Rebecca's finger stopped a fraction of an inch above the touchpad.

The hidden folder sat quietly on the screen.

FILE 13

No date.

No size.

No preview.

Just a small gray padlock.

Sarah spoke first.

"Don't."

Rebecca looked at her.

"Evelyn warned us."

"The attacker warned us."

Jonathan nodded slowly.

"Two enemies don't usually give the same advice."

Gabriel wasn't convinced.

"Unless they wanted to make us curious."

Morales closed the laptop halfway.

"Nobody touches it."

For once, no one argued.

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 107: Flight to Zurich

    No one spoke for several seconds.The only sound in the abandoned greenhouse was the soft hum of Morales' laptop.Claire's recorded voice still echoed in Rebecca's mind.Someone has activated the Zurich vault.Not opened.Activated.Jonathan noticed the distinction immediately."They've found the vault."Rebecca looked at him."But they can't get inside."He nodded."The first lock is engaged."Sarah opened her notebook."Which means they still need two things."She looked at Rebecca."The bronze key.""And the locket."Rebecca instinctively slipped the silver chain beneath her shirt.For the first time since her mother's death, she understood why Claire had insisted she never remove it.It had never been jewelry.It was part of a key.Morales closed the laptop."We leave immediately."Jonathan agreed."The longer we stay here...""...the easier we are to find."Gabriel looked toward Harrison."What about him?"The detective tried to stand but nearly collapsed."My arm's fine.""It is

    Rebecca's finger stopped a fraction of an inch above the touchpad.The hidden folder sat quietly on the screen.FILE 13No date.No size.No preview.Just a small gray padlock.Sarah spoke first."Don't."Rebecca looked at her."Evelyn warned us.""The attacker warned us."Jonathan nodded slowly."Two enemies don't usually give the same advice."Gabriel wasn't convinced."Unless they wanted to make us curious."Morales closed the laptop halfway."Nobody touches it."For once, no one argued.The group moved back into the shelter of the greenhouse.The helicopter was gone.The forest had fallen unnaturally quiet.Even the insects seemed to have disappeared.Sebastian picked up Evelyn's abandoned medical satchel."It feels heavier."Sarah looked inside again.This time she removed the false bottom.Hidden beneath it was a slim leather notebook.Not Claire's.Not Daniel's.Evelyn's.The first page contained only one sentence.If you're reading this, then I successfully disappeared.Rebecc

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 105: The Black Helicopter

    The helicopter descended in a slow, deliberate circle.Its rotors churned the tops of the eucalyptus trees, sending leaves spiraling through the air.Rebecca shielded her eyes."There aren't any markings."Morales nodded grimly."No registration number.""No tail identification.""Who flies without identification?"Jonathan answered quietly."People who don't want governments asking questions."Evelyn never took her eyes off the aircraft."They're earlier than I expected."Sarah looked at her."You knew they were coming?""I knew they'd find Harrison."She glanced toward the wounded detective."I just hoped we'd have another hour."Morales frowned."How?"Evelyn pointed toward Daniel's watch, now lying in Rebecca's pocket."They've been tracking it."Rebecca instinctively reached for her jacket."The watch?"Jonathan's expression hardened."Daniel knew it.""He deliberately carried it."Sarah's eyes widened."He used himself as bait."Jonathan nodded."For years."The helicopter hover

    No one moved.The name meant nothing to Rebecca.Nothing to Sebastian.Nothing to Ava.But Jonathan staggered back as though someone had struck him."Evelyn..."He whispered."I thought you were dead."The woman smiled sadly."So did everyone else."Morales kept his pistol raised."I need a reason not to arrest you."Evelyn glanced at the weapon."If I wanted any of you dead..."She looked around the clearing."...you wouldn't have reached the greenhouse."The statement wasn't arrogant.It was simply factual.Jonathan nodded."She's telling the truth."Rebecca's attention never left Evelyn."You knew my mother."Evelyn met her gaze."I owed her my life.""When?""Long before you were born."She looked toward the distant hills."Kenya."The word instantly silenced everyone.Sarah opened Claire's journal."Lake Naivasha."Evelyn nodded."August 1987."Rebecca stepped closer."Tell us everything."Evelyn hesitated.Then she looked at Harrison."First..."She knelt beside the wounded dete

    The echo of the gunshots rolled through the trees.Then...Silence.No birds.No wind.No movement.Everyone remained frozen inside the abandoned greenhouse.Morales was the first to react."Harrison!"Without waiting for backup, he sprinted toward the broken doorway.Rebecca followed instinctively."Rebecca, stop!" Jonathan shouted.She ignored him.By the time the others reached the edge of the greenhouse, Morales had disappeared into the eucalyptus grove.The forest floor was soft with fallen leaves.Fresh footprints cut a winding path between the trees.Three different trails.One belonged to Harrison.Another had smaller boot prints—the kind a woman might wear.The third was heavier.Military-style boots.Sarah crouched beside the tracks."There were at least three people here."Jonathan studied the ground."No."He pointed farther ahead."There are four."Everyone looked closer.Almost hidden beneath the leaves was a fourth set of prints.Bare feet.Rebecca frowned."Someone was

    Rebecca's hand tightened around the flashlight.The silver strand of hair swayed gently from the wooden rung.Jonathan carefully removed it and held it beneath the light."It's fresh."Sarah examined it."No dust.""No decay.""She was here very recently."Morales looked toward the ceiling hatch."How recently?"Jonathan answered quietly."Within the last few hours."A heavy silence settled over the nursery.The Curator had been inside Claire's sanctuary.Perhaps while they were searching another room.Perhaps while they were listening to Claire's videotape.The thought sent a chill through everyone."We're going up."Rebecca placed one foot on the ladder.Morales immediately stepped in front of her."No."She frowned."What do you mean, no?""If someone's waiting up there, you don't go first."He holstered his radio, drew his flashlight and pistol, and placed one boot on the first rung."I do."Rebecca wanted to argue.Instead, she nodded.The ladder creaked softly beneath Morales' w

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 4: Heat, Glass, and Control

    The desert night carried a different kind of silence.Not the soft, rain-soaked hush Lena remembered from other cities—but something drier, sharper. The air in Tucson clung to the skin even after sunset, holding the day’s heat like a secret it refused to let go.From the top floor of the building,

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 13: The Truth You Didn’t Want

    The hallway was quiet.Too quiet.The kind of silence that pressed in on you, waiting for something to break it.Lena stood by the door, her hand still resting lightly against the handle.And on the other side of that threshold—Sebastian Crouch.No audience.No interruptions.No distractions.Just

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 6: Lines You Shouldn’t Cross

    The desert heat didn’t wait for permission.By midday, Tucson burned.Sunlight poured through the glass walls of the executive floor, turning every surface into something too bright, too exposed. Shadows were short. Nowhere to hide.And yet—Sebastian Crouch stood in the one place that felt darker

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 5: Cracks Beneath Control

    Morning in Tucson arrived without apology.The sun rose fast, harsh and golden, spilling through the glass walls of the penthouse like an interrogation light. It didn’t soften edges. It exposed them.Lena stood by the window, barefoot, a cup of untouched coffee cooling in her hand.Below her, the c
