The Bride in the Blackwood File Chapter 54: You Were Never Supposed to Survive
"You were never supposed to survive."Elena's words hung in the air.Chloe stood frozen beside the desk, her face drained of color. Ava stared at her mother, struggling to reconcile the woman before her with the mother she had spent years believing was dead."Mom?" Ava whispered.Elena finally turned toward her.For a moment, the hardness in her eyes disappeared. She looked at Ava with a tenderness that made Ava's chest ache."My darling."Ava rushed forward, nearly stumbling as she threw her arms around her mother. She had imagined this moment countless times, but nothing had prepared her for the reality of feeling Elena's arms around her again."You were alive," Ava sobbed. "You were alive all this time, and you let me believe you were dead."Elena closed her eyes."I'm sorry.""Sorry?" Ava pulled away, tears streaming down her face. "Do you know what I went through? I grew
The Bride in the Blackwood File Chapter 53: The Daughter Who Was Stolen
Ava stared at the tiny photograph inside the pendant.It was a picture of her as a newborn, wrapped in a white blanket with a silver bracelet around her wrist. She recognized the crescent-shaped birthmark near her left shoulder, the same mark she had carried her entire life.But there was something else.Behind the baby in the photograph stood a woman whose face had been scratched out.Ava's fingers trembled."Who put this inside the pendant?" she whispered.Nobody answered.Then she looked at Chloe."Tell me the truth. Who are you?"Chloe's eyes filled with tears. "Ava, please.""Don't call me that!" Ava snapped. "My mother left a message warning me not to trust the daughter who calls me sister. Now we have a photograph of me as a newborn inside this baby's pendant. Three girls were born on the same night, and your name is connected to a missing medical record. Tell me what you know!
The Bride in the Blackwood File Chapter 51: The Secret Inside Her
Margaret's hand went limp.For several seconds, Ava couldn't move. She stared at the woman who had spent years hiding the truth, who had manipulated lives and guarded secrets, and who had finally died trying to reveal something that could destroy them all."Margaret?" Chloe whispered.She dropped to her knees beside her mother, shaking her shoulder desperately."Mom, wake up! You can't leave me like this. Not now!"There was no response.Ava tightened her hold on the baby girl. The child had stopped crying and was staring up at her with wide, innocent eyes, completely unaware of the blood surrounding her.Your daughter.Margaret's final words kept repeating in Ava's mind.But what had she meant?The baby was supposed to be Margaret's daughter. Yet the medical records connected the child to Ava's bloodline, and Margaret had insisted that the truth was hidden somewhere Ava's mother had placed it.Inside her.Ava swallowed hard."Damien," she whispered, "what if Margaret wasn't talking a
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
