Whimpering, my eyes followed the click sound of the pen in his hand, and he laughed and pocketed it when he saw the direction my eyes had gone. "There's no need to be scared, little girl. I'll make sure you don't remember anything." I shuddered and fingered the pen, the same one I'd just seen in my memory, when the sound of footstep alerted me I was about to be found out. ***************************************************************************************** I married my father's suspected killer. I planned to expose him and get my revenge, not fall for him. Danielle Morgan is obsessed with one mission: to catch the man who murdered her father. Her investigation points to Jonathan Carter, a powerful CEO with secrets as cold as his smile. To uncover the truth, Danielle does the unthinkable: she marries him. But Jonathan isn't just hiding a dark past, he's hiding behind a wall even she can't seem to break. As danger closes in, Danielle must choose between justice and a love she never expected. What happens when the hunter falls for her prey? A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance filled with lies, passion, and deadly secrets.

Married to my Suspect Chapter 1 DANIELLE

DANIELLE'S POV

I closed the file I'd been ordered to organize earlier that morning and stood up, stretching my back and groaning from sitting for too long. I knocked on my boss's office, and when there was no response, strange since I hadn't noticed him going out, I opened the office and entered. I was just going to drop the file and come right out, I told myself.

After the day I'd been interviewed, this was the first time I was entering his office when he wasn't in, and even though it wasn't my first time in it, it was still so unfamiliar. His words came back to me. ''I respect privacy, both mine and yours, so I'll try not to invade your space, and you shouldn't invade mine either. Just do the things I tell you to, and we will be fine."

I scoffed at his words. Which secretary was banned from entering her boss's office anyway? Since I was inside already, I was going to make the best of it.

I checked through the window, and seeing no sign of my boss, I walked deeper into the office, taking note of the neatness and organization. He must be a neat freak, since no one else was allowed into his office; I held that for future reference. I'd been working for my boss for over three months, and still knew nothing about him-not really an oddity in my life since I didn't make it a habit of mine to get close to people I got to know corporately, but my nosiness wasn't letting me settle for that.

He was the handsomest man I'd ever seen; I didn't care that handsomest wasn't a word. It was what I chose to describe him as. He was tall with gorgeous blue eyes, a bit too young to be in his position in my opinion, and way too quiet. Other than greetings when he arrived and demands he needed, which was mainly done through the intercom, I'd never seen him talking to anybody else, not on the phone and not physically, which made me very curious about what kind of man he was.

I briefly glanced through his table and moved towards the organized folder cabinet, but suddenly turned back towards the table. That couldn't be.

Sure enough, I picked up the beautiful green and golden fountain pen that had been next to the remote on the table, my eyes blurring at the influx of memory.

I could hear Daddy screaming, a sound I had never heard before, and it was suddenly cut off.

The man came closer and squatted in front of me, my eyes meeting his masked one.

"And who do we have here?" He asked, caressing my cheek.

Whimpering, my eyes followed the click sound of the pen in his hand, and he laughed and pocketed it when he saw the direction my eyes had gone.

"There's no need to be scared, little girl. I'll make sure you don't remember anything."

He grabbed my hair, which Daddy had carefully packed for me with my favorite bow, and the bow fell and broke. He released my hair, patted it, then bent and picked the bow up.

"What do we have here? How beautiful."

That was the last thing I heard and saw before Mummy's screams woke me up. The man was gone, but Daddy's body was still where it was, and he was just staring at me. My eyes recognized the blood, and I passed out again.

I shuddered and fingered the pen, seemingly the same one I'd just seen in my memory, when the sound of a footstep alerted me I was about to be found out.

I contemplated remaining in position and confirming where he had gotten the pen since I'd searched around the world, almost, and found nothing like it, not since that fateful day, but my courage failed me. I hid under his desk, realizing what a stupid mistake I had chosen to make as I watched his expensive shoes enter the office and start towards me, and I stopped breathing.

"I'll come and see you guys soon, I promise. Relay that to dad as well."

Was that my boss's voice? It couldn't have been because I'd obviously heard the smile in his voice, something I didn't think he was capable of, as he always had a frown on his face. Not even when there was something to congratulate in the office, something we'd been experiencing fairly well. Was he talking to his family?

That question was answered as a feminine, mature voice laughed. His phone was on speaker.

"You have to. I've missed your face, and that's not healthy for me as your mother." The voice paused. "And bring your wife or partner along."

I started shaking as he stopped right in front of his table. Any further step forward, and he would see me.

"If I'm coming, I'm coming alone." He replied. "I thought we had an agreement."

The woman paused and cleared her throat. "That was before.... that happened. You're the only one I have now."

I felt the entire atmosphere tense, the tension coming from the man feeling the office. "I'll see what I can do." He replied, and I began praying, tears almost sliding down my cheeks in fear. I should have just stayed calm and confronted him rather than participating in this suicide mission. Or I shouldn't have entered his office in the first place after I'd realized he wasn't in.

My phone started ringing from my desk outside, and I tensed even further, if that was possible, waiting to get caught and planning the best way to react and apologize and hope he understood. As if that was going to be possible. No reasonable person entered their boss's office after warnings not to, and even if they did, I was sure it would be his first time seeing a secretary hiding under his table. I was definitely going to get fired after this.

"Sounds like you need to get the phone." He said, cutting her off as she started speaking, and he dropped the call. I started coming out when he remained frozen in place. Had he seen me and was waiting for me to stop embarrassing myself?

Just before I came out, I heard him leave the office, and I remained where I was. I peeked out to confirm he had actually left and took my first breath since he entered the office, wiping my sweat.

Taking one last look at the pen, I tiptoed out of the office and melted into my chair. That had taken almost ten years off my life.

I tried to get back to work but couldn't get the pen out of my mind. I had to ask him, but I doubted I was ready to hear the answer. There was no way that pen didn't mean what I thought it did. I'd searched through all means I'd managed to find, but there had been no trace of that pen anywhere.

"Can't you just let it go and let him rest in peace? It's been years, and I hate the fact that you're still torturing yourself." I shook my head to remove my mom's words to me during her last visit when she'd seen the case files I'd been unable to hide well. I couldn't let him go to rest. I was going to find whoever was responsible and make them regret what they had done. How would I be able to live with myself if I couldn't do even that?

JONATHAN'S POV

I needed to clear my mind, and going for a drive seemed the best option right now. I'd inputted the floor for the garage when I realized I'd forgotten to grab my keys from my office.

I punched the elevator wall in frustration and changed the floor to the gym. Punching a few bags would calm down the raging flood in me a little. Something that always occurred whenever Ethan was mentioned or referred to.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.
