Chapter 3: The Hidden Contract
The wedding never happened.
Instead of celebrating, Isabella spent the night inside her fatherâs old office, searching through every document Adrian had given her.
Her lawyer arrived before midnight.
And after one hour of investigationâŠ
He found it.
A hidden contract.
A document Adrian had secretly prepared.
If Isabella married him, he would receive partial ownership of her company.
If she died unexpectedlyâŠ
He would inherit everything.
Isabella stared at the papers.
Her hands shook.
âHe planned my death?â
Her lawyer stayed silent.
Because the answer was obvious.
Meanwhile, Adrian disappeared.
But before leaving, he sent Isabella one message.
You ruined everything. Youâll regret this.
For the first time in months, Isabella wasnât afraid.
She looked at the message.
Then she looked at Lily.
The little girl who had risked everything to save her.
âThank you.â
Lily smiled sadly.
âI just didnât want you to marry someone who didnât love you.â
Those words broke Isabellaâs heart.
