Chapter 2: The Girl Who Recorded Everything

Security surrounded Adrian.
But Isabella stopped them.
âNo.â
Everyone looked at her.
âI want to know everything.â
She turned toward Lily.
âTell me what happened.â
The little girl looked nervous.
She slowly explained.
Her father used to work at Adrianâs company.
A few days earlier, she had accidentally found the broken camera inside an office storage room.
She didnât know why it was there.
But when she repaired the battery and pressed playâŠ
She heard Adrianâs voice.
Not the charming man from television.
Not the perfect future husband.
A stranger.
A dangerous stranger.
âHe was talking about you,â Lily said.
âHe said after the wedding, you would sign papers giving him control.â
Isabellaâs face went pale.
Because she remembered.
The night before the wedding, Adrian had asked her to sign âfamily protection documents.â
He told her it was just a legal formality.
A way to protect their future children.
But nowâŠ
She understood.
It was never about love.
It was about ownership.
Adrian suddenly laughed.
âYouâre going to believe a random child over me?â
The room became silent.
Then Isabella answered.
âYes.â
One word.
But it destroyed him.
Because for the first time, Adrian realized he had lost control.

Not only of the wedding.
Of everything.
