Todos os capítulos de My Ex-Husband Begged After I Married His Enemy: Capítulo 31 - Capítulo 40

Chapter 31: The Girl at the Eastern GateThe girl at the eastern gate raised her face toward the camera, and Serena forgot how to breathe.The silver-star bracelet on the girl's wrist was unmistakable.Serena had worn its twin for as long as she could remember. Her mother had told her that the two bracelets had been made as a pair, one for each daughter, long before the fire destroyed their family.But the girl's face was partially hidden beneath the hood of her coat."Zoom in," Serena ordered.Lucian stepped closer to the security monitor. "Already trying."The image sharpened. The girl looked younger than Serena had expected, perhaps twenty-four, with pale skin and dark hair falling across one cheek. A thin scar ran above her left eyebrow.Serena's stomach tightened.The woman who had signed Isabella Vale's school records had carried a similar scar."Is that her?" Daniel asked behind them.Serena didn't answer.She was afraid that saying Isabella's name aloud would turn the possibil

Chapter 33: The Man Who Came Back from the DeadLucian didn't move.The man on the monitor had his brother's eyes.His brother's scar.Even the same crooked smile that had once appeared whenever he was about to do something reckless and expect Lucian to clean up the mess.But Adrian Blackwood had died seven years ago.Lucian had attended the funeral. He had watched a closed coffin lowered into the ground. He had listened to his father swear that the fire had taken the only son he had ever truly loved.And now a man who looked exactly like Adrian was standing outside the eastern gate, holding a silver-star bracelet."Open the gate," Lucian said.Serena caught his arm."No."His gaze remained fixed on the screen."That's my brother.""Or someone who knows exactly how to make you believe that.""I know his face.""You knew the face of a man who was declared dead without your seeing his body. You trusted a report that may have been forged. You just discovered your initials on a transfer o

Chapter 35: The Truth Beneath the Blood"Mother!"Serena dropped to her knees beside Amelia.Blood spread across her mother's shoulder, soaking through the pale fabric of her blouse. Her eyes were open, but her breathing came in short, painful gasps.Lucian moved instantly, pulling Serena away from the doorway while Daniel shouted through the earpiece."Who fired? Serena, answer me!""Someone shot my mother!"Lucian pressed his hand against Amelia's wound."Stay with us," he ordered. "Amelia, look at me."She tried to speak.He leaned closer."Don't waste your strength. We need to stop the bleeding."Serena tore a strip from the lining of her coat and pressed it against the wound."Mother, who did this?"Amelia's fingers closed around Serena's wrist."Not... the files.""I know. I'll listen to you. Just stay awake."Amelia shook her head weakly."The third child...""Tell me who it is."Her mother's eyes moved toward the open doorway.Serena followed her gaze.The corridor was empty.

Chapter 37: The Girl Who Wore My NameFor several seconds, Serena couldn't hear anything except the steady beeping of the monitor beside her mother’s bed.Two girls.One was supposed to survive.And Amelia had been forced to choose.Serena stared at her mother, struggling to recognize the woman beneath the pale face and the bandage wrapped around her shoulder."Which one did you choose?"Amelia closed her eyes."Serena...""No." Serena stepped closer. "You don't get to say my name as if that explains everything. You told me I was your daughter. You told me there were no twins. You told me that girl was brought into our house because she looked like me. Now you're telling me my father made you choose which one of us would live.""I never said she was your sister.""Then who was she?"Amelia's lips trembled."I don't know what name she was born with."Serena felt the floor shift beneath her."How can you not know?""Because your father never told me."Lucian moved closer, but Serena rai

Chapter 39: The Dead Girl's SignatureSerena couldn't take her eyes off the document.Her photograph.Her name.Her death certificate.Seven years ago."That's impossible," she whispered.Adrian leaned against the table."Is it?""You're telling me my father declared me dead while I was standing somewhere alive?""I'm telling you he signed the document."Lucian snatched the paper from the table."Where did you get this?""From the archive.""Who put it here?"Adrian gave him a humorless smile."You still think the answers are going to come from the people who kept you ignorant?"Lucian grabbed his collar."Seven years, Adrian. I buried you.""No. You buried a coffin.""I saw the forensic report.""You saw what Father wanted you to see."Lucian's grip tightened.Serena stepped between them."Enough. If he's lying, we'll find out. If he's telling the truth, I need to hear everything."Adrian looked at her."Your father didn't just declare you dead. He created another identity using your
