I Decided to Surprise My Wife at the Airport Pickup — Then She Walked Out Holding Another Man’s Hand
Chapter 10
Ethan felt betrayed again.
His mother explained everything.
Years ago, she had worked as an accountant for Victor Lang.
She discovered the network and tried to expose it.
Instead, Victor threatened her family.
Ethan’s father joined her.
Together, they secretly built evidence.
But someone betrayed them.
Arthur Whitmore.
The man Ethan had once considered his father’s closest friend.
Arthur had sold the information to Victor.
The entire operation became a trap.
Ethan’s parents eventually escaped.
But they knew Victor would never stop looking.
So they hid the evidence.
Then Ethan grew up.
He married Olivia.
And unknowingly became the person who could inherit the evidence.
Ethan asked:
“Why did you disappear?”
His mother looked down.
“Because they found me.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because I wanted you to have one normal life.”
Ethan laughed.
“Normal?”
He looked at Olivia.
“We’ve never had one.”
Olivia stepped closer.
“You still can.”
Then the lights went out.
A car crashed through the garage door.
Men entered.
Nathan fired.
Ethan grabbed the drive.
They ran through the back door.
His mother was taken.
Ethan screamed.
“Mom!”
Olivia grabbed him.
“We have to go.”
“No!”
“She’ll be killed if we stay.”
Ethan stopped.
They escaped through the alley.
Behind them, the house burned.
Everything Ethan had ever known disappeared in flames.
But he still had the drive.
And now he knew who was responsible.
Arthur Whitmore.
