Outside the front arches of the hotel, the heavy rain had turned into a steady, freezing drizzle.

A limousine pulled up to the red carpet. A footman in a navy blue uniform hurried forward, opening the rear door and holding a black umbrella over the opening.

A woman stepped out onto the wet carpet.

It was Victoria Sterling.

She walked up the grand steps with quick strides, her heels clicking loudly against the wet stone.

Victoria stopped at the front doors, barely slowing her pace as she reached

  • Married To My Husband’s Father    Chapter 75: A Key to Freedom

    The following morning, gray fog covered the area around the city prison.At exactly seven o'clock, the heavy iron doors of all five holding cells opened at the same time. The sound of metal moving through the narrow stone corridors as dozens of female inmates walked into the large courtyard.The courtyard was surrounded by high stone walls with wire along the top. The ground was cold and wet from the morning dew. Long wooden tables, buckets of soapy water, and straw brooms were arranged around the yard.Every morning, the inmates were required to perform general duties. They cleaned the laundry tubs, swept the courtyard, and folded the blankets used in the cells.Chloe stood near the laundry area, wearing an oversized gray canvas jumpsuit that the prison guards had forced her to change into two days earlier, replacing her ruined gown. Her hair was tied back in a low ponytail. Her face was completely bare of makeup, and she still carried herself with the same stiff pride as before.Be

    While the rain fell over the gray stone walls of the city prison, a completely different atmosphere filled the quiet master suite of Vance Manor.The morning sun broke through the gray clouds, casting a soft golden light across the wide rugs and dark wooden furniture.Evelyn stood near the large bay window, dressed in a soft beige cashmere sweater and long black pants. Her hair was pulled back into a loose, elegant clip, but the dark circles under her eyes still showed how tired she was after the past days.Beside her, Arthur sat at a tall desk.He wore a dark blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms. A clean white bandage wrapped neatly around his lower wrist where the IV counter-agent had been administered. His face had returned to its normal healthy color, his pale gray eyes were clear and focused as he looked through the legal documents on the desk.RING... RING... RING...The sound of Evelyn’s phone broke the silence.Evelyn turned away from the window and reac

    Here’s a full chapter. I want you to help me soften the word so that a non-English speaking countries could understand.The cold evening air inside Cell 4 smelled of old soup, wet wool, and damp stone.The iron door had already been locked for the night, leaving the nine women inside under the dim light of the single bulb mounted high on the concrete wall. Most of the inmates lay on their thin mats, wrapped in rough gray blankets. Some spoke quietly while others simply stared at the ceiling.Chloe sat alone in the corner of the concrete bench.Her eyes were fixed on the floor three feet away. The morning newspaper—the one she had snatched from Monica hours earlier—lay crumpled under the bench, its edges curled and damp from the wet floor.Chloe bent down and picked it up.She smoothed the wrinkles with her hand, pressing the paper against her ruined gown. Some of the ink rubbed onto her skin, but she did not care.She read through the article again.Her eyes moved slowly over every wo

  • Married To My Husband’s Father    Chapter 72: The Headline

    By sunrise on Friday, the news cycle had exploded across every television network, radio station, and digital newspaper in the city.The front page of the Daily Chronicle bore a massive, sweeping headline printed in bold black ink that occupied half the page:THE SECRET OF THE KING ESTATE: TWO DAUGHTERS, A BOMBUnderneath the headline was a clear, sharp photograph of Evelyn Vance standing beside Arthur at a charity function two months prior, flanked by a smaller, grainier mugshot of Lily taken at the police station late Thursday night.The article detailed everything—the existence of an illegitimate daughter of Richard King, whom he had brought in after the death of his wife, the parcel bomb at Vance Global Tower, and the shocking confession that Chloe Henderson had orchestrated the entire plot to destroy Evelyn.Inside the women's holding facility, Friday morning began like every other day.In Cell 4, eight inmates were sitting around the long concrete bench, sharing two morning news

  • Married To My Husband’s Father    Chapter 71: Lily’s Capture and Confession

    While Chloe sat in her cold concrete cell, the shadow of Arthur Vance was moving through the city with terrifying, silent precision. Two days after the Maritime Gala, the heavy rain had finally stopped, leaving a cold fog hanging low over the industrial shipping docks along the riverbank. At the far end of Pier 14 stood a small, weathered warehouse, partially hidden behind rows of empty blue shipping containers. Inside, the air carried the faint smells of salt water, diesel, and aged wood. A simple wooden chair stood in the middle of the concrete floor, illuminated by a single bare bulb hanging from an exposed ceiling beam. Lily sat quietly in the chair, her wrists secured to the armrests with thick straps. Her hair was tangled, her face pale and marked with faint smudges of dirt. Her red jacket was torn at the elbow, and her hands trembled nervously against the straps. Standing a few feet in front of her was Arthur Vance. He did not look like a man who had been poisoned forty-

  • Married To My Husband’s Father    Chapter 70: Inside the Cell

    Forty miles away, on the south side of the city, the air smelled of stale disinfectant, damp concrete, and rusted iron.CLANG!The iron door of the holding cell slammed shut with a sharp, deafening metallic strike that made the floor vibrate underfoot.Chloe stood just inside the bars, her body trembling uncontrollably. Her magnificent emerald silk gown was ruined—torn at the side, covered in dark mud from the service courtyard, and soaked through with dirty rainwater. Her shawl was gone, dropped somewhere in the back of the police car. Her gold hairband hung lopsided across her forehead, the dangling black crystals tangled in her wet hair."Move away from the door, inmate!" a female officer barked through the iron bars, slapping her wooden nightstick against the iron bars with a loud THUD.Chloe stepped back three paces, her hands locked in front of her waist. Her nails were broken and bleeding at the edges. Under the harsh fluorescent light mounted in the ceiling, her skin looked al
