last update publish date: 2026-04-06 21:14:50

I had watched the whole thing from a distance.

Dominic and Adrian, squared off in that corridor, both of them too focused on each other to notice much else around them.

The tension between them had been visible from twenty feet away, the kind that did not need raised voices to be understood. Two men who had decided they were on opposite sides of the same woman, and neither of them willing to move.

I had stood at the far end of the corridor and watched and thought carefully.

    “There are many other secrets that have been exposed to me, and I'm going to tell them to you, but pending the arrival of the right time to say it, maintain your positive energy.” Adrian sent me a message as soon as he left my office. The words he spoke to me while he was inside my office was quite similar to the text message he sent. Why exactly was he trying to remind me about my ignorance to rest of the information on the case that led to the death of my parents? Despite his advice to me to maintain my positive energy, I couldn't fall asleep. I turned off the lights, but that didn't help much. I closed my eyes, hugged my pillows and rolled in bed but it didn't make me fall asleep. The fact that there are many other secrets that Dominic is hiding from me continued to trouble my mind so much that I left my room to be in the living room. I turned on the TV to watch a midnight show, maybe that will help resolve the tension in my head. I'd already promised to trust Adrian’s words. E

  • Brother's Best Friend Is My Child's Father    Chapter 152 Dominic's Pov

    As I stepped out of the shower room, my eyes fell on the wall clock in a close distance to me. It was exactly 5pm. I worked for about seven hours today before giving a flimsy excuse to be home. I had to be inside my room to be able to gather my thoughts together. The report I received from my men shortly before I left my office, was capable of causing heart ache, but I proved more stubborn than the trouble Adrian was causing. He must have been born by troublesome parents. If that was not the case, why the hell was he so keen on knowing my past? Why was he trying to make Elena hate me after realizing what my family did to her own family in the past? No matter what he said to her, the dead man would not wake up. Why then should he be so worried about causing discord between Elena and I? Could he be dumb enough to think he can replace my role in her life? “After careful review, we can now say for sure that Adrian is digging out more information about your past. He wants to gather the

    I walked into the hallway with files in my hands, glancing at every corner to spot any suspicious movement. It seemed like the creepies hadn't woken up yet to begin their creepy moves for the day. Moving from the reception to my office was totally safe. Almost everyone that walked past me wore a smile on their faces, and infact, I didn't see any new face till I reached my office. I locked the door to my office as soon as I entered, and then I dropped the files on the table. The computer system on my office table was a bit dusty, making me wonder if I'd been away for too long. It hasn't even been twelve hours since I returned home last night. Even though I was quick to ignore that so I could focus on accomplishing the tasks for the day, it wasn't the same story for what happened to me last night when I tried to retrieve the interesting novel from my car. The silhouette in the distance was still visible in my imagination, and I had already given up trying to erase it. Because the ha

    “It happened in the blink of an eye. We spotted a figure in the distance to Elena, and of course, she was terrified when she saw it too.” One of my men said to me over the phone. “We have already visited her to calm her thoughts and assure her that security operations are still as tight as ever, but she seems to be readier than ever to fight what is coming for her.”“You visited her in her apartment?”“Not exactly.” He said. “Two of us spoke to her while she was in her car, about to go to her workplace. She appreciated it, though I am not sure if she knows we are working for you.”“The two people who paid her that visit must be new faces then.” I concluded. “Elena knows most of the faces of the people who work for me. Albeit, it's a good move. You guys did well, but there is a need for an improvement. Such an incident should not happen again.”“It won't.” He said, cutting into my words. “At your command, we have already mobilized five secret watchers to lurk around her apartment and i

    As soon as I arrived at my apartment, I chose to wait for a few more minutes inside my car. Perhaps someone was already hiding at some corners, waiting for me to get down and surrender to them. Yeah, the security men were active and ready to waste anyone sneaking into this place with a weapon, but the last time an attack nearly happened, they were also gallant. I had to keep a strict eye on the path ahead of me despite anyone claiming to be able to keep me safe. Distracting my mind by turning on the TV and watching a show, or cuddling Maya and whispering sweet words into her ear, always seemed to be the best way to keep the thoughts out of my head. But they could turn out to be hazardous as well. Being distracted could keep me off guard. I could have opened the door after hearing the doorbell ring before realizing the risk of doing so. “Maya,” I called her name gently as I cuddled her into my arms. Her eyes looked tired and stressed. She must have been waiting for me to be home. It

    As I carefully reviewed the feedback on the previous case my team handled, the shrill ring of my phone caught me off guard as my gaze went in the direction. I heaved a deep breath as I picked it up from the table. Staring at the screen, I saw the name of the caller. It was a member of my team. They definitely had another feedback to share with me. How quick this was. “Hello.” I said, clicking on the loudspeaker button as I placed the phone on the table. “What's the update?”“It is now confirmed that someone is watching Elena,” he said. “We saw some new faces moving suspiciously towards the corridor that leads to her office. I think the number of people coming after her is increasing already.”I heaved a deep breath as I dropped the pen in my hand gently on the table. “What measures have you taken so far, to tackle this new threat?”“The hospital claims that they recently hired members to join their staff.” He responded. “Although that's correct, we can't say for sure if a new face i

    The dinner was at the Meridian, which meant the usual crowd.Old money and new money in the same room, pretending they had always been comfortable with each other. Hospital directors and research heads sitting alongside the kind of businessmen who wrote cheques large enough to put their names on b

    The drive back was quiet.Not the comfortable kind of quiet that sometimes settled between Elena and me after a long evening. This was the kind that had weight to it. She was sitting in the passenger seat with her face turned toward the window and her bag in her lap and her hands folded over it,

    I was at the hospital by seven thirty.Not because my shift started that early. It started at nine. But the apartment had felt too small that morning and Maya had still been asleep and I had not wanted to sit at the kitchen table with my thoughts for another hour and a half, so I had dressed quiet

    The three of us were standing in a triangle and the space between us felt very small.The sponsor had already quietly removed himself, which I was grateful for, because the tension coming off both Adrian and Dominic was enough to manage without adding a third person to it.
