Chapter 5 - The Mother's Betrayal
The absolute, bone-chilling horror freezing the blood in Adrian's veins was completely palpable. He stared at Clara, his brilliant mind desperately, frantically trying to piece together the apocalyptic puzzle she had just dropped on him.
"Who?" Adrian choked out, his voice dropping to a freezing, lethal hiss. "Who paid my security team to keep you away from me?"
"Your mother," Clara stated clinically, entirely devoid of mercy.
Adrian’s jaw literally unhinged. The crushing magnitude of the revelation hit him with the physical force of a massive freight train. All the remaining color violently drained from his face for the second time.
"My mother?" Adrian whispered, shaking his head in absolute, breathtaking denial. "No. That's impossible. My mother loved you!"
"Your mother didn't want a middle-class, working civilian ruining her golden son's elite political and corporate ambitions," Clara explained flawlessly, ensuring he fully understood the absolute, toxic corruption of his own family. "She completely fabricated the entire corporate espionage file. She hired professional hackers to plant the stolen data directly onto my personal laptop. She actively, maliciously framed me to ensure you would violently kick me out of your life without a second thought."
Adrian physically collapsed against his leather seat. The woman who had raised him, the high-society matriarch he had trusted with his entire life, had actively orchestrated the complete destruction of his family.
"And when she found out I was pregnant with the twins," Clara continued, her dark eyes flashing with pure, unfiltered fury, "she didn't just pay your head of security a million dollars to intercept all my certified mail and block my phone number. She sent your elite corporate lawyers directly to my tiny, run-down apartment."
"What did they do?" Adrian wept, completely humiliated in his expensive blue suit.

"They threatened to completely destroy my life," Clara whispered coldly. "They told me that if I ever tried to contact you, your mother would use her massive wealth to declare me mentally unfit, completely bankrupt me in court, and legally take my babies away from me forever."
