All Chapters of I Was Always Yours: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Harry watched as Ella dozed off on the small cot he had set up for her. The stuffed bunny was clutched tightly in her little arms, her chest rising and falling in the steady rhythm of sleep.He ran a hand through his hair, exhaustion beginning to creep in. His mind raced with thoughts of what to do next. He had acted impulsively, but he couldn’t let Caroline keep Ella away from him any longer.Pulling out his phone, he typed a message:“If you want your daughter back, you’ll end things with Frederick. Permanently. Call me when you’re ready to listen.”He stared at the message for a moment before hitting send.---As the police questioned guests and staff, Caroline stood apart, her hands clenched tightly. She felt the weight of her silence pressing down on her.She knew exactly who was responsible. The messages Harry had sent her in the weeks leading up to the wedding were clear warnings. She had ignored them, thinking he wouldn’t dare follow through.But now, the realization hit her l

Caroline wiped her tears, her resolve hardening. She couldn’t afford to lose everything—Frederick, Ella, or the life she had built. As Frederick walked back into the house to join the search efforts, Caroline slipped away, her mind racing. Eleanor's words echoed in her head: “Tell Frederick the truth, or I will.” She knew her mother wouldn’t back down. Time was running out. She had to come up with something. Something close to the truth, enough to get her daughter out of Harry's hands. She needed to act fast. She was on her own now. Damien had turned his back on her, she needed to figure things by herself. She thought to herself and she went in search for Frederick. ---- Frederick sat in the living room, his hands clasped tightly together. His military contacts had promised swift action, but every passing second felt like an eternity. The tension in the room was palpable as officers moved in and out, relaying updates that offered little hope. Caroline reappeared, her f

Caroline nodded, stepping inside and closing the door behind her. “Is she okay?” she asked softly, her gaze fixed on Ella.“She’s fine,” Frederick replied, his tone sharp. “Thanks to the police, not you.”Caroline flinched, guilt carving deep lines into her expression. “I never wanted her to be in danger. I thought I could handle it. I thought—”“You thought?” Frederick interrupted, his voice rising slightly. “Do you have any idea what I’ve been through tonight? What Ella’s been through? You gambled with her life, Caroline!”Tears welled in her eyes. “I was desperate, Frederick. I didn’t know what else to do. I didn’t trust anyone else to fix this.”“You didn’t trust me,” he shot back, his words cutting deep. “I’m her father. If you had come to me instead of running off on your own, maybe none of this would’ve happened.”Eleanor stood, her face a mask of disdain. “And don’t think I’m letting you off the hook either. Do you have any idea how reckless you’ve been? Whatever secrets you’r

Caroline stared at her phone, disbelief and despair washing over her. For the first time, she felt completely and utterly alone. The walls she had carefully constructed around her lies were crumbling, and there was no one left to shield her from the fallout.She sank to the ground, clutching the phone to her chest as sobs wracked her body. Damien’s rejection was the final blow, leaving her with no choice but to face the truth—and Frederick—on her own.Soon Harry would be interrogated, and she couldn't tell the truths he would reveal. She needed to think and act fast, or everything she has been fighting for would come crashing down.----The interrogation room was dimly lit, the stark gray walls amplifying the tension that hung in the air. Harry sat in the metal chair, his face pale but defiant. His injured shoulder was bandaged, though the pain still lingered, a sharp reminder of his failed attempt to escape. Across the table sat two detectives, their expressions grim as they scrutini

The lawyer’s voice on the other end of the call was calm but firm. “Frederick, you have every right to pursue custody. Courts will prioritize the child’s best interests, and you’ve been Ella’s father in every way that matters.”Frederick sighed heavily, running a hand through his hair. “But I’m not her biological father. Does that even hold up in court?”“It’s not always about biology,” the lawyer replied. “You’ve been Ella’s legal guardian, her provider, her protector. The courts will consider the emotional bond you’ve built.”Frederick hung up, his mind swirling with conflicting emotions. Part of him wanted to walk away from the mess Caroline had created, to leave her lies behind and start over. But Ella wasn’t just a part of Caroline’s deception—she was a part of him. He couldn’t imagine a life without her in it.----Caroline sat in her bedroom, staring at the door to the guest room where Frederick now slept. She had lost him, she knew that much. But the thought of losing Ella, to
