FOUR SHADES OF DREY WHEN LAST DID YOU SPEAK TO HIM?
CHAPTER 154DREYLENThe drive back to the hospital is quieter than the one that takes us to Julian's office.Dreyden is behind the wheel, Dreyven sits beside him, and I remain in the back seat, staring out of the window.My thoughts keep returning to Julian's final words.Perhaps you should ask Aurelia.I don't like that he brought her into this. Not because I have suddenly started doubting her, but because Julian has always been good at finding ways to create trouble without getting his own hands dirty.And I refuse to let him dictate how we see her."He's trying to get into our heads," Dreyven says, breaking the silence.I look towards him. "I know.""We shouldn't give him what he wants."Dreyden keeps his eyes on the road. "We won't. But we still need to ask her what she knows.""Agreed," I reply.We had already decided to trust Aurelia. That decision hasn't changed. However, trusting someone doesn't mean refusing to ask questions when something doesn't add up.When we arrive at th
FOUR SHADES OF DREY LEAST OF HIS WORRIES.
Chapter 153Dreylen Nobody moves. For a moment, I simply stare at him.Dreyven's expression changes, and I catch Dreyden looking at him from the corner of his eye.Drayton takes a small step forward."What does Aurelia have to do with this?" Julian gives a faint smile."That's a question she should answer herself. I can't answer it for her." I feel something tighten in my chest.Aurelia.Of all the names he could have brought into this conversation, he chose hers.But I remember what we discussed in the car. We agreed not to jump to conclusions. We agreed to find out what Julian knows before making accusations.And I still mean it. Dreyden takes a step towards the desk."Don't drag her into whatever you're doing."Julian raises his eyebrows. "I'm not dragging anyone anywhere. You asked me a question, and I gave you an answer.""An answer that explains absolutely nothing," Dreyven snaps.Julian shrugs. "Then perhaps you should speak to her."I exchange a look with Dreyden. There is no
FOUR SHADES OF DREY YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
CHAPTER 152DREYLENSilence settles over the office.I look at Dreyden. He looks back at me, and I can tell we're thinking along the same lines.Julian wants something substantial enough to make walking away difficult. He believes our father's estate is the only thing worth negotiating over because that is what he has chosen to demand.But he is overlooking something.Dreyven pulls out a chair and sits down."Let's discuss something else."Julian glances at him. "I'm listening.""You want a financial stake in the family?""I want what I'm entitled to.""Fine. Then let's talk about an offer that is worth more than the estate you're trying to take." Julian's expression changes slightly.Dreyven rests his arms on the desk. "We'll give you ten per cent equity in our group company."For the first time since we entered the office, Julian looks genuinely caught off guard.He glances at Dreyden, then back at Dreyven."Your group company?""Yes.""You're offering me ten per cent of your busine
FOUR SHADES OF DREY NOT UNTIL WE AGREE ON THE INHERITANCE
CHAPTER 151DREYLENThe words leave my mouth before I can stop them.I stare at the photograph on Dreyven's phone, waiting for my mind to reject what my eyes are seeing. But the longer I look, the more certain I become.Julian Cross.Of all the people Dad could have been referring to, it has to be him.Dreyden leans forward, his eyes narrowing as he studies the picture. For a moment, he says nothing. Then he sits back, his jaw tightening."You're sure?" he asks Dreyven."I had him checked before I showed you the photograph."I drag a hand over my face and look out through the windscreen. "We were hoping it wasn't him.""Clearly, we were hoping for the wrong thing," Drayton mutters from beside me.Dreyven locks his phone and drops it onto his thigh."When Dad first mentioned the name, I thought about him. I just didn't want to jump to conclusions.""Neither did I," Dreyden says.I let out a humourless laugh. "And now he's somehow involved in our family business."It is difficult to bel
FOUR SHADES OF DREY DID YOU GET CONFIRMATION?
CHAPTER 150DREYLENThe room remains quiet for a while after Julian's message.Dad has barely touched his phone since reading it, and Mum hasn't released his hand. I can see the worry in her expression, but beneath it is something else. Hope.A dangerous kind of hope, considering the man who has brought it into their lives.Dreyden breaks the silence."Dad, you need to rest. We'll take care of Julian."Dad looks at him. "I don't want any of you getting involved in something you don't fully understand.""We're already involved," Dreyven replies. "He's threatening our family. That makes it our business."Dad exhales and leans back against his pillow."I know. I just don't want this to become more complicated than it already is.""It won't," I assure him. "But you need to concentrate on getting better. We can handle the rest."Mum brushes her thumb over his knuckles."He's right, Nathaniel. You've been through enough. Let the boys take care of this."Dad looks between us before finally n
FOUR SHADES OF DREY EXACTLY WHAT HE KNOWS
Chapter 149DREYLEN I fold my arms. “How much?”“He initially demanded thirty per cent. When I refused, he increased it to forty. His latest demand is seventy per cent.”My eyes widen. “Seventy?”Dad nods. I stare at him, struggling to keep my temper under control.“And you are considering giving it to him?”“I am considering the possibility that my son is alive.” His answer makes me pause.I look at him properly. I can see the desperation in his eyes, and suddenly I understand why Julian's claims have affected him so deeply.This isn't simply about money to Dad. It's about a child he believes he has buried. A child he and Mum have spent years mourning.If there is even a chance that the boy is alive, Dad wants to find him.Mum looks at her husband, her eyes filled with tears.“Nathaniel, what if he's telling the truth? What if our little boy is really alive?”Dad reaches for her hand. “That's what I want to find out, darling.”I draw a slow breath. “Has Julian explained how he know
