THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 160- TOO LATE
Adrian’s eyes remained fixed on the photograph on the administrator’s phone. Sunshine Academy.His children were there.For one second, the noise around him disappeared. He could only think about Lila and Elias. Alexander had found the one thing that could make Serena panic.Adrian turned toward the exit and stormed out of the building without telling anyone, he was in so much hurry. He pulled out his phone as he walked. The first call went to one of the security men at the Laurent mansion.“Get to Sunshine Academy at the center of the city now.”The man immediately became alert. “Sir?”“My children are there. I want you at the school before I arrive.”“Yes, sir.”“And listen carefully. Nobody takes them. Nobody. If anyone claims Serena or I sent them, verify it with us first.”“I understand.”Adrian ended the call and dialed another security man. “You heard the same order?”“Yes, sir. I’m already leaving.”“Good.”He rushed outside, got into his car and started the engine. His hands
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 159- CLOSER THAN WE THOUGHT
I stared at the phone in the investigator’s hand. The call had ended, but those words were still ringing in my ears. You were supposed to leave before they found you. Then the voice. I knew that voice. Emma reached my side. “Elena, what happened?” I looked at her. “That was Alexandra, the one that offered to make Lumina global back then but turned out to be a fraud.” Her face went blank. “Oh, that Alex?” “Yes.” The investigator frowned. “Who is Alex?” Nobody moved. Even the investigators seemed unsure what to say. I took a breath. “He is a man who was arrested for fraud a few months ago.” The investigator looked at the IT administrator. “Is that who contacted you?” The man lowered his eyes. “Yes.” My stomach twisted. “You knew it was him?” He swallowed. “Yes.” “You let him do this after working with us so long?” “I didn’t have a choice.” “You always have a choice, if you had come to me.” He looked at me, terrified. “Not when someone threatens your f
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 158- THE MAN BEHIND THE SYSTEM
“Do you have access to every file in my company?” Nathan was silent for a moment. “Why are you asking me that?” “Because something is wrong at Lumina.” I looked across the conference room. Employees were still gathered together. Investigators stood near the door while Emma was speaking quietly with security. The IT administrator was nowhere to be seen. Nathan’s voice became serious. “What happened?” I told him everything. The fake financial records. The maintenance worker. The missing visitor log. The eleven-minute camera blackout. Then I told him about the IT administrator disappearing during the blackout. Nathan listened without interrupting. “Serena,” he finally said, “if that man has access to your internal network and security system, you need to check his computer.” My eyes moved toward Emma. “You’re right.” “Do it now.” “I will.” I ended the call and walked straight toward Emma. “Where is the IT administrator?” Emma’s face tightened. “The police has deployed officer
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 157- THE DECISION HE SHOULDN'T MAKE
Nathan sat behind his desk, staring at a financial chart that he had been reading for almost twenty minutes. His eyes moved across the numbers, but his mind was somewhere else. The hospital. Serena. And Adrian. He leaned back and closed his eyes. The image came back again. Serena sleeping peacefully against Adrian’s shoulder. Adrian sitting there as if he belonged beside her. The way he had looked at Nathan had been enough to make his blood boil. Nathan opened his eyes and pushed the chart away. “Damn it.” He stood and walked toward the window. He had spent the entire night thinking about Serena. He had told himself that giving her space was the right thing to do. He had promised not to pressure her. But what had that gotten him? Adrian was still there. Nathan clenched his jaw. “Why?” Why was Serena still allowing Adrian to stay so close to her after everything he had done? Adrian had hurt her. He had broken her trust and pushed her away when she needed him most. Yet som
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 156- THE PERSON AMONG US
I looked at Emma. “Gather all employees right now. I want to see everyone, every single person.”“Is everything ok?” The investigator asked. “These evidence was planted by someone. And they got help from someone who works for me.” “Does that mean—”“Yes.” I cut in. “There's a spy among us.”Emma quickly ordered all employees to gather together inside the conference Hall. When I entered inside. I looked around the conference hall. Nearly every employee was standing or sitting in silence. The tension was so thick that nobody dared whisper.Emma stood beside me while two investigators watched from the back of the room.“Everyone needs to stay calm,” I said. “I know this situation is frightening, but I need the truth.”Nobody answered.“Someone entered Lumina yesterday using a fake maintenance identity. That person planted documents in our financial records to frame us. As you all know, my business is honestly, I have been running this business for years now. So this whole situation is
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 155- A SPY AMONG US
I stared at the black USB drive inside the evidence bag. The investigator watched me closely. “Do you recognize it?” I swallowed. “I’ve seen one like that before.” “Where?” “In my office.” His eyes narrowed. “This one was found in your private desk.” “Then perhaps you can explain why it was there.” “I can’t.” Emma stepped forward. “Someone planted it.” The investigator looked at her. “That is an accusation, not an explanation.” “It’s the truth,” Emma replied. He turned back to me. “Your company is being investigated for financial fraud. Documents were found inside your financial records. Now this device has been discovered in your office.” “I didn’t put it there.” “I didn’t say you did.” “But you’re thinking about it.” He said nothing. Adrian stepped beside me. “She just arrived. Give her a moment.” The investigator looked at him. “And you are?” “Adrian Laurent.” The investigator’s expression changed slightly. “Laurent?” “Yes.” Adrian replied. “Then you understand h
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 8- LINES DRAWN
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
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 6- INVISIBLE
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
THE BRIDE HE NEVER WANTED Chapter 7- RULES OF THE HOUSE
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
