Chapter 7 - The Marriage Was Never an AccidentDamien slowly placed an old police file on the table.

Inside...

A faded childhood photograph.

Little Isabella.

Standing beside the ambulance that carried away her father's body.

She gasped.

"How... did you get this?"

Damien's voice remained ice cold.

"I've had it since before our first date."

Another file.

Her school records.

Her college debts.

Her psychiatric evaluations.

Every boyfriend.

Every employer.

Every lawsuit.

Every lie she'd ever told.

Then Damien delivered the truth.

"I didn't marry a stranger."

"I married the woman who tried to get close to my empire."

"You chose me."

"But I chose you first."

Isabella suddenly realized something horrifying.

Even their first "accidental" meeting...

Had been arranged by Damien himself.
