 She wanted to ask Adrian what style he liked—what kind of design he imagined wearing every day.But the question caught in her throat.What if he hadn’t meant it?

  And what if he’d just said that to pacify his mother?What if he didn’t care?

  That thought dropped into her stomach like a stone.

  Adrian’s mother stood from the sofa with a soft smile,announcing that she needed to rest and recover from jet lag.“Your father will arrive tonight,”she said,stretching slightly.“We’ll have dinner together,all of us.”

  Emily nodded and watched her disappear down the hall.

  She turned to go upstairs,already reaching for the railing—when Adrian’s voice stopped her.

  “Don’t you have something you want to ask me?”

  She paused,glancing back at him.“About the wedding rings?”

  He arched an eyebrow,as if amused by her hesitation.“Mm.&

    Upstairs, Emily face was warm. Her chest was tight.And she felt… awkward.Awkward, because she couldn’t understand why she cared so much. Why her first instinct had been to ask about Adrian’s past. Why it mattered so much whether there had been someone else.People had histories. She did too.And this wasn’t even a real marriage.Except…Except they’d shared things in the last few days that went far beyond their agreement.She touched her lips lightly, remembering how he’d kissed her.Remembering the way he had looked at her.And suddenly, everything felt very… complicated.Two hours later, the first draft was finally done.Emily sat back in her chair, exhaling slowly as she looked at the sketch on her screen.

    Their expressions shifted almost instantly.“What is it?” Emily asked, watching them trade sharp glances.Adrian’s mother frowned, turning the phone so Adrian could see. “Some celebrity nonsense.”Adrian’s brows furrowed as he read the screen.“Apparently a well-known actress posted a photo of me on her social media,” he said, voice flat.Emily blinked. “You?”He turned his phone to show her.It was a candid shot—Adrian’s profile, taken from across a restaurant terrace. The caption beneath it read:The view here is amazing.Her fans had already flooded the comments.“Is that your boyfriend?”“That’s Adrian Blackwood from E International!”“When did this happen?!”Emily stared, then let out a short laugh. “You don’t even know her, do you?”Adrian shook his head. “Never met her.”“Well… I mean, that was the day we got married,” Emily added lightly. “So unless sh

    He followed her gaze,and his expression softened.  “I didn’t have a photo of us,”he said simply.“So I put up the next best thing.”  Emily blinked.She opened her mouth to respond,but no words came.  Because for a man who was always measured,always in control…this was unexpectedly vulnerable.  And it meant more than she could say.  She looked back at the glass dome,lips parting slightly.  Then she smiled.  “…You’re ridiculous.”  “But efficient,”he replied smoothly,stepping closer to adjust a lock of hair behind her ear.“And maybe a little sentimental.”  She didn’t pull away.  Not when his fingers brushed her jaw.Not when his eyes lingered just a moment longer than necessary.  “You know,”she said,“you could’ve just told me.”  Adrian raised a brow slightly.“Told you what?”  “That you needed a photo,”she said with a faint smile,pulling her phone from her bag.“We could’ve taken one together.Properly.”  She was glowing tonight—her dress was simple but elegant,her hair gently cu

    The dinner ended in quiet elegance.Once the last course was served and the champagne glasses had been cleared,the restaurant’s staff and security subtly swept through the premises,ensuring the media had dispersed.  Emily and Adrian exited through the private entrance,the air outside cool and still.They walked toward the car,her heels tapping softly against the stone tiles.Just as the driver opened the door—  Click.  Adrian paused.  His hand instinctively found hers.He leaned in,voice low near her ear,“Someone’s still here.Camera.”  Emily’s heart skipped.“Seriously?”  He looked over his shoulder with a faint smirk.“Seems like someone’s determined.”  Then,without warning,he turned back to her and said lightly,“Well,it’s what married couples usually do after dinner,isn’t it?”  Emily blinked—“Do what?”  Before she could react,he leaned in.  The kiss wasn’t rushed.Wasn’t for show.  It was slow.Intentional.The kind of kiss that made time blur at the edges.  Emily’s heart gave a

    At A Design, the headline blazed across Lucas’s phone screen like a flare: “E International CEO in Passionate Late-Night Kiss — Newlyweds Caught in Car Park Romance”.He whistled low, nudging the screen toward Mike. “You see this? Blackwood’s back in the country. Married. And apparently very into PDA.”Mike's brows furrowed. “Adrian’s back?”Lucas nodded, still scrolling. “Word is, E International’s been crushing it. Their luxury jewelry line’s been killing our numbers for months — now we know who’s behind it. Adrian Blackwood. Lila’s brother.”From the side, Vivian leaned in with feigned innocence and a lilt in her voice. “Wait, wait — was that the same man people said was dating that actress? Maybe she’s the one he was kissing. These elite families, always so scandalous behind the scenes…”She giggled. “And Lila’s brother? That’s the crowd Emily’s mixing with now?”Mike didn’t answer.He wasn’t reading the headline anymore.Mike leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled as he stare

