My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 78: The Man in the Dark
No one moved.The basement seemed to hold its breath.Rebecca tightened her grip on Daniel Cross's letter. Beside her, Ava instinctively stepped closer to Sebastian.The darkness concealed everything beyond the reach of their extinguished flashlights.Only the voice remained.Calm.Patient.Almost conversational."You don't have to hide."Detective Morales raised one hand, signaling everyone to stay silent.Then he called into the darkness."Police.""If you're armed, identify yourself."A soft chuckle echoed through the corridor."I've never liked guns."The footsteps resumed.Slow.Deliberate.Closer.A figure finally emerged into the faint light filtering down the stairwell.He was tall and lean, dressed in a charcoal-gray suit despite the underground dust.His silver hair was neatly combed.He carried no weapon.At least none that anyone could see.He stopped several feet away and looked around the room.His eyes settled first on Ava.Then Rebecca.Finally, Sebastian.He smiled."

By the time they returned to the hotel, the attack at Sabino Canyon was already making the morning news.Television screens in the lobby showed aerial footage of police vehicles surrounding the visitor center.Reporters spoke of an attempted kidnapping.An active investigation.A gunman still at large.But they didn't know the real story.They didn't know why Ava had been targeted.Or why a thirty-year-old family secret had suddenly become deadly again.Morales switched off the television."The less attention this gets, the better."No one disagreed.The conference room felt different now.Not tense.Focused.The attack had stripped away the uncertainty.Someone powerful believed they were getting close.That meant they were.Ava placed the brass key on the table.It looked ordinary.Worn edges.Scratches from years of use.Nothing about it suggested that people had just risked murder to recover it.Sarah examined it with a magnifying glass."There's something engraved here."She tilt
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 76: Echoes in the Canyon
The first shot stunned everyone.The second erased any doubt.By the third, Detective Morales was already moving."Down!" he shouted.Rebecca instinctively pulled Ava behind the low stone wall bordering the parking area. Sebastian grabbed Elias by the arm and guided him behind a parked truck.The peaceful morning dissolved into chaos.Visitors screamed.A cyclist abandoned his bicycle and dove behind a picnic table.Two hikers sprinted toward the visitor center.Morales spoke into his radio."Active shooter. Sabino Canyon Visitor Center. Secure the area. Medical units on standby."His voice remained steady.Years of experience had taken over.Another shot rang out.This one shattered the windshield of an empty patrol car.Glass exploded across the pavement."They're firing to scare us," Harrison said, crouching behind the vehicle.Morales shook his head."No.""They're walking the shots."Harrison frowned."What?""They're adjusting their aim."His expression hardened."The next one w
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 75: The Mercer Patent
The words lingered in the morning air.The Mercer patent.For a moment, no one understood.Sebastian looked at Elias.Rebecca did the same.Even Morales seemed puzzled."A patent?" Sarah repeated.Arthur Blackwood smiled."The fact that none of you knows about it proves how well it was hidden."He clasped his hands behind his back."You've been chasing murders.""You should have been chasing paperwork."Morales kept one hand near his holster."That's close enough, Mr. Blackwood."Blackwood stopped walking."I have no intention of running."His confidence unsettled everyone.It wasn't arrogance.It was the certainty of a man who believed he still controlled the situation.Elias stepped forward."What patent?"Blackwood looked almost amused."You really don't know.""I asked you a question."Blackwood sighed."Very well."He glanced toward the canyon before speaking."Thirty-two years ago, you and Claire developed something together."Elias frowned."No, we didn't.""You did.""I would
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 74: Sunrise at Sabino Canyon
Long before dawn, nobody was asleep.The hotel lobby was quiet except for the occasional crackle of police radios.Detective Morales stood over a map spread across a coffee table.Sabino Canyon.Two entrances.Several hiking trails.More than enough places for an ambush."We treat this like a protective operation," he said."Not a raid."Sebastian nodded."If the letter is genuine, the writer came to us voluntarily.""And if it isn't?" Harrison asked.Morales looked up."Then someone wants all of us in one place."The possibility hung heavily over the room.Lena zipped up a light jacket."So we prepare for both."The convoy left Tucson while the streets were still dark.As the first hints of daylight touched the mountains, the desert began to wake.Saguaros cast long shadows across the sand.Jackrabbits darted between shrubs.The silence outside the vehicles contrasted sharply with the tension inside them.Rebecca sat beside Elias.Neither had spoken since leaving the hotel.Finally,

My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 24: The Version They Want
The first article went live at 6:12 a.m.By 6:30, there were five more.By 7:00, it wasn’t a story anymore.It was a narrative.Lena read the headlines in silence.Not because they surprised her.But because they were… precise.Too precise.She set the tablet down.Carefully.Too carefully.Across
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 22: Public Damage
The first thing Lena noticed was how quiet the room became.Not because there was peace—there wasn’t.But because silence was often the first sign of something catastrophic.Sebastian kept reading.Once.Twice.Each time slower.As if the article might somehow change if he stared at it long enough.
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 20: The Name in the File
Lena did not like being told to come alone.People who asked for privacy usually wanted leverage, and leverage often came dressed as information. Still, by seven that evening, she was walking into a quiet law office on the far side of downtown Tucson, carrying none of the calm she projected.The bu
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 27: What They Almost Said
Rain in Tucson was rare.That morning, it came quietly.A soft grey drizzle clung to the windows of Hartwell Enterprises, turning the city beyond into blurred light and shadow. Employees moved through the lobby with umbrellas and hurried steps, their voices lower than usual, as though the weather i
