The rain poured heavily against the windows of the penthouse.

She stood beside the floor-to-ceiling glass, staring at the city lights below. Everything looked beautiful from that height, yet her heart felt strangely heavy.

After everything that had happened, she still couldn't understand why he had suddenly become distant.

For the past three days, the CEO who had once followed her everywhere had barely spoken to her.

He left early.

He came home late.

And whenever she asked what was wrong, he si

  • The CEO's Unexpected Wife   Chapter 88 — The House Beneath the Vineyard

    The rain continued to pour as Adrian drove through the dark countryside.Elena sat beside him, staring through the windshield. Every few seconds, lightning illuminated the road ahead, revealing nothing but trees, fields, and endless darkness.Victor sat in the back seat, holding the flash drive tightly.No one spoke.The silence was heavier than the storm.Finally, Elena broke it.“Victor…”“Yes?”“How could my father's house still exist?”Victor looked out the window.“Because your father never lived in the house people knew about.”Elena frowned.“What does that mean?”“After the company scandal began, your father realized someone was watching him. He built another property beneath the vineyard. Only a handful of people knew about it.”Elena's heart pounded.“Why didn't he ever tell me?”“Because he wanted to protect you.”She looked down.Her father had always been distant during the last years of his life. She remembered the locked study, the secret phone calls, and the way he wou

  • The CEO's Unexpected Wife   Chapter 87 — The Truth Behind the Door

    The rain had been falling for nearly an hour when Elena stepped out of the elevator.She hugged her coat around herself and glanced toward the darkened hallway of the penthouse.Something felt wrong.The lights were on, but Adrian's car had not been in the driveway when she arrived. He had also ignored every call and message she had sent since dinner.“Elena.”She froze.The voice came from behind her.She slowly turned.Adrian stood several feet away, his black suit damp from the rain. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes were filled with something she had never seen before—fear.Not anger.Not coldness.Fear.“Adrian?” Elena whispered. “Where have you been?”He didn't answer immediately.Instead, he walked toward her and stopped directly in front of her.“You shouldn't have come here tonight.”Her heart tightened.“What do you mean?”Adrian looked toward the penthouse door.“There is someone inside.”Elena's eyes widened.“Who?”Before he could answer, a loud crash came from

  • The CEO's Unexpected Wife   Chapter 86: The Woman Named Elena

    The name stayed in Mia's mind throughout the entire drive home.Elena.She kept staring at the silver pendant resting in her palm.Her mother's pendant.At least, she had always believed it belonged to her mother.But Daniel had recognized it from his father's diary, and now everything she thought she knew about her family seemed uncertain.“Daniel,” Mia finally said, breaking the silence.“Yes?”“Where is your father's diary?”Daniel's hands tightened around the steering wheel.“I don't know.”Mia turned toward him.“You don't know?”“My father kept it in a locked drawer in his private study. After he died, I searched for it. I found several pages, but the diary itself was gone.”“Someone took it.”“Probably.”“Then someone knew what was inside.”Daniel nodded.“And that person may know where Elena is.”Mia looked out the window.“Do you think she's still alive?”“I don't know.”The answer frightened her more than anything else.When they arrived at the penthouse, Daniel immediately

    The rain had not stopped since midnight.Mia stood beside the floor-to-ceiling window of the penthouse, watching the city lights blur beneath the curtain of rain. She had barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she heard Daniel's voice from the night before.“There are things about your family that you don't know.”She had wanted to demand answers immediately.But Daniel had disappeared before he could explain.Now, at six in the morning, Mia was still holding the photograph she had found inside the old wooden box.It showed her mother standing beside a young man.A man who looked exactly like Daniel's father.Mia's fingers tightened around the photograph.“What were you hiding from me, Mom?”A knock came from behind her.She turned.Daniel stood at the entrance, his black suit slightly damp from the rain. His expression was unusually serious.“You're awake,” he said.“I couldn't sleep.”His eyes fell on the photograph in her hand.For a moment, his face went pale.“Where did yo

    Elena couldn't move.She stared at Adrian, waiting for him to explain what she had just heard.“My mother-in-law is alive?”Adrian remained silent.“Adrian.”He finally looked at her.“I don't understand it either.”“You said your mother died twenty years ago.”“That is what I was told.”“By whom?”“My grandfather.”Elena's expression hardened.“Your grandfather lied to you.”Adrian looked toward the window.“Apparently.”The room became painfully quiet.Outside, the rain had stopped, leaving only the sound of water dripping from the trees.Elena slowly sat down.Everything she believed about her life was collapsing.Her mother's disappearance.Her father's secrets.The marriage agreement.Adrian's forgotten memories.And now a woman who was supposedly dead had called them personally.“I need answers,” Elena whispered.“So do I.”Adrian sat beside her.For the first time since they had met, he looked less like the powerful CEO everyone feared and more like a confused man searching for

  • The CEO's Unexpected Wife   Chapter 83: The Betrayal

    Darkness swallowed the mansion.Elena could hear nothing except her own breathing and Adrian's hurried footsteps.“Stay close to me,” Adrian whispered.He tightened his grip around her hand.“Adrian, what is happening?”“We don't know how many people are inside.”A loud crash came from downstairs.Elena flinched.“Who was that man shouting?”“I don't know.”“You're lying.”Adrian stopped.Even in the darkness, she could feel his eyes on her.“I promise you, Elena, I'm not lying this time.”Before she could respond, another sound came from the hallway.Footsteps.Slow.Careful.Someone was coming toward them.Adrian pulled Elena behind him.“Don't move.”A shadow appeared at the end of the corridor.Elena held her breath.The figure approached.Then suddenly, a flashlight turned on.Elena gasped.It was Adrian's assistant, Marcus.“Sir!”Adrian lowered his guard.“Marcus? What happened?”“Someone broke into the house through the east entrance. Security is trying to stop them.”“Where's
