Aria remained standing long after Richard left.

The door had already closed, yet the room still felt unsettled, as if his presence lingered in the air. His final words refused to fade.

Not everything that tried to remove you failed.

Her brows tightened.

It could have been a warning. Or something worse disguised as one. Either way, it left a quiet unease she couldn’t immediately shake off.

She placed both hands on the edge of her desk, grounding herself. But her mind wasn’t on Richard anymore.

  • The Wife They Sent Away   The Position No Longer Holds

    Before the news broke fully and before Adrian reached Aria’s office, Alessia was already on her way to the Wolfe Estate.The call had been brief. No explanation. Only one instruction: come alone.That detail stayed with her more than anything else. It wasn’t an invitation. It was an order.Now, as the car passed through the Wolfe gates, Alessia felt her chest tighten. The estate rose ahead, quiet and imposing, as if it had been waiting for her arrival.The car stopped at the entrance. The driver stepped out and opened the door.“Ma’am.”Alessia hesitated only a second before stepping out. The air felt colder here, heavier, like it carried judgment instead of weather.Inside, staff were already waiting.“This way, Mrs. Wolfe,” one of them said politely.She followed without speaking.Her heels echoed softly through the long corridor. The estate was too quiet for its size. Even sound felt controlled here, like it wasn’t allowed to linger too long.They led her to Augustus Wolfe’s study.

  • The Wife They Sent Away   The Damage Is Already Done

    The first alert was only the beginning. Within minutes, more headlines followed, each one faster and sharper than the last.Wolfe heir linked to secret child rumors.Questions rise over Adrian Wolfe’s marriage amid hidden heir claims.Another alert followed almost immediately.Who is the woman behind the growing Wolfe scandal?The reports were still vague. No names. No confirmations. Just enough information to make people curious.And curiosity spread quickly. It didn’t take long for people to connect the dots.The billionaire heir in question was Adrian Wolfe. And once his name surfaced, the next questions came just as fast.What about his wife?Does Alessia know?Who is the mother?How old is the child?The facts were incomplete, but that hardly mattered now. Speculation was already moving faster than truth.Adrian only looked at the headlines for a second before his entire expression changed. All traces of the earlier conversation disappeared.Without a word, he stepped out of Aria

Either way, it left a quiet unease she couldn’t immediately shake off.She placed both hands on the edge of her desk, grounding herself. But her mind wasn’t on Richard anymore.It had drifted back to the question he never answered.Am I really your daughter?The silence he gave in return now felt heavier than anything he had actually said.She had never seriously questioned it before. She and Alessia were supposed to be twins. The truth, on paper, should have been simple.And yet, something had always been slightly off.Aria lowered herself into the chair, gaze unfocused.The Vales had abandoned her without hesitation, leaving her to be raised by a caretaker as if she w

    Meanwhile, across the city at Aurelia Nexus Holdings, Aria was still going through a proposal when someone knocked on her office door.“Come in,” she said without looking up.The door opened, and Elvira stepped inside. “There’s a visitor asking to see you, ma’am.”Aria kept reading. “Did they have an appointment?”“No.”That made her pause. She looked up, noticing the hesitation in Elvira’s expression.Elvira hesitated. “He said he’s your father.”Aria went still. For a moment, her thoughts went blank. There was only one possibility.Richard Vale.Before she could respond, a voice came from outside the door.“You think partnering with big companies gives you the right to keep me waiting?”Aria’s head snapped toward the door just as Richard stepped in.He didn’t slow down. Didn’t ask permi

  • The Wife They Sent Away   Summoned by Augustus Wolfe

    Adrian's phone kept ringing between them, the sharp sound cutting through the silence.Neither of them moved at first.Then Adrian reached for the phone and answered, his expression unreadable.“Yes, Grandfather.”Alessia stood still, her body tense. She couldn’t hear Augustus from where she stood, only Adrian’s side of the conversation.Adrian’s eyes lifted briefly to hers. “She’s here,” he said calmly.A cold feeling settled in Alessia’s stomach.There was a pause while Adrian listened. Then he gave a small nod. “Understood.”He ended the call and placed the phone back on the desk. For a moment, he said nothing.Alessia hated the silence more than anything.“Well?” she asked, sharper than intended.Adrian looked at her. “My grandfather wants to see you.”Her chest tightened. “Us?”Adrian shook his head. “You.”The single word landed heavily.Alessia stared at him. “What?”“He asked for you to come alone.”Her composure slipped for a brief second. That was worse.If Augustus had call

  • The Wife They Sent Away   The Cost of Deception

    That night, Adrian never came home.Alessia stayed awake far longer than she should have, sitting alone in the dim light of her bedroom. With every passing hour, the quiet felt heavier.She waited, though not because this was unusual. Adrian rarely spent nights at the mansion, and their marriage had never been built on shared routines or domestic expectations. They had understood that years ago without ever discussing it.But tonight felt different.Not after what her mother had told her. Not after Elara. Not after learning there was a child.By midnight, Alessia had already called Adrian several times. None were answered. Eventually, every call went straight to voicemail.Her jaw tightened. He was avoiding her.And somehow, that irritated her more than if he had simply answered.By morning, her patience was gone.If Adrian refused to come home, then she would go to him.The lobby of Wolfe Group was already busy when Alessia arrived.Employees moved through the marble halls with pract
