Stacy R. SimmonsFor so long, Elena believed her family's destruction was the result of betrayal, bad decisions, and circumstances that spiraled beyond anyone's control. But what if some of those circumstances were never accidents? What if the people who disappeared from her life were fighting battles she never knew existed? Evelyn has been gone for a long time. But perhaps she was never as far away from the truth as Elena believed. We are entering the final stretch now, and the secrets are becoming personal. So tell me... If you discovered that your mother had been investigating the people who destroyed your family long before you knew the truth, would you want to know everything she discovered? Stacy

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 147 What Evelyn Knew
Richard did not sit down.He remained beside the table, staring at the screen as though the handwriting might change if he looked at it long enough.It didn't.Evelyn's handwriting.Elena knew it too.There were certain things you remembered without trying. The shape of a person's signature. The way they crossed a letter. The impatient slant of a sentence when they were writing quickly.Her mother's handwriting had always leaned slightly forward.This did too.Elena swallowed."Why would Mom write beside that name?"Richard didn't answer."Dad."He finally looked at her."I don't know."She searched his face.It was not the face of a man hiding an answer.It was the face of a man who had just discovered that a part of his past had been living somewhere beyond his reach.Anton pulled the document closer."Let's start with what we know."Nora gave him a look."That's usually your way of telling everyone to stop guessing.""It would be useful right now."He pointed to the page."We have
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 146 The Fourth Name
For several seconds, nobody spoke.The message remained on Lucian's phone.You were never supposed to find the fourth name.Elena read it twice.Then she looked at Lucian."How did they know?"Lucian locked his phone."Because someone is watching."Nora was already moving toward the computer."Or because someone has access to the records we're looking at."Anton followed her."Either way, we need to know how they got into your account."Lucian slipped the phone into his pocket."And we need to stop assuming every move they make is an attack."Elena looked at him."What else would it be?""A warning."Anton frowned."From the same person who used your credentials?""We don't know that yet."Nora glanced over her shoulder."Give me five minutes."Lucian nodded.Nora pulled up the access logs.The room fell silent again as lines of data appeared across the screen.She moved through them quickly.Then stopped."This isn't right."Anton came closer."What?""The login."She pointed to the
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 145 The Merger That Never Happened
The room had gone quiet.Not the comfortable kind of quiet.The kind that came when everyone was staring at the same piece of paper and realizing it had just changed the meaning of everything they thought they knew.The authorization lay on the table between them.Daniel Mercer's name was printed near the bottom.The approval field was blank.Yet the document had been accepted as valid.And in the corner, almost hidden beneath the faded stamp, were two letters.H.B.Richard had already told them what they meant.Hart Biotech.Elena couldn't take her eyes off them."My father said those documents were withdrawn," she said.Anton looked up from the authorization."Your father was told they were withdrawn."Richard's jaw tightened."There's a difference."Nora was already moving.She pulled another folder from the cabinet and placed it beside the authorization."This is the original Moretti-Hart merger file."Lucian stepped closer."I thought the archive was incomplete.""It is."Nora op
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 144 The Authorization
By the time they left the hospital, the rain had stopped.But nobody seemed to notice.Lucian walked ahead with Nora beside him, both of them speaking quietly. Anton followed with Richard and Evelyn, while Elena stayed near the back with Nina.Victor Hale was gone.He had left without another explanation.That bothered Lucian more than if he had stayed.Nora noticed.“You're thinking about Victor.”Lucian glanced at her.“I don't trust the timing.”“You never did.”“No.”Nora opened the folder in her hands.“Then don't start now.”Lucian almost smiled.It disappeared when he looked at the document inside the folder.Daniel's authorization.“Get Anton to the office.”“He's already on his way.”Lucian looked at her.“You called him?”“I called him while you were talking to Victor.”He nodded.“Good.”Nora's eyes dropped to the paper.“Do you think Richard knows whose signature that is?”“He reacted before he could hide it.”“So he does.”“Apparently.”Nora was quiet for a moment.“That'
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 143 What The Photograph Hid
The monitor finally settled.The nurse checked Daniel's pulse, adjusted the line in his arm, and asked Evelyn to step outside.She did.The moment the door closed, Lucian was beside her.“What did he mean?”Evelyn looked at the photograph in her hand.“I don't know.”“He was looking at that.”“I know.”Lucian took the photograph.For several seconds, he studied the image without speaking.The people gathered around the table were familiar.Some were Moretti executives.Some were men Lucian remembered from old board meetings.And there was Daniel, younger and almost hidden at the edge of the frame.The circled face stood among them.Lucian frowned.“The picture is real.”Evelyn looked at him.“How do you know?”“Because I've seen it before.”Nina turned from the files.“Where?”“In the old records.”“That doesn't prove anything.”“No.”Lucian turned the photograph over.There was nothing on the back.No date.No location.No photographer.Nothing.“That,” he said, “is what bothers me.”
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER THREE Collateral Damage
By noon, the board at Hart Biotech had called an emergency meeting.I insisted on attending.My father argued against it. “You don’t need to walk into that,” he said over the phone, voice strained. “They’ll be brutal.”“They already are,” I replied quietly. “I won’t hide.”The company headquarters
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

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
