Chapter 5 - My Brother Tried to Betray Victor for Money—But the Message He Sent Me Revealed That My Wife Was the Real TargetMichael contacted me secretly.
He wanted protection.
He claimed Victor was planning to kill him.
I agreed to meet him.
He arrived terrified.
Victor wanted the ledger.
But Michael had discovered something worse.
Victor wasn't interested in the money.
He wanted control of the Kane organization.
And Emma was standing in the way.
Why?
Because my father had legally transferred ownership of a major portion of the empire to Emma.
I had never known.
My father had believed Emma was the only person I trusted completely.
So he had placed shares in her name.
If Emma died, control would transfer to a trust.
Victor couldn't access it.
But if Emma signed away her rights...
everything would belong to him.
That's why they had spent five years destroying her confidence.
They wanted her to believe she was worthless.
Dependent.
Unwanted.
Then they planned to make her sign.
Michael gave me a document.
"She was supposed to sign tomorrow."
I looked at the paper.
My blood ran cold.
The signature line was already prepared.
I called Emma.
"Don't sign anything."
She became quiet.
"What happened?"
"I'll explain when I get home."
"Alex?"
"Yes?"
"I love you."
I closed my eyes.
"I love you too."
That night, I moved her to a secure property.
For the first time in five years, we slept under the same roof.
But neither of us slept.
Because Victor had made one mistake.
