My Husband Faked Our Marriage So I Destroyed His Empire Chapter 06
As the plane took off, I sent my lawyer one final message.
“Also, tell Adrian my twentieth IVF transfer never succeeded.”
“The bargaining chip he was so proud of never existed.”
Clouds rolled outside the window. Night faded, and pale dawn spread along the horizon.
Back at the villa, Adrian had finished comforting Chloe and returned home thinking he could still stabilize me.
But when he pushed open the door, he froze.
The house was empty.
There was no trace of life.
My clothes. My mother’s photo. My usual mug. The sheets I slept in.
Everything that belonged to me had vanished, as if I had never lived there at all.
“Evie! Evelyn!”
His voice echoed through the empty villa.
No one answered.
With shaking hands, he used a backup phone to call me.
Only a cold automated message came through.
“The number you have dialed is currently powered off.”
My texts, my messages, all my social accounts were blank to him.
Adrian knew.
I had blocked him.
He immediately sent people to trace my movements.
There was only one result.
Five hours earlier, Evelyn had last appeared at the airport and boarded a private jet.
The jet belonged to the Howard family in France.
My grandfather’s family.
My mother’s family.
My family.
Adrian felt his chest tighten until breathing became difficult.
He remembered something I had once told him when we were in love.
“If you ever hurt me, I’ll leave and make sure you never find me again.”
He clung to a shred of hope, thinking I had only left in anger and would return in a few days.
Then my lawyer called.
“Mr. Whitmore, this is Ms. Evelyn’s attorney. I am formally notifying you that Ms. Shaw has filed suit against you for forging a marriage certificate, marriage fraud, and malicious injury. The complaint has been submitted.”
Adrian went rigid, his face turning white.
“What did you say?”
“Ms. Shaw also asked me to tell you that her twentieth IVF transfer failed. She knows Chloe is carrying your child.”
Boom.
The words exploded over his head like thunder.
The phone slipped from Adrian’s hand and smashed onto the floor, the screen cracking instantly.
She knew?
The fake marriage certificate he had plotted so carefully.
The embryos he had heartlessly destroyed.
The punishment he used against me.
The cage he thought would keep me trapped.
All of it had been meaningless?
He had thought I knew nothing and would raise Chloe’s child as my own for the rest of my life.
He thought I would remain in the dark forever and never leave him.
He thought I could not live without him.
He thought I would be like my mother, swallowing every insult and accepting fate.
But he never imagined I would leave.
And I had known the truth all along.
Panic seized him.
He stumbled backward and slid down the wall.
Regret and agony churned inside him.
Adrian gripped his own hair, and the remorse he had suppressed finally broke loose.
Tears hit the floor.
“Evie, I was wrong… I was so wrong…”
He repeated my name again and again.
He apologized again and again.
But it was too late.
High above the clouds, I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes.
On the ground, everything had already begun to collapse.
Following my instructions, my lawyer released all the evidence online as soon as I boarded.
The forensic report proving the marriage certificate was forged.
The full medical records from twenty IVF cycles, along with proof that Adrian had authorized doctors to terminate my pregnancies and discard embryos.
Surveillance footage from the Shaw family dinner showing Chloe deliberately dragging me down the stairs.
Audio of Chloe privately admitting that she scattered my mother’s ashes.
The complete evidence chain showing how Lydia schemed her way in, drove my mother out, and seized her assets.
Testimony proving that Evelyn’s father abandoned his wife and daughter and enabled it all.
By morning, the internet exploded.
