Chapter 60 The Message That Changed Everything

Author: Mira Light
last update Last Updated: 2025-04-10 02:09:50

That afternoon, Emily was curled up on the couch, idly scrolling through her phone when a notification popped up—a new follower on her design page.

The username was unfamiliar-hermobius.

The profile had no bio.

Just one post.

Curious, she clicked.

It was a close-up photo of two hands—hers and Adrian’s—from the night they exchanged rings. The lighting was soft, the rings catching the faint shimmer of fireworks in the background. Whoever had taken the shot had captured the moment perfectly.

Emily’s heart skipped.

She took a screenshot and sent it to Adrian.

Emily:

You made a social media account?

A moment later, his reply came through.

Adrian:

Mm.

Felt like I should post something that matters.

Then another message followed—a selfie. His hand raised, showcasing the wedding band on his finger.

Adrian:

A symbol that belongs to you.

Emily stared at the photo, then noticed something. The background wasn’t his office.

Emily:

Wait… you're not at work?

Adrian:

Nope.

I’m doing a person

      If she really came on the20th…  Then that message,sent on the18th…  It wasn’t from her.  Adrian’s eyes darkened as he stared at the words again,something cold pressing behind his ribs.  Back then,he had believed it.Every word.  After that message five years ago—May18th—he hadn’t come back.Not really.  He'd finished the business trip,extended it twice,then shifted to another project overseas.There had always been a reason.A client to meet.A team to oversee.A contract to renegotiate.  But deep down…he knew.  He’d stayed away because he thought she had chosen someone else.  And if that was true—if she was happy—he hadn’t wanted to interfere.Not even with a reply.  He hadn’t questioned it.  He’d just…disappeared.  Five years.No contact.No messages.No attempts to cross back into her world.

      With that, he helped her toward the hospital entrance, following the path Emily had taken.  They kept their distance—but Mike’s eyes never left her.  By the time Emily reached the third floor and paused outside Miss Hart’s room, Mike and Vivian were just rounding the corner behind her.  He didn’t call out again.  By the time Mike and Vivian finally made it to the hospital floor, Emily was already inside Miss Evelyn Hart’s room, chatting softly with the older woman. Vivian, still limping slightly, had slowed them down with every step, and now they stood just outside the door, unseen, listening.  Inside, Miss Hart smiled warmly.“So tell me, Emily, how have you been, dear? Have you settled down? Found someone?”  Emily’s voice was light.“Actually…I’m married now. I’ll bring him next time so you can meet him.”  Mike’s jaw clenched.  Before he could stop himself, he pushed the door open and stepped inside.  “You’re lying,”he snapped.  The sudden voice startled Miss Hart. She loo

      Mike couldn’t let it go.  The moment Emily walked away from him—cool, final, untouchable—something snapped.  He needed to know. Needed answers.  “Emily, wait—please!”Mike chased after her, breath ragged, voice cracking as he called her name in the parking lot.  “I only kept seeing Vivian to make you jealous! I just wanted you to love me like you used to—like when we were kids and you’d get mad every time someone else looked at me. I needed that. I needed to feel that again.”  Emily didn’t even glance back. Her steps were quick, sharp, purposeful.  “I’ll fix this!”he shouted.“Let’s get a new ring—right now. We can go submit the marriage application. I’m serious, Emily! I’ll do it today!”  The car door slammed shut.  And then she was gone.  Mike stood frozen, watching her unfamiliar car disappear down the ramp. It wasn’t the car he remembered. Nothing about her was the same anymore.  He stumbled back, pressing his shoulder against the cold concrete wall, then slid down until

      That evening, Emily curled up beside Adrian on the couch, her head resting against his shoulder as the soft glow of the screen lit up the living room.  They were watching the freshly edited footage from the night she’d surprised him—the velvet box, the exchanged rings, the fireworks blooming above their heads. The photographer had done a beautiful job. Every frame looked like a dream, but it was the unspoken expressions between them—the quiet awe, the tenderness—that made Emily’s chest ache just a little.  She reached for Adrian’s hand without thinking, interlacing their fingers.  “By the way,”she said quietly, her voice a soft thread in the calm.“I went to the hospital today to visit Miss Hart—my old high school teacher.”  Adrian turned slightly toward her.“How is she doing?”  “She’s stable now. But…I ran into Mike. And Vivian.”  Adrian’s hand tensed almost imperceptibly in hers.  Emily felt it. She gave a small, reassuring squeeze.  “I told him I’m married,”she continued.“

