Chapter 36- NEW IDENTITY

作者: Victor ellis
last update 公開日: 2026-06-07 05:50:30

Several weeks had passed since I escaped the mansion.

I haven't heard from Clara in a long time, I really hope she's ok and she hasn't been caught. I didn't know what Adrian was planning or whether I should still be trying to run.

But for the meantime I was still free.

That freedom came with a heavy price. I couldn’t just hide forever. I needed to live. I needed money. I needed to become someone new, someone that wouldn't be recognized as Adrian's wife. No matter how small the resemblance is.

  • THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED   Chapter 72- THE CHASE

    Adrian turned around at the sound of the receptionist’s respectful greeting. His eyes landed on Clara walking side by side with Aisha near the exit. She was dressed neatly in a simple but professional outfit, carrying a small bag, looking nothing like the frightened maid he remembered from the mansion. For a moment, he wasn’t sure. Then recognition hit him hard.“Clara?” he called out, his voice deep and commanding, cutting through the quiet studio.Clara froze mid-step. Her head snapped toward the sound. When she saw Adrian standing there in his dark suit, tall and imposing, her face went pale. Panic flooded her eyes. Without a word, she turned and ran. She pushed past Aisha, who looked confused, and bolted straight out the front door.“Clara!” Adrian shouted, but she didn’t stop.She ran into the street, waving desperately at the first taxi she saw. The driver pulled over quickly. Clara jumped in, slamming the door behind her.“Go!” she gasped. “Please, just drive!”The taxi sped aw

  • THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED   Chapter 71- HOMECOMING SHADOWS

    I stepped off the plane feeling the familiar weight of exhaustion settle into my bones. The flight back had been long, but my mind had been busier than the engines. I had secured the deal in Southeast Asia, the new suppliers would give Lumina an edge we desperately needed. Yet as I walked through the airport terminal pulling my suitcase, all I could think about was my children. My phone buzzed as I reached the arrivals area. A new email from the Laurent Group. I opened it quickly.Dear Miss Voss,We understand you have been busy. We respectfully request even a short meeting at your convenience. The Laurent family would be grateful for any insights you can share. Please consider this request seriously.I closed the email without replying. They were persistent. Too persistent. I slipped the phone back into my bag and continued walking.Another notification came through. It was a text from Nathan.‘Adrian called me last night. Asked if I still talk to Serena. I hung up on him. Be carefu

  • THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED   Chapter 70- THE LAURENT'S FAMILY FALLING EMPIRE

    The boardroom at Laurent Global was heavy with tension. The long mahogany table was covered with reports, charts, and half-empty coffee cups. Ten men and three women sat around it, their faces grim. Victor Laurent sat at the head, his fingers drumming restlessly on the polished wood. Adrian stood by the window, arms crossed, staring out at the city skyline as if the answers were written there.One of the senior executives cleared his throat. “Our market value has dropped another twelve percent this week. Three major investors have pulled out completely. They cited ‘instability in family leadership’ as the reason.”Another director added, “The wedding scandal is still trending. Videos from that day are everywhere. Partnerships we were close to finalizing have been put on hold or canceled. Two suppliers in Asia have already switched to Hale Corporation. They don’t want to be associated with us right now.”Victor’s face turned red. He slammed his hand on the table. “We were number one! N

  • THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED   Chapter 69- NEW DOORS

    I stepped out of the meeting room in Singapore with a quiet smile on my face. The deal was done. After three long days of presentations, factory visits, and late-night negotiations, the supplier had agreed to exclusive rights for Lumina. Their organic dyes and rare natural fibers were exactly what I needed for the next collection. The contract gave us priority for the next two years at a price that still left good profit margins. I shook hands with the owner one last time.“Thank you for trusting us,” I said. “This partnership will be good for both sides.”He smiled warmly. “We believe in your vision, Miss Voss. Your brand stands for something real. We are happy to grow together.”I left the building feeling lighter than I had in weeks. The trip had been worth it. Lumina was expanding again, this time with materials that would make our products truly unique. I called Emma immediately as I walked to the car.“The deal is signed,” I told her. “Everything went better than expected. I’ll

  • THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED   Chapter 68- UNSEEN RESEMBLANCE

    Emma kept her face calm and professional even though her heart was racing. She had recognized Adrian’s mother the moment she stepped into the studio. The older woman carried herself with the same cold authority Emma remembered from the mansion. For the sake of the watching staff, Emma refused to show any discomfort. Leading by bad example was not how Lumina operated.“Good morning,” Emma said politely, extending her hand. “I’m Emma, the manager. How may I help you today?”Adrian’s mother shook her hand briefly, her grip firm. “I saw your collection online. I’m interested in a particular design, the midnight blue scarf with the silver thread pattern. Do you have it in stock?”Emma nodded without hesitation. “Yes, we do. It’s one of our signature pieces. The silver threading is hand-stitched and uses sustainable metallic fibers. How many would you like to purchase?”They moved to a quiet meeting corner. Emma spread out sample books and fabric swatches on the table. Adrian’s mother sat w

  • THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED   Chapter 67- TIME TO MOVE

    I couldn’t sit still.After we got home safely, I waited until the twins were settled before I called Emma. She had stayed behind at the school to speak with the police. My hands were still shaking when I dialed her number.“Emma,” I said the moment she picked up. “What did the police say? Who was that man following us? Did he tell them who sent him?”Emma’s voice was calm, but I could hear the worry underneath. “He didn’t speak much. He asked to make one phone call. The officers let him, but they stayed close. He didn’t say who he was calling. They’re still questioning him now. They think he might be connected to someone powerful. They promised to update us as soon as they know more.”I closed my eyes. My gut was screaming one name. Adrian. It had to be him. No one else would go to this length. But I couldn’t be sure. Not yet.“I’m going to be extra careful from now on,” I told her. “We can’t take any chances with the kids.”I hung up and stared at the phone for a long moment. Then I

    My eyes fluttered open.Nathan was between my thighs, his mouth on me. He was licking me slowly, lovingly, his hands holding my hips. When he noticed I was awake, he looked up at me with dark, hungry eyes but didn’t stop.“Shh,” he whispered against my skin. “Just relax. Let me take care of you.”I

  • THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED   Chapter 43- THE SECOND TRIMESTER

    The second trimester brought changes I wasn’t fully ready for. My belly was growing noticeably now. It wasn’t huge yet, but it was round and firm, a constant reminder that two little lives were developing inside me. Every morning when I stood in front of the mirror, I placed both hands on it and w

  • THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED   Chapter 42- THE OFFER

    The days in the cabin had started to feel almost normal. I woke up every morning with the same routine now. The nausea was still there, but it was manageable if I ate small portions of ginger biscuits Emma kept on the bedside table. I would sit by the window with a cup of weak tea, my hand resting

  • THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED   Chapter 41- THE FIRST TRIMESTER

    The nausea kept hitting me like a wave every single morning. I woke up before the sun rose, my stomach already turning. I barely made it to the bathroom before I was on my knees, vomiting into the toilet. The taste was bitter. My body shook with each heave. When it finally stopped, I rested my for
