***Daniel’s POV***Emma startled at the sound of my movement and fell back onto her butt. I ignored her and walked into the closet, quickly getting dressed. When I emerged, she was sitting meekly on the edge of the bed, looking small and pitiful. Her hair spilled wildly over her shoulders, and she appeared utterly wrecked. There were clear signs of exhaustion on her body. I wondered if she had eaten properly during these past few days I have not been around.A sharp knock on the door shattered the tense silence. I crossed the room and opened it.“What is it?” I asked the guard.“The Adams family insists on speaking with you, sir.”“Didn’t I say I would meet them tomorrow?”“Yes, but they’re demanding to see you tonight.”I let out an irritated groan and dismissed the guard. “Tell them I’m coming.”I closed the door and glanced back at Emma. Her face was strangely blank as she stared at nothing in particular. I had expected anger, jealousy—something. But there was none of that. May

Rachael was pacing anxiously in the living room when I arrived. Her parents rose immediately at the sight of me.“Daniel, you...” Rachael’s words died in her throat the moment she saw the look on my face. The conversation with Emma was still rubbing off on me. “Daniel, why do you look so angry?” Rachael’s panicked voice filled the room. “Did my sister say something? I swear, whatever she told you is a lie. I didn’t do...”“Rachael!” her mother cut her off sharply.The atmosphere grew thick with tension. I immediately sensed that there was something important I'm missing.“You didn’t do what?” I asked, fixing my gaze on Rachael.She began stammering, her words incoherent and rushed.“Calm down and explain,” I said, my patience fraying with every second."“That doesn’t matter right now,” mom interrupted. “What matters is that you abandoned Rachael in the middle of the ring exchange. Now, Rachael’s reputation is at stake.”I took a deep breath and sat in the nearest arm chair. “I’ll hav

“Rachael,” my assistant repeated. “Miss Rachael ordered the attack. We traced the bank accounts and the phone numbers — everything leads back to her. I’ve left the full file on your desk.”My head buzzed as I drove home, thoughts of Roland completely forgotten. Rachael? She was the one who wanted Emma dead. How could she even consider something so monstrous? My stomach twisted as I remembered Emma desperately trying to tell me the truth that day. I hadn’t even given her a chance. I had brushed her off without a second thought.The moment I reached home, I went straight to my study and pored over the documents again and again, searching for any possibility that someone was framing her. But the evidence was damning. Every trail pointed directly to Rachael.The memory of the fight between her and Emma replayed in my mind. Emma had accused Rachael of sending those men, and I had dismissed it instantly. Regret clawed at my chest. I should have listened. Who knew what kind of punishment my

Rachael huffed and stood up, clearly unwilling to elaborate. I immediately blocked the door before she could leave. “Tell me what you’re talking about. Right now.” “Oh, please, Daniel. You don’t have to pretend you care about her in front of me.” She stepped closer, her hand trailing deliberately up my chest. “You can drop the act.” I seized her wrist, my heart hammering. “She is my wife. I care about her — down to the last strand of her hair.” She let out a cold, mocking laugh that echoed through the study. “What’s so funny?” “So you’re telling me you care about her, yet you gave orders for her to be locked up and fed only once a day for an entire week?” “I didn’t—” “Daniel, there’s no need to act like you’re better than me,” she sneered. “I may have hired men to erase her from the picture, but you… you’ve done far worse. Emotionally. Physically.” She yanked her hand free and stormed out of the room. I stood frozen, her words ringing in my ears like a death knell. L

His words landed like a slap across my face.Confused and still trying to piece together what was happening, I waited in silence for him to continue.“I owe her,” he said, voice low and hard. “I embarrassed her in front of everyone on our engagement day. Left her standing alone on that stage. She’s become a laughingstock. This is my way of making it right.”I stared at him, unable to believe what I was hearing. “How does that have anything to do with me? If you left her alone on that stage, that’s your problem—and hers—to fix. It has absolutely nothing to do with what she did to me. I deserve justice.” My voice rose before I could stop it.“Really?” His eyes darkened with sudden fury. “You don’t have anything to do with it, huh?”I didn’t understand why he was the one getting angry. I was the one who had been beaten nearly senseless. The bruises on my body still hadn’t faded. I was the one who had almost lost my baby. I was the one who had been falsely accused and locked in a cold, da
