The Substitute Bride Of The Blackwood Chapter 151: The Weight of Proof
POV: CharlotteI watched Ethan turn and walk back toward the front doors, the staff opening them smoothly for him. I waited until the heavy doors clicked shut, locking him outside, before I let out the breath I had been holding in my lungs. My hands were trembling slightly as I clutched the portfolio he had left behind. He had been standing right here in our house, smiling in my face, while secretly administering a slow-acting poison that was killing my husband.I turned and walked away from the entrance, bypassing the stairs and heading straight down the corridor toward Damien’s private study.Once inside the doors, I set Ethan’s portfolio down on the edge of the desk. I pulled out the notebook where I had meticulously mapped out my thoughts, confirming what my instincts already knew to be absolute fact. I no longer needed to question who had access or hunt for possibilities. The pieces were already locked in place.I picked up my notes
The Substitute Bride Of The Blackwood Chapter 150: The List
POV: CharlotteI did not find Dr. Keller in his office. I found him standing outside Damien’s suite in the sterile white hallway, his clipboard pressed against his chest like a shield. When he saw me walking toward him with my face set and my eyes dry, he stepped forward to block the door.“Mrs. Blackwood,” he said softly, his voice low and tired. “You should be inside resting.”“I am done resting,” I told him, every word measured and cold. “He was talking about a replacement wedding, Keller. He was talking about dying as if it is a schedule he needs to manage. I want to know what is actually happening in those labs.”Keller looked down at the floor for a long moment before he met my eyes. The professional mask he usually wore slipped, revealing a quiet, deeply unsettled man.“I cannot explain it,” Keller admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “His bloodwork is irregular. Some markers change by the hour while others s
The Substitute Bride Of The Blackwood Chapter 149: Worse Again
POV: Charlotte For the first time since the morning of my wedding, I had finally allowed myself to believe we were safe. Dr. Adrian Keller had stood in the bright hallway just four days ago, looking down at his medical tablet and actually smiling. He had told us Damien was getting better. He suggested that the heavy stress of the company fight had likely been making his strange illness worse. With Sebastian beaten at the board meeting and my new shares securing the empire, Damien was finally allowed to rest. And he had been improving. It was not just something I saw on a chart. It was real. I saw it in the way color had slowly come back to his face over the past few weeks. I saw it in the way he walked down the main stairs at Blackwood Mansion without holding onto the rail for support. I saw it in the evenings when we sat together in our bedroom, talking about the future and our baby, without him needing to close his eyes from deep exh
The Substitute Bride Of The Blackwood Chapter 148: What Ethan Tells Himself
POV: EthanI did not think of myself as a bad man.Bad men did things out of pure hate. They acted out of wild, messy greed that usually ended up destroying their own lives. I was never wild or messy. I was the exact opposite of that. I was the quiet, hard-working person who kept the whole Blackwood business from falling apart. The company was too big, and I carried it. Now, I was simply sitting in this heavy leather chair, waiting to get the money and power that I truly deserved.Looking up from the business paper resting on my knees, I watched Damien Blackwood across the heavy wooden desk. His bright blue eyes read a long list of numbers with that cold, fast skill everyone always praised him for. The room was completely quiet. We had been working at this for hours. I had spent years of my life working very closely with Damien. I did the hardest work while he stood at the very top and looked like a king that nobody could touch.
The Substitute Bride Of The Blackwood Chapter 147: Sebastian Regroups
POV: SebastianThe parking garage under my apartment building smelled like old exhaust and damp concrete.It was dark, cold, and totally empty. Just the way I liked it.I sat inside my car with the engine turned off, staring through the steering wheel at the glowing screen of my phone. The phone light cast a harsh blue glow across my face, showing the dark circles under my eyes and the tight, angry lines around my mouth. My knuckles were still a little bruised from hitting a brick wall in an alley an hour ago. I had to let out the rage I could not show anyone else, the burning fury of a man who had watched his entire life's work vanish into thin air.I had lost.The word tasted bitter and disgusting. I had spent three years setting up my pieces, buying off directors, leaking memos, whispering in the right ears, and waiting for the exact right moment to take over the empire. And in less than twenty minutes, a girl with a gold locket and a
The Substitute Bride Of The Blackwood Chapter 146: A Quiet Celebration
POV: CharlotteThe days following the boardroom showdown felt like watching a storm clear out in fast motion.By Tuesday morning, the frantic panic that had gripped the Blackwood Tower for months was completely gone. The financial markets opened, and our legal team filed the preliminary trust integration documents without a single hiccup. Whitfield, sensing which way the wind was blowing with terrifying speed, released a public statement reaffirming the board’s absolute confidence in Damien’s continued leadership and highlighting the exciting future of the company’s bloodline. Chen and Holloway followed suit before noon, ensuring their names were at the front of the line to pledge loyalty to the new status quo.Sebastian’s name was conspicuously absent from every memo, every press release, and every corner of the building. It was as if he had never existed at all. The men who had spent weeks drinking his scotch and nodding along with his coup p
