Chapter 4 - The Plan To Take Ellie
The next morning, I stopped being a wife.
I became a strategist.
Daniel gathered every piece of information we had.
Grant’s bank records.
His private meetings.
His communications.
The people he paid.
The people who helped him.
The picture became clearer.
Grant’s plan was simple.
Destroy my reputation.
Remove me from control.
Take Ellie.
Use Ellie’s inheritance rights to gain access to the Kingsley empire.
Because according to my father’s will, Ellie was not just a beneficiary.
She was the future guardian of everything he created.
But there was one thing Grant did not know.
A hidden condition.
My father never trusted easily.
Especially not people who married into the family.
The inheritance could only transfer when Ellie became an adult.
And until then, a protector would control everything.
Someone chosen by my father.
Someone whose identity remained secret.
Daniel looked at me.
“Mara, there is something you need to know.”
“What?”
“Your father chose the protector before he died.”
I stared at him.
“Who?”
Daniel opened another encrypted file.
The screen loaded.
A name appeared.
A name I had never seen before.
My father had created a backup plan.
And the person protecting Ellie was not someone from Kingsley.

It was someone Grant believed was his strongest ally.
Someone inside his own circle.