      The comment section under Emily’s latest post lit up like wildfire.  Former colleagues from A Design—especially the design department—flooded in with supportive words:  “This is stunning, Emily!”  “Can’t wait to see the rest of your collection!”  “So proud of you!”  It was the kind of encouragement she hadn’t realized she missed.  Meanwhile,  Mike sat in the lounge of his hotel suite, a half-finished glass of whiskey in his hand and frustration brewing beneath his composed surface. His phone pressed to his ear as he waited for the production team to answer.  “She hasn’t submitted any design,”came the nervous voice of the head jeweler.“Emily said the concept had been scrapped. She told us not to proceed.”  Mike froze.  “What do you mean scrapped?”he asked sharply.  The voice on the other end hesitated.“She said the rings weren’t needed anymore.”  Mike’s grip on th

    Later that evening, as Emily scrolled through the flurry of notifications beneath her ring design post, one particular comment caught her eye:@MoonVisualsOfficial“Latest zine issue is in the mail—should arrive soon! Also, guess what? Our Moon Visual Design Tour is coming to your city again next month! Want to come by?”Emily’s lips curved into a genuine smile.She tapped out a quick reply.@emily.carter“Absolutely! I’d love to come. Can’t wait to see what you’ve created this time!”The account belonged to an old friend from high school—someone who had gone on to create a design collective centered entirely around lunar aesthetics. Back then, Emily had loved anything to do with the moon. It was soft, distant, and constant. She’d helped them with early sketches, even illustrated several of their very first pieces.There was a time the project nearly failed—funding had dried up, and they’d almost shut down.But t

      He’d only met the mysterious backer once, years ago. The man had written a single check that saved Moon Visual from shutting down—and then vanished from the spotlight completely.  No press. No photos. Just a single stipulation:keep the focus on the art.  And now he was standing right in front of Leo, in a fitted charcoal coat, looking perfectly comfortable beside Emily.  Emily, oblivious to the mental chaos unfolding in front of her, smiled brightly.“Leo, this is my husband, Adrian. Adrian, this is Leo—the co-founder of Moon Visual. We’ve known each other since high school.”  Adrian offered his hand smoothly.“Pleasure to meet you, Leo.”  His tone was calm, his expression unreadable.  But Leo caught it.  The brief glint in Adrian’s eyes. The unspoken warning.  Don’t say a word.  Leo blinked once, then quickly reached out to shake his hand.“Of course—great to meet you, too.”  He laughed a little too loudly.“Wow, Emily, you really married well.”  Emily raised a brow.“What’s

      The interview and shoot were scheduled just days later, and the production team had already planned a short behind-the-scenes video to be released on social media first—  a chance to ride the momentum while it lasted.  Still, as Emily stood in the spotlight of the photo studio, the lights glaring overhead, she felt a twist of nerves in her stomach.  The lighting rig blocked half her view. She could barely see beyond the softboxes, let alone the studio door.  She took a quiet breath and tried to focus.  From behind the equipment, she heard the director chuckle.  A warm, baritone voice followed with a teasing edge:  “Well, well. Look who’s here. Didn’t expect to see you.”  Emily glanced up instinctively.  And there he was.  Adrian—tall, sharp, completely out of place in a room full of rolling racks and lens flares—yet somehow fitting in all the same.  He gave the director a polite nod.  “Thought I’d drop by,”he said easily.“My wife’s first major cover. Wouldn’t miss it.”

      The next morning,sunlight spilled softly across the edge of the bed,catching on the pale gold curtains.  Emily blinked awake,still wrapped in the warmth of Adrian’s arms.  For a long moment,she didn’t move—just listened to the slow,steady rhythm of his breathing behind her,the quiet peace that followed everything they’d left on that stage.  Then her phone buzzed.  She reached for it sleepily,squinting at the screen.  And froze.  Notifications were flooding in—social media mentions,article headlines,blog posts,tags,messages,comment threads that seemed to scroll endlessly.  The brand’s official account was trending.  Her name was trending.  Even#MobiusBride was trending.  She stared at it,eyes wide,then turned to look back at Adrian,who had stirred awake,watching her with half-lidded eyes.  "Did you…pay for all this promotion?"she asked,still dazed,the phone now resting against his bare chest.  Adrian lifted an eyebrow,amused.  "As a financial investor,the first thing I a

  • I Said Yes to My Ex's Enemy   Chapter 86 The Night She Took the Stage

    As the applause faded and the lights dimmed slightly, a soft transition played across the massive LED screen behind Emily. The crowd turned to look— and there it was. A sleek, elegant Möbius strip, rendered in brushed platinum and rose gold, slowly rotated on the screen. It was the official brand symbol of her new line. The host, standing beside the podium, turned toward her with a smile. “Ms. Hart, could you tell us a bit about the meaning behind this design?” Emily smiled, steady and poised, her voice carrying gently through the mic. “The Möbius strip has a fascinating history,” she began. “It’s a one-sided surface—continuous, infinite. No beginning, no end. It symbolizes unity, eternity, and the beautifully complex nature of connection.” She paused, then added, her eyes softening slightly. “When I created this brand, a part of its philosophy was inspired by my husband. This symbol you see here is also the foundation of our wedding ring design. Because I believe every s

