Married to my Ruthless CEO for one night

Chapter 7: The Truth

Tomorrow came too fast.

I woke up to my phone blowing up.

100 messages. 50 missed calls.

And one headline:

`BILLIONAIRE ADRIAN COLE MARRIES DAUGHTER OF HIS RIVAL`

Photos. Of me. Of my father.

Of the company he destroyed 10 years ago.

My secret was out.

I ran to his penthouse. The doors opened before I knocked.

Adrian was standing there. No suit. Just a white shirt. Eyes red.

Like he hadn't slept.

"Is it true?" he asked. His voice was empty.

I couldn't breathe. "Adrian, let me explain--"

"My father lost everything because of your father." He took a step toward me. "And you married me for revenge."

"It wasn't like that." Tears fell. "At first. But then--"

"But then what?" He laughed. But it wasn't a laugh. "You fell for me? The contract says no feelings."

I flinched. "I know."

"Do you?" He was in front of me now. So close. "Because I was starting to."

My heart shattered.

"Adrian, I didn't leak the files. I swear. Someone's using me to hurt you."

He stared at me. For a long time.

Then he pulled something from his pocket. The contract.

He ripped it in half.

"Contract's over," he said. "Get out."

The words hit harder than any slap.

I turned. Walked to the door.

My hand on the knob.

"Wait."

I froze.

"Pack your things," he said behind me. "You're not leaving. Not until I find out who framed you."

He didn't trust me.

But he wasn't letting me go.
