Secrets & Schemes: Entangled with the Whitmore Brothers
Claire Whitmore discovered that her newlywed husband Caleb Whitmore’s so-called business trip had actually been a trip to the postnatal retreat, where he was keeping vigil beside Serena Hale as she gave birth.
And Serena was not just Caleb’s precious first love, but his brother’s wife.
She was also the hit-and-run driver who had killed Claire’s grandma.
In that moment, everything finally became clear.
Caleb had married her for one reason only.
To help Serena get away with murder.
Claire held back her tears and did two things.
First, she brought in a world-renowned neurosurgeon.
She was going to wake the true head of the Whitmore family, Gideon Whitmore, and let him see for himself how his wife and his younger brother had been carrying on behind his back.
Second, she began gathering every piece of evidence in secret.
Everyone who had hurt her would answer for it.
From that moment on, Claire stopped living as anyone’s dutiful wife. She was done stepping aside.
All she wanted was justice for herself and for her grandma.
She had thought dealing with a man as unreadable and ruthless as Gideon would mean a battle of wills.
But in front of everyone, he stepped to her side of his own accord and did not ask a single question.
“I’ll get you the answer you’re owed.”
And Caleb, the husband who claimed to love her more than anyone yet kept asking her to suffer in silence, finally fell apart.
Claire only gave a cold laugh.
“You wanted your brother’s wife. Now I’m marrying your brother, and you’re losing your mind?”
