Chapter 180

Outside her bedroom door, she could hear Margaret's laughter and Elena's soft voice responding to something.

She thought about Stefan's words from that morning: We're supposed to be partners. We tell each other everything.

But how could she tell him this? How could she explain that the mother who she'd always thought was dead was being used as leverage against them? How could she ask him to choose between her past and their future?

The phone buzzed again, and with shaking hands, she opened the new message.

Unknown Number: You have two hours. Come alone, or she dies.

Attached was an address on the outskirts of the city, in a part of town where screams wouldn't be heard and bodies disappeared without questions being asked.

She stared at the screen until the words blurred together, her mind racing through impossible choices and unthinkable consequences.

Stefan wouldn't forgive her if he found out what she was about to do. They'd lose everything - the trust they'd built, the

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    SHE COULD FEEL HIS HEART RACING BENEATH HER PALM

    Chapter 190Stefan turned from the window and his eyes were moist, Mia heart ached for him.He was the one that had to feel the heat if the rivalry mostly.He was still a baby when it all started. Their fathers are both trash."I went home that afternoon," Elizabeth said. "And two days later, Samuel came to see me. He looked different, clean-shaven, dressed in an expensive suit I'd never seen before. He sat in my living room and he told me he'd found a way forward. That he'd met someone who could help him fight back.""My mother," Mia whispered."Your mother," Elizabeth confirmed. "She was the only daughter to her parents, who were one of the billionaires. They had old money, lots of it. Samuel had met her at some charity event the day before and he'd charmed her completely. He was good at that, when he wanted to be, Samuel could make you feel like you were the only person in the world who mattered."Ethan's face had gone carefully blank, the way it did when he was processing somethi

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    HE'D PLANNED IT, YOU SEE. PLANNED ALL OF IT.

    Chapter 189Mia felt sick. "That's why they hate each other? Over some woman from decades ago?""It wasn't just the woman," Elizabeth said. "It was everything that came after. Jeremiah didn't just marry Annabelle - he took the business they'd built together. He used information Samuel had shared with him in confidence to secure contracts and investments. He basically stole everything and left Samuel with nothing."Elena's eyes narrowed. "So Samuel wasn't the one that started it?"Sianna spoke up, her voice quieter than usual, her eyes on her mother. “So my dad started it, but Samuel became worse, didn’t he? He killed people, tried to kill Mia, how do you explain that?”Elizabeth’s gaze dropped, her fingers tracing the edge of her knitting. “Samuel changed after the betrayal, became harder, colder, but he wasn’t always a monster,” she said, her voice soft, almost pleading.Elizabeth's hands unfolded slowly in her lap, fingers trembling just enough that Mia noticed. "Who were affected

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    ON THE DAY OF THEIR WEDDING, SAMUEL WASN'T THE GROOM

    Chapter 188Two weeks later.The detention center smelled like bleach and concrete. Samuel Meyer sat on his narrow cot, staring at the wall across from his cell. Fourteen days had passed since the verdict and nobody had come to see him. Not Mia, not Ethan, not even his lawyers. He'd expected at least one of them would show up but the silence stretched on like everything else in this place.When footsteps echoed down the hallway, Samuel looked up. A guard stopped outside his cell and jangled his keys."Meyer. You got a visitor."He stood slowly and smoothed down his orange jumpsuit. Finally. It had to be one of the kids. Maybe Ethan felt guilty about testifying against him or maybe Mia wanted closure. He followed the guard down the corridor toward the visiting room, his steps measured and calm.The visiting room had plastic chairs on both sides of a thick glass partition with phones mounted on the walls. Samuel walked through the door and stopped cold.It wasn't one of his children

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    HER NIGHTMARE WAS FINALLY OVER

    Chapter 187The courtroom felt like it was holding its breath. Ethan's voice cracked as he continued his testimony, each word seeming to cost him something."My dad found out that my mom was cheating on him and killed her instead. After that he killed her lover too."The silence stretched until it felt unbearable. Then Ethan dropped the bombshell that changed everything."The man my father killed was Liam Chen. Grey's younger brother."Every head in the courtroom turned toward the back where Grey Chen sat. His broad shoulders tensed and his hands slowly curled into fists on his lap. The pain that crossed his face was raw and immediate.The prosecutor stood quickly. "Your Honor, the State calls Grey Chen to the stand."Grey rose from his seat like a man carrying the weight of the world. His heavy footsteps echoed through the silent courtroom as he walked to the witness box. When the bailiff held out the Bible for the oath, Grey's voice was steady but rough around the edges."I swear t

  • THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: Marry To Rival's Son    SHE WAS PLANNING TO KILL ELENA

    Chapter 186The courtroom was so quiet you could hear the soft hum of the air conditioning. Mia sat in the witness chair, her hands folded over her growing belly, her voice steady as she faced the jury. She had been on the stand for over an hour, methodically destroying the image of Samuel Meyer piece by piece."Mrs. Sterling," the prosecutor said, adjusting his glasses, "can you tell the court how you first discovered evidence of your father's crimes?"Mia took a deep breath, her eyes briefly finding Stefan in the gallery. He nodded encouragingly, his face tight with barely contained emotion."I was at my friend, Elena's room about weeks ago. She had stepped to take a shower, and her phone was sitting on her bad when it buzzed with a message notification." Mia's voice was clear, but those who knew her could hear the underlying tremor. "I glanced at it without thinking, the way you might when someone's phone goes off near you."Samuel's lawyer, Marcus Wright, one of the most expensi

    Chapter 185Mia turned to see Stefan taking long strides toward her, his face a mixture of relief and pride. Without hesitation, he wrapped her in a tight embrace, holding her as if he'd feared he might never see her again."You were amazing in there," he said when he finally pulled back to look at her face."Thank you for trusting me," Mia replied, her voice thick with emotion. The weight of everything they'd accomplished together settled between them."I trust you with my life, love," Stefan said softly, placing a kiss to her forehead before taking her hands. Together, they walked toward his car, fingers intertwined.As they drove toward their penthouse, Mia's phone rang. Detective Martinez's voice filled the car through the speaker."Mrs. Meyer, we're moving on the warehouse now. Grey is inside with your father, and we have confirmation that your aunt is in the building."Mia gripped Stefan's hand tighter. "Is she safe?""We're about to find out. Stay on the line."Through the phon
