Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 137 The Meeting
The message sat in the middle of the table like an unexploded bomb.If you want Adrian alive, come alone.No one had touched Lucian's phone for several minutes.No one needed to.The words had already done their job.They had divided the room.Richard broke the silence first."You're not going."Lucian leaned back in his chair."We don't know that.""We do know that."Richard's tone left little room for argument."It's a trap.""Maybe.""There's no maybe about it."Lucian rubbed his jaw.For the first time since receiving the message, he looked tired.Not physically.Mentally.The kind of exhaustion that came from carrying too many unanswered questions for too many years."What if Adrian actually needs help?"Richard's expression softened slightly."Then we'll help him.""How?""Not by walking into an ambush."Elena nodded."I agree."Lucian looked at her."You too?"She reached across the table and squeezed his hand."I want answers just as much as you do."Her voice was gentle."But
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 136 The Warning
The message remained on Lucian's phone.If you found Adrian, you're already being watched.He read it again.Then again.Something about it bothered him.Not the threat.The wording.He handed the phone back to Elena."Whoever sent this knew we were looking for Adrian."Elena nodded."But they didn't say we'd found him."Lucian looked at her."Exactly."Nora glanced up from her laptop."So?""If they knew exactly what we'd discovered, they wouldn't have said if you found Adrian."Elena's eyes narrowed."They're testing us.""Or warning us."Richard frowned."Why would someone who knows this much warn us?"Nobody answered.Because there was only one logical explanation.The person sending the message might not be their enemy.At least, not entirely.Nora began working again."I'm going to trace the number."Lucian nodded."Do it."She typed for several minutes.Then shook her head."Nothing.""Nothing?""Whoever sent it knows what they're doing. The number isn't registered normally."R
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 135 The Man Who Vanished
The room remained silent after Lucian's declaration.First, we find Adrian.It sounded simple.It wasn't.For years, Adrian Keller had existed in their memories as a collection of unanswered questions.A Moretti Industries executive who had once worked closely with Matteo.A man who had eventually begun cooperating with Lucian.A suspicious accident.A trail of incriminating documents.And then nothing.He had disappeared.At the time, everyone had assumed the accident had been Matteo's warning.Perhaps it had been.But Antonio's letter had changed the question.Lucian placed both hands on the table."Bring me everything we have on Adrian."Nora immediately reached for her phone."Everything?""Everything."Elena looked at him."Even the safety-deposit-box documents?""Especially those."Richard nodded."Let's go through them again."They moved into the larger dining area, where Richard cleared the table.Within minutes, folders, laptops, photographs and old documents covered the surf
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 134 The Letter Antonio Left Behind
The envelope remained on the table.Nobody touched it.For years, they had searched for answers.Now the answer was sitting in front of them in the handwriting of a man they had believed dead.Lucian stared at the envelope as though it might suddenly disappear.His mother's eyes remained fixed on it.Richard stood beside the table, his face unreadable.Elena watched Evelyn.Of everyone in the room, Evelyn seemed the least surprised.She had carried that envelope for years.Waiting.Perhaps fearing the day she would finally have to open it."I think," she said quietly, "we've waited long enough."She pushed it toward Richard.He looked at her."Why me?""Because Antonio addressed it to you."Richard's expression tightened."You've had this all these years?""Yes.""And you never opened it?"Evelyn shook her head."He asked me not to."Richard looked down at the handwriting.Antonio.Even after all these years, the handwriting was unmistakable.Strong.Precise.Impatient.Just like the
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 133 The Last Warning
Nobody spoke for several moments after Evelyn's words faded into silence.The only sound in the cottage came from the wind brushing softly against the windows.Antonio Moretti had known.Not suspected.Not feared.Known.The realization settled heavily over everyone in the room.Lucian continued staring at the photograph in his hands.His father stared back at him from a moment frozen in time.A moment that now carried an entirely different meaning.All his life, Lucian had viewed that face through the lens of grief.The image of a man lost too soon.Now he was looking at someone who had been carrying secrets powerful enough to destroy families.Someone who had vanished deliberately.Someone who had apparently spent years fighting a battle no one else knew existed."Why didn't he tell anyone?"The question escaped before Lucian could stop it.Evelyn looked at him."Because by the time he understood what was happening, he didn't know who he could trust."The answer landed hard.Because
Married To The Devil I Betrayed CHAPTER 132 The Man in the Photograph
For several seconds after Richard spoke, nobody said a word.The silence was not empty.It was filled with understanding.The kind that arrives slowly after years of confusion.The kind that forces old memories into new shapes.Across the room, Evelyn leaned back in her chair.She had spent decades chasing fragments of the truth.Watching them finally begin to connect was both satisfying and painful.Because every answer carried another loss behind it.Lucian was the first to speak."What do you mean?"Richard looked at him.Then at Elena.Then at the two women seated opposite him."The timing."His voice was thoughtful now.Measured.The voice of a man examining evidence."Hart Biotech started collapsing."He looked toward Evelyn."You disappeared."Then toward Mrs. Moretti."Antonio disappeared."His eyes narrowed."And the proposed cooperation between our families was destroyed before it ever had a chance to happen."The room remained quiet.Because nobody could argue with the fact
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 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
