Chapter 184

Morning light streamed through stained glass windows, painting rainbow patterns across the white marble floor of St. Thomas Cathedral. Outside, photographers jostled behind velvet ropes as New York's business elite, dressed in their finest, filed into the church. Security personnel with earpieces stood at every entrance, their eyes constantly scanning the crowd.

In a private room off the main chapel, Camille stood before a full-length mirror, barely breathing as her mother fastened the last pearl button on her dress. The gown, a masterpiece of ivory silk and handmade lace, hugged her curves before flowing out in a gentle train.

"Almost done," Margaret whispered, her fingers trembling slightly as she worked. The past months had brought a fragile peace between them – not full forgiveness, but a bridge being built one careful step at a time.

Camille met her mother's eyes in the mirror. "Thank you."

The words held weight beyond the dress, and Margaret blinked back tears as she

    Chapter 187Morning light poured through the windows of their Positano villa, painting golden stripes across rumpled sheets. Camille's sleeping form barely stirred as Alexander slipped from bed. His bandaged hand throbbed with each heartbeat, twelve stitches pulling tight against swollen skin. A fitting reminder of the ugliness beneath his carefully maintained surface.He moved silently across the tiled floor, retrieving his phone from the nightstand. Seven days into their honeymoon, the pattern had been established: rise before Camille, check messages, delete evidence, return to bed as the loving husband she deserved.In the bathroom, door shut and water running to mask any sound, Alexander opened the encrypted messaging app. The contact listed simply as "Guardian" had left three new texts during the night.*Located additional documents from 2013. Kane Industries' targeted takeover plan for Pierce Enterprises mentions Richard by name. Victoria Kane personally signed off on all moves.

    Chapter 186The Italian sun beat down like judgment from above, turning their clifftop villa into a white-hot crucible. Sweat beaded on flesh, sheets soaked through, salt crystallizing on skin as bodies moved together in urgent rhythm. Camille's nails raked down Alexander's back, drawing blood he barely felt. Her legs locked around his waist like a vise as he drove into her with punishing force.This wasn't lovemaking. It was exorcism.Camille's cry echoed off stone walls as she arched beneath him. Her eyes flew open, pupils blown wide, meeting his gaze with naked vulnerability that flayed him alive. For one blinding moment, there was only this, her body taking his, her trust complete, her surrender absolute.Then the moment shattered, and the demons rushed back in.Alexander collapsed beside her, chest heaving. Five days in Amalfi had burned away pretense. Here, they devoured each other hourly, moved together like animals, slept tangled in sweat-soaked sheets. The physical intensity

    Chapter 185The reception stretched into the early hours, a blur of champagne toasts, dance floor laughter, and hundreds of congratulations. By three in the morning, only the hardiest guests remained, clustered in small groups on Victoria's moonlit lawn. Camille sat with her parents and a few Kane Industries board members, her wedding dress pooled around her in a cloud of ivory silk, her eyes bright despite the late hour.Alexander touched her shoulder gently. "I need to check something in my room before we leave," he murmured. "Back in twenty minutes."She reached up to squeeze his hand, not interrupting her conversation. The trust in her touch, the easy way she let him go, twisted in his gut. Such faith deserved matching honesty. Yet here he was, slipping away with a different purpose entirely.The main house stood quiet, most staff having retired after serving the midnight buffet. Alexander moved through familiar hallways, loosening his bow tie with one hand, the other clutching so

    Chapter 183The evening glow bathed Victoria Kane's sprawling estate in golden light as lanterns illuminated the gardens for the rehearsal dinner. Three months had passed since the trial, and life had settled into a new rhythm for Camille. Tomorrow, she would marry Alexander Pierce and truly begin the next chapter of her story.From the edge of the stone terrace, Camille watched the unlikely gathering with quiet wonder, her birth parents chatting with Victoria, Kane Industries executives mingling with Pierce Enterprises innovators. The worlds that had once been separate now blended because of the love between her and Alexander."Penny for your thoughts?" Alexander's voice was warm against her ear as his arms encircled her waist.Camille leaned back against his chest, savoring his strength. "Just taking it all in. Two years ago, I was plotting revenge in Victoria's study. Now...""Now you're running Kane Industries and about to become Mrs. Pierce." He kissed her temple, his lips linge

    Chapter 182The car rolled up the long driveway, gravel crunching beneath the tires. Alexander sat motionless in the passenger seat, his face a mask as he stared at the mansion ahead. Camille drove, giving him the freedom to absorb the sight of his childhood home after seven years away."We can still turn around," she said softly.Alexander shook his head. "No. I need to do this."The Pierce estate stood proud against the autumn sky, all gray stone and tall windows. A place built to show wealth, not to give warmth. Two figures waited on the wide front steps, Eleanor and Edward Pierce, standing close yet somehow apart."They look nervous," Camille observed."Good." Alexander straightened his tie, a gesture Camille recognized as his way of gathering strength. "They should be."She parked near the entrance, turning off the engine. The sudden silence felt heavy."Remember," she said, taking his hand. "Whatever happens in there, I'm with you."Alexander's fingers tightened around hers. "Th
