Adrian didn’t waste time. He stood up immediately and went straight to his system; his fingers moved across the keyboard, rerouting the attack into a mirrored sandbox. He isolated the IP addresses, tagged them, and fed them false data. Then he sent a single, encrypted ping back to the source.

*You’re knocking on steel. Stop wasting your time*

I leaned against his desk. “They will be surprised you responded.”

“He doesn't know what I'm capable of," Adrian said, leaning back. “He

    Chapter 23:****I could not take my eyes off the laptop screen. My hands slowly rose and covered my mouth."No..."Adrian looked at me immediately. "You know him?"I could not answer him. Not because I refused to. Because I could not believe he was still alive.Adrian stood beside me and looked back at the frozen image. "Who is he?"I stared at the screen for several long seconds before I finally found my voice. "His name is Victor Dorian."Adrian frowned. "I have never heard that name before. Who is he?"""I never wanted you to, because I felt it was in the past."I pulled out the desk chair and sat down slowly, and the memories came rushing back. "Years before I met Ryan, before I even became an Ashford, I worked part-time while trying to finish school. My supervisor was Victor. He looked kind. He spoke gently. He treated everyone well. But he was nothing like the man people believed him to be."Adrian remained silent."He became obsessed with me. He said I belonged to him. When I

    Chapter 22:****Ryan drove through the gates of Ashford Mansion with his knuckles white against the wheel. He left the car running and walked straight into Grace's study without even knocking.Grace looked up from her desk, her expression calm, almost expectant. "You saw Leo.""I saw him," Ryan's voice cracked with anger he could no longer contain. "You are the cause of all these things, Mom. You made me marry a woman who was already into another man, just because you wanted to keep the family's legacy."Grace kept the pen in her hand. "I did what was necessary, Ryan.""Necessary?" Ryan slammed his palm on the desk. "I lost Elena because of you. I lost Halberg because of you. Now I've lost Vanessa, and the son I thought was mine belongs to Leo Thorne. My entire life has been a transaction, and you're the one who caused all of these."Grace stood up slowly, unbothered by his anger. "You want someone to blame. Fine. Blame me for the marriage. But do not blame me for what you did with i

    Chapter 21:****The morning after the bombshell email hit the Ashford family, Ryan was ready to confront Vanessa about what he heard yesterday.He walked into the east wing lounge. Vanessa was seated on a velvet armchair, packing a leather suitcase with slow, deliberate movements. She didn’t look up when he entered.“Tell me it’s a lie,” Ryan demanded. His voice was flat. Vanessa zipped the bag and finally looked at him. “Is that true?" She asked, acting like nothing happened.Ryan stepped closer. “The boy and Leo Thorne. Is it true?"“Yes.” She stood up, smoothing her coat. “I was with Leo long before you ever came into the picture. I married you because of your mother; she really wanted to associate with the Cole family and legacy, and I granted her that without stress.”Ryan’s jaw dropped. “You used my family.”“No! Your family used me.” She corrected. Grace appeared at the top of the stairs. Her face was pale. "I trusted you so much, but you've just ruined everything. You deceive

    Chapter 20: ****I stared at the man across the table, waiting for him to unleash everything he was hiding.He leaned forward; his voice dropped so low. “Aside from the boy not being Ryan’s son, the real father is someone very close to him.” The weight of his words hit me like a freight train. I couldn’t process what I was hearing. “Who?” I asked, still in full control of my expression. "The boy's real father is Leo Thorne, Ryan's business partner. His closest friend. The man he trusted so much and is presently helping Ryan track my movements."I stared at the folder on the table. The secret wasn't just a scandal. It was a weapon. If the Ashford family learned their prized heir carried Leo's bloodline, Ryan's inheritance vanishes. I adjusted my facial expression just a little bit to make him feel I'm not desperate. "Why did you agree to meet up with me in the first place, and why are you betraying Vanessa?""Because Vanessa thinks she's running the game," he said. “But you're in a

  • Divorced At Night, Married By Dawn    The Cold War

    Chapter 19:****Ryan slammed his palm on the desk; he was so furious. This second unauthorized transfer from his account confirmed his worst fears; it's definitely coming from someone who knows him too well, and he was determined to find out who it was. And the only people he believed were responsible were Adrian and me.“Those two are playing a dangerous game,” he muttered, a cold smile creeping on his face. “It’s time to double the stakes." Instantly, he picked up his phone and called his chief investigator. "Meet me in my study, now." He said and hung up.****Later that morning, Adrian’s security chief, Marcus, walked into his office. He carried a single black folder. He placed it on the desk. “The masked man has been identified,” he said.Immediately I heard that, and I stepped closer as Adrian opened the black folder.The photo inside wasn’t a stranger. It was Silas. Adrian’s lead archivist. The man who had managed our private records for four years.I couldn't believe my eyes

  • Divorced At Night, Married By Dawn    The Ultimate Deception

    Chapter 18:****I walked through the front door of the penthouse; the weight of what I had overheard at the hospital was still heavy on my shoulders. My heart was racing with the secret about Vanessa and the little boy. I needed to tell Adrian, but I also needed to find out what he was up to. I took Ashley to his room. Then return to the sitting room.“Adrian?” I called out, but there was no response. I moved through the living room, searching for him. When I found him in the study, busy on his laptop and focused on whatever he was working on. "What happened?" he asked, standing up immediately when when he saw me. “Hey,” I said, trying to sound casual, but my voice trembled slightly.Did something go wrong at the clinic?" Before that... there’s something we need to talk about.” He folded his arms. "Okay."“I overheard you on the phone. Who were you talking to?” I said, my vsteady,teady, but my heart was beating fast.Adrian’s expression changed instantly. “I... I can explain.”“Exp
