Nobody moved.

Harrison still held the document in both hands, but the tension in the room had already shifted toward Sebastian.

Because they all knew.

Even before the paper reached the table.

Sebastian’s expression became frighteningly still.

“What birth certificate?” he asked quietly.

Harrison hesitated.

And that hesitation alone confirmed everything.

Lena stepped forward first.

“Give it to me.”

He handed her the document carefully, as though it might explode.

For one terrible second, Lena con

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 47: The Sister He Never Knew

    Chaos erupted inside Room 714.Doctors rushed past Sebastian and Lena.Machines beeped urgently.Nurses issued rapid instructions while security officers cleared the doorway.Within seconds, everyone except medical personnel had been pushed into the hallway.The door slammed shut.A small rectangular window offered only brief glimpses of the frantic activity inside.Sebastian stood motionless.He barely noticed the movement around him.The conversations.The footsteps.The noise.All of it faded into the background.Only three words remained.She's your sister.The sentence echoed through his mind over and over again.Impossible.Completely impossible.Yet Elias Mercer had spoken with absolute certainty.Not confusion.Not hesitation.Certainty.Lena watched him carefully.She knew that expression.During their marriage, Sebastian had always appeared calm under pressure.Controlled.Measured.The man standing beside her now looked shaken in a way she'd never seen before."Sebastian."

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 46: The Room at the End of the Hall

    Phoenix Memorial Hospital was surrounded by police vehicles.The moment Sebastian pulled into the parking garage, he knew the situation had worsened.Uniformed officers stood at every public entrance.Reporters crowded behind barricades.Camera crews pointed their lenses toward the building like hunters waiting for prey to emerge."Looks like we're late," Lena muttered.Sebastian killed the engine."No."His eyes narrowed."I think we're right on time."The confidence in his voice surprised even him.For the first time since his father's death, the pieces were beginning to form a picture.A dangerous picture.But a picture nonetheless.They entered through a secured side entrance arranged by Detective Morales.Inside, the atmosphere felt tense.Nurses moved quickly.Security officers occupied every major intersection.Something had happened.Lena noticed it too."This isn't just about a patient anymore.""No."Sebastian's expression hardened."It stopped being about a patient the mome

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 45: Phoenix

    Nobody slept that night.The discovery that Elias Mercer was alive had shattered whatever certainty remained.For twenty-seven years, he had existed only as a rumor.A missing founder.A forgotten name.A ghost buried beneath corporate history.Now he had a face.A heartbeat.And someone wanted him dead.The Crouch estate remained unusually quiet after midnight.Most of the police officers had been reassigned to monitor the property while reporters camped outside the gates.Inside, however, tension hummed through every hallway.Lena sat alone in the kitchen nursing a cup of coffee that had long since gone cold.Her mind kept returning to the hospital photograph.The resemblance was undeniable.Older.Thinner.Weathered by decades.But still the same man from the photograph hidden inside the wall.Elias Mercer.The forgotten founder.The betrayed partner.The missing piece of every mystery surrounding Hartwell.Footsteps approached behind her.She didn't need to turn.She recognized Se

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 44: The Man Who Refused to Disappear

    The library fell into absolute silence.For a moment, nobody seemed capable of breathing.Detective Morales stood motionless in the doorway while the officer beside him shifted nervously from one foot to the other.Sebastian stared at the detective.Then laughed.Not because anything was funny.Because the alternative was impossible."Elias Mercer?" he said.Morales nodded."That's the name he used."Lena felt her pulse hammering against her ribs.Twenty-seven years.Twenty-seven years of missing records, altered histories, and buried secrets.And now a man carrying that name had appeared in a hospital.Not last year.Not months ago.Three days ago.As if the past had suddenly decided to walk back into their lives."Tell me exactly what happened," Sebastian said.Morales stepped into the room."The hospital contacted Phoenix Police this morning.""Why?""The patient regained consciousness briefly."Lena frowned."Regained consciousness from what?"Morales opened a small notebook."He

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 43: The Betrayal Agreement

    For several seconds after Eleanor's revelation, nobody spoke.The old grandfather clock in the corner of the library ticked steadily, each second sounding unnaturally loud.They stole Hartwell from him.The words lingered in the room like smoke.Lena stared at Eleanor.Surely there had to be more to it.Companies worth billions weren't stolen overnight.Entire histories weren't rewritten by accident.And yet every discovery over the last few days pointed toward the same uncomfortable truth.Someone had spent decades burying Elias Mercer.Not just his ownership.His existence.Sebastian lowered himself into a chair opposite his mother."You need to tell us everything."Eleanor looked exhausted.Not physically.Emotionally.Like a woman carrying a burden she had hidden for too many years."I was twenty-three when I met Elias."Her gaze drifted toward the photograph."He wasn't like the others."Lena remained silent.Letting her continue."Richard wanted power.""Nathaniel wanted legacy.

  • My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me   Chapter 42: The Name Hidden in the Ledger.

    The old library seemed to grow quieter with every passing second.Dust floated lazily through shafts of late-afternoon sunlight as Lena and Sebestian stood beside the hidden compartment.The photograph remained on the table between them.Four men.Four founders.One erased from history.For years, Hartwell's story had always begun with three names.Nathaniel Hart.Richard Crouch.Victor Sketer.Now that the story had been exposed as a lie.Or at least an incomplete truth.Lena couldn't stop staring at the stranger's face.He looked younger than the others.Perhaps in his early thirties.Confident.Comfortable.Not like an employee standing beside powerful men.Like an equal.Like someone who belonged there."Have you ever seen him before?" she asked quietly.Sebastian shook his head."No."Neither had.And that fact bothered him more than he cared to admit.Because his father had preserved this photograph instead of destroying it.That meant Richard Crouch wanted it found eventually.
