The Second Wife's Revenge Chapter 72: Sienna's Confession
Sienna called the next morning. Voice strange. Tight."Can I come over? I need to talk to you. Alone.""Is everything okay?""I don't know. Can I just come?""Of course."She arrived thirty minutes later. Sofia with Dante's mother. Just Sienna. Looking pale. Shaking.Marcus saw her face and disappeared into the bedroom. Giving us privacy.We sat on the couch. Sienna's hands trembling in her lap."What's wrong?" I asked."I'm pregnant."The words hung there. Heavy. Complicated."Oh.""I found out yesterday. Took three tests. All positive. About six weeks.""Does Dante know?""Not yet. You're the first person I've told." She looked at me. Eyes wet. "I don't know how I feel. Happy? Terrified? Guilty?""Guilty?""Because of Daniel. This is Dante's baby. Not Daniel's. And I'm happy about it. Which feels like I'm betraying Daniel's memory. Like I'm replacing him."I took her hand. "You're not replacing anyone. You're living.""But Daniel should be here. This should be his baby. Sofia's sibl
The Second Wife's Revenge Chapter 71: Marcus's Proposal
Two days after meeting Catherine, I was still broken.Couldn't sleep. Couldn't eat. Kept seeing my mother's suicide note. Kept hearing Catherine's voice.*She gave up looking for you.*Marcus had been patient. Gave me space. Didn't push. But I could see the worry in his eyes.Third night, he found me on the couch at midnight. Staring at nothing."We need to talk."My stomach dropped. Those four words. Never good."Okay."He sat beside me. Took my hand. "I've been thinking about Catherine's threat. About what she said. About us."Here it came. He was leaving. Protecting himself. Smart move."I understand," I said. "You should distance yourself. It's safer.""What? No. That's not what I'm saying.""Then what?"Marcus took a breath. "I want to marry you."The world tilted. "What?""I want to spend my life with you. Build a future. Face whatever comes together. But only if you want that too. No pressure. No timeline. Just eventually?"I pulled my hand away. "You're asking me to marry you?
The Second Wife's Revenge Chapter 70: The Wolf's Den
The location came through at one PM. Not a restaurant. Not a law office.The Plaza Hotel. Fifth Avenue. Presidential suite."She's being theatrical," Santos said through my earpiece. "Showing off. Proving she's untouchable."I arrived with Dante and two FBI agents. They swept the hallway. Checked for weapons. Found nothing."We'll be right outside," Dante said. "Any trouble, we come in."I nodded. Knocked on the suite door.A man answered. Security. Professional. Cold. Searched me for weapons. Recording devices. Found the wire immediately."Ms. Whitmore said no recording."I pulled it off. Handed it over. "Tell Catherine I'm here."He disappeared. Returned moments later. "She'll see you now."The suite was massive. Floor to ceiling windows. Manhattan skyline spreading below. Expensive furniture. Art on the walls.Catherine Cross sat by the window. Afternoon light making her look almost angelic.She wore cream. Pearls. Hair perfectly styled. Looked like she was hosting a charity lunche
The Second Wife's Revenge Chapter 69: The Offer
Catherine's lawyer arrived at the loft the next morning. Uninvited. Unannounced.Dante tried to stop him at the door. "You can't just show up here."The lawyer handed him a card. "James Morrison. Morrison and Associates. I represent Catherine Whitmore. She asked me to deliver a message to Ms. Winters personally."I came to the door. Marcus beside me. "What message?"Morrison was sixties. Silver hair. Expensive suit. The kind of lawyer who charged a thousand dollars an hour."May I come in? This conversation requires privacy.""Anything you say to me can be said in front of them."Morrison glanced at Dante. At Marcus. "Very well. My client wishes to meet with you. Privately. Just the two of you. No lawyers. No law enforcement. No recording devices.""Why would I agree to that?""Because she has information you want. About your mother. About your kidnapping. About what really happened twenty-two years ago."My chest tightened. "I know what happened. Victor kidnapped me. My mother died s

Santos arrived at the loft the next morning with a thick file."We know who Catherine Cross is now. Her current identity. What she's been doing all these years."He spread photos across the table. Woman in her late fifties. Elegant. Perfectly styled gray hair. Expensive clothes. Warm smile.She looked like someone's grandmother. Not a killer."Catherine Cross is currently living as Catherine Whitmore. Philanthropist. Socialite. Board member of seven charities. Donor to hospitals, museums, children's organizations.""She hides behind charity work?""Not just hides. Uses it. The charities are fronts. Money laundering operations. Donations come in, get cleaned, flow to Covenant operations. It's brilliant. No one questions a charity. Especially one run by someone so respectable."He showed me more photos. Catherine at galas. Shaking hands with politicians. Receiving humanitarian awards."She's fifty-eight. Never married. No children. Lives in a penthouse on Fifth Avenue. Estimated net wor

The name on the document made my hands shake.Catherine Chen.I stared at it. Blinked. Read it again."Catherine Chen received payment from Meridian Holdings?" My voice came out wrong. Too high. Too tight.Dr. Chen nodded. "Fifty thousand dollars. Three months after your kidnapping. Wired to an offshore account in her name.""Mrs. Chen died six months ago. Her daughter donated five million to the foundation in her memory. This has to be a mistake.""That's what I thought too," Dr. Chen said. "So I investigated further. Catherine Chen who received this payment wasn't the same Catherine Chen who died recently.""Then who was she?"Dr. Chen pulled up more documents. Birth certificates. Death certificates. Identity records."The Catherine Chen connected to Meridian Holdings was born in 1965. Died in 2018. Never married. No children. She worked as a corporate accountant for various shell companies.""So a different person with the same name?""Not exactly." Dr. Chen's expression darkened.
