Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 163 The Meeting After the Collapse
Nora had been awake for most of the night.By the time Lucian arrived at the office the following morning, she had spread three documents across the conference table. Two were copies from the Hart correspondence index. The third was a printed record Adrian had brought in the previous day.She looked up when Lucian entered."Before you ask, no, I haven't found a name."Lucian removed his coat."I wasn't going to ask that.""You were thinking it.""I was thinking you should have gone home.""That too."He glanced at the documents."Show me."Nora pushed the first sheet towards him."This is the second H.C. reference. It was entered two days after the merger agreement was signed. The instruction was to keep the original correspondence outside the company archive and maintain contact through the independent liaison."Lucian studied it."And the next reference?""That's where it gets interesting."She placed the second sheet beside it.The date was several months later."After the merger c
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 162 The Office Without a Name
Evelyn had been staring at the photocopy for nearly ten minutes.The initials were small. Two letters beside a line in an old register. H.C.Nothing about them looked important enough to have survived all these years. Yet she couldn't bring herself to look away.Richard stood near the window, watching the traffic below. Adrian sat across from Nora, explaining something about the register, while Anton examined the photocopy again.Lucian had been quiet for most of the discussion. Elena noticed that he was watching her mother rather than the document."Have you remembered something?" he asked.Evelyn blinked."Possibly."Richard turned from the window. "You said that before.""I know.""And then you said you weren't certain.""I wasn't.""Are you certain now?"Evelyn looked at him. "Richard, if I had an answer, I would give it to you."He opened his mouth, then closed it.Elena moved closer to her mother. "What does it remind you of?"Evelyn touched the edge of the photocopy."An envelo
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 161 The Man Who Kept Moving
Nora had written the same three words on the conference room whiteboard.ONE AUTHORITY. DIFFERENT NAMES.Below them were the two designations recovered from the correspondence register, along with their respective dates.Lucian stood with his hands in his pockets, studying the figures.“How many times did the designation change?”“Twice in the records we've recovered,” Nora replied. “There may have been earlier changes, but I haven't found evidence of them.”“And the authority remained active throughout?”“Yes. The channel was opened before the merger agreement was signed. Its status wasn't cancelled when the agreement ended.”Anton turned a page in his notebook.“That doesn't automatically mean someone continued exercising it. An active administrative channel can remain on a register without being used.”Nora nodded. “Except it was used. We have the later movement entries.”Elena examined the dates.“The first change happened after the merger collapsed?”“Several months after,” Nora
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 160 The Name Beneath the Authority
The document remained on the table long after the records officer had finished explaining the conditions of its custody.Nobody seemed particularly interested in leaving.Nora had photographed the permitted pages and was comparing the wording with the earlier register. Anton was making notes in the margin of his legal pad. Richard sat beside Evelyn, reading the amendment again.Elena stood behind Lucian.“The authority was never transferred,” she said. “Only the name attached to it was changed.”Lucian looked at the document.“Which means someone could inherit the power without formally inheriting the position.”“Or the position was never attached to a particular person,” Anton replied. “We need to be careful. The wording establishes that the authority survived the agreement. It doesn't tell us how the name was changed.”Nora turned her laptop towards them.“There's another problem. The page we have refers to an amendment, but the amendment itself refers to an attached schedule. That
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 159 The Keeper of Originals
Eli was standing in the sitting room with his hands on his hips.“It's missing.”Lucian looked up from his phone. “What's missing?”“My picture.”“The one in the frame?”Eli gave him a look that suggested the question was unnecessary. “Yes. The one you said you would keep safe.”Lucian put his phone down.Elena, who was coming down the stairs, stopped when she saw the expression on her son's face.“What happened?”“Lucian lost my picture.”“I did not lose it,” Lucian said.“Then where is it?”That was a fair question.Lucian glanced towards the shelf where the drawing had been sitting the previous evening. The frame was gone.He checked the side table, then the cabinet beneath the television. Eli followed him, offering suggestions that became increasingly unhelpful.“Maybe somebody took it.”“Who?”“I don't know. Somebody.”Elena folded her arms. “Perhaps we should ask the person who last had it.”Three pairs of eyes turned towards Lucian.He looked at them.“I was protecting it.”“Fr
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 158 The Request That Wasn't Filed
Nora called at 8:17 the following morning.Lucian answered before the second ring.“I found the route.”He glanced at the clock. “Good morning to you too.”“Good morning. I found the route, and I think you should come in.”“Is it the authorisation?”“Part of it. The rest is something I don't want to explain over the phone.”Lucian was already reaching for his jacket. “I'll be there.”He found Elena in the kitchen, trying to persuade Eli that breakfast was not an optional activity.“I'm going to the office,” he told her.Eli looked up from his toast. “Again?”“I'm afraid so.”“You said you would help me with the car.”Lucian stopped.Elena looked at him over her cup. She didn't say anything, but the expression on her face made it clear she was waiting to see what he would do.“I said I would help you after breakfast,” Lucian replied.“You're going now.”“I haven't left yet.”Eli considered this. “That's true.”Lucian checked his watch. “I'll have time to help you before I go.”Eli's fa
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER ONE The Night I Became A Traitor
The first time my husband looked at me like I was nothing, I was still wearing my wedding dress.The ballroom glittered like a galaxy poured onto marble floors. Crystal chandeliers trembled with laughter and champagne toasts. Cameras flashed. Politicians, CEOs, socialites—everyone who mattered—had

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
