Chapter 8

Author: Quinn Woods
Julian crushed the divorce agreement and threw it into the trash. "Liv, you are going to explain this today. You still love me. You're only angry, right? I refuse to accept this divorce. You can't leave me."

Tessa finally snapped and dragged at his arm. "Julian Carver, are you out of your mind? Have some self-respect. You're divorced. Come with me!"

The door locked behind them. Adrian leaned against it, perfectly calm.

"Do you think Sterling property is a public lobby where anyone can walk in

    "Of course. I took a huge risk arranging her abduction. If I don't play the hero soon, someone else will find her. We have to move."You'll have to tolerate one thing. We need to keep our distance in public, understand? Otherwise, I won't be able to seduce her. Once she falls for me and I control her family connections, I'll bring you into my life openly.""Fine, Julian. But promise you'll never touch her. If you do, I'll expose everything we did today.""Obviously. After what those men did to her, I'd feel filthy touching her."Julian stared at me in horror. "Liv, how did you get that? We had that conversation inside a car that was later scrapped. No one could possibly have known..."I smiled faintly. "I'm Mrs. Sterling now. There's very little I can't uncover."With red-rimmed eyes, Julian dropped to one knee. "Liv, I was wrong. Maybe I had selfish motives in the beginning, but my feelings during these three years were real. I truly fell in love with you."Tessa secretly inter

    Adrian wiped his shoe with disgust. "What made you think being a woman made you untouchable?"Once Tessa no longer dared to speak, he threw a thick file in front of them."I originally went undercover at your company only so I could stay close enough to protect Liv. I didn't expect you to make my work so easy. A basic audit uncovered embezzlement, money laundering, and fraudulent books. The fake ledgers were almost impressive, I'll give you that."Since you came all this way, consider this my hospitality. I've arranged a room for both of you in federal custody."Julian panicked when law-enforcement officers entered."Adrian Sterling, you can't arrest me. You stole my wife, destroyed my company, and now you're sending me to prison? I'll remember this. You think the Carver family has no power?"Adrian did not bother looking up. He motioned for the officers to take Julian and Tessa away.I had never imagined he would do so much for me. To protect me, he had willingly entered Julian

Adrian leaned against it, perfectly calm."Do you think Sterling property is a public lobby where anyone can walk in and out?"You've had enough time reminiscing with my wife. Is it my turn to speak?"Adrian crossed the room on long strides, smoothed the wrinkles from my blanket, and gently tucked my hair behind my ear."I picked up rice pudding on my way back from work. It used to be your favorite."Only after he saw me eating did Adrian slowly remove his suit jacket and sunglasses.Julian's eyes widened. "You... you're Adrian Sterling? Weren't you my driver?"Julian frowned in irritation. "So it reall

    He closed his eyes like a man facing execution, grabbed my hand, and tried to slap himself with it.I pulled free. "Forget it."After three years of marriage, I had nearly died before my husband finally granted me the privilege of touching his face. How ridiculous.Forget it. He disgusted me. He was the filthy one.Julian was about to speak when his assistant rushed in. "Mr. Carver, it's over. Sterling Group canceled every agreement with us, and our cash flow has collapsed. They just held a press conference and announced that any company continuing to work with us will be barred from future Sterling contracts. Our investors are pulling out. We're headed for bankruptcy.""What?"Tessa reacted even faster than Julian. She grabbed the assistant by the collar. "Explain yourself. Julian is rich. He said just days ago that the company was opening another division. How can it suddenly be bankrupt?"Of course Tessa panicked. Julian had promised to make her president of that new division

    Only now did I understand. I was the only person he despised. Every explanation had been an excuse designed to hide his disgust.When Adrian noticed me slowing down, he touched the back of his hand to my forehead. Once he confirmed the fever was gone, he lightly tapped my brow. "No wandering thoughts while you eat. Focus on your food."When I still paused after every sip, he took my bowl and tasted the soup himself. He frowned. "I knew it. It changed once it cooled. Don't drink this one. I'll get you a fresh bowl."I nodded obediently, almost like the sheltered young woman I had been five years earlier.Adrian went to the office to handle several matters while I remained in the hospital reading Sterling Group project proposals.My family never allowed me any meaningful role in Monroe Enterprises. Adrian wanted me to have something of my own, so he proposed giving me equity in Sterling Group and appointing me president of one of its subsidiaries. I used my recovery time to study th

    When I woke again, I had been transferred to a private hospital. Adrian Sterling sat beside me, dark shadows beneath his eyes.My voice came out hoarse. "Why are you here?"He answered softly, "Your message felt wrong. I tracked your phone without permission and saw that you were at a hospital. I was afraid something had happened, so I came straight here. Thank God I arrived in time..."Adrian's eyes reddened as he spoke. A broad, six-foot-two man pressed his cheek against the back of my hand, looking as vulnerable as a child."Liv, you terrified me. I had only just gotten you back. I thought... I thought I was going to lose you again."I forced a smile as I felt the weakness of a body that had nearly died. "You won't. This time, I'm going to take better care of myself."Adrian did not have the courage to tell me that the baby had not survived.But after everything my body had endured, I already knew. The pregnancy had begun as an accident built on lies. Even if the child had li