      The space between them stretched thin, charged and brittle.  People around them were starting to notice, glancing over with curious eyes.  The gift box remained suspended awkwardly between them, Mike’s hand still waiting, expectant.  Emily’s fingers curled into her side, rigid with the effort not to move, not to take it.  A heartbeat later, a warm hand closed over the box.  Another arm slid around her waist in a firm, unmistakable claim.  Emily exhaled in a rush as Adrian pulled her gently against him, his presence a wall between her and everything else.  He turned to Mike with a polished smile that didn’t reach his eyes.  “Mike,”Adrian said smoothly, his voice calm and cutting all at once.  “Good to see you. Please, enjoy the evening. Have a seat.”  Without waiting for a response, Adrian laced his fingers through Emily’s and steered her away with effortless possession.  Emily followed, her heart hammering, the heat of his hand grounding her as they moved through the crow

      Adrian smiled against her hair, then shifted to the side, pulling the covers up over both of them.  He gathered her into his arms, tucking her securely against him, her head nestled under his chin, his hand stroking soothing circles along her spine.  Emily let out a tiny sigh, the last of her tension melting away.  Wrapped up in his arms, with the steady thud of his heartbeat against her ear and his breath warm in her hair, she finally felt herself drift.  Safe.  Loved.  Home.  Adrian kissed the top of her head one last time and whispered,  "Sleep, baby. I'm not going anywhere."  And with that promise stitched into the night between them, they both surrendered to sleep—together.  -  The design studio was finally finished—  polished marble floors, glass walls that caught the sunlight just right, sleek modern lines that spoke of ambition and elegance.  It stood just a few blocks away from E International, nestled in the heart of the city’s thriving downtown core.  When E

      With a low,ragged growl,he shifted,gripping her hips firmly as he drove into her with a sudden,deeper thrust.  Emily gasped sharply,her back bowing off the bed,her nails digging into his skin as he filled her completely,claiming her in a way that left no room for thought.  He caught her mouth in a fierce kiss,swallowing every broken sound she made,moving inside her with a raw,aching need that he no longer bothered to hold back.  His control—so carefully maintained—was gone now,undone by the way she trembled for him,by the way she clung to him like he was the only thing keeping her grounded.  And he was.  He always would be.  Their bodies moved together in a wild,desperate rhythm,each thrust sending another tremor through her,each kiss deepening the way they unraveled into each other.  In that moment,nothing else existed—  just the burn of skin against skin,  the frantic beating of two hearts colliding,  and the unspoken vows stitched into every breathless touch.  Emily’s

      He reached the bed and lowered her carefully onto the mattress, his hands lingering a moment longer than necessary, as if reluctant to let her go.  Emily looked up at him, her hair fanning out across the pillows, cheeks flushed, eyes wide and soft.  Adrian stayed there for a beat, hovering above her, his gaze tracing every inch of her face like he was trying to memorize her all over again.  Then, without a word, he leaned down and kissed her.  Slowly. Deeply.  The kind of kiss that didn’t rush, didn’t ask for anything—only gave. His mouth moved against hers with a tenderness that made her heart ache, like he was pouring everything he couldn’t say into that single touch.  Adrian shifted, bracing one arm beside her head, the other sliding along her waist with a patience that made her tremble. His fingers brushed the hem of her pajama top, tracing small, reverent circles against her skin, as if asking permission without ever needing to speak.  When Emily gasped softly against hi

      Emily caught a glimpse of Adrian holding his phone up, filming something. She tilted her head curiously.  “What are you doing?”  He didn’t look away from the screen as he answered, voice low and steady.  “Recording you,”he said.“So next time you’re scared, you can look back and remember this feeling—this moment when you chose courage. Then, little by little, we’ll stack up so many good memories that the fear won’t stand a chance.”  Emily blinked, then smiled—a small, genuine smile that reached her eyes.  He was right.  Facing things, handling them one step at a time, was how real confidence was built. Not overnight. But piece by piece.  Her heart felt lighter.  When they finally headed back down the winding mountain roads, Emily kept her hands steady on the wheel, a quiet kind of pride blooming in her chest.  They decided to stop for lunch on Lexford Boulevard again.  Emily pulled into a spot near the restaurant. As she climbed out, a loose piece of gravel shifted under he

      The next morning, Emily was about to grab her purse and head out—the interior designer from E International had texted, asking her to come by and check out the preliminary renovation plans for her personal design studio.  She picked up her car keys from the counter—but her fingers hesitated.  A small tremble ran through them.  Just as she was about to tell the driver she might need him to take her instead, the distant growl of an engine caught her ear.  Emily turned—and froze.  A bright yellow SUV pulled into the driveway.  The window rolled down.  Adrian.  He smiled lazily at her from behind the wheel.“Come see your new ride. Tell me if you like it.”  Emily stared for a second, stunned.  The SUV was wild and beautiful—bold yellow with clean, muscular lines that somehow managed to look both untamed and sophisticated. Even the rims were touched with a subtle, eye-catching gleam of color.  Before she could find words, Adrian cut the engine, got out, and walked over.  He pr
