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 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 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 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 TWO Erased
By morning, I was trending.I didn’t have to open social media to know it. My phone wouldn’t stop vibrating on the kitchen counter of the small apartment I’d fled to after leaving the hotel at dawn.I hadn’t slept.I had changed out of my wedding dress in a gas station restroom forty minutes outsid
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
