The maintenance station was silent.

Only the sound of dripping water echoed through the abandoned tunnel.

Ava couldn't breathe.

The caller's final words replayed over and over in her mind.

"Which Ava survived?"

She looked at Damien.

"What does that even mean?"

He didn't answer immediately.

Because for the first time...

He didn't know.

Lucas broke the silence.

"We need to leave."

"If those men tracked us to the hospital, they'll search every exit."

Damien nodded.

"We'll head to one of my saf

  • The Bride in the Blackwood File    Chapter 51: Margaret's Daughter

    The room went completely silent.Ava stared at Margaret.Then at the baby in her arms.Then back at Margaret.“Your daughter?”Margaret nodded.Tears filled her eyes.“Yes.”Ava shook her head slowly.“But Adrian said she was mine.”“He lied.”“He said she carried my blood.”“She does.”Ava's confusion deepened.Margaret stepped closer.“That is what makes this so complicated.”Ethan moved beside Ava.“Start from the beginning.”Margaret looked at him.“Six years ago, Adrian discovered that your grandfather had hidden a second inheritance clause. He knew the Blackwood bloodline alone wasn't enough.”“What did he need?” Damien asked.“A child connected to both families.”Ava frowned.“And that's where this baby comes in?”Margaret nodded.“She was born

  • The Bride in the Blackwood File    Chapter 50: The Child Who Wasn't Mine

    Ava couldn't move.The words kept repeating in her mind.She's his.But not with Ava.She looked at the baby in her arms.Then at Ethan.He looked just as shocked."No," Ethan said quietly.Daniel didn't move."You heard me."Ethan shook his head."That's impossible."Adrian laughed from across the room."Is it?"Ava turned toward him."Stop laughing."Adrian's smile faded."Then ask him."Ava looked at Ethan."Is there something you're not telling me?""I don't know anything about that child.""Daniel says she's yours.""I know what he said.""Then explain it."Ethan looked helpless."I can't."Ava's eyes filled with tears.She looked down at the baby.The little girl was awake now, staring at her with wide eyes.Ava gently touched her cheek."Then why does she feel like mine?"No one answered.Daniel finally spoke."Because you carried her."Ava's head snapped up."What?"Daniel looked at Ethan."Six years ago, Ava gave birth to a baby."Ethan's expression changed."Alex."Daniel no

  • The Bride in the Blackwood File    Chapter 49: The Boy Who Looked Like Ethan

    Ava couldn't breathe.The little boy stood at the end of the corridor, staring at her.He was small.Maybe six years old.His dark hair fell across his forehead, and his eyes were exactly like Ethan's.Even the slight crease between his brows was the same.Ava slowly looked at Ethan.He had gone completely still."No," he whispered.The boy took one step forward."Daddy?"Ethan's face drained of color.Ava's arms tightened around the baby."What did he just call you?"Ethan couldn't answer.The boy took another step."Daddy."This time, Ethan moved.He walked toward the child slowly, as though afraid that one sudden movement would make him disappear."What's your name?"The boy looked at him."Alex."Ethan stopped.Ava's heart raced."Alex?"The boy nodded."That's what they call me."Ethan crouched down in front of him."Who told you I'm your daddy?"The boy pointed toward Adrian."He did."Everyone turned.Adrian smiled.Ava's stomach tightened."You've been keeping him here?""Of c

  • The Bride in the Blackwood File    Chapter 48: The Father Behind the Lies

    Ava stared at the man standing across the corridor.Daniel Blackwood.Her father.For eighteen years, she had believed he was dead.Now he stood before her as though those years had never happened.He extended his hand.“Bring me the child.”Ava instinctively stepped backward.“No.”Daniel's expression remained calm.“You don't understand what you're holding.”“She is my daughter.”“She is the heir.”“She is a baby.”Daniel's eyes hardened.“She is both.”Ethan moved beside Ava.“You're not taking her.”Daniel looked at him.For the first time, something like emotion crossed his face.“Alexander.”Ethan stiffened.“Don't call me that.”“It is your name.”“It was a name you abandoned.”Daniel's jaw tightened.“You were taken from me.”“You allowed it.”Daniel said nothing.Ava looked between them.“Enough.”Everyone turned toward her.She stepped forward, still holding the baby.“I want answers.”Daniel studied her.“You have spent your entire life asking the wrong questions.”“Then gi

  • The Bride in the Blackwood File    Chapter 47: The Mother Who Was Supposed to Be Dead

    “Ava, put my daughter down.”Ava froze.The voice had come from somewhere behind the darkness.Her mother's voice.The same voice she had heard on the recording.The same voice she had spent years trying to remember.Ava's arms tightened around the baby.“Mom?”No answer.Damien immediately moved in front of Ava.“Stay behind me.”The doctor stepped backward.His face had lost all its color.“She wasn't supposed to be here.”Ethan stared into the darkness.“Who?”Then footsteps echoed through the corridor.Slow.Deliberate.A woman emerged from the shadows.Ava's breath disappeared.She knew that face.She had seen it in photographs.Dreamed about it.Cried over it.Her mother.Alive.Ava couldn't speak.The woman stopped several feet away.Tears streamed down her cheeks.“Ava.”The sound of her name broke the silence.Ava shook her head.“No.”Her mother took another step.“My baby.”“Don't.”Ava's voice cracked.“You died.”“I know what they told you.”“You died eighteen years ago.”

  • The Bride in the Blackwood File    Chapter 46: The Heir They Never Expected

    The baby cried louder.Ava held her tightly against her chest, instinctively protecting her from the darkness.“Turn the lights back on!” Lucas shouted.He rushed toward the control panel.Nothing happened.The speaker crackled again.Adrian laughed softly.“You should have listened when I warned you.”Ava looked around the dark room.“Adrian!”“I'm right here.”His voice came from the speaker.“You just can't see me.”Damien stepped toward the ceiling.“Where are you?”“You still don't understand, Damien.”Adrian's voice became colder.“This was never about the Blackwood inheritance.”Ava's heart pounded.“Then what do you want?”“You.”Silence.Ava tightened her arms around the baby.“Why?”“Because you're the only person who can unlock what your grandfather left behind.”Damien stepped closer to Ava.“She's already accessed the vault.”“No,” Adrian replied.“She accessed the first layer.”Ava frowned.“What first layer?”Adrian laughed.“The Blackwood estate contains three inherita
