All Chapters of I Married His Enemy: Return Of The Forgotten Princess : Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

It was almost dawn when Nikolai's car glided along the near-empty streets. His fingers were tight around the steering wheel, the tendons in his hands standing out sharply. Every word his mother and father had said minutes ago replayed inside his mind like a broken record. Eliana Montgomery. The girl who had once destroyed the fragile balance between three families. Adrian Montgomery. The man now standing before him, his wife’s manager, her ally, his potential enemy. It didn't make sense. Nothing did. But his instincts whispered something darker. Adrian isn't after your company, Nick. He's after your blood. The thought sent a slow chill, crawling down his spine. He drove faster, wanting to be with his wife and daughter. The city lights reflected off his windshield, flickering across his face, revealing the tension etched into his expression. His jaw flexed, and his throat worked as he swallowed the bile of anger, confusion, and fear for his family. Cassie.

Cassie drove in silence to work. Nikolai's words from earlier that morning replayed in her mind - the story of the Montgomerys, the betrayal, the pain buried under decades of silence. Now, everything made sense. Adrian's charm, his unpredictability, and the way his gaze sometimes lingered too long on Nikolai or Emily. It wasn't admiration - it was resentment wrapped in control. Cassie's fingers tightened around her steering wheel. She had promised Nikolai she'd be careful. And she would. But she also knew that the truth had to be uncovered - no matter the risk. The Studios buzzed with activity by the time Cassie arrived as usual. People whispered when they saw her. Of course, they would. The incident at the party last night was all over the news anyway. Cassie adjusted her sunglasses and stepped out of the elevator. When the doors opened, all the people on the 5th floor looked up. "Mrs. Rosewood!" A few greeted warmly, smiling. Now, almost everyone knows her identity, than

Cassie squeezed his hand. “I know. It’s hard to take in, but it explains a lot, doesn’t it?” He looked at her, bewildered. “You mean his hatred?” “Yes.” Cassie’s voice was logical as always. “Think about it. If Eliana hid his true paternity from him, she might have twisted the story. Maybe she made him believe that your family abandoned them or that your father ruined her life intentionally, or perhaps your father didn't want him.” Nikolai leaned back, rubbing his temples. “But my father, he never knew. He couldn’t have. If he knew he had a son, he wouldn’t have just ignored him. He’s strict, but he’s never been cruel." He let out a heavy sigh and turned to her, his gaze softening. “I just don’t understand how this happened. How could someone keep this secret from my father? Adrian’s mother must’ve… twisted the truth.” “I believe you,” Cassie said softly. “Your father seems like the kind of man who values family above everything. Which means... Eliana kept it from him deliberately

The next morning soon came... Nikolai was already awake, sipping his coffee in the living room, his tablet on his lap as he reviewed the morning reports. But his eyes weren’t really on the screen. They were on the woman who had just stepped out of their bedroom. Cassie. She walked gracefully into the room in a way that almost took away his breath. Her long, wavy hair fell past her shoulders in perfect curls. The tailored white suit she wore hugged her frame elegantly, exuding power, grace, and quiet vengeance all at once. She looked like she had been born to lead an empire. Nikolai couldn’t help but smile as he stood, sliding his hands into his pockets and watching her with pride. “You look breathtaking,” he said softly. Cassie smiled, adjusting the lapel of her blazer in a mirror in the living room. “Do I look like someone Raymond would regret crossing?” Nikolai smirked. “You look like the woman who’s about to make him beg for mercy.” Cassie turned, her eyes meetin

The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and Cassie exhaled deeply for what felt like the first time in hours. Her palms were still slightly damp, the adrenaline from the boardroom lingering in her veins. But... She'd done it. The meeting with the Vanderbilt Corporation's executives, her first major negotiation as a lead, was officially over, and it hadn't been a disaster. Nikolai walked beside her, calm as ever, his hand brushing the small of her back as they stepped out into the glass hallway. "You did great," he murmured in a proud tone. Cassie let out a nervous chuckle. "I almost tripped over my words when Mr. Grant asked about the animation proposal. You saw that, didn't you?" "I did," he admitted with a faint smile, "but I also saw how you recovered. You looked confident. That's what they'll remember." His words carried a warmth that settled the last of her nerves. During the presentation, he hadn't said much. He'd sat quietly, watching her with that focused gaze
