about it that you haven't told me?"Dominic stared at the ring for several seconds before answering."That ring belonged to Eleanor. It was passed down through her family. I kept it after her death because it was one of the few things she wanted preserved."My heart skipped."Then why am I wearing it?""Because I wanted you to have something meaningful from this family. I thought Eleanor would have wanted that."I swallowed."But what if Alexander knows something about it?"Dominic took my hand."Then we will find out together. I won't allow anyone to use you to destroy this marriage."Before I could

    I never imagined that I would one day stand inside the Blackwood mansion as the wife of the man who fathered my former boyfriend.The thought was still difficult to accept, especially when I remembered how Alexander and I had once dreamed of building a future together. Now, I shared a home with his father, wore his father's wedding ring, and was expected to face a family that still struggled to accept me.But tonight, I had something more important to worry about.Alexander was missing.I stood beside Dominic in his private office while Marcus reviewed the security arrangements for their midnight meeting."You're not seriously considering going there without me, are you?" I asked.Dominic looked up from the documents on his desk."Arabella, I don't want you anywhere near that place.""And I don't want you walking into a dangerous situation without proper support."His jaw tightened. "You are my wife. Protecting you is my responsibility."I approached him and placed my hand over his."

  • MY EX'S FATHER THE MAN I CHOSE TO MARRY   CHAPTER 28: WELCOME TO THE BLACKWOOD MANSION

    The gates of the Blackwood estate opened slowly as our car approached. Beyond them stood the mansion, its tall windows glowing beneath the evening sky. I had visited this place many times since marrying Dominic, yet tonight it looked different.Dominic sat beside me, silent and tense.“Are you sure we should hold the family gathering tonight?” I asked.He folded the paper and slipped it into his coat pocket. “If someone is trying to frighten us into hiding, I won't give them that satisfaction. The people in this house deserve to know what is happening.”“And Alexander?”His expression softened. “Especially Alexander. If he comes home, I want him to know that he still has a place here.”When we entered the mansion, the housekeeper, Mrs. Collins, approached with a warm but cautious smile.“Good evening, Mr. Blackwood. Welcome home, Mrs. Blackwood.”The words made me pause.Mrs. Blackwood.I had heard the title before, but hearing it spoken inside this grand home still felt unfamiliar. I

    "Find my son!" Dominic ordered, his voice echoing through the study.Marcus immediately answered the call."Sir, we're checking every security camera around the property. We'll locate him as soon as possible."Dominic ended the call and grabbed his coat.I stood beside his desk, still staring at the photograph of Eleanor's document."Dominic, wait."He turned toward me."We don't know where Alexander went or why he disappeared. We need to understand what we're dealing with before making any decisions.""He's my son, Arabella. Whatever he has done, I won't allow anyone to hurt him."I held his hand."Then let us find him together."He nodded, although the worry in his eyes remained.Minutes later, Marcus called again."Sir, we found his car abandoned near the southern entrance of the estate. However, there's something else.""What is it?""His phone was left inside the vehicle. We also discovered a note beneath the driver's seat."Dominic immediately asked him to send a photograph.Whe

    The moment Dominic heard Alexander's name, his expression changed.For several seconds, he remained silent, gripping his phone tightly."Are you certain it's Alexander?" he asked.Marcus answered immediately. "Yes, sir. He's inside the old warehouse, and we found the missing financial records in his possession."Dominic ended the call.I stared at him, struggling to understand what was happening."Your son has the documents?""Apparently.""Do you think he stole them?"Dominic looked toward the windows."I don't know what to believe anymore."He reached for his car keys."I'm going there.""I'll come with you.""Arabella, this could become dangerous.""He's your son, Dominic. Whatever happened between you two, I don't want you facing this alone."He studied my face before finally nodding."Stay beside me. Whatever happens, don't leave my sight."The drive to the warehouse felt longer than usual.Dominic barely spoke. His hands remained firmly on the steering wheel, while his eyes stay

    The photograph remained on the screen of Dominic's phone.Richard was standing behind Eleanor and Dominic, holding a gun.I couldn't stop staring at it."Dominic," I whispered. "What does this mean?"He didn't answer immediately. His jaw tightened as he enlarged the photograph, examining every detail."Richard was supposed to be nowhere near Eleanor that night.""Then why was he there?"Dominic placed his phone on the table."Because he lied to me."I stepped closer. "Do you think he had something to do with Eleanor's death?""I don't know yet." His eyes met mine. "But I'm going to find out."Before I could respond, his phone rang.It was Marcus."Sir, I've recovered another recording from the warehouse," Marcus reported. "You need to hear this personally.""Send it to me."A few seconds later, Dominic opened the recording.A man's voice filled the room."Richard, you promised me nobody would discover the documents."Another voice answered."Relax. Eleanor won't be a problem anymore."
