CHAPTER 3 — The Secret Isabella Was Hiding
Three days later…
Harrison Cole received an unexpected message.
A former employee from Rossi International wanted to meet.
Her name was Claire Bennett.
She arrived carrying a folder.
“I know what Isabella did.”
Harrison opened the folder.
Inside were financial records.
Emails.
Private messages.
And something much worse.
“She planned this.”
Harrison looked up.
“What do you mean?”
Claire swallowed.
“Isabella wasn’t trying to scare Khloe.”
She pointed at the documents.
“She was trying to destroy the marriage.”
The evidence revealed Isabella had been manipulating rumors for months.
Anonymous messages.
Fake photographs.
False stories sent to the media.
She wanted Marcus to believe Khloe was unstable.
She wanted a divorce.
But there was more.
A hidden agreement.
A document showing Isabella’s plan to secure a position inside Thorne Enterprises after Marcus separated from Khloe.
Harrison stared at the papers.
“She wasn’t in love.”
His voice became cold.
“She wanted power.”
The final piece of evidence arrived that evening.
A recorded conversation.
Isabella’s own voice.
“If Khloe disappears, Marcus will finally see who belongs beside him.”
Marcus listened.
His expression changed.
Not anger.
Not sadness.
Something worse.
Disappointment.
