Chapter 5 - THE BRIDE WHO WANTED EVERYTHING
Madison Hayes had grown up believing the world belonged to her family.
Her father owned a powerful law firm.
Her mother chaired charity boards.
And Madison had never been told no without someone eventually apologizing.
Marrying Derek was supposed to complete the picture.
Handsome lawyer.
Prestigious wedding.
Perfect photographs.
Then Victor Roman had called Harper his wife.
And suddenly, Madison's wedding became a story about someone else.
She was furious.
Derek was humiliated.
Graham was worried.
Because Graham knew something his daughter didn't.
Victor Roman's investment company had recently acquired a controlling interest in a business connected to Sterling Medical Distribution.
And Harper worked inside Sterling's financial department.
She had access to invoices.
Payment records.
Vendor contracts.
And discrepancies that Graham had spent months trying to keep out of court.
Madison confronted her father the following morning.
“Why is everyone so afraid of Victor?”
Graham looked at her.
“Because he doesn't bluff.”
Madison folded her arms.
“And Harper?”

Graham's expression darkened.
“Harper may be more dangerous than Victor realizes.”
