The photograph had been taken recently enough that the security light was still working.

That was the first detail I noticed. The second was the chain across the gate. It looked old, rusted at the links, but the padlock was new. Whoever had secured the facility wanted it to appear abandoned while ensuring that nobody could enter without permission.

The message beneath the photograph was meant to frighten us.

THE THIRD CONTAINER IS EMPTY. YOU'RE TOO LATE.

I passed the image to Ethan.

  • My Best Friend STOLE MY Husband -So I Married His Brother    Chapter 85: The Life We Chose

    The first thing I noticed when we arrived home was how quiet everything felt.Not the uncomfortable silence that had followed us through months of secrets, accusations, and unanswered questions. This was different. It was the kind of quiet that settled around a place when there was finally nothing left to hide.Ethan closed the front door behind us and set his keys on the small table beside it. For a moment, neither of us moved.I looked down at my hands. They were trembling slightly.“We did it,” I whispered.Ethan came closer. “We did.”I wanted to smile, but the emotions inside me were too tangled. Relief, exhaustion, disbelief. For so long, every answer had led to another question. Every victory had revealed another threat waiting around the corner. Even when we thought we were close to the truth, someone had always been standing in the shadows, ready to pull us backward.But today, we had walked away with the original evidence.Jonathan's agreement. The authentic plate. The custo

  • My Best Friend STOLE MY Husband -So I Married His Brother    Chapter 84: The Last Piece of the Truth

    The old Black Holdings estate looked exactly as I remembered it. The iron gates stood between us and the grounds, the stone walls stretching along the road like a barrier built to keep the outside world from seeing what happened within. The eastern wing was dark, its windows reflecting the pale afternoon sky. Somewhere beneath that building, Jonathan's final evidence might still be waiting. I sat beside Ethan in the back of the car, holding my mother's hand. She had barely spoken since Lucas revealed that Jonathan had named her as the independent witness. I could understand why. She had spent years trying to keep the past behind her, and now she was being asked to step into the middle of it again. “You don't have to do this if you're not ready,” I told her. She looked at me. “I have spent too many years letting other people decide what I should know and what I should do. If my testimony can finally end this, I want to give it.” I squeezed her hand. Ethan turned slightly. “We'll

  • My Best Friend STOLE MY Husband -So I Married His Brother    Chapter 83: The Witness Has Been Found

    Lucas Vale's signature was the last thing I wanted to see. I stared at the closure notice, reading the handwritten instruction beneath his name again and again. THE WITNESS HAS BEEN FOUND. DO NOT CONTACT CLAIRE VALE. For a moment, I couldn't decide which part disturbed me more. The fact that Lucas had been involved in closing the facility without telling us, or the fact that someone had apparently found a witness connected to Jonathan's final transfer. “Call him,” I said. Ethan took the document from my hands. “Not yet.” “Why not?” “Because we need to know whether this was genuinely written by Lucas, whether he signed it himself, and who instructed him to include that message.” “His signature is right there.” “His signature proves that he signed the notice. It doesn't prove he wrote the handwritten instruction.” I folded my arms. “And what if he did?” “Then we'll ask him why.” Adrian was already making a call. “I have a number for Lucas. He's been avoiding direct contact f

But the person who sent this knows we're investigating the third container. If it were genuinely empty, they would have no reason to announce it unless they wanted us to stop looking.”“Or they want us to waste time searching an empty building.”“That's possible too.”I sighed. “You make every answer sound like another

  • My Best Friend STOLE MY Husband -So I Married His Brother    Chapter 81: The Signature She Never Gave

    I read Grace’s message so many times that the words began to blur.I AM ALIVE. DON'T TRUST THE ENVELOPE. I HAVE THE REGISTER.Then came the revelation that unsettled me more than the disappearance itself.THE FINAL ENTRY IS MY NAME. I DIDN'T WRITE IT.And finally, the promise that she knew who had signed the third transfer.For the first time in days, we had a reason to believe we could reach the end of this mystery without losing another person to it. But I had learned to be careful with hope. Every time we thought we had found the truth, someone uncovered another document, another lie, or another person who had been hiding in plain sight.“Send her a message,” I told Ethan. “Tell her we need to speak with her immediately.”He shook his head. “Not through that channel. If someone has access to her communications, they'll know we received it.”“Then how do we contact her?”“We wait for the team to verify where the message originated. We also establish a separate channel through the co

  • My Best Friend STOLE MY Husband -So I Married His Brother    Chapter 80: The Name on the Envelope

    Elias Voss was supposed to be a name buried in the old records. Instead, it was written across an envelope left beside an abandoned vehicle, in a railway district where Grace might have disappeared. I looked at the photograph again as Ethan gave instructions to his team. The envelope lay on the platform beneath a flickering light, its white surface marked by a dark thumbprint. There was no sign of Grace in the image, only the open passenger door of the car and a narrow trail of footprints leading toward the station. “Who is Elias Voss?” I asked Margaret as soon as she joined us in the car. She was silent for a moment, searching her memory. “He was listed among the private records custodians,” she said. “The same network connected to the crescent pins. I never met him personally, but Jonathan's notes referred to him as a records examiner. He was responsible for verifying certain transfers before they were entered into the private register.” “Was he trustworthy?” “I don't know. H
