Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife The First Truth Lucien Ever Told Me
The first truth Lucien ever told me did not free him.It condemned him.For years, he claimed that Crowne deceived everyone. He blamed Octavian, Edmund, Darius, Selene, and the hunger created by being raised between two families.Those things influenced him.But they did not sign the documents.They did not forge my name.They did not stand beside me at Gideon’s funeral while knowing my father’s coffin might be empty.Lucien did those things.And for once, he admitted it.“I knew you were innocent,” he repeated. “I let the board blame you because removing your voting power gave me control.”I remained seated before the computer.“What did they accuse me of?”“You authorized transfers through the Mercer relief fund.”“I never had access to that account.”“I created access under your name.”“And when the investigation began?”“I deleted the records connecting me.”“You testified against me.”“Yes.”The memory returned.A long table.Mercer directors refusing to meet my eyes.Lucien seat
Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife My Ex-Husband Brings Me Evidence
We examined the drive inside the old Vale library.Mara sealed the room while Ronan connected the device to an isolated computer. Edmund remained under guard in the corridor. Lucien sat opposite me, his face pale from blood loss and the knowledge of what we were about to see.Caelan stood behind my chair.Close enough to protect me.Far enough to respect the line I had drawn.The drive contained twelve folders.Each one carried a year and a Crowne symbol.The earliest folder was created five years before my marriage to Lucien.“Your involvement started that long ago?” I asked.Lucien looked toward the screen. “I was twenty-three.”“What did they offer you?”“A name.”“You already had one.”“I had Edmund Vale’s name. I wanted Darius Voss’s.”Edmund had raised Lucien as his son, but Darius was his biological father. Lucien spent most of his life trapped between two families, accepted fully by neither.Crowne found that wound and placed a crown over it.The first file contained a video.
Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife Lucien Smells Blood
Lucien’s plan was simple enough to be dangerous.Crowne believed my separation from Caelan had created an opening. Lucien wanted to make that opening appear wider.“You want people to think I’m returning to you?” I asked.“Not returning. Listening.”“That is already too much.”We sat in Gideon’s study with Mara, Ronan, Helena Ward, and Caelan. My husband had returned from Voss Tower after identifying two attackers as former Arden employees.He stood beside the fireplace, separated from me by the length of the room.Lucien occupied the center like a man giving a business presentation instead of proposing that we exploit the collapse of my marriage.“Crowne will not believe Elara has forgiven me,” Lucien said. “They will believe she is angry enough at Caelan to use me.”Caelan’s expression was cold. “You seem comfortable with that role.”“I’ve played worse.”“That is not a defense.”“I’m not defending myself.”Helena tapped the table. “Explain what this gains us.”“Access. Octavian’s me
Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife He Does Not Ask Me to Stay
I slept for less than an hour.When I woke, Mercer House was already filled with investigators. Broken glass had been covered with temporary boards. Security teams moved through the garden searching for shell casings, footprints, and hidden devices.The attack had failed, but it had changed the house.Every open doorway looked like an entry point.Every silent corridor seemed to hold a watcher.Caelan’s guest room was empty.His bed had not been touched.On the table beside it, he had left a sealed folder bearing my name.Inside was a full list of every account, property, archive, and private security system he controlled. Passwords had been written beside each item.The final page gave me independent authority to access all Voss records connected to Crowne.There were no conditions.No request that I return.No carefully worded message explaining why I still needed him.Only one handwritten sentence.No more locked doors.I read it twice.Then I closed the folder and became angry.It
Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife Separate Rooms, Separate Hearts
The lights died before I could answer Caelan’s call.Mara seized my arm and dragged me behind the thick stone wall beside the staircase. Gideon dropped behind the overturned dining table with his gun raised toward the shattered windows.Lucien remained on his knees in the center of the foyer.“Move!” I shouted.He threw himself sideways just as another bullet entered through the broken window. It struck the marble floor where he had been kneeling.“That shot came from inside the grounds,” Mara said.Her voice remained calm, but her free hand was already pressing the alarm button on her watch.Mercer House had emergency generators. They should have activated within three seconds.Five seconds passed.Then ten.The house remained dark.“They disabled the generators before cutting the main supply,” Gideon said. “Someone was already here.”Footsteps moved on the upper floor.Slow.Deliberate.Mara signaled to the two guards near the front entrance. One moved toward the stairs while the ot
Reborn as the Ruthless Heir’s Contract Wife Our Marriage Was Built on His Lie
We returned to the penthouse after midnight.The last time I entered our bedroom, I had believed the distance between us was created by the possibility that Caelan had been involved in my death.Now I knew the opposite.He had died trying to save me.Somehow, the truth hurt more.The bedroom carried evidence of the marriage we had built after the contract stopped controlling us. My book lay open on his bedside table. His watch rested beside the hand cream I always forgot to use. One of my earrings remained beneath his pillow from the night we stopped pretending the single bed was an inconvenience.None of those moments were false.That was what made the lie so difficult to survive.Caelan stood near the door.He had followed me from the bank without attempting to speak. He understood that explanations had reached their limit.I removed the wedding ring from the chain around my neck.His gaze fell to it.“I’m not throwing this at you,” I said.“I didn’t think you would.”“I considered
