The Wife He Underestimated Chapter 04 Marcus woke at dawn to the sound of waves crashing against the shore.  Victoria was still asleep in the guest room. He’d spent half the night ensuring the perimeter was secure, making calls to his security team, checking  threat assessments. The competitors who’d attacked them were still out there,

The Wife He Underestimated Chapter 03 The next morning, my home was invaded. I was sitting at the dining table drinking coffee when the elevator doors dinged open. Two security personnel emerged first, carrying suitcases and garment bags. Victoria followed behind them. She wore a pale dress, her face wan as if she’d just escaped

The Wife He Underestimated Chapter 02 By the time the car delivered me back to the penthouse, night had fallen.
