The Billionaire Hotel Owner Was Forced to Marry a Crime Boss’s Daughter — Then His Ex Came Back,….
Chapter 12
The evidence reached the authorities.
Victor’s network began collapsing.
His associates turned against him.
Accounts were frozen.
Properties were seized.
And eventually, Victor was arrested.
Elena watched from a distance.
She didn’t celebrate.
She simply breathed.
For the first time in her life, she was free.
Adrian stood beside her.
“You okay?”
She nodded.
“I don’t know what I’m supposed to feel.”
“Neither do I.”
She looked at him.
“Your hotel survived.”
“Barely.”
She smiled.
“You’ll rebuild it.”
“Probably.”
Then she looked at him seriously.
“What happens to us now?”
Adrian went quiet.
The marriage contract was almost over.
There was no debt.
No threat.
No reason for them to remain together.
Except one.
Adrian took off his wedding ring.
Elena’s heart sank.
He turned it over in his hand.
“When we started, this ring meant nothing.”
She looked at him.
“It was a contract.”
“Yes.”
He put it back on.
“But now…”
He smiled.
“I don’t want to take it off.”
Elena’s eyes filled with tears.
“Why?”
“Because this time, I’m choosing it.”
