    As soon as Adrian unlocked the door to his office and walked inside, he shut it behind him. The room felt unbearably hot, despite the air conditioner running. Feeling uncomfortable, he loosened his collar and removed his tie before throwing it onto the floor.He walked around his office desk and threw himself into his chair, allowing himself to close his eyes for a few seconds. However, just as he thought he was about to get some rest, the door to his office flew open. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was none other than Olivia.She slammed the door shut and marched into his office. Adrian could see that her face was flushed with anger, and she could no longer contain her frustration. He watched patiently as Olivia approached his desk and slammed her hands onto its perfectly polished surface.Most people would have been frightened by Olivia's actions, but Adrian remained unmoved. He knew her very well... he knew her like the back of his hand. There was nothing she could do that

    The Beaumont Urban Estate BuildingAdrian’s Office“Well, sir. It seems like this Ms. Olivia is going to be part of the board. I’ve done all the research I can on her and everything comes back clear,” Adrian’s secretary informed him. “She has an excellent record and there’s nothing questionable about her background.”Even as Adrian sat back in his chair, his mind was elsewhere. He wasn’t listening to a single word his secretary was saying. His thoughts were consumed by something else entirely, something he would have preferred not to think about.Very few people knew what Olivia meant to him. He had no intention of revealing their past to anyone, especially not now. If people discovered the history between them, they might begin to understand why he was treating Olivia so harshly. He couldn’t allow that to happen.“Sir? Sir?” It was only then that Adrian snapped out of his thoughts. He finally realized that his secretary had been calling him for quite some time, but he had been too e

    “Oh, is that so? Explain to me what actually happened,” Adrian asked his wife. As she stood there, she could see the anger in his eyes. With every second she remained silent, his expression grew colder and Evelina knew she needed to find a good way to explain herself to her husband. Tim visiting her café was nothing serious. She had only offered him coffee and pastries as an apology.“I know this sounds very weird, but I want to assure you that Tim only came to the café because he was going through a hard time. I offered him nothing other than pastries and coffee. I also wanted to apologize for basically accusing him of being the one who was stalking me,” Evelina explained.However, one look at her husband made it obvious that he did not believe her.“So why is it that he kissed you?” Adrian asked. At that exact moment, Evelina froze. She was about to answer him, but then she remembered how close Tim had leaned toward her. Anyone who had witnessed the scene would have assumed they wer

    Ole CafeAgainst Adrian’s orders, Evelina had chosen to finally start working again. The thought of sitting in their house and doing absolutely nothing drove her crazy and she knew she needed to get out and do something to calm herself.When Evelina walked into the cafe, the employees were happy to see her back. She was equally glad to see that the business was doing much better and attracting more customers. This meant that when Adrian eventually gave her back the cafe, she would not be in debt because the business would be making enough money to pay everyone and keep everything running smoothly.Evelina had quickly thrown herself into work, serving the various customers and ensuring everything was in order. Once things had begun to calm down, she took a seat in one of the chairs in the cafe and closed her eyes for a little while.When she opened them, she found Tim sitting opposite her. Her body stiffened slightly and she was taken by surprise when Tim smiled at her.“Good afternoon

    As soon as Adrian realized that it was his wife standing behind him, he froze, wondering how much of the conversation she had overheard. He quickly turned around, only to find Evelina standing at the top of the stairs. He plastered a smile on his face, hoping she wouldn't suspect anything.“Oh, my love, it's nothing. It was just a call from an investor, that's all,” Adrian lied. Judging by the look on his wife's face, it was evident that she didn't believe him. He needed to make his explanation more convincing before she started asking more questions.“A call from an investor? Isn't it too late at night for them to be calling you?” she asked.“Yes, you're right, my love. It is rather late for an investor to be calling me, but it seems he forgot about the time difference between Chicago and where he is. He apologized for calling me so late,” Adrian explained, knowing deep down that he was lying to her. However, this was the only way he could cover up the lie that could ultimately break

He had always known that his father wanted to get rid of his mother because he had accused her of ruining his marriage, even though he was the one who had initially cheated on his own wife.But never had Adrian thought that his father would have been behind the plot to kill his mother all those years ago. Although Adrian had been young at the time, he could still remember the countless times his mother had narrowly escaped death.Realizing that his son had heard what he had just said, Adrian's father tried to cover it up with another lie.
