last update วันที่เผยแพร่: 2026-10-19 19:30:28

The next morning, Idris met Graham and Dominic in Graham’s office at Delacroix Holdings.

He recounted his meeting with Mrs. Brooks, including how Isla had come into Fabian’s care and her admission that she had sent the anonymous messages directing Isla to Warehouse Seventeen.

“That explains who contacted Isla before the accident,” Graham said. “But we still don’t know who tampered with her car.”

“Mrs. Brooks knew nothing about that,” Idris replied. “She believed Isla had died and came forward o

  • The Woman He Buried   A Celebration Before the Fall

    Hazel had been awake since early morning, but by late afternoon, she was still dissatisfied.She sat before her dressing table as the makeup artist worked on her face and the hairstylist arranged her curls. Nearby, a maid prepared her gown and accessories.Everything had to be perfect.She had spent weeks overseeing every detail of tonight’s celebration, from the guest list to the ballroom flowers. Nothing could go wrong.“Where is my dress?” Hazel demanded, glancing at the clock. “I asked for it half an hour ago.”A maid hurried in with a garment bag. “I’m sorry, Miss Delacroix. It was being steamed, as you requested.”“Then why wasn’t it brought up sooner?”The maid lowered her eyes. “I’m sorry, miss.”Once the gown was uncovered, Hazel inspected it before turning to the mirror. “Where are my shoes? These aren’t the pair I selected.”“I thought these would match better.”“You thought?” Hazel turned sharply. “I gave you the exact pair days ago. Go and get them.”The maid hurried away

  • The Woman He Buried   Nothing Was Washed Away

    By the time Spook pulled into the lakeside estate, the night had grown quiet. Warm lights glowed through the windows of the place that had sheltered Isla during her recovery after the accident.Elias was waiting near the entrance. His face brightened when she stepped out of the car. “Isla. It’s good to have you back.”“Thank you, Elias.”Mara appeared behind him and embraced her. “You look well. How was Geneva? Did you enjoy living there?”“I did. It took some time to adjust, but I found my footing. Work kept me busy, and I met some good people.”“Then you can tell us more after you’ve rested,” Mara said with a smile. “You’ve had a long journey.”Their familiar warmth eased some of the tension Isla had carried since arriving. For a moment, she could almost forget the complicated reason she had returned.Dominic was waiting in the living room. He rose to greet her, then asked how she was feeling.“Tired, mostly.”“Understandable. You can settle in tonight. We don't have to discuss anyt

  • The Woman He Buried   Home After Years Away

    The lights of Astera shimmered beneath the aircraft as it began its descent.Isla sat by the window, watching the city emerge from the darkness. Beyond the familiar skyline lay the place where she had grown up, the country she had once called home, and the past she was finally ready to face.She had never imagined returning under these circumstances. She had left Astera as Isla Marquez, unaware of her true origins. Now she was coming back as Aniela Delacroix, the missing heiress everyone believed was dead.Yet the city below looked much as she remembered it.She pulled her cap lower over her forehead. Dressed in a plain shirt, jeans, and comfortable shoes, with ordinary glasses framing her face, she hoped to blend in among the arriving passengers. The disguise would make her less noticeable, but it wouldn't fool anyone who knew her well. She would have to remain cautious.In Astera, she was still a dead woman. Until her identity was formally revealed, no one could know she had returne

  • The Woman He Buried   A Goodbye in Geneva

    Word had spread through the Delacroix Holdings office that Isla would be taking an extended leave to return to Astera. Most assumed she had personal matters to attend to, unaware of the real reason for her departure.By late morning, Isla had organized her files and completed the handover notes. Austin stopped by her desk to review them.“Everything looks good,” he said. “You've covered all the outstanding work.”“Thank you. And thank you for everything you've taught me.”“You did the work, Isla. I only pointed you in the right direction.”After Austin finished reviewing the notes, Max, her supervisor, approached her desk.“Finished with the boss?” he asked with a smile. “Good. Could you go over the remaining details with me in my office?”Isla gathered the folder and followed him. Austin watched them leave. He had already informed Max of Isla's true identity, but they had agreed to keep it confidential until the arrangements in Astera were complete. For now, the rest of the office wo

  • The Woman He Buried   The Man Behind the Questions

    Fabian remained in his study after ending the call with Ruth.Voices in the hallway caught his attention. Sasha and Agatha were discussing Hazel’s upcoming birthday celebration.“She seems determined to make it an event everyone remembers,” Agatha said.“She wants everyone to see her as the rightful heiress,” Sasha replied. “Especially those who matter.”Fabian stepped into the hallway. Agatha turned toward him.“We were just discussing Hazel’s birthday. She’s going to great lengths to impress her guests.”“So I hear,” he replied with a brief nod.He said nothing more and returned to his study, having stepped out only to ensure the hallway was clear before making another call.Once inside, he closed the door and contacted his assistant, Gary.“I need you to identify a man who recently visited Maribel Elsdon,” Fabian said. “He asked about Hazel’s childhood and family background. Find out who he is and, if possible, who sent him.”“Do we have a description?”“Maribel may have one. She a

  • The Woman He Buried   The Secret Must Hold

    Ruth waited until the house was quiet before calling Fabian.He answered after the second ring. “What is it?”“A man came to Maribel’s house asking questions about Hazel.”“Who is he?”“I don’t know. He refused to say who sent him. Maribel has his card, but she hasn’t been able to identify who he works for.”“What did she tell him?”“She claims she told him nothing. But Magno overheard their conversation, and now he thinks he can make money from the man.”Fabian’s voice turned cold. “Of course he does. That man never considers the consequences.”“I’m afraid he’ll contact the man himself. He’s already threatened to expose Hazel unless we give him more money.”“Then make sure he doesn’t.”Ruth tightened her grip on the phone as Fabian’s tone hardened.
