His Tamed Wife, The Wild Heiress Chapter 149
Chapter 149ADRIAKieran's phone buzzed.He looked at it briefly and something crossed his face that was dry and resigned simultaneously."Marcus," he said."Damien's Marcus?" I said."Telling me to stop whatever I think I'm doing," he said. He put the phone in his pocket. "He's been very free with his opinions today.""He punched you this morning," I said."He did," Kieran said. "I punched him back.""I know," I said. "I saw the aftermath.""For what it's worth," he said, "the thing he said that started it—he wasn't entirely wrong."I looked at him."I've been—" He stopped. Started again. "I have not been careful enough about the way I've been present in your life. What that looks like from the outside. What it costs." He held my gaze steadily. "That's not—I don't regret checking on you. I don't regret any of the specific moments. But I haven't been thinking about the shape of it from his perspective and

Chapter 148ADRIAThe doorbell rang at eight forty-seven.I knew it was him before anyone moved. Not because I had been expecting him—I hadn't, not specifically, not tonight—but because there was a particular quality to the timing of it, the way it arrived in the middle of a sentence my mother was saying about something entirely unrelated, that had the feel of the universe making a structural decision about how the evening was going to go.Elijah looked at the security feed on his laptop without being asked."Kieran Ashford," he said. "At the door."The room did the thing that rooms full of Salvodores did when new information arrived—a split second of collective processing, a rapid silent negotiation, and then everyone landing on the same position without a word being spoken."Cousins," Adrian said. "Visiting from out of town.""I'm not a convincing cousin," Elijah said."You're a cousin who spends too much time on his laptop," Sophia said. "That's extremely convincing, actually.""Ma

Chapter 147THOMAS"Then why—""Because knowing she's smart makes it worse," he said. "Not better. If she were—if she were what I thought she was in the beginning, this would be cleaner. She'd accept the papers and the narrative and she'd be safe and it would be done." He paused. "But she's not that. And she's not going to accept the narrative. And I don't know what to do with that."The room was quiet.His phone lit up on the bedside table.He looked at it.Something happened on his face—a small, quick shift, the kind that happened when something unexpected arrived."Kieran," he said.None of us said anything.He looked at the screen for a moment without answering. Then he answered it and put it to his ear and said "yeah" in the voice that was his Kieran voice—different from his Marcus voice, different from his board voice. Something older than both.I watched his face while he listened.It did several things in the space of the call that were not the face he showed people when he wa

Chapter 146THOMASDamien had told us to go home.He had said it at eight o'clock, in the reasonable voice of a man who has made a decision and expects it to be implemented. He had said he was fine, he needed rest, there was nothing we could do by sitting in chairs watching him exist in a hospital bed, we should all go home and he would see us tomorrow.None of us had moved.Marcus was in the chair by the window, on his phone, doing what Marcus did when he was processing something he wasn't ready to discuss—manufacturing the appearance of busyness. Robert had found a book somewhere, an actual physical book, and was reading it with the focused attention he brought to everything. I had the chair nearest the door and a coffee that had gone cold an hour ago and no particular occupation except thinking.Damien had looked at us, registered that none of us were leaving, and returned to his tablet without further comment.This was how we functioned. This had always been how we functioned."Yo

Chapter 145KIERAN"Okay," Penny said. "Sure." She shifted again on the sofa. "Don't say I didn't warn you. There will be eyes on you. Every move you make right now is going to be interpreted through a specific lens and there is significant footage infrastructure in this city currently pointed at anything connected to the Castellan situation.""I know," I said."And Marcus," she said. "Marcus might throw another punch. Just saying. His jaw seems to have recovered enough.""Marcus," I said, "can take another swing if he wants to. I'll survive it.""Very brave," she said. "Or very stupid.""Usually the same thing," I said.She looked at me for a moment with the expression she used when she had said her piece and was not going to say it again."Kieran," she said."Yes.""If Damien is protecting her," she said. "And you go to her. And you're there when the protection is still running—you could make it worse. You could confirm

Chapter 144KIERAN"Even if she is," Penny said. "Even if she is the girl from the warehouse. Even if everything you feel is based in something real and not in projection—she is still his wife. And you are still his best friend. And whatever happened sixteen years ago in a place neither of you remember clearly does not automatically entitle you to the person she has become."The room was quiet."Damien helped you for fifteen years," she said. "Consistently. Without conditions. He is your best friend and somehow you got entangled with his wife and that is—" She stopped. "That's not a simple thing to come back from. Even if your reasons are real. Even if the connection is real. This is not fair, Kieran. Not to him."I looked at her."And what if it's not fair to her either?" I said. "What if she's in a marriage that—""That's not your determination to make," Penny said. "That's hers."The lavender and eucalyptus candles burned.

Chapter 28ADRIAThere was something protective in his tone, even through text. Something that made me think of the boy from my memories—gentle hands, a kind voice, someone who helped without expecting anything in return.Kieran: And Adriana, if Damien ever... if he ever hurts you or treats you bad

Chapter 50ADRIABecause the last thing I needed was for my sister's husband to get a good look at me and realize that something was off. That the woman he'd married looked right but felt wrong. That the eyes staring back at him weren't quite the right shade, that the voice was a fraction too confi
