Adrian POV

The familiar route that led to the Cruz Villa, one of my properties and the most expensive building in the whole of Michigan, came into view immediately as my driver turned the corner into the deserted street that led to the compound.

My compound.

A faint smile touched my lips as I took in the view.

Seven years ago, this place used to be nothing but dust and dry grass, and I could still remember when I used to walk across it with worn-out shoes and empty pockets, sweat sticking to my

    Adrian POVThe familiar route that led to the Cruz Villa, one of my properties and the most expensive building in the whole of Michigan, came into view immediately as my driver turned the corner into the deserted street that led to the compound.My compound.A faint smile touched my lips as I took in the view.Seven years ago, this place used to be nothing but dust and dry grass, and I could still remember when I used to walk across it with worn-out shoes and empty pockets, sweat sticking to my back, my stomach tight from hunger.Now the entire land belonged to me.My fingers tapped lightly against my thigh as I stared harder at the land through the window, my chest rising slowly.Every inch of it. From the brick walls to the guarded gates. All of it belonged to me. Built from nothing but blood, sweat, sleepless nights, and sacrifices I didn’t like remembering.Funny how life works.Because people look at me today and all they see is money, power, and fame. They think I was born into

    Beverly POVAdrian Cruz.The name didn't just click in my head.It slammed into me. Like something sharp and cold pressed against the back of my skull.For a second I couldn't breathe as I stared at the man who stood a few feet ahead of me with his back slightly turned to me.The morning sun fell directly on him glistening his jet black hair and alighting the side of his face which I could see from where I stood.My pulse began to pound in my ears.No.It couldn't be.But it was.My fingers slowly curled at my sides until my nails bit into my palm. I barely felt the sting. My insides tightened too, twisting in a way that made me slightly nauseous. Not excitement. Not nostalgia.Something darker.Years had passed. Seven long years since I left this city. Ten since everything fell apart.Yet Adrian Cruz wasn't a face I could forget.Not after what he did.Not after the blood.Not after Mariam.My throat tightened at the memory of her name.Mariam Hawthorne.Marcus’s mother literally my

    Next MorningBeverly POVI couldn’t sleep the previous night. How could I, when I had been told a piece of news so heart shattering it felt like my chest had been torn open and left bleeding?How could I, when I just found out that some anonymous people had paid her to keep shut on the truth about my son allowing me to wallow in lies for years because obviously they killed him and they didn't want the world to know.So all through the night, I sat by the window, unmoving, staring at the few pictures I had of Tristan it was the only thing I could do not to over think myself to death.They were pictures from when he was still a baby. One when he was barely one, chubby and smiling with his tiny fingers wrapped around mine. The last one from his second birthday, cake frosting smeared on his cheeks, eyes bright and innocent, shining with excitement he never got to grow out of.Even as dawn cracked open the darkness and gave way to morning, I was still there, sitting at the window side. My

    Marcus POV“Sir, now that I’ve successfully put Liam to sleep, I think you should try getting some sleep too.”Nanny Marcy’s voice carried so much concern it almost scraped against my nerves as she dropped her suggestions before me that evening.Her face and eyes held so much concern her brow drawn tight in concentration while she adjusted the last strip of bandage around my fist at the same time steal concern glance at me.The ointment she’d applied moments ago stung faintly beneath the gauze, but at least the bleeding had stopped. Her fingers lingered for a second longer than necessary, like she was debating whether to say more and I'd appreciate if she didn't because no matter what I wasn't buying her suggestions not even for a second.“Nah, it’s fine. You try getting some sleep yourself. I’ll be fine, trust me,” I muttered dismissively my tone coming out rougher than I intended.I noticed how she hesitated at first her eyes searched my face, probably noticing the tension in my jaw

  • I Left, Glowed Up Now He's Begging For A Second Chance    Chapter 14: A Step Closer To The Truth

    Beverly POV“Hello…” I called back immediately in response to the voice from the other end.My voice sounded smaller than I intended, thinner, as though it might dissolve into the air before it reached whoever was listening.Silence followed for the first few minutes It stretched on for long. The quiet pressed against my ears, growing heavier with each passing second. I stared at the wall in front of me, my eyes unfocused, my breathing shallow. My fingers tightened around the phone without me noticing at first. My thumb dug into the edge of the case until a dull sting bloomed there.Just answer, I pleaded silently. Don’t disappear now.“Hello.”Finally the voice came again after what felt like forever deep and hoarse. though it sounded like a woman.“Hi, I’m Beverly Hamilton. Am I speaking to Doctor R?” I asked carefully.My voice trembled despite my effort to steady it. My hands shook openly now, a fine tremor running through my fingers. I shifted on the bed, bracing myself against

    Marcus POVI am such a bastard.The thought tore through me as I drove my fist straight into the mirror the moment I returned home, fresh from the hospital after Liam had been discharged.A part of it cracked and broke instantly shard flying around and a few piercing into my knuckles making it bleed but I didn't in care infact I barely felt the pain as I remained standing Infront of it chest heaving the other part which hadn't broken yet caught hold of my reflection and I froze.The man staring back at me looked unfamiliar Wrecked. Broken. Almost worn out of life.The suit I wore hung loosely on my frame, creased and lifeless. My beard was overgrown, my hair bushy and unkempt. My body, once solid and commanding, had grown lean in an unhealthy way. My face was lined deep with exhaustion, wrinkles etching all over enough to make me look twice my age. My eyes were dull, sunken speak of eyes that hadn't known real sleep in years.I couldn't help but flinched at the sight.How did I becom
