THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 268 — TWO BETRAYALS
My phone kept ringing on the nightstand. I stared at Mr. Victor’s name for another second before answering. “Hello, Mr. Victor. Is everything all right?” “No, Serena. I’m sorry to call you this late, but something has happened to Adrian.” My heart skipped. “What happened? Is he all right?” “His head has been hurting badly. He can barely get comfortable, and we’re trying to understand what caused it.” I sat straighter on the bed. “Did he fall? Did he hit his head?” “No. That’s what worries me. I believe it has something to do with what Lia gave him tonight.” The moment I heard her name, I stood up. “Lia?” I asked sharply. “What do you mean? Is Lia in that mansion? What did she give Adrian?” Mr. Victor let out a troubled breath. “She came to the mansion earlier and asked to stay for the night. Adrian allowed her into the guest room. Later, a maid noticed she was missing from her room and went looking for her. When she checked Adrian’s room, she found Lia with him.” My finger
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 267 — THE VIDEO
“Show me.” Clara moved closer to the bed and unlocked her phone. I gave Lila to Clara while I played the recording. “Are you sure you want to watch it now?” Clara asked quietly. “Yes. I need to see what he did.” She handed me the phone. The video began with a view through the small opening in my bedroom door. Nathan stood beside my bed, his shirt already off. I watched him lean over me, touching my shoulder and trying to get a response. I did not move. He shook me again, harder this time, but my eyes remained closed. He looked around the room before turning back to me. My fingers tightened around the phone. I watched him reach for my blouse and pull it open. Then he turned his attention to my trousers. The recording caught enough for me to understand what he had been doing. He had not been helping me. He had been preparing to take advantage of me while I could not defend myself. My own face stared back at me from the screen. I looked completely unaware of the danger beside
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 266 — THE MAN THEY TRUSTED
“How dare you touch Serena.” Nathan touched his burning cheek and stared at Emma. He still could not believe she had slapped him. “You’re making a mistake,” he said. “I came in here because Serena wasn’t feeling well. I was only checking up on her health.” Emma’s eyes narrowed. “You bastard. You dare lie after being caught red handed?” “I'm serious, Serena and I are close. She trusts me, I would never do that.” One of the guards tightened his grip on Nathan’s arm. “Then why were you trying to take her clothes off while she was unconscious?” “I was helping her get comfortable,” Nathan answered quickly. “She was overheated and couldn’t do it herself.” “Liar,” Clara said from the bed. Nathan turned toward her. “You weren’t even here. You don’t know what happened.” “I know what Lila saw. I know what we found when we came in.” His eyes flicked to the little girl. Lila had both hands wrapped around Clara’s arm. She looked frightened, but she did not look away from him. Nathan swa
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 265 — CAUGHT
Nathan’s fingers finally worked the stubborn button free. The fabric gave a soft pop. He tugged the zipper down next, slow and sure. Serena lay still on the bed, face turned to the wall, breathing even and deep. Nothing would wake her now. The obstacle keeping him from starting what he came to do was gone. His shirt was already on the floor somewhere behind him. He unzipped his trousers too and climbed the bed. The cool air of the room touched his bare back. He reached for the waistband of her trousers, ready to slide them down her hips. Then the door slammed open so hard it bounced off the wall. Nathan’s head snapped around. Four security men filled the doorway. Behind them stood Emma, phone in her hand, face hard as stone. Clara was a step to the side, one arm around Lila. For one second Nathan froze. The calm certainty he had carried all night cracked and fell away. His hands were still on Serena’s trousers. One of the guards crossed the room in two long steps. A thick
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 264 — EVIDENCE
Clara stayed closer to the gap, phone raised, body angled just enough to catch what was happening inside without stepping into the light. Clara’s finger pressed the record button. The screen glowed soft in the dark. She held the phone steady with both hands. Her breathing stayed quiet and controlled. From the room came the low sound of movement again. Nathan’s back was to the door. He worked with calm, unhurried motions, as if he had all the time in the world. He worked on Serena's last buttons as if he knew she would not wake up. The button hooked and refused to open. Serena did not stir. Her face stayed turned toward the wall. Clara’s stomach tightened. Nathan looked completely sure she would not wake. Emma glanced at Clara, then back at Lila. She crouched a little so her voice stayed near the child’s ear. “Look at me, okay? Don’t look that way. We’re just checking something. Stay right here with me.” Lila nodded. Clara kept the phone aimed through the narrow opening. She
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 263 — WAKE UP
Clara and Lila stepped into the hallway. The mansion was quiet. Only the soft hum of the air conditioning filled the long corridor. The low night lights cast thin shadows along the walls. Clara still could not believe what Lila had just told her. Her mind kept going back to the words. Nathan. Inside Serena’s room. Trying to take her clothes off while she slept. It sounded impossible. Nathan had come on the beach trip with them. He had argued with Adrian, yes, but this? Clara’s stomach twisted. Lila’s small hand stayed locked around hers. The little girl’s fingers were cold and tight. “He is still there,” Lila whispered, looking up at her. “I saw him, Aunty Clara. He was by Mommy’s bed, we need to hurry, he might be hurting mommy.” Clara looked down at her. Lila’s eyes were wide and wet. Her lower lip trembled. “Are you sure it was him?” Clara asked softly. Lila nodded hard. “It was the uncle from the beach. The one who argued with Daddy. He was standing right next to Mommy.

I spent the morning trying to make myself useful. Anything to feel less like a shadow in this house. One of the younger maids was struggling with heavy flower vases in the main hall, so I stepped in to help carry one. Her eyes widened in surprise, but she gave me a small, grateful smile.We were ha

I avoided everyone for the rest of the day. It wasn’t hard.Nobody came looking for me anyway.The mansion was too large, too cold, filled with people who work as maids. Every hallway felt unfamiliar. Every room reminded me that this wasn’t my home.I spent most of the afternoon sitting near the wi

I stayed slumped against the wall for a long time, his release still sliding down my thighs. The house was quiet now. Too quiet. Later that night, I couldn’t sleep. I wandered the halls, trying to find water, when I heard voices from the guest wing, low, intimate. I froze outside the slightly aj
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 5- THE IMPOSTOR'S RECKONING
Where is Lia?” He asked again. His voice cut through the room like something sharp. I didn’t answer. Not because I didn’t want to, but because I didn’t know where to start.He swung his legs off the bed and stood up, running a hand through his hair. The calm from last night was gone. What stood in
