Curtis divorcing you is only a matter of time ." Danielle was certain that Curtis would dump Adriana soon enough . " How long does your contract marriage with Curtis last ? Until Harold / dies ? " Danielle asked casually . She already had a pretty good idea of the answer . Adriana took a steadying breath but didn't respond . " Let's make a little wager . It won't even last that long . Within two weeks , Harold will make Curtis divorce you . Want to bet on it ? " Danielle spoke confidently . Her smugness made Adriana's stomach tighten . Two weeks ?

" Adriana , the man who tried to kill you confessed . He said he's the one who abandoned you at the orphanage years ago . " Adriana froze . " He ... he left me there ? " " Yeah . He admitted it . Said he should've killed you then but didn't .

Now he believes if he doesn't finish the job , he'll die himself . " Joe's voice carried deep concern . It was clear something about Adriana's past wasn't normal . " Did he mention anything else ?
