Chapter 108. Sky Flowers Garden."Are you going to play newlyweds, and what about me? Am I going to be your daughter?" she asked eagerly."Are you serious?" Gaby asked.She's being ironic, actually, she's being quite sarcastic, and no, you're not going, if that's what you want to know, and besides, you should stay as far away as possible."I invited him to go out! What do I do?" she asked frustrated, putting her hands to her head and messing up her hair while Gaby and Jayden suppressed their laughter."Stick to the plan, we're not sure yet, so don't cut ties now, keep it up until we're sure of what's happening in that place and who the woman who answered is.""Are you suggesting that I should continue this? Go out with Taylor?" she asked skeptically."We only have this, despite being suspicious, it's not much, I'll try to trace the location through this number, and I'll find out which neighborhood it is, but this could just be any address, so continue with the plan.""I'm tired of see
Chapter 109. Suspicious Neighborhood.The couple had no trouble entering the private neighborhood, but they noticed they were being watched."There are cameras installed in strategic places." Jayden commented as they made their way into the house, heading to a room." See this?" He asked, tapping a wall with his finger."Is it hollow?"This is my observation room; no one can find or detect anything, and we can access the cameras. Soon, we'll see how we can navigate the area, what kind of people can enter." He explained, turning on screens showing real-time scenes from surveillance cameras."Okay... Let's get started!" She announced, sitting in one of the chairs, putting her feet up on the table as Jayden watched her with a sly smile, making her curious." Any problem?"We're out of food." He said, trying not to laugh."Darn it! All that decoration made me hungry."Our first mission as a couple, grocery shopping!" He announced, looking casually at her."Why do you seem so weird?"I don't
Chapter 110. What to Believe Now?Elizabeth, upon entering the room, paid no attention to anything. She went into the bathroom and washed her body as if she were so dirty that she needed to scrub her skin forcefully.Meanwhile, at the Leblanc mansion, they were bombarded with so many calls that, once again, the front of their mansion was filled with reporters."What the hell is happening?" Ryuk asserted as he read the news.[Confirmed: Richard Campbell was not really missing; he fled and is now living with his secret family in another country.][Richard Campbell, married for five years to a simple girl; could the marriage with Elizabeth be annulled?][Richard Campbell deceived the Leblanc family; what will be the outcome of this?]"It's in all the newspapers; how did they find out?" He asked Ryuk, heading to the office."We have to go get Elizabeth; everything must be a mess over there too."Could this be true? It could be a setup." Eliza suggested, meeting the siblings."I don't know
Chapter 111. Zeus's Decision.The newspapers announced the news with all the evidence, and Elizabeth's email had even more proof. Still, despite the certainty that all of it was true, somehow, nothing made sense. By the next day, Zeus's decision was already plastered across all the newspapers; at that moment, everyone was certain of Richard and the entire Campbell family's downfall. Early in the morning, Zeus was already gathered in his conference room with dozens of men and lawyers; at that moment, he would begin cutting all ties and agreements he had with the Campbells.Alfred was also present, albeit a bit weakened. While relieved to see that his nephew was well, he also realized that something was not adding up, aside from the fact that all this news had come out, yet he couldn't even get in touch with Richard."As you know, after all these news and the emotional damage my daughter has suffered, I will be terminating any contract with Richard Campbell's companies," Zeus announced.
Chapter 112. When Everyone Stops Believing."What are you thinking?" she asked as she lay back down."We're going to annul your marriage to Richard," he announced, making her jump out of bed in surprise."What are you talking about?""There's no reason to stay married to him. Besides, it seems he's married to another woman, so don't insist on this, just cancel the marriage.""Dad... I'm not ready yet," she confessed, keeping her gaze anxious and hopeful."You've seen everything that happened and everything Richard did to you. Why not detach yourself? Besides, you fought so hard not to marry him, and even tried to end this marriage. You have your chance now!""But now I love him, I can't, not this... I found out the truth only yesterday after months, and now you want to hit me with all this; I'm not ready, I still don't want to!" She started screaming hysterically in tears."Calm down," Ryuk pleaded, trying to hold her, and then hugging her tightly as she cried in despair.Zeus, for a
**113. Annulment Letter**Zeus was at the entrance when the butler handed him the envelope that had just been delivered to him."What's this?" Elizabeth asked, seeing her father looking at her suspiciously."A letter for you.""For me?" she asked eagerly, running towards him with the intention of grabbing the letter, but he stopped her."Be patient, let me read it, and then I'll give it to you. I'm not sure if this will be good for you.""It's a legal letter, what does it say? It's mine!" she asserted, managing to take the envelope from her father's hand. "Annulment of marriage according to Article 1,521, VI. People who are already married cannot marry..."As she read the paper, everything around her seemed to be collapsing."Liz!" Brian shouted, holding her when her body lost strength, and she fainted.They took her back to the room and went to the living room, still pensive about the information."I had forgotten about this detail. Whether requested or not, the marriage would be ann
**Chapter 114: Secrets and Discoveries**Ailda didn't have the courage to answer. She tried to get up to leave, but Elizabeth stopped her."Please, don't tell me you're his mother. Are you?" she insisted again."I can't talk about it.""So... So, that story about their mothers dying when he was born is a lie? Of course, I found that story so absurd!""Yes, but Alfred always has good arguments.""And Richard's father?""Okay, I'll tell you the truth about Richard's father, Alfred's only son.""He's dead, right?"She shook her head negatively."In fact... Do you remember Aurora? You know the disease she has; it's hereditary. But for some reason, Freddy's four children didn't have it, but Aloury's daughter was born with it. Richard's father has the same disease, and that's why Richard never knew him, just like his sisters. The only one who knew about him was Reitor, Richard's older brother, who died with this secret, unfortunately. Reitor took care of his father and was always present in
**Chapter 115: Rescue Plan**While they were on their way home, they noticed some men approaching the house and talking to the woman. Jayden's heart pounded in his chest."There are too many men for two unarmed people, so relax," Gaby said, intertwining her fingers with his, trying to calm him.Once they returned, both sat on the sofa in silence, simultaneously anxious."We have to get him out of that house today!" Jayden announced."We need to plan carefully; otherwise, they'll catch us.""So... Today, we have to do something and manage to get into the house," Jayden suggested, trying to think of an alternative. "I know!," he suddenly announced, dragging Gaby into the observation room."What are you looking for?" she asked while he tinkered with the panel."There's a complex power center beneath this neighborhood that shuts down all power boxes. Usually, there's a specialized team to handle it, but they don't know.""What does that mean?""It means that even if they call a regular el
