I Caught My Husband With My Brother’s New Wife — Then I Discovered Their Betrayal Was Never About Love

Chapter 3

I returned to our house before Daniel.

I expected anger.

Instead, I found something worse.

A locked drawer in his study.

Daniel had always been obsessive about privacy.

I’d never questioned it.

Now I needed to know what was inside.

I found the key hidden beneath an old financial report.

Inside were documents.

Bank statements.

Property transfers.

Emails.

And several contracts between Daniel’s company and a company I had never heard of.

The company belonged to Olivia’s father.

I stared at the dates.

The transfers had started five months before the wedding.

Two months before Olivia met Lucas.

I called Lucas.

“Did Olivia ever mention her father’s business?”

“Not much.”

“Did she know Daniel before you?”

A long pause.

“She said they met at a charity event.”

“Did Daniel know her family?”

“Apparently.”

I looked at the documents.

Something wasn’t right.

This wasn’t random cheating.

Money had been moving between the two families.

And then I found a message.

From Olivia to Daniel.

Once Lucas signs the final papers, everything becomes ours.

My hands went cold.

I read it again.

Everything.

What did that mean?

I sent the screenshot to Lucas.

He called immediately.

“Claire.”

“I know.”

“They weren’t just having an affair.”

“No.”

“They were using me.”

I looked at the documents.

“My husband too.”

Lucas was silent.

Then he said something that changed the entire situation.

“My grandfather’s estate.”

I frowned.

“What about it?”

“Grandpa left the family hotel group to me if I married before thirty.”

I stared at the paperwork.

“How much?”

Lucas whispered:

“Almost two hundred million dollars.”
