All Chapters of Shadows Of Deception : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Adrian's POVI was taken to the police station in a nearby city and locked up in a cell, where I noticed two other individuals who appeared angry and agitated.Oh God, how did I end up here? I’m a billionaire, the son of one of the wealthiest men in the city, and I run a company known throughout the state. Tears streamed down my face, and my eyes were filled with pain over everything that was happening to me. My life had become a mess due to my grandfather's misguided plans and the suffering caused by our family lawyer, Maxwell.As I sat in the cell, memories flooded back of how he had faked a DNA test to claim that Vanessa was Ivy, the woman my grandfather had arranged for me to marry on my 29th birthday, before all the wealth tied to the company and properties will be handed over to me.I wish my 29th birthday had never come, as it marked the beginning of a series of problems. Even after marrying Vanessa, there was never a moment of peace at home, forcing me to often seek refuge wit

Maxwell POV I got dressed to head to the office, and my driver took my briefcase to the car before opening the door for me. The gateman greeted me with a wave and a "good morning" as he opened the gate, but I didn’t respond; my mind was preoccupied with my long-term plans. I was determined to do whatever it took to achieve them—I had come too far to turn back.I told myself that no one would stand in my way, not even Ivy. I would deal with her later. My intention was not to eliminate her, but she had become a threat to my ambitions. I could silence her for good. These thoughts consumed me until the driver honked in front of the office gate, snapping me back to reality. I had arrived at the office, lost in my own thoughts.I went straight to my study to turn on the TV and catch up on the news. To my shock, I saw Levi and the others being paraded as criminals. The journalist reported that they were the terrorists disrupting our peaceful city. He mentioned that they would be charged in

Dr Collins POVAs Collins was moved from the ICU to the surgical room, he felt grateful for his swift recovery and thankful to God for a successful surgery. "Hey honey, I can see you're overwhelmed by how quickly you've recovered," I said to him. "Yes, Margaret, you could say that again. I can't wait to leave here so I can check on Ivy and the kids. They feel like my grandchildren now." "I feel the same way, Collins," I replied."So, how is Adrian's case progressing?" he asked. "I received a text from Ivy this evening saying that Adrian will be going to court next week. She mentioned that she just got the message from Adrian's lawyer, Gabriel.""Oh, poor son. They didn't agree to his bail?" "No, Collins. Also, we will be the third and fourth witnesses in court, so you need to recover quickly." "Yes, Margaret, I have to, because next week is right around the corner.""Who are the first and second witnesses for Adrian?" "Ivy and the maid. Ivy and Gabriel discovered that the chief maid w

Ivy's POV Lily and I created a Facebook account, and while browsing profiles of the people answering Hawkins, we came across someone who resembles her. I suggested to Ethan that we should message this person, as she looks like Mrs. Hawkins from the pictures on Dad's phone.Yes, Lily, I sent her a greeting, but I haven't received a response yet. I introduced myself using a fake name and pretended to be an elderly woman. Lily found it amusing. I believe she'll respond; at least, I hope so.Before long, she replied, and I asked if we could be friends. She agreed. I inquired about her job, and she mentioned that she is currently unemployed.I offered to help her find work and noted that her face seemed familiar, asking if she had ever worked for the Blackwood family, as she reminded me of someone I had met there.She paused before responding, asking which Blackwood family I meant. I clarified that I was referring to the Adrian Blackwood family from years ago, wondering if that was where

Dr Collins POV I was having a conversation with Collins when I received a call from Ivy. I answered, and she told me she was outside with the kids. "Oh really? You will see me outside right away before I ended the call," I replied.I told Collins that Ivy and the kids had come to visit us. "Oh, really? I can't wait to see her! It's been such a long time since I last saw her," he said.I went outside to greet them and spotted them in the parking lot. I waved so they could see me, and as soon as the kids noticed me, they ran over to hug me. I embraced them tightly and asked how they were doing, to which they replied, "We're good, Grandma."Hearing that filled me with joy. Ivy came over and hugged me as well. We exchanged pleasantries before heading inside, making our way straight to Collins' room.Collins was surprised to see Ivy and the kids. "Good day, Grandpa," they greeted him. "How are you, little angels?" he asked. "You've both grown so much! What has Mommy been feeding you?" The
