Chapter 10 - The Prosecutor Who Had Protected Vesper Kidnapped Me Because He Knew the One Thing Dominic Could Never Give HimVictor kidnapped me three days later.
I woke in an abandoned warehouse.
He wanted the final code.
I refused.
He threatened Dominic.
I still refused.
Then he told me something terrifying.
He knew about my father's death.
My mother.
The debt.
Everything.
He had engineered my father's bankruptcy.
That was why I had needed Dominic's money.
The marriage had been planned from the beginning.
I almost broke.
Then I remembered something.
The scar.
The Vesper symbol.
Victor wanted the code.
But the code was no longer inside Dominic.
We had destroyed it.
He didn't know.
I lied.
I told him I could access it.
He believed me.
That gave Dominic time.
He found me.
The rescue was violent.
Victor died trying to escape.
I survived.
When Dominic found me, he held me so tightly I could barely breathe.
"I thought I lost you."
I touched his face.
"You didn't."
He kissed me.
And for the first time, our marriage felt real.
Not arranged.
