His accidental husband CHAPTER SEVENTY NINE
DAMIEN CROSS POVI stood on the balcony, watching the street light.Inside, Adrian was talking calmly to the nurse who had just brought the baby’s milk.The baby kept on crying calmly.It should have made me smile. But it made me frustrated.Something didn’t feel right.Adrian had been smiling all evening, trying so hard to make things feel normal again.He kept laughing, making jokes, pretending everything was fine.But deep now nothing was fine.I saw how his hands trembled when he thought I wasn’t looking.He came out to the balcony a few minutes later, wearing one of my shirts. His hair was messy, his eyes tired.“He’s finally asleep,” he said calmly, leaning on the rail beside me. “You look like you’re somewhere else.”“I am,” I said quietly. “Everywhere else but here.”He frowned, confused. “Damien…”“I just keep thinking,” I whispered, my voice low. “Everything’s changing so fast. We’re adopting a child, Adrian. That means we’ll be responsible for someone’s whole life.”He gave

Adrian’s POVDamien’s arm was around me. Like nothing had happened last night. Like Helena hadn’t looked me in the eye and broken my whole world with just a few words.The room scents like him.It was still there on the table across the room. That small brown folder that carried the weight of my whole life.I hadn’t slept. Every time I closed my eyes, Helena’s voice came back.“You were stolen. You don’t even know who you are.”Then I’d hear Damien’s voice from last night, rough and desperate.“I was trying to protect you.”My chest started beating so fast. I didn’t know who to believe anymore.I slowly slid out from under his arm. He moved a little, his breath catching, but he didn’t wake right away. The air felt cold when I left his warmth.I stood there for a moment, staring at the folder. My fingers itched to touch it, but my heart screamed not to. Still, I took a step. Then another.When I reached it, I picked it up. My hands shook. The paper felt heavier than it should.Then hi

Damien Hale POVThe sound of the door closing was loud. It shook the whole house.“Adrian,” I whispered, but he didn’t answer. Anytime he goes silent it hurts my heart.I looked down at the folder in my hand. I was short of words. Helen has already told him.My chest felt heavy. I should have told Adrian long ago. I should have trusted him. But fear stopped me. Fear of losing him. Fear that he would hate me if he knew everything. So I stayed quiet, thinking I was protecting him. But now… he looked at me like I was a bad person.I stayed by his door for a long time. I hoped he would open it. I hoped he would say my name. But all I could hear was him crying.I leaned my head against the door. My voice came out low.“Adrian, I didn’t want to hurt you. I wanted to keep you safe. I was scared of what the truth would do to you.”He didn’t speak.After a while, I stepped away. I felt as if I betrayed him, my legs weak. I walked downstairs and poured myself a drink.Then I heard the study do

Adrian Hale’s POVI opened my eyes when I heard the sound of the door. Then closing quietly. Damien thought I was asleep. But I wasn’t. I lay still on the couch, my body still.“Adrian,” he whispered.I stayed still. I didn’t answer.He walked closer. I felt him near. Then he kissed my forehead, His hand brushed my hair back. I opened my eyes. He was hiding something. I could feel it in the way he touched me, in the way he looked at me these past days. Damien always told me things before. Everything. But now? Now he keeps things for me.I sat up, staring at the door where he had gone.“Why are you lying to me, Damien?”The next morning was so cold Damien sat at the table with a cup of coffee, a newspaper in his hands. He looked like he was pretending too. Like nothing was wrong. But I knew. I always knew. His tie was crooked. Damien never left his tie like that. Not unless his mind was far away.I pulled out a chair and sat across from him.“You came home late,” I said.He didn’t l

He had not been sleeping well since the day we went to the adoption office. since we can e back from the orphanage everything hasn't been the same. I thought the name "Ward" has left our lives.I poured myself a drink. My hand shook a little when I lifted the glass. Adoption.Long ago, I wanted a child. I dreamed about it once. But life had made my heart hard like stone. Now Adrian wanted to bring a child into this broken world. He said it would give us peace. He said it would fix something in me. But I was scared. What if it broke me instead?I stared at the papers on my desk. The forms from the agency. The pictures of little children waiting for a family. Sweet faces. Innocent eyes. But behind those eyes, too much hurt for someone so small.My hurt started beating fast.Then my phone buzzed. A message. So late at night?I picked it up. The screen glowed. A nam

Adrian Hale POVDamien drove us back from the agency. My hands were still on my lap, I couldn’t calm down.Her face. Lydia Ward’s face. The way she looked at Damien, then at me, like we were already guilty of something.And that name is Ward.I hated it.I looked at Damien’s profile as he drove. his hands gripping the wheel like he wanted to crush it. He was angry too. Angry in that quiet way.“Damien,” I whispered, my throat dry.He didn’t take his eyes off the road. “I know.”“No, listen, what if she isn’t just related to Ethan? What if she knows about my father too?”His eyes flicked to me for a second, then back to the road. “Say it straight, Adrian.”I swallowed, my heart beating fast. “What if she’s part of the same plan? What if Ethan wasn’t working alone? What if she… helped him kill my father?”The drive became quiet.I pressed my forehead against the window. The glass was cold, but my skin was hot. My heart was beating too fast. I thought I had left this fear behind when Eth
