My Fiancée Married My Sister Chapter 62
Noah didn't look convinced, and I didn't fully blame him. "You believe him," he said carefully, sitting down across from me. "Just like that. After weeks of threats and burner phones and stolen samples.""I don't believe him blindly," I clarified. "I believe the desperation underneath it. There's a difference. People who are genuinely calculating don't crack the way he cracked once someone actually asked what he was really angry about.""That's remarkably charitable of you." Noah's expression softened slightly, some of the tension easing out of his shoulders. "Even for you.""Maybe." I leaned back against the couch, exhaustion finally catching up with the adrenaline of the call. "Or maybe I just recognize what it looks like, wanting someone to notice you're hurting so badly you'll do something destructive just to force the reaction. I spent a long time being quietly furious instead of loudly furious, because loud never got me anywhere in my family. Daniel just found a louder version o

My whole body went still, the phone suddenly heavy against my ear. I glanced toward the hallway, toward the low murmur of Noah's voice still audible through his office door, and made a split-second decision to keep talking rather than call him over immediately."I don't think we have anything to say to each other," I said, keeping my voice as even as I could manage despite my racing pulse."I disagree." Daniel's voice carried an easy, unbothered confidence that unsettled me more than aggression would have. "I think we have quite a lot to discuss, actually. More than Eleanor's lawyers would probably like.""If you have something to say, say it to them. I'm not doing this alone, over the phone, with someone who's spent weeks trying to intimidate me.""Intimidate is a strong word." A faint, humorless laugh. "I'd call it information sharing. Someone should be honest with you, Ms. Reed, since apparently my aunt has decided honesty is a resource to be rationed out on her own timeline.""Ele

The next few days passed in a tense, watchful quiet, Eleanor's legal team working overtime to document the discarded sample's chain of custody while Marcus quietly tracked any sign of Daniel Voss surfacing publicly with whatever he thought he had. Nothing came. No article, no statement, no further anonymous texts. The silence should have felt like relief. Instead it felt like held breath."He's waiting," Noah said one evening, studying the latest update from Marcus with a frown. "For the real confirmation to go public. He wants maximum damage, not an early strike that gives us time to prepare a defense.""So we just keep waiting too," I said, exhausted by the whole strange chess match of it. "Watching for a move that might not come for weeks.""We keep living," Noah corrected gently. "Waiting doesn't have to mean stopping everything else."He was right, and I forced myself to lean into that advice over the following week, throwing myself back into the collection's momentum— the depart

I read the message three times before I trusted myself to show it to Noah, my hands cold despite the warmth still lingering in the car from the day's sunlight."He's not stopping," I said quietly, handing him the phone. "Even after the statement. Even after nothing came of the last threat."Noah's jaw tightened as he read it, his expression sharpening into the same controlled focus I'd seen the night of the burner phone. "'The second sample she almost used instead.' That's specific enough to be either something real, or something engineered to sound real. I don't like either possibility.""Should we call Eleanor?" I asked, already reaching for my own phone. "Tonight? Or wait until morning?""Tonight," Noah said firmly. "If there's any truth to this, even a fragment, I don't want her hearing about it secondhand or reading it in some half-formed article tomorrow."Eleanor answered on the second ring, her voice still carrying the warm exhaustion of the day's earlier conversation, which s

I didn't sleep at all after Eleanor's message. Noah and I sat together on the terrace until the sky started lightening, both of us too wired for rest, cycling through every possible version of what "preliminary numbers" and "I think this is really it" could mean."She said preliminary," I kept repeating, like saying it enough times might change its shape into something more certain. "Not final. Not confirmed. Preliminary.""I know," Noah said gently, his hand steady over mine on the cold terrace railing. "But she also said 'this is really it.' Eleanor doesn't use language like that carelessly. Whatever she saw in those numbers, it was enough to break her usual restraint."We left for the estate before seven, the early light gold and thin across the highway, neither of us speaking much during the drive, both of us holding our own private versions of hope and dread too fragile to risk voicing aloud. By the time we arrived, Eleanor was already waiting on the front steps, still in her rob

The days after Daniel Voss's threat fizzled into nothing settled into something quieter than I'd expected— not peace exactly, but a wary, watchful calm, like a storm that had passed close enough to rattle the windows without actually breaking them.Eleanor called every few days with updates that amounted, mostly, to patience. The second test was underway, moving as quickly as the lab could manage without compromising accuracy. Daniel Voss had gone silent entirely, whether cowed by the foundation's swift legal response or simply biding his time for a better opportunity. Noah's people kept a quiet watch on his movements regardless, unwilling to assume the danger had fully passed just because it had gone quiet."I keep waiting for the next thing," I admitted to Diana one afternoon, the two of us finally, blessedly, just enjoying a normal lunch instead of hunched over production schedules or crisis texts. "It feels strange, having an actual quiet moment. Like I don't know what to do with
