All Chapters of I Married His Enemy: Return Of The Forgotten Princess : Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

The drive back to the penthouse was quiet. Both of them were in their own thoughts Cassie sat with her hands folded in her lap, sneaking glances at her husband now and then. Nikolai’s face was hard to read; his eyes were focused on the road ahead, but his knuckles were tight around the steering wheel. Every few seconds, his jaw flexed as if he was chewing down words he didn’t want to say. Cassie’s heart ached. She knew that look. It was the same look he wore when he lost sleep over the company issues, or when Emily was sick and he felt powerless. But this… this was heavier. This wasn’t just business or fatherhood. This was family, a blood tie he never asked for but was now forced to face. When they finally reached the penthouse, Nikolai parked but didn’t move. He just sat there, breathing deeply and staring out at the skyline. Cassie reached across the console, laying her hand gently on his. “Nick,” she whispered. He turned to her, his eyes softer now but shadowed by exh

Nikolai stepped closer, voice calm but filled with emotion. “Is that what she told you?” He whispered. Adrian froze. “Eliana told you my father betrayed her, didn’t she?” Nikolai continued softly. “That he used her and discarded her? That our family destroyed hers out of pride?” Adrian’s throat tightened. His silence was answered enough. Nikolai sighed, pain flickering across his face. He wasn't the type to show emotions. But when it comes to his family, he feels more human than robot. “That’s not what happened, Adrian. My father didn’t betray her. The story is a lot to take in. I can explain everything to you in detail if you want. But... but... your mother... She drugged him. It was captured on CCTV at the military base. She was discharged for it. Our families broke apart because of that, not because my parents wanted to ruin hers.” “Stop lying!” Adrian shouted, his voice trembling. “You’re just defending them! You’ll say anything to protect your perfect little world!” For th

Adrian froze, his eyes glimmering with pity and helplessness. “Mother, please…” “I suffered for you!” she continued, voice hoarse, desperate. “I protected you from their evil! Everything I did, I did for you, Adrian! Don’t let them turn you against me!” Adrian’s heart clenched. He’d never seen her this way, broken, terrified, unrecognizable. And in that moment, the seeds of Nikolai’s words... “Maybe your mother lied to you” ...began to shrivel. No! His mother wasn’t lying. She couldn’t be. He’d seen the pain in her eyes, the trembling in her voice. No liar could act like that. Adrian felt tears sting his own eyes. “I’m sorry, Mother,” he whispered, his voice breaking. “I should never have doubted you. I let them get into my head.” Eliana turned slowly, her mascara smudged, her face streaked with tears. Her hands were still shaking as she reached for him. “My boy… you’re all I have left. Don’t let them take you away from me too.” Adrian took her trembling hands into his and n

Cassie walked in a moment later, still clutching her tablet, her expression pale and shaken. “Nik… It’s everywhere. Every major outlet has published it. Someone leaked old reports, edited contracts, and even pictures of internal documents. It looks real.” “Because it was made to look real,” he muttered coldly, tossing his phone on the bed. Cassie’s throat tightened. “You think it’s him… You know... Adrian?” Nikolai looked up at her, the answer already written in his eyes. “Who else would have both the motive and the access?” ******* Cassie’s heart sank. “But…" why go this far with such lies? Why drag the entire family into the mud? He knows what this could do to Lucas and Gloria. Their reputation...” “...is exactly what he wants to destroy,” Nikolai cut in sharply, his tone calm but furious. He paced toward the window, watching the sunrise struggle through the thick fog over the city. “He’s not just fighting a battle anymore, Cassie. He’s declaring war. He had made his decision

The glass doors of Glory and Hayes Corporation swung open with a sharp swing that made several heads turn. The morning air that swept in was cold, but the man who walked through it was colder. Nikolai didn't walk like a businessman. He walked like a storm, his steps heavy and filled with an intensity that made the entire lobby seem smaller. His gray eyes were frozen fire, and his jaw set with wrath. He was done playing nice. He didn't come here for pleasantries. Everyone who saw him instantly knew something was wrong. "Is that... Nikolai Rosewood?" "Why is he here?" "Look at his face-he looks furious..." Whispers rippled across the lobby as the staff exchanged nervous glances. No one dared to breathe too loudly. Even the security guards froze where they stood. The tension was suffocating. Nikolai went to the receptionist and asked where Adrian was. However, just at that moment, the elevator doors ahead slid open with a soft chime, and from it stepped Adrian himself in his
