Married to My Enemy Chapter 28: A Different Kind of Morning
For the first time in months, Sienna woke without reaching for her phone to check for another crisis.No frantic emails.No anonymous threats.No emergency meetings waiting to derail the day before it had even begun.Sunlight spilled across the bedroom, warming the sheets as she lay still for a moment, letting herself enjoy the unfamiliar silence.Beside her, Nathaniel was already awake, reading through a financial report with one hand while balancing a mug of coffee in the other.“You’ve been working for twenty minutes already, haven’t you?” she asked sleepily.He glanced over the edge of the report, the corner of his mouth lifting.“Fifteen.”“You counted.”“I knew you’d ask.”She laughed softly.It felt strange hearing that sound again. For so long, laughter had been replaced by whispered strategies, legal documents, and sleepless nights.Nathaniel set the report aside.“Good morning, Mrs. Voss.”She smiled.“Good morning.”There had been a time when hearing that name felt like a p
Married to My Enemy Chapter 26: Confession
They didn’t have to go looking for him. Marcus was back within the hour, security notifying Nathaniel that his cousin had returned to the building alone, asking to speak with him privately, no lawyer, no witnesses requested, nothing that suggested a man preparing to fight the accusation further. Sienna watched the security feed over Nathaniel’s shoulder, both of them tense, unsure whether this meant surrender or something far more dangerous.He found them in the study this time, not the boardroom, and stood in the doorway for a long moment before he spoke, something in his posture entirely different from the composed, unbothered man who’d walked out an hour earlier. He looked, Sienna thought, like a man who’d finally set down something he’d been carrying so long he’d forgotten its weight.“I’m not going to deny it,” he said quietly. “Not to you. Not anymore. I’m tired, Nathaniel. Twenty years is a long time to carry something like this.”Marcus didn’t confess easily, even then. He tri
Married to My Enemy Chapter 25: Bait
The false lead went out through a source they knew Marcus monitored closely, a junior board member who owed Cole a favor, mentioning offhand at a lunch meeting that new evidence had surfaced pointing toward a different Voss relative entirely, someone with far less to lose than Marcus if the finger of suspicion landed elsewhere. Cole had chosen the source carefully, someone gossip prone enough that the information would travel quickly through the right channels without anyone realizing they’d been deliberately used.It took less than forty eight hours for Marcus to move.He requested an emergency meeting with Nathaniel, framed as concern about the company’s stability given the ongoing scandal, and Sienna watched from the adjoining room, recording equipment carefully hidden, Cole and a discreet security team standing by, her pulse hammering loud enough in her ears that she worried, absurdly, it might somehow be audible through the wall, as her cousin in law sat across from her husband a
Married to My Enemy Chapter 24: The Trap
They spent the next week building a plan with Cole’s careful, quiet help.Every meeting happened somewhere different.Sometimes in the study.Sometimes in Cole’s office after hours.Once in a private conference room borrowed under another company’s name.Nathaniel refused to let a pattern develop. If Marcus was watching them as closely as they suspected, routine was their enemy.The plan itself was deceptively simple.They would stop chasing Marcus.Instead, they would make Marcus chase them.“He thinks the forged bank records worked,” Nathaniel said one evening, spreading a timeline across the study desk that had become the center of everything they shared. It was the same desk where they’d first uncovered inconsistencies in her father’s contracts. The same desk where he’d trusted her enough to let her help. The same desk where their marriage had quietly stopped being a contract and become something real.“He believes we’re distracted,” Nathaniel continued. “He thinks we’re questioni
Married to My Enemy Chapter 23: Blood
The name on the incorporation papers was Marcus Voss.Nathaniel’s own cousin.Priscilla’s son.A man who had sat across from Nathaniel at family holidays for thirty years, who had offered a stiff, formal handshake at the wedding before disappearing into the crowd, a man so comfortably ordinary that neither Nathaniel nor Sienna had ever thought to look at him twice.Yet there it was.His signature.Faded by time but unmistakably real.For a long moment, nobody spoke.Nathaniel remained frozen, staring at the document as though refusing to blink might somehow change the name written across the page.“He would have been twenty three when this was filed,” he said at last, the words flat and mechanical. “Fresh out of business school. Ambitious. Constantly living in my father’s shadow.”He let out a humorless laugh.“I never thought about what that must have felt like.”Sienna stayed beside him, giving him the silence he needed.“He was always the overlooked one,” Nathaniel continued. “My f
Married to My Enemy Chapter 22: Cole's Discovery
It was not Marcus Voss.Sienna blinked once, convinced she had read the signature wrong.Then she looked again.The elegant handwriting at the bottom of the incorporation papers read clearly.Priscilla Evelyn Voss.For several long seconds, the room was silent.Nathaniel didn’t move.He simply stared at the page, his breathing slow and unnaturally controlled.Cole quietly closed the folder.“I verified it three different ways before I called you,” he said. “The signature matches property deeds, trust documents, and probate filings from the same period. There isn’t any doubt.”“No,” Nathaniel said quietly.It wasn’t denial.It sounded more like grief.“My aunt inherited money from my grandfather. She never needed shell companies.”“Need and motive aren’t always the same thing,” Cole replied gently.Nathaniel shook his head.“You don’t know her.”“I’ve known her for thirty years.”“Not like I have.”Cole sighed.“I hope you’re right.”Sienna couldn’t stop looking at the signature.Image
