Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1034

"One day, when my mom wasn't looking, he literally gave my brother away like a piece of unwanted luggage."

Andres was floored.

What kind of twisted logic drove Julian Reed to abandon his own son?

Every time Maeve thought about this part of her family history, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Titus was brought back eventually, of course, but my mom went absolutely ballistic."

"That triggered a brutal, ongoing war between them."

"After that, all she thought about was taking my brother and running away. She tried several times, but my dad always hunted them down and dragged them back."

"His psychological issues only worsened. His obsession morphed into severe separation anxiety; he couldn't stand being away from her for a single second."

"Trapped in that suffocating environment, my mom spiraled into severe depression."

"That toxic cycle of fighting and capturing dragged on for seven agonizing years."

"When Titus was seven, she finally reached her breaking point."

"My dad had taken her along on a business trip out of town, and she finally managed to escape for good."

"You can probably guess why he forced her to tag along on business trips."

It was the kind of twisted, consuming madness born of an intense obsession.

But the Julian Reed of that era didn't have a clue what real love meant.

His world was ruled by dominance and possession. Concepts like marriage, family, or genuine romance meant absolutely nothing to him.

"While on the run, she bumped into Luka Morales."

"Luka was the total opposite of my dad. Back then, he was charismatic, charming, and knew exactly how to sweep a girl off her feet."

"Having spent her entire life under my dad's tyrannical thumb, meeting a guy like Luka felt like a breath of fresh air."

"They were just pawns Isla used to manipulate her way into marrying him."

"I know what you're thinking. If I'm not a Morales, why did I fight him for the assets?"

"Because everything I took from him rightfully belonged to my mom in the first place."

"The Morales family only owned a tiny, struggling restaurant back then. It was my mom's sleepless nights and original recipes that transformed them into Aethelburg's elite."

"And The Quiet Garden was purchased with her own hard-earned money and put under my name."

"After she divorced Luka, she took me up North."

"She remembered her childhood home was somewhere up North, meaning she was likely trafficked when she was young."

"Even then, she still blindly believed I was a Morales. She never doubted my paternity."

"When I was three, my dad finally tracked us down."
