Chapter 71 — The Suspicion

last update Last Updated: 2025-10-10 14:31:29

The next morning, sunlight spilled lazily through the thin white curtains of the bedroom, painting soft gold across the sheets. Adrian stirred first, blinking sleepily as he turned to his side. Elena was still fast asleep beside him, her lips parted slightly, her long lashes brushing her cheeks.

He smiled faintly. She always looked peaceful like this—untouchable, beautiful, and far too perfect for the chaotic world outside their room.

But something caught his eye.

Her tablet lay open on the nightstand, still unlocked from the night before. Normally, he wouldn’t touch it. He respected her privacy, even when his curiosity nagged at him. But today, his gaze lingered on the screen. There was a message notification glowing faintly—Lila (Work)—and a subject line that read:

Maison Élitaire — Final Winter Collection Blueprint.

Adrian frowned.

Maison Élitaire. Again.

He’d been hearing that name everywhere lately—investor meetings

    The morning after the Crown Vogue feature went live, the Blackwell residence was far from peaceful. The phone in the kitchen rang nonstop, notifications poured in on every device, and even the household staff whispered excitedly as they passed through the hallways.Elena was halfway through her first cup of coffee when Lila’s name flashed on her phone screen. She sighed. “Here we go again.”“Good morning to you too, superstar!” Lila’s voice was bright—too bright. “Elena, do you even realize what’s happening online right now?”Elena leaned back on the stool, one brow raised. “I assume the world has opinions about the interview?”“Oh, opinions would be putting it mildly,” Lila said dramatically. “Your interview broke Crown Vogue’s digital record overnight. The website literally crashed for a few minutes because of the traffic. And the photos—Elena, people are obsessed. They’re calling you and Adrian the ‘Power Couple of the Decade.’”Elena blinked. “Wait—what?”“Hashtag #BlackwellEmpire

    Morning sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains of the Blackwell penthouse suite, painting soft streaks of gold across the room. Elena stretched lazily under the silk sheets, her body still warm from Adrian’s arms wrapped around her. He was awake before her, of course, his fingers gently tracing patterns down her spine as though memorizing every inch of her.“You’re awake early,” she murmured, her voice muffled against his chest.“I have a meeting at ten,” he replied quietly, pressing a kiss to her hair. “But I’d rather stay here.”Elena smiled sleepily. “You say that every morning.”He chuckled. “Because every morning, it’s true.”For a moment, neither of them moved. The air between them was still and warm — filled with the comfort of routine and the unspoken pull that never seemed to fade. Then, her phone buzzed from the nightstand, vibrating insistently.Elena groaned and reached for it. “Who’s disturbing my peace?”She squinted at the screen — Lila.“Your manager?” Adrian gue

    The morning after the gala broke over the city in a haze of golden light and chaos.The Blackwell mansion was unusually lively for such an early hour. Phones buzzed nonstop, the staff moved briskly through the hallways, and the housekeeper had turned on the TV in the sitting room, unable to resist the unfolding media frenzy.Every channel was playing the same thing — the video of Adrian Blackwell publicly exposing Damien Holt’s corruption at the Luminara Hotel.Elena stood by the kitchen island in her silk robe, coffee cup in hand, as the screen replayed the footage for the tenth time that morning.“—in a dramatic twist at last night’s private investor gala, Blackwell Corporation’s CEO, Adrian Blackwell, confronted rival executive Damien Holt with evidence of forged documents and blackmail attempts. Sources close to the event describe the confrontation as ‘chillingly calm yet devastatingly precise.’”The reporter’s voice buzzed on.

    The Blackwell mansion was quiet that night — but it wasn’t peaceful.The silence between Elena and Adrian wasn’t from anger or distance. It was the kind of silence that carried tension, the kind that wrapped around the walls like a storm waiting to break.Elena sat in the living room, curled up on the couch in her robe, staring blankly at her untouched cup of tea. The city lights from the glass walls flickered faintly over her skin, but her thoughts were somewhere far darker — circling Damien Holt’s email and the falsified contracts.Adrian had been in his study for hours. She knew better than to interrupt him when he was like this — cold, calculating, quiet. That was when he was at his most dangerous.When she finally heard the study door open, she turned her head sharply.Adrian walked in, his expression unreadable, his phone in one hand and his jacket slung over his arm.“Elena,” he said in that low, commanding tone that made her spine straighten instinctively.She set the teacup d

    The next few days were a whirlwind.Maison Élitaire’s reveal had shaken the fashion world, but instead of collapsing, the brand had exploded into the spotlight. Orders tripled overnight. Interviews poured in. Every celebrity stylist wanted to dress their clients in Elena’s designs.But the attention was both a blessing and a storm.Everywhere she went, there were whispers. Some called her a visionary; others still said she’d ridden on her husband’s wealth. Yet, despite all that noise, she had never felt stronger.Because for the first time, she was living her truth — no masks, no anonymity. Just Elena Blackwell.That morning, she sat in her office at Maison Élitaire’s main headquarters — a sleek, glass-walled space overlooking the city skyline. Sunlight glowed through the curtains, falling over sketches scattered across her desk.Lila walked in with two cups of coffee, looking both exhausted and thrilled. “Elena, the demand

    The next morning started out like peace itself.The soft hum of the espresso machine filled the kitchen, sunlight spilling across the marble counter where Adrian stood, shirt sleeves rolled up, scrolling through his phone while waiting for his coffee. Elena sat opposite him, wearing one of his shirts, her hair tousled and her smile light.Everything felt easy.After the previous night’s confession, the air between them had cleared — fragile but warm, like dawn after a storm. She had promised to take him to her design studio that afternoon, to finally show him everything she’d kept hidden.Adrian poured her a cup and handed it to her. “You didn’t sleep much,” he murmured, his tone gentler than usual.She smiled faintly. “Too nervous. I kept thinking about how you’d see the studio.”“I’ll love it,” he said without hesitation. “Because it’s yours.”Her cheeks flushed softly at the quiet certainty in his voice.She
