Clara’s POV

Evelyn Cross had been dead for years, but her name had appeared in nearly every important part of the investigation.

She had received the duplicate correspondence. She had kept Edwin's personal papers. She had even requested permission to release the sealed documents before someone denied her request.

Now an anonymous sender was claiming that she had received the duplicate on October 19.

I wasn't sure what to believe anymore.

Daniel arrived at the study carrying a copy of the messag

  • The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became    Chapter 84: The Name Beneath the Seal

    Clara’s POVI kept the photograph open on my phone long after Daniel ended the call.The faint letters beneath the seal bothered me.R. MON...It could be my grandfather's name. But after everything we'd uncovered, I wasn't willing to accept another convenient explanation.Someone had already used his name to enter the executive office. Someone had also produced an authorization bearing what appeared to be his signature.I wasn't going to let another set of initials decide where the investigation would go.The next morning, Daniel arrived with our lawyer and a message from Peter Lawson.“He found something,” Daniel said.I immediately stood.“What is it?”“Evelyn's private inventory. He says it was stored separately from the other estate papers.”“Does it mention the duplicate?”“He hasn't confirmed that yet. He's bringing it to our meeting.”I grabbed my bag.“Then let's go.”Peter Lawson was waiting in his office when we arrived.He was an older man with a careful way of speaking. H

I'll contact him.”I looked at the old photogr

  • The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became    Chapter 82: What Edwin Took Out of the Office

    Clara’s POVBy morning, I had one question written across the top of my notebook.What did Edwin Cross take out of the office on October 18?The appointment book confirmed that he had met Victor Langford that afternoon. Martin had also confirmed escorting Edwin into the private office, but he couldn't say what happened behind the closed door.And the leather case remained unexplained.I was getting tired of finding records that stopped just before the answers.Daniel arrived with our lawyer shortly after nine.“We've received something from Harold Bennett,” he said.I looked up. “The former administrator?”He nodded and placed a sealed envelope on the table.“He found an old office inventory in his personal files. He kept it because he believed some entries had been altered.”Our lawyer opened the envelope and removed two pages.The first was a list of documents stored in the executive office. The second was a handwritten note dated October 18.I read the note.One sealed corresponden

    Clara’s POVI couldn't stop looking at the final sentence.The child must be returned to her family before the original letter reaches the wrong hands.For eighteen years, I had been told that my disappearance was a tragedy. A terrible accident. A mistake that had separated a little girl from the people who loved her.But the documents in front of me suggested that someone had known where I was supposed to be.Someone had even written instructions about bringing me back.So why hadn't they?“Daniel, we need to know who wrote that letter.”“I agree. Eleanor is checking whether her father's assistant kept the envelope.”“And the handwriting?”“Our lawyer will compare it with the other documents.”I sat down and pressed my fingers against my forehead.“If someone ordered Victor to stop the arrangement on October 15, then the decision to keep me away might have happened before the correspondence was removed.”“Possibly,” Daniel said. “But don't connect everything yet. We still don't know

    Clara’s POVI zoomed in on the photograph until the signature became blurry.Rafael Montecillo.My grandfather's name was written at the bottom of the document, followed by a short statement:Authorization granted October 14.I stared at it, trying to understand what I was looking at.“Daniel, look at this.”He came around the desk and examined my phone.“Where did this come from?”“Another message from the unknown number.”“Did they send anything else?”“No. Just the document.”He studied the signature.“It looks like your grandfather's handwriting.”“Looks like it isn't enough.”“Exactly.”I forwarded the image to our lawyer and asked him to arrange an examination. I didn't want another document being treated as proof simply because it carried a familiar name.Daniel pulled a chair closer.“October 14,” he said. “That's the same date written on Victor's photograph.”“And the date of the proposed agreement.”“Which means the authorization may be connected to it.”I looked at the scre

  • The Wife He Lost The Heiress I Became    Chapter 79: The Hand Behind the Photograph

    Clara’s POVI didn't sleep well.The initials on the back of the photograph kept drawing my attention. M.A.Margaret Ashford.It was possible she had been standing beside me when the picture was taken. It was also possible someone had written those initials years later to make me believe she was involved.I refused to accuse her based on two letters.By breakfast, Daniel had already arranged for the photograph to be examined by an independent document specialist. He arrived at the estate shortly after ten, carrying a folder and a small envelope.“Before you ask, I haven't contacted Margaret,” he said.“Good.”He placed the folder on the table.“The specialist can examine the paper, ink, and cropping marks. But there's something else.”He took out a printed photograph.It was a digital enlargement of the image's lower corner.“Look here.”I leaned closer. Beneath the shadow near the bench was a small portion of a shoe. It was partly hidden by the crop, but the shape was clear enough to
