The Forsaken Heiress: Becoming The Enemy’s Bride

Adopted into a wealthy family at a young age, Axelle always believed she had finally found the love and security she longed for. But behind the lavish dinners and polite smiles, dark secrets festered, and Axelle soon learned the hard way that blood may be thicker than water, but it can also be deadlier. When she catches her husband—the man she trusted with her heart—in bed with her sister, Axelle’s world shatters. Her heartbreak deepens as she realizes that this betrayal is only the tip of the iceberg. The family she sacrificed everything for has set her up to take the fall for their crimes, using her as a pawn in a game she never asked to play. But Axelle is no longer the naive girl who once craved acceptance. With nothing left to lose, she turns to the last person anyone would expect—her family's most dangerous enemy.

CHAPTER 13

AXELLE

It has been a full two days since the divorce, and still, there hasn't been a single word from either my family or Adan's regarding the looming lawsuit. To be honest, these past two days have felt like an eternity, as I've been on edge, half-expecting the police to come knocking at my door. But so far, there's been nothing. Just silence.

This morning, after getting fully dressed for work, I slipped into my car and instinctively checked my emails. I had sent a message to Ms. Isabelle a while ago, requesting a reservation, and I've been anxiously awaiting her response. Yet, no reply has come.

As I finally pulled into the company's parking lot, I took a deep breath before stepping out. 

I walked inside, briefly nodding at my secretary, who greeted me with her usual polite smile.

"Your father is waiting in your office," she announced calmly.
