Chapter 3 – The Truth Everyone Tried to Hide
Three days later, another surprise shattered what remained of Adrian's world.
His attorney requested an emergency meeting.
"There are financial records you need to see."
Adrian frowned.
"What records?"
The lawyer pushed several folders across the table.
During the final year of the marriage, millions of dollars had quietly disappeared from one of Adrian's companies.
The transfers had all been approved using his digital authorization.
But he had never signed them.
Every transfer led to shell companies...
Eventually ending in accounts controlled by Celeste.
Security emails.
Deleted messages.
Fake invoices.
Hidden contracts.
Everything had been carefully buried.
Until Mia's lawyer uncovered it while reviewing the divorce settlement.
Adrian's breathing became uneven.
"She stole from me?"
The lawyer nodded.
"And she manipulated evidence during your divorce."
"What evidence?"
"The anonymous messages claiming Mia was cheating."
"The medical records suggesting Mia was infertile."
"The rumors spread throughout your company."
"They all originated from Celeste."
Adrian leaned back in stunned silence.
Every argument.
Every accusation.
Every sleepless night.
Every cruel word he had thrown at Mia...
Had been built on lies.
Meanwhile, Celeste was being questioned by financial investigators.
