CHAPTER 3: THE AFFAIR UNVEILED
By midnight, the truth had spread through the hospital like wildfire.
Director Enzo Marino was escorted out of his own office.
Not arrested.
Not yet.
But questioned.
Closely.
Because the footage wasn’t the only thing Marcus had uncovered.
There were messages.
Private calls.
Transfers.
Meetings that weren’t on any official schedule.
Marcus stood in his office, staring at the evidence laid out across the desk.
Isabella.
Enzo.
And someone else.
A third name.
One that made his jaw tighten.
Because it was his.
Forged emails.
Fake signatures.
Financial movements tied to his accounts.
Someone had been building a narrative.
A story where Marcus Thorne would fall—
—and Isabella would rise beside him.
Not as a mistress.
As a replacement.
Khloe hadn’t just been targeted.
She had been removed.
And the baby?
An inconvenience.
A liability.
A reason to erase her quietly.
Marcus exhaled slowly.
“They thought they could rewrite my life,” he murmured.
Daniel nodded. “They almost did.”
Marcus shook his head.
“No,” he said. “They underestimated one thing.”
“What’s that?”

Marcus looked toward the hospital room where Khloe was recovering.
“Who I become when someone touches my family.”
