BORROWED WIFE STOLEN HEART Late Night Questions
Lina was halfway through folding laundry in her room when the knock came — sharp and impatient.She opened the door to find Adrian standing there, still in his dress shirt from the day, sleeves rolled up.“It’s almost midnight,” he said. “Why are you still up?”Lina stepped aside so he could see the pile of clothes. “Couldn’t sleep. Figured I’d do something useful instead of staring at the ceiling.”Adrian walked in without asking, eyes scanning the room before settling on her. “You’ve been quiet since you got back from the hospital. Sit down.”She sat on the edge of the bed. “I’m fine. Just tired.”Adrian remained standing. “You say that a lot lately. ‘Fine.’ ‘Tired.’ Yet every time you come back from seeing your brother, you look like you’re carrying something heavy.”Lina looked down at her hands. “He’s getting worse. The nurses said he asked for me three times today while I was gone. It’s hard hearing that and then coming back here to play perfect wife.”Adrian crossed his arms. “
BORROWED WIFE STOLEN HEART The Hospital Call
Lina’s phone rang loudly on the nightstand at 6:45 AM, jolting her awake.She grabbed it fast, heart already racing when she saw the hospital number.“Hello? Is he okay?”The nurse’s voice was calm but serious. “Lina, it’s Nurse Rachel. Your brother had a rough night. His oxygen levels dropped again. The doctor wants to move the treatment start date up, but we need your signature today. In person. Can you come now?”Lina sat up quickly. “Yes. I’ll be there as fast as I can.”She threw on jeans and a sweater and rushed into the living room.Adrian was already dressed, drinking coffee by the windows. He turned when he heard her footsteps.“What’s wrong?” he asked, eyes narrowing.Lina stopped a few feet away, breathless. “It’s my brother. He had a bad night. The hospital needs me there right now to sign papers so they can start the treatment earlier. I have to go.”Adrian set his cup down slowly. “No. Not today. We have the lawyers’ dinner at seven. You need to rest and prepare.”Lina s
BORROWED WIFE STOLEN HEART Midnight Rules
Lina couldn’t sleep. She slipped out of bed at 1:17 AM and padded barefoot into the living room, hoping the city lights would calm her racing mind.She froze when she saw Adrian already sitting on the couch in the dark, a glass of whiskey in his hand, staring at the glowing skyline.“You’re still awake,” she said softly.Adrian didn’t turn around. “So are you. Sit.”Lina hesitated, then sat on the opposite end of the couch, pulling her knees up. “I keep thinking about my brother. The doctor called earlier while you were in a meeting. His pain is getting worse. They want to start the treatment sooner.”Adrian took a slow sip. “And?”“And I told them yes, obviously.” She rubbed her arms. “But they need another signature from me tomorrow morning at the hospital. In person.”Adrian finally looked at her. “No. You’re not going. Send the signature digitally.”Lina’s voice sharpened. “It’s not that simple. They need me there to confirm some details. He’s scared, Adrian. I can’t just tell him
BORROWED WIFE STOLEN HEART The Gala Tension
Lina stood in front of the mirror in the deep blue gala gown, turning slowly.Sophia adjusted the strap. “It looks perfect on you. Elegant but not too flashy.”Lina stared at her reflection. “I look like someone else. Someone who belongs in this world.”Sophia smiled gently. “You do belong for now. Mr. Korr is waiting in the living room.”Lina took a deep breath and walked out.Adrian was adjusting his cufflinks in a black tuxedo. He looked up when she entered.“The dress works,” he said. “You look the part.”Lina smoothed the fabric. “The part. That’s all I am tonight, right? The perfect wife.”Adrian offered his arm. “Exactly. Let’s go.”The car ride to the gala was quiet. Lina stared out the window while Adrian checked his phone.When they arrived, cameras flashed immediately. Adrian placed his hand on her lower back and guided her inside.“Smile,” he whispered. “Stay close.”Inside the ballroom, people turned to look. A couple approached them quickly.“Adrian! Good to see you. And
BORROWED WIFE STOLEN HEART The Quiet Tension
Lina walked into the living room the next morning, her hair still damp from the shower.Adrian was standing by the windows, phone to his ear. He ended the call the moment he saw her.“You’re up early,” he said. “Good. We have a problem.”Lina stopped halfway across the room. “A problem? What happened?”Adrian slipped his phone into his pocket. “The lawyers just called. They want proof of domestic stability. Photos of us having breakfast together, looking relaxed. Sophia is coming in thirty minutes to set it up.”Lina crossed her arms. “Photos of us having breakfast? Like we’re playing happy family for the camera?”“Exactly.” Adrian walked toward the dining table. “Sit down. We’ll practice looking natural before she arrives.”Lina sat across from him, tension tight in her shoulders. “Natural. Right. Because nothing about this feels natural.”Adrian poured coffee for both of them. “You need to relax your face. You look like you’re about to argue with me.”“I might argue,” she muttered,
BORROWED WIFE STOLEN HEART The Lunch
Lina adjusted the cream blouse one last time in front of the mirror and stepped out of her room.Adrian was waiting near the elevator, checking his watch. “ The car is downstairs.”She walked over, smoothing her hands down the black pants. “Do I look okay? I feel like I’m going to a job interview instead of lunch.”Adrian gave her a quick once-over. “You look acceptable. Remember the rules. Stay close. Smile when people look at us. Answer questions with short, positive replies. Nothing more.”Lina nodded and followed him into the elevator. “Short and positive. I’ve been practicing that in my head all morning.”The ride down was quiet. As they stepped into the car, Adrian spoke again.“Today’s lunch is with potential business partners. They need to see a stable couple. Touch my arm naturally if someone takes a photo. Don’t pull away.”Lina stared out the window. “Touch your arm. Act happy. Got it. This feels like a performance every single time we leave the penthouse.”“It is a perform
