The divorce papers were waiting for her.They sat in the middle of the dining table.Neat.White.Perfectly arranged.Almost as if they were just another business document waiting for Adrian Blackwood’s signature.Elena stared at them.She didn’t touch them.She couldn’t.Not yet.Her eyes slowly moved across the first page.Petition for Dissolution of Marriage.Her heart sank.For a moment…She forgot how to breathe.Then she heard footsteps.Slow.Steady.Familiar.Adrian walked into the dining room.He looked exactly the way he always did.Tall.Perfectly dressed.His black suit fitted his broad shoulders, and his dark hair was carefully styled. His expression was cold and unreadable.The kind of face that had appeared on magazine covers for years.The kind of man women dreamed about.The kind of man Elena had once believed she would spend the rest of her life with.He pulled out the chair opposite her.Then he sat.No greeting.No explanation.He simply looked at the papers.“Sign

Elena barely slept that night.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the divorce papers.Then Adrian’s face.Then Clara.She turned onto her side and stared at the ceiling.She had spent years believing that the hardest thing she would ever have to do was become Mrs. Adrian Blackwood.Now she understood.Leaving him was harder.But staying would have destroyed her completely.Elena reached for her phone.There was one new message.Unknown Number.She stared at it for several seconds before opening it.The message was short.I know what you can do. If you’re serious about starting over, meet me tomorrow at ten.Below it was an address.Elena frowned.It was one of the most expensive business districts in the city.She immediately thought of the mysterious caller from yesterday.Marcus Reed.She hadn’t been able to stop thinking about his words.You were never supposed to be just someone’s wife.The sentence had stayed in her head.She didn’t know why.Maybe because it was something s

Elena arrived at the office before everyone else.The building was quiet.Most of the lights were still off, and the hallway smelled faintly of fresh paint.She unlocked the door to Hart Enterprises and stepped inside.For a moment, she simply stood there.This was hers.Not Adrian’s.Not the Blackwood family’s.Hers.The thought still felt strange.She placed her handbag on the desk and turned on her computer.There were already several emails waiting.She opened the first one.A potential client had requested a meeting.The second was from the legal team.The third was from the investment group that had offered fifty million dollars.Elena smiled.Things were moving faster than she expected.But something about the investment offer bothered her.Forty percent.That was too much.She wasn’t willing to give anyone that kind of control.She opened the proposal again.The numbers were impressive.The conditions weren’t.She was about to close the document when Daniel walked in.“You’re

The moment Elena Hart stepped out of the storage facility, her phone rang. Unknown number. She stared at the screen, remembering the threatening message she had received earlier. For a moment, she considered ignoring the call. Then she answered. “Hello?” A man’s voice came through, low and hurried. “Miss Hart, you need to listen carefully. Whatever you found in that storage unit, put it back and forget about it.” Elena stopped walking. “Who is this?” “Someone trying to keep you alive.” Her grip tightened around the phone. “If you know what I found, then you already know I won’t stop until I understand what my mother was involved in.” There was a brief silence. “Your mother made the same mistake.” The call ended. Elena stared at the screen, her heart pounding. Her mother had been dead for three years. Yet suddenly, it felt as though someone had been waiting all that time for Elena to uncover a secret that should have remained buried. She hurried to her car and locked the

Elena stared at the name written beneath her mother’s signature. Ethan Hart. For several seconds, the world around her seemed to disappear. The corridor, the document case in her arms, and even Marcus Reed standing a few feet away faded into the background. Her brother’s name was on the letter. The same brother who had stood beside her through every difficult moment since her divorce. The same brother who had comforted her when she cried over Adrian, helped her prepare the first business proposal for Hart Enterprises, and promised that they would rebuild their lives together. Why would their mother connect him to a financial crime? “What does this mean?” Elena demanded. Marcus looked at the letter but didn’t attempt to take it from her. “I was hoping you wouldn’t find that name.” “That’s not an answer.” “I know.” “Then give me one.” Her voice rose. “Why did my mother write Ethan’s name here? What did he have to do with Blackwood Capital Holdings?” Marcus glanced toward the
