Chapter 4: The Man Behind Bianca’s Lies
The caller introduced himself as Daniel Cross.
Bianca’s former partner.
Not romantic.
Business.
Daniel revealed Bianca had done this before.
She targeted wealthy men.
Gained their trust.
Destroyed their families.
Then collected everything.
Julian couldn’t believe it.
“She almost married me.”
Daniel laughed bitterly.
“She almost married you because you were her biggest prize.”
Julian spent the next two days investigating.
And every discovery made him angrier.
Fake documents.
Hidden accounts.
Secret conversations.
But the worst discovery came from the security system.
Julian watched old footage from his mansion.
There was Bianca.
Pushing Martha.
Breaking her medication.
Threatening her.
His mother had been suffering for months.
Julian sat alone in his office.
For the first time in his life...
His money couldn’t fix what happened.
Then Bianca called.
“I know you’re angry.”
Julian stayed silent.
“I still love you.”
He almost laughed.
“You tried to destroy my mother.”
“No.”
Her voice became colder.
“I tried to protect my future.”
Julian looked at the screen.
“Your future is over.”
Bianca smiled.
“No, Julian.”
A pause.
“Your future is the thing I’m about to take away.”
Then she sent him a picture.
A picture of Martha.
