His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX - Questions We Never Asked
Nora sat across from Mia in the small café they had visited countless times since university.Her coffee had been sitting untouched for almost ten minutes. Mia noticed. "You've been staring at that cup like it offended you."Nora laughed. "Sorry." "So?" "So what?" "You called me and said you needed to tell me something."Nora sighed. "I got another opportunity." Mia's eyes lit up. "Another one?" "The client expanded the project." "I know that part.""And Adrian offered to help me start my studio." Mia's smile slowly disappeared."Adrian?" Nora nodded. "How?" "He wants to invest." Mia leaned back."Invest in your studio?" "Yes." "Just like that?" Nora shrugged. "Apparently."Mia studied her. "And what do you think?" "I don't know." "You want to accept." Nora didn't answer.Mia smiled. "I knew it." "It's not that simple." "Why not?" "Because he's my employer.""Technically, you're working on a project for his company." "Exactly." "And?" "I don't want things to get complicated."Mia rais
His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE - An Unexpected Offer
The following morning, Nora woke up earlier than usual. She had barely slept.Not because of Adrian. At least, that was what she told herself. Her mind had been occupied with numbers.Rent,furniture,equipment,staff and banding. There was one particular figure she had written down three times before finally closing her notebook.The amount she would need to start her own studio was more than she had saved.Much more. Nora sighed. She had expected that. Dreams were rarely cheap.She got out of bed, prepared for the day and headed to her workspace.Her phone buzzed while she was reviewing some sketches.Adrian. She stared at the name for a moment before answering."Hello?" "Good morning." His voice sounded different.Calmer. "Good morning." "Are you busy?" "I always have something I'm doing.""I'll take that as a yes." She smiled. "What do you want?""I want to see the studio plans you've been working on." Nora frowned. "How did you know I was working on studio plans?""Leo told me." She
His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR - The Things He Noticed
Nora arrived at the client's office ten minutes early. She had spent most of the morning going through her presentation, checking every detail twice.The project had grown quickly, and she knew this meeting mattered. Not just because of the client.Because it was proof that she was getting somewhere. For years, she had imagined having her own design studio.Today, that dream no longer felt like something she was simply imagining."Nora." She looked up. Vincent walked toward her, holding two cups of coffee."I brought this for you." She smiled. "You remembered." "I remember important things."She took the cup from him. "Thank you." They walked into the conference room together.For the next hour, Nora spoke confidently about the design concept, materials, colours, furniture placement and the atmosphere she wanted the space to create.When she finished, the room was quiet for a moment. Then the client smiled. "This is exactly what we wanted."Nora exhaled. "Thank you." "We'd like you to
His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE - A Different Kind of Attention
Nora stood in front of the mirror, fastening the last button on her blouse. She stared at her reflection for a moment.The woman looking back at her seemed calmer than she actually felt.Her presentation was over. The client loved her work. The project had grown bigger than she expected, and for the first time in a long while, the dream she had carried quietly in her heart felt like something she could actually build.Her own design studio. Nora smiled faintly. She reached for her bag and headed downstairs.Her phone rang before she could reach the door. "Hello?" "You're leaving already?" Nora recognized Vincent's voice immediately."Unless you plan to come and drag me back inside." He laughed. "I was going to say congratulations again.""You've said that about five times." "And I'll say it ten more times if necessary."Nora shook her head, smiling. "What's up?" "The client wants to meet tomorrow."Her smile faded slightly. "Tomorrow?" "Yes. They want to discuss the next phase of the
His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO - The Space Between Them
The following morning, Nora woke with an unfamiliar sense of lightness.For the first time in days, she hadn't spent the first few minutes after opening her eyes thinking about threats, hospital records, or unanswered questions.She had a project,a real one. A project that could bring her closer to the dream she had carried quietly for years.Her own studio. Nora smiled as she reached for her phone. There was a message from Vincent.You did well yesterday. The client is already discussing the next phase. Congratulations.She smiled. Thank you. I couldn't have done it without you.She hesitated before sending another message. I think I'm finally ready to take the studio idea seriously.His reply came almost immediately. Good. It's about time. Nora laughed softly.She placed the phone down and got out of bed. For once, she wanted to focus on something that belonged entirely to her.Her career,her future,her life. Not the past. Not Adrian Sterling.And certainly not the strange emotions
His Heir My Lost Son CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE - The Old Archives
Nora's excitement lasted until she got back into her car. Then she remembered Mia. She pulled out her phone and called her.Mia answered after the third ring. "Hello?" Her voice sounded tired.Nora smiled despite herself. "Mia, you won't believe what happened.""What?" "The presentation." There was a small pause.Then Mia laughed softly. "How did it go?" "It went better than I expected. The client loved the concept.""Really?" "Yes. They actually expanded the project."Mia's voice brightened slightly. "Nora, that's amazing." "I know!" Nora laughed."And Vincent wouldn't stop telling me that I need to start thinking seriously about opening my own studio.""You do." "I know, but hearing someone else say it makes it feel real.""You've always been good enough."Nora smiled. "Thank you." For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then Nora's smile slowly faded. "Mia?" "Hmm?" "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "No, you're not.""I'm just tired." Nora tightened her grip on the steering wheel."Is it bec
