Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 153 The Order to Keep It
Anton returned from the records office carrying a thin brown folder.Lucian noticed the folder before he noticed Anton’s expression.“Tell me you have something.”“I have a record of who requested the restriction, a copy of the authorization, and a problem.”Nora looked up from the laptop. “Those usually come together.”“This one has signatures.”Anton placed the folder on the table but kept his hand on it.“The depository has agreed to release the retention order for review. The supplementary packet itself remains sealed until the custodian verifies that we have the right to access it. I argued that we had sufficient grounds. They disagreed.”“Then we deal with that,” Lucian said. “Show us what they did release.”Anton opened the folder.The first page was a copy of the original inventory. Beneath the two items listed at the time of transfer, someone had added a short instruction in dark ink.THE SUPPLEMENTARY PACKET IS NOT TO BE RELEASED WITH THE PRINCIPAL FILE.Below it, a second l
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 152 What He Left Behind
Lucian did not reply to the message.He read it once more, locked his phone, and slipped it into his pocket.“Someone wants us to confront Victor,” he said.“Someone wants us to believe Victor was paid to leave something behind,” Elena corrected. “Those aren't necessarily the same thing.”He looked at her. “You think the message is a lie?”“I think the person who sent it knows what we found. That doesn't make everything they say true.”Anton, who had been reviewing the depository's paperwork in the front passenger seat, turned around.“She has a point. We have a genuine withdrawal record. We don't yet have evidence of a payment, an agreement, or what Victor collected.”“Then we start with the records we can verify,” Nora said. “The depository has already agreed to search for the underlying authorization. We should ask whether the original inventory still exists.”“Do that,” Lucian said. “And don't mention the message.”Nora was already making the call.Elena settled back in her seat.
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 151 The File That Never Closed
The depository was located on the third floor of a building that appeared to have been built to discourage anyone from being curious.There was no sign outside indicating what the building contained.Only a discreet name above the entrance, a reception desk, and an elevator that led to a quiet corridor lined with frosted glass.Elena had expected something more dramatic.After everything they had uncovered, she had imagined locked vaults, armed guards, and maybe even a place where people whispered before mentioning certain names.Instead, a receptionist asked them to sign in.Anton showed the authorization for their visit.Nora provided the reference numbers from the old transfer register, and Lucian stood nearby while the receptionist checked the documents.Richard remained unusually quiet.Evelyn noticed.“Are you all right?” she asked him.“I spent years thinking the records had been scattered during the liquidation,” he replied.“I never thought someone might have arranged for a s
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 150 The Records They Left Behind
“Found it.”Nora's words brought everyone back to the table.She turned her laptop so they could see the entry.“The transfer register identifies the institution that received the records. It's a private legal depository that handled sealed documents for companies involved in commercial disputes.”Anton studied the name.“I know them. They accepted records under restricted custody arrangements. Depending on the terms, access could require authorization from the original client or whoever legally inherited the file.”“Can we get in?” Lucian asked.“Not simply by showing up,” Anton replied. “We'll need to establish the chain of custody and determine who has authority to request the material. If the records were sealed, there may be restrictions.”“Who arranged the transfer?” Richard asked.Nora scrolled further down.“The entry names a solicitor who acted for Hart Biotech during the liquidation. The transfer was approved under a separate reference, but the authorization section is incom
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 149 The Place He Chose
For several minutes, nobody touched Evelyn’s envelope.It lay in the middle of the table, its edges worn soft with age, looking far too ordinary for something that had survived the destruction of a company and years of carefully guarded secrets.Lucian stood by the window, reading a message on his phone. Nora had opened her laptop, while Anton sorted through the copies of Antonio’s records they had brought back from the storage unit. Nina sat beside Richard, studying the envelope.Elena watched them all.They had spent days uncovering fragments of a story that had begun long before she understood what had happened to her family. Every discovery seemed to open another door. Yet the closer they came to the truth, the more she felt they were overlooking something simple.Not another name.Not another hidden account.Something they had already been told.“Antonio gave you the original,” Elena said.Evelyn nodded. “I believed it was safer with him than with me.”“And he told you not to loo
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 148 The Second Copy
For a while, Evelyn said nothing.She stood beside the table with her hands resting lightly against its edge, looking at the screen.At the name.At the handwriting beside it.Her handwriting.Elena watched her mother carefully.There was no surprise in Evelyn's face.Only recognition."You know this person."It wasn't a question.Evelyn lifted her eyes."Yes."Richard exhaled slowly."How well?"Evelyn looked at him."Not well enough to trust them."Lucian folded his arms."Then start there."Evelyn gave him a tired look."You haven't changed.""Neither have you."Elena almost smiled, but the moment passed too quickly.She stepped closer to her mother."Mom, please."Evelyn looked at her.And something softened in her expression."I knew this name long before you did.""From the merger?""From before the merger collapsed."Anton pulled a chair closer."Was this person working for Hart Biotech?""No.""Moretti?""No."Nora frowned."Then why were they sitting in a confidential merger
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT When a Witness Becomes a Target
By the time the morning meeting was supposed to begin, Daniel Kessler had already disappeared from the system.It wasn’t obvious at first.At 8:05 a.m., his calendar still reflected the scheduled follow-up session with the investigative team. At 8:12, his access badge registered at the building ent
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER SIX Five Years Later
The empire had grown.Lucian Moretti noticed it every morning when the elevator doors opened onto the top floor of Moretti Tower.The building itself had become a landmark in the financial district—forty-eight stories of glass and steel cutting into the skyline like a blade. When Lucian first commi
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER FIVE Ashes Don't Beg
The annulment was finalized in under forty-eight hours.Lucian’s legal team moved like a surgical unit—precise, silent, lethal.By the time the paperwork reached me, the media had already announced it.“Marriage Officially Voided Amid Espionage Investigation.”Voided.As if it had never existed.As
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER FOUR The Cost Of Precision (Lucian's POV)
Betrayal had a pattern.It was rarely loud. Rarely dramatic.It crept in through proximity.Through access.Through trust.Lucian Moretti had built his empire by eliminating variables before they became threats.Except this one.He stood alone in his office long after Elena had left that night.The
