CHAPTER 45 PART 1
Ryan Steel returned to the lounge after taking his call, only to find his cousin Liam sitting frozen in his chair, his face drained of all color and his hands trembling violently."Liam?" Ryan's irritation shifted to concern. "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."Liam's mouth opened and closed wordlessly. Finally, he managed to croak out, "My money. All of it. Gone.""What are you talking about?" Ryan sat down, his expression sharpening. "Explain clearly.""Someone... someone drained my accounts. Every single one." Liam's voice was hollow with shock. "Two million dollars. Just... gone."Ryan's eyes widened. "Two million? How is that possible? Your accounts have security—""I got alerts. Transfers. And then..." Liam fumbled for his phone with shaking hands. "I got a message. From him. From Marcus Hayes.""What did it say?"Liam pulled up his messages, scrolling frantically. His face went from white to gray. "It was right here. I saw it. It said the money went to his account
CHAPTER 45 PART 2
Diana Morrison pulled into the circular driveway of her villa just after seven PM, exhausted from a day spent reassuring clients and reviewing security protocols with her IT team. The stress of the past few days weighed on her shoulders like physical pressure.As she approached the front door, an aroma stopped her in her tracks. Something savory and rich, with hints of garlic and herbs, wafted from inside the house. Her stomach growled despite her tension.She opened the door and found Marcus in the kitchen, moving between the stove and counter with practiced efficiency. He'd set the dining table with proper place settings, something she'd never seen him do before.Relief flooded through her so suddenly it was almost dizzying. She hadn't realized how worried she'd been about his whereabouts until this moment. After the police had taken him, after she'd discovered the truth about the hacking, she'd had no idea where to even begin looking for him."You're home," she said, the words comi
CHAPTER 46 PART 1
Liam Steel stood in the center of Diana's elegant dining room, his chest heaving with barely controlled rage, his finger still pointed accusingly at Marcus Hayes like a weapon."You think you're so smart, don't you?" Liam's voice trembled with fury. "You think you can just steal from me and get away with it? I'm warning you right now, Hayes—reverse what you did, or you're going to be in more trouble than your pathetic street rat brain can comprehend!"Diana set down her wine glass with a sharp clink, her expression hardening into the ice-cold mask that made grown businessmen squirm. "Liam, I asked you a question. What exactly are you talking about?"Liam's mouth opened, then snapped shut as the trap of his own making became crystal clear. His face cycled through several shades of red as he struggled with the impossible situation he'd created for himself.He couldn't tell Diana that Marcus had hacked his accounts and stolen two million dollars—because explaining why Marcus would target
CHAPTER 46 PART 2
*DEPOSIT CONFIRMED: $90,000 has been credited to Account ***3847. Sender: Account Recovery - Fraudulent Transaction Reversal.Diana's fingers flew across her screen, pulling up her full banking app. A second notification appeared even as she watched.*DEPOSIT CONFIRMED: $150,000 has been credited to Account ***3847. Sender: Account Recovery - Fraudulent Transaction Reversal."What is it?" Marcus asked, though his tone suggested he already knew."The money." Diana's voice was barely above a whisper. "It's back. All of it. Both withdrawals—they've been reversed and deposited back into my company account."She looked up at Marcus, her expression a complex mixture of relief, confusion, and a dawning realization she wasn't quite ready to accept. "How is this possible? The IT team said the hacker used offshore accounts that would be nearly impossible to trace. Asset recovery for this kind of theft usually takes months, if it happens at all.""Maybe the thief had a change of heart," Marcus s
CHAPTER 47 PART 1
The Morrison villa had settled into an unusual calm over the past few days. After Catherine's humiliating experience at the police station—where the officers had practically worshipped Marcus instead of arresting him—she'd made herself scarce, avoiding the villa entirely while she tried to process what had happened.Diana found the absence of her mother's constant interference surprisingly pleasant, though she'd never admit it out loud.Saturday morning arrived with pale autumn sunlight filtering through the villa's tall windows. Diana descended the curved staircase in comfortable loungewear, her hair pulled back in a simple ponytail—a rare concession to weekend casualness that she never would have allowed anyone to see before Marcus.The sound of voices from the living room made her pause halfway down the stairs.Marcus's voice, calm and measured as always. But there was another voice—deep, authoritative, with a slight accent Diana couldn't quite place. Not threatening, but definitel
CHAPTER 47 PART 2
