All Chapters of Obsessed with His Unwanted Mute Bride : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The crawlspace ended at a rusted metal grate half-buried in dirt and leaves. Diro kicked it open, the old hinges giving way easily. Cold night air rushed in, and Beverly had never been so grateful to feel wind on her face.They emerged into darkness. Complete darkness. The moon was hidden behind thick clouds, and the woods stretched out around them like a black wall. No lights from the mansion were visible through the trees. They were on the far edge of the property, exactly where Maurice had said they would be.Diro helped Beverly out of the tunnel, then quickly pushed the grate back into place and covered it with leaves and branches. Not perfect camouflage, but maybe enough to hide their escape route for a few precious minutes."Can you walk?" Diro asked quietly.Beverly nodded, though she was not sure it was true. Her legs felt like water. Her whole body was shaking from cold and fear and exhaustion. But they had to move. Had to get away from here before Irene's men found the tunne

Maurice's recorded face filled the phone screen, his expression serious and sad. Diro held the phone so both he and Beverly could see. The fire crackled beside them, but the cabin felt suddenly colder."Diro," Maurice said from the video, "by the time you see this, you probably already know some of what I am about to tell you. But you need to hear all of it. You need to see the proof. Because what Irene Carter did was not just manipulation. It was not just lies. It was criminal. It was evil."Maurice shifted in his seat, pulling out papers and holding them up to the camera."Twenty-five years ago, on November fifteenth, at Mercy General Hospital, two baby boys were born. The first was born at eleven forty-two PM to Irene Carter. The second was born at eleven fifty-one PM to another family. I will tell you which family soon. But first, you need to understand what happened that night."The video cut to images of hospital records. Birth certificates. Medical charts. Diro leaned closer, s

Diro slowly raised his hands, his body still positioned protectively in front of Beverly. "I am not going to hurt her.""You have done nothing BUT hurt her," Vanya spat. Her gun never wavered. "For months. We watched you destroy her. Humiliate her. Break her down piece by piece.""Vanya, please—" Diro started."Shut up," Murphy cut him off. "You do not get to talk. You do not get to explain. You are a Carter. You are poison. And we are taking Beverly away from you right now."Beverly stepped out from behind Diro, her hands moving frantically. Wait. Please wait. Let me explain."Beverly, get away from him," Vanya said, her voice softer but still urgent. "Come to me. You are safe now. He cannot hurt you anymore."He is not hurting me, Beverly signed emphatically. He is helping me. We are running from his mother. Together.Murphy's expression darkened with disbelief. "Running from Irene Carter? Is that the story he fed you? And you believed him?"It is the truth, Beverly signed. Her hand

Diro stepped back from Don Fernandez's touch, his mind reeling. "You cannot know that just by looking at me.""You are right," Don Fernandez said. "I cannot know for certain just by looking. But I can feel it. A father knows his child." He moved back to his desk and pressed a button on the phone. "Send Dr. Silva to my office immediately.""What are you doing?" Diro asked."DNA test," Don Fernandez said simply. "If you are my son, we will know within hours. The lab here can run emergency tests. We have the equipment and the samples we need."Diro felt the room tilt. Maurice's video had hinted at this. Had said Diro was stolen from another family. But hearing it confirmed by someone claiming to be his biological father was completely different. The USB drive was evidence on a screen. This was real. This was a man standing in front of him saying "you are my son" with absolute certainty."And if the test proves I am not your son?" Diro asked."Then you are not," Don Fernandez said. "And w

The room fell silent after Don Fernandez's declaration. Everyone waited for Diro's response. Waited to see if he would choose blood or the woman who raised him.Diro stood slowly, his legs unsteady. "You want me to betray Irene. To help you destroy her.""She is not your mother," Don Fernandez said firmly. "She is a kidnapper. A murderer. She stole you from us.""But she raised me," Diro said, his voice strained. "For twenty-five years. She fed me, clothed me, taught me everything I know. She is the only mother I have ever known.""She manipulated you," Maria said, her voice breaking. "She turned you into someone you were never supposed to be. She made you hate your own family.""I know that," Diro said. "I know what she did. But it does not change the fact that she is the only parent I remember. The only one who was there my whole life."Beverly stood and moved to Diro's side. Her hands moved urgently: She murdered my parents. She stole you. She tried to kill our baby. She deserves t
