Isabella arrived at the estate three days later, looking haunted.

"I've lost everything," she said as Mrs. Kim showed her to a guest room. "My apartment, my friends in Paris, my relationship with my father. All because I told the truth."

"You did the right thing," Mira said.

"Did I? Because it doesn't feel right. It feels like punishment."

Mira had no response to that.

Isabella settled into the estate carefully, as if afraid to take up space. She worked remotely from her room, avoided public ar

  • Married For His Grandmother’s Last Wish   Chapter Fifty Two

    The disruption came in the form of Daniel's mother.Despite the restraining order, she found ways to make contact. Letters delivered to the cabin by process servers. Emails to Daniel's work account. Messages left with the security team.All saying variations of the same thing: *"I deserve to know my grandchild. Don't punish the baby for our problems."*Daniel ignored them. Until the letters started coming to Mira directly.“Dear Mira, I know you think I'm the enemy. But I'm just a grandmother who wants to be part of my grandchild's life. Whatever Daniel has told you about me, there are two sides to every story. Please give me a chance."The letters were persuasive. Warm. Reasonable.Mira hated that they affected her."She's manipulating you," Daniel said when Mira showed him one."I know. But what if there's some truth in what she says?""There isn't. My mother abandoned me. She doesn't get to claim grandmother rights now.""People change. Your father apologized before he died.""And

    The medical records leak had consequences beyond invasion of privacy.Daniel's parents—or rather, his mother, since his father was dead—used the information to file for grandparents' rights."She what?" Mira asked when Daniel's lawyer called."Filed a petition for visitation rights to your unborn child. She's arguing that as the child's only living grandparent on the Chen side, she has a legal right to relationship.""The baby isn't even born yet!""I know. It's premature and likely will be dismissed. But it creates another legal battle we have to fight."Mira sank into a chair. "This never ends."Daniel was livid. He called his mother immediately."What the hell are you doing?" His voice was ice.Mira could hear his mother's response through the phone, though not the words."You have no rights to my child," Daniel continued. "You abandoned me. You contested Eleanor's will. You've done nothing but cause problems. Stay away from my family."More response from his mother."I don't care

    The pregnancy remained secret for two weeks.Mira saw her doctor privately, Daniel arranging for appointments under a false name to avoid media leaks. Everything seemed fine—healthy heartbeat, normal development, no complications.Then the nausea started.Not gentle morning sickness. Violent, debilitating nausea that made it impossible to hide.Mira spent three days barely leaving the bathroom. Mrs. Kim noticed immediately."You're pregnant," she said, not a question."How did you know?""I've worked in this house for thirty years. I've seen morning sickness before." Mrs. Kim's expression softened. "Does Mr. Chen know?""He knows.""And you're happy about it?""I think so. When I'm not throwing up."Mrs. Kim smiled. "It gets better. Usually around week twelve.""That's another six weeks.""I'll make you ginger tea."The tea helped marginally. What didn't help was trying to maintain normal activities while feeling constantly nauseated.Daniel wanted to cancel all public appearances. Mi

    Normal lasted three weeks.Mira should have known it wouldn't last longer.The call came at 6 AM. Daniel's mother, cold as always."We need to meet. Today. It's about Daniel's father.""What about him?""He's dying. Daniel needs to know."The call ended before Mira could respond.She found Daniel in his home office, already awake, already working."Your mother called."He didn't look up. "What did she want?""She says your father is dying. Wants us to meet today."That got his attention. "Did she say what's wrong with him?""No. Just that it's urgent."Daniel was quiet for a long moment. "It's probably a manipulation. Another scheme to contest Eleanor's will or gain access to the company.""Maybe. But what if it's real?""Then he's dying and I still don't care."The words were harsh, but Mira understood. Daniel's parents had abandoned him, challenged his grandmother's legacy, made his life difficult at every turn. Why should their medical emergencies matter?"You should still go," Mir

It feels like punishment."Mira had no response to that.Isabella settled into the estate carefully, as if afraid to take up space. She worked remotely from her room, avoided public areas when Daniel had business associates over, made herself nearly invisible."She's scared," Mira told Daniel one evening."Of what?""Of Vanessa. Of her father. Of what comes next.""She's safe here. Security is everywhere.""Physical safety isn't the same as feeling safe."Mira understood that intimately. She'd been physically secure for months but hadn't felt truly safe since Eleanor died.The media continued its assault on Isabella's credibility. Every day brought new "revelations"—carefully

    The peace lasted exactly eleven days.Mira woke to Daniel already dressed, phone pressed to his ear, his expression dark."What's wrong?" she asked.He held up a finger. "I understand. Send me the details." He ended the call. "Vanessa's out.""What? How?""Her lawyers found a procedural error in the plea agreement. The judge vacated it. She's free pending a new trial."Mira's stomach dropped. "When?""She was released an hour ago.""Where is she now?""Unknown. But my security team is looking."They'd survived months of harassment, a criminal trial, finally achieved peace and now Vanessa was free again."She'll come after us," Mira said quietly."Maybe. Or maybe she's learned her lesson.""You don't actually believe that.""No. But I'm hoping."Hope felt naive. Vanessa had orchestrated attacks on innocent people, manipulated her own father, destroyed lives without remorse. A procedural error wouldn't transform her into a different person."What do we do?" Mira asked."We prepare. Secu

    Mira woke to find Daniel already gone. The bed was made on his side, no evidence he'd been there except the slight indent in the pillow.Her phone showed two missed calls from an unknown number and a text from Daniel's assistant Julia."Mrs. Chen, please call me when you wake. We need to discuss yo

    The cameras were overwhelming. Mira had seen red carpets on television but experiencing one was entirely different. The flashes were blinding, the shouted questions incomprehensible. She gripped Daniel's arm tighter."Mr. Chen! Over here!""Mira! How does it feel to be married to a billionaire?""D

    The morning after Mira's public confession brought an unexpected silence. No shouting from Daniel's study. No emergency calls from Julia. Just quiet that felt more ominous than chaos.Mira found Mrs. Kim arranging fresh flowers in the foyer, her movements careful and deliberate."Mr. Chen left earl

    Mira waited fifteen minutes. Then twenty. The dessert plates were cleared. Coffee was served. Still no Daniel.Catherine Montgomery watched her with barely concealed satisfaction. "I'm sure he'll be back soon."But she didn't sound sure at all.Mira excused herself and headed in the direction she'd