"My marriage," Marcus confirmed. "Diana is my wife. That's a line even Sophia will have to respect, or face consequences she won't like."Diana felt something warm and complicated unfold in her chest at the conviction in Marcus's voice. He was claiming their marriage—their fake, contractual marriage—as something real and meaningful. As a shield against this mysterious Sophia woman."I hope you're right, sir," Rex said, though his tone suggested doubt. "But you know Sophia. Rules and boundaries don't apply to her the way they do to normal people. Her obsession with you has only grown stronger over the years, not weaker.""Then she's about to learn a very important lesson about accepting rejection," Marcus replied coldly. "I've been patient with her. I've been diplomatic. I've tried to let her down gently. But if she comes to this city and causes problems for Diana, all of that ends. Am I making myself clear?""Crystal clear, sir." Rex straightened even more, if that was possible. "What
CHAPTER 48 PART 1
Marcus held Diana's gaze for a long moment, clearly weighing how much to reveal. Finally, he turned to Rex, his expression carefully neutral."Thank you for the update, Rex. Keep me informed about the charity event—any changes to the schedule, the guest list, anything unusual.""Yes, sir." Rex's posture remained rigidly military, his eyes flicking between Marcus and Diana with barely concealed concern. "I'll have hourly reports ready by Monday.""That won't be necessary. Daily summaries will suffice." Marcus's tone softened slightly. "I appreciate you coming personally."Rex nodded once, sharp and precise, then turned to Diana with a respectful incline of his head. "Mrs. Hayes."As Rex moved toward the door, Diana's voice cut through the room like a whip crack. "Wait. Marcus, who exactly is Rex? You said colleague, but colleagues don't usually show up at seven AM on a Saturday with intelligence reports."Marcus's jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. "He's a business associate. We've wo
CHAPTER 48 PART 2
"Just trust me on this. It would be better if—""No." Diana's voice was flat, brooking no argument. "I don't care if your entire former client list is there. I need you at this event, Marcus. The Steel family has been spreading rumors about our marriage, questioning its legitimacy. Half the business community thinks I married some nobody off the street out of desperation or rebellion.""You did marry someone off the street," Marcus pointed out."But they don't need to know that," Diana snapped. "This gala is my chance to prove that my marriage is real, that my husband is respectable and supportive. If I show up alone, it confirms every nasty rumor Liam and Ryan have been spreading."Marcus was silent, clearly torn. Diana pressed her advantage."You signed a contract agreeing to play the role of my husband in public. That includes accompanying me to important social events. Unless you're planning to breach our agreement?"The subtle threat hung in the air. Marcus's expression hardened
CHAPTER 49 PART 1
The evening sun cast golden light across the newly renovated Antonetti Orphanage, transforming the old building into something almost magical. Elegant banners bearing the Whitmore Foundation logo hung from the restored Victorian facade, while strings of delicate lights wound through the ancient oak trees lining the entrance.Diana stepped out of the car Marcus had called for them—a sleek black sedan that was far nicer than anything she'd expected from her "modest" husband—and took in the transformed grounds with genuine surprise."I can't believe this is the same place," she murmured, her trained eye noting the professional landscaping, the pristine stonework, the gleaming windows that replaced the boarded-up ones she remembered from years ago. "The Antonetti Orphanage used to be practically condemned. This is... incredible."Marcus stood beside her, his perfectly tailored tuxedo fitting him with the kind of precision that spoke of custom work, not rental. His expression was carefully
CHAPTER 49 PART 2
Marcus's hand tightened almost imperceptibly on Diana's arm. She followed his gaze to see families arriving in waves—the Morrisons, the Steels, society matrons and business moguls all converging on the event like sharks scenting blood in the water."Stay close," Marcus murmured. "It's about to get crowded."He was right. Within minutes, the hall filled with the city's elite. Diana recognized faces from business magazines and society pages—CEOs, philanthropists, politicians, all eager to network and be seen supporting the right causes.Lucas Steel arrived with Liam trailing behind, the younger man's eyes immediately scanning the room until they landed on Diana. His face twisted with barely concealed hatred when he spotted Marcus at her side.Ryan Steel entered moments later, impeccably dressed and wearing his most charming smile. He worked the room like a politician, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, but his eyes kept drifting to Diana."I'm going to look around a bit," Diana
