Divorce Failed! My Wife's Secret Identities Shock the World novel Chapter 1053

Declan Fulton, the heir to the Fulton Group, was marrying Nancy Grover, the third daughter of the Grover Group.

The wedding date was set for the sixth.

Not only was it on the exact same day as Andres and Maeve's wedding...

The banquet hall they booked was just one partition away from where Andres was hosting his reception.

"Are you kidding me? Has Declan lost his mind? He's actually marrying Nancy?"

Maeve's good mood from the past few days shattered instantly upon hearing the news.

She immediately called Naomi, only to hear the automated message that the phone was turned off.

"Naomi is in trouble."

As her absolute best friend, Naomi had long been promised the role of bridesmaid at Maeve's wedding.

For Naomi to suffer such a betrayal at this crucial moment was absolutely devastating.

Andres hadn't expected Declan to make such a decision either.

"Knowing Declan, for him to suddenly agree to this, he must have been threatened by his family."

Before this, Maeve had noticed that Declan and Naomi's relationship was fraught with obstacles.

But as long as Declan was willing to fight against his fate, it wasn't impossible for them to have a happy ending.

She hadn't expected it to ultimately come to this.

Seeing Maeve's anxiety over Naomi's safety, Andres gently reassured her.

"Don't worry. I've already had Murray send people to track her down. As long as she's still in Aethelburg, she'll be safe."

Plus, Naomi wasn't some love-struck fool blinded by romance; she wouldn't do anything drastic over a man.

There were plenty of good men in the world.

If Declan wasn't the right one, she could just find someone else.

With Naomi's qualities, she could easily find someone better.

Just as Maeve was in the middle of an angry tirade, Declan's call came through.

The moment she answered, Maeve snapped, "What the hell are you doing?"

Declan's voice was heavy with exhaustion.

"I'm sorry, Miss Vance. I disappointed you this time."

"I'm only calling to ask about Naomi's whereabouts. I haven't been able to reach her since last night."

"Given how things have turned out, Declan was likely forced into a corner."

"Maeve, you might not know this, but Declan's life was bought with his brother's sacrifice."

Maeve looked at Andres in surprise, silently urging him to continue.

She had only ever noticed that Declan's romantic life was destined to be turbulent, but she didn't know much about his past.

Andres had learned of this dark secret within the Fulton family through his own underground networks.

"Declan had a twin brother named Piers Fulton. Back then, Piers was more talented and capable than Declan in every way."

"If not for that accident, the position of the Fulton family heir would never have fallen to Declan."

"Twelve years ago, when Piers and Declan were about fifteen or sixteen..."

"They were in the same car when a horrific accident occurred."

"When they were rushed to the hospital, the doctors said only one of them could be saved, and only if the other donated their organs."

"Naturally, the Fulton family preferred that Piers survive, but his injuries were far more severe than Declan's. The chances of him making it were virtually zero."

"Left with no other choice, the Fulton family gave the right to live to Declan."
