All Chapters of Divorced Him, Married His Brother: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Lyra's POVI couldn't move.Kira was still on the phone. “What company?” I finally asked.She mentioned a name I didn't recognize.Neither did Luca when I told him the company.The detective was still inside the office, so Luca stepped aside and made a call to his lawyer. I stayed near the desk, trying to understand how a business that had barely opened could already be facing a legal problem.My mother's designs were being accused of theft,That alone was ridiculous.She had been designing clothes for decades.But the problem was that the company claiming ownership had apparently registered several designs before our supplier produced them.If the claim was accepted, everything in my store could be seized.The clothes and accessories.Even the designs we had paid for.My hands began shaking.Luca noticed.“Lyra.”“I can't lose this.” i said with a shaky voice.“You're not going to.”“You don't know that.” I blurted.He came closer.“I know we're going to fight it.”I looked at him.“How? They

Lyra's POVThe store was still closed when I arrived the next morning.I stood outside for a moment, staring at the broken window.Yesterday, I had been worried about losing my hi business.Today, I had a much bigger problem.My daughter.The custody papers were still sitting in my bag.I had barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I imagined Cassian standing in front of a judge, asking for Eleanor.I couldn't let that happen.I unlocked the door and stepped inside.Kira was already there.She had cleaned most of the glass from the floor, but the damage was still obvious.“I brought coffee,” she said.I took the cup.“Thank you.”She watched me carefully.“Did you sleep?”“Not really.”“Me neither.”I placed the cup on the counter.“ have to meet my lawyer again today. And I need to find another supplier.”Kira nodded.“We'll find one.”I looked at her.“You don't have to stay.”“I know.”She smiled.“But I'm staying.”I smiled back.For a few seconds, everything felt normal.Then my phone rang.

Lyra’s POVI couldn’t take my eyes off the screen.Amelia had Eleanor.The thought that it actually happened didn’t feel real.I kept replaying the footage in my head. Cassian handing my daughter to Amelia as if she were nothing more than an object being passed between them.My hands were cold.Luca stood beside me, speaking to his security team, but I barely heard him.“Where would she take her?”Luca turned toward me.“We’ll find out.”“No. Think about Amelia.”He stopped.“She wants control. She wouldn’t take Eleanor somewhere random.”I looked at the footage again.“She’d want somewhere private, but somewhere she could still maintain control.”Luca nodded slowly.“My father’s properties.”“Would she have access?”I asked.Luca nodded. “Her family has done business with mine for years.”He immediately called his security chief.“Check every private Rourke and Vale property in New York.”His chief started making calls.I looked at Luca.“What about Cassian?”“We’ll find him too.”“He gave her

Luca’s POVI stepped out of the black SUV and looked across the private banking district. Everything around me looked completely different from the chaos waiting for me back in New York.Marcus stood beside me.“You’re sure this is where they came?”I looked at the building across the street.“That’s what the investigator confirmed.”“And Theron?”“He’s inside... probably.”Marcus exhaled slowly.“You realize this could destroy your relationship with your father.”I gave him a cold look.“My relationship with my father was already destroyed.”We crossed the street.The investigator had arranged access through a private entrance. I wasn’t interested in sneaking around. I wanted answers, and I wanted my father to know I was there.The elevator took us to the top floor.When the doors opened, two security guards immediately stepped forward.“Mr. Rourke.”I stopped.“You were expecting me.”Neither man answered.The doors behind them opened and Theron walked out.He wore a dark suit, his expres

Luca’s POVThe moment I landed in New York, I knew things had gotten worse.There were reporters outside the airport, waiting for me.I kept walking, trying to ignore them.“Luca! Is the engagement real?”“Are you taking over Rourke Holdings?”“What do you have to say about Lyra Edavanne?”They showered me with questions. I didn’t stop to even look at them.My driver opened the car door, and I got inside.Marcus climbed in after me.“Your father moved fast.”“He always does.”Marcus handed me his tablet.The headline on the screen made my jaw tighten.“LUCA ROURKE TO BECOME EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AS VALE-ROURKE ENGAGEMENT NEARS”Under it was a picture of Amelia.Another article showed Lyra standing outside her apartment, surrounded by reporters.I stared at the image.“She went outside?”Marcus nodded.“She made a statement.”“What did she say?”He turned the tablet toward me.I watched the recording.Lyra stood in front of the cameras, calm despite everything happening around her.She said she wa