      Emily’s voice stayed calm, but her grip on the phone tightened just slightly.  “Yes, we did break up,”she said.“But that was because Mike cheated on me. With Vivian.”  There was silence on the other end.  “And as for A Design—I left because I no longer agreed with the direction of their investments. I believe they’re heading somewhere dangerous, and it doesn’t align with what I value. So yes, I sold my shares.”  She paused, then added evenly,“And it wasn’t‘some man.’I got married.”  More silence.  Then, quieter, firmer:  “Also, it’s been two and a half years since either of you contacted me. Not a call, not a message. You’ve never once asked how I was doing. So no—I didn’t think I owed you a heads-up.”  She glanced at the clock.  “It’s ten o’clock,”she said, voice soft but final.“We’re going to bed now. Goodnight.”  Adrian said nothing at first.  He simply reached over and placed his hand gently on the small of her back, his thumb moving in slow, soothing circles.  The t

      The car was quiet as it moved through the late-morning traffic, sunlight glinting off the glass as Emily and Adrian sat side by side in the back seat. She had finally made up her mind—Adrian would meet her parents today.  Neither of them spoke much, but her fingers were curled loosely around his, resting on the seat between them. The tension in her shoulders hadn’t gone unnoticed.  “You sure?”Adrian asked gently.  Emily nodded.“As sure as I’ll ever be.”  He squeezed her hand once, and she gave him a soft, grateful smile.  Their driver took a turn onto the lakeside road, the city slowly giving way to the quieter outskirts where her parents lived.  —  At that exact moment, across the city—  Mike sat at his desk, scrolling absently through the latest business news when a headline caught his eye.  “Private But Powerful:E International’s Adrian Blackwood Breaks His Silence in Exclusive Feature.”

      Mike’s fingers flew across the keyboard, searching every public profile, every business article, every whisper of Adrian Blackwood in the last few years. The deeper he looked, the more pieces fell into place. The more they burned.  And then he saw it.  A headline from a few weeks ago that had made its rounds in private circles:  “E International CEO in Passionate Late-Night Kiss—Newlyweds Caught in Car Park Romance.”  He’d seen it before.  At the time, he hadn’t cared to look closely—just another tabloid moment, he’d told himself. Just another fabricated headline trying to stir gossip around a man like Adrian Blackwood.  But now…  Now he clicked in again.  The photo loaded slowly. Dim garage lighting. A sleek car in the background. The CEO, Adrian, in a perfectly tailored suit—his hand cradling a woman’s face, kissing her with a hunger that made the moment look painfully private.  Mike zoomed in.  The shadows didn’t help. The woman’s face was partially obscured, half-turne

      Emily fell silent. She remembered what Mike had said weeks ago—that they weren’t her biological parents. The words still sat heavy in her chest. But she didn’t have the strength to say it now.  Adrian spoke instead, his tone firm but respectful.“The project A Design is bidding on is financially volatile. Emily had every right to walk away. Besides, the Morgans asked her to sell her shares long before the deal finalized.”  Her father narrowed his eyes.“That’s because they were going to get married…”  The sentence trailed off.  He looked at Adrian, then back at Emily.“So when…did you two get together?”  Emily hesitated, but Adrian didn’t.  “Two months ago,”he said.“After she and Mike ended things. I started pursuing her. We’re together now.”  Her parents exchanged a sharp glance.  Two months ago…  They remembered clearly—that was when Mike and Vivian had gone to that resort together. Just the two of them. They’d called Mike at the time, but had kept it quiet from Emily. They

    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

      Adrian’s expression softened.  He reached out, pulled her gently into his arms.  She didn’t speak, not right away. Just breathed. Just trembled.  He pressed a kiss to her hair.  Then, quietly—  “Sometimes the body remembers what the mind forgets. Especially when it’s something you weren’t ready to carry.”  His thumb brushed along the back of her hand, grounding her.  “Sometimes the mind tucks things away until it’s ready,”Adrian said softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“Especially when you’re that young. Four years old…most people don’t remember much.”  “But something in you held onto it,”he added, his voice quiet but certain.“And whatever it was—whoever they were—you weren’t alone then.”  He leaned closer, pressing a steady kiss to her temple.  “And you’re not alone now,”he whispered.“Whatever you remember, whenever it comes back—I’ll be here. You don’t have to carry it

      Emily blinked, then laughed softly.“I was going to wait until everything was ready to reach out. But yes, I am. And if any of you want in, I’d love to have you.”  Word spread like a spark on dry kindling. Members from A group, B group—familiar faces with eager eyes—turned toward her, nodding, asking if it was true.  Emily nodded.“It’s not fancy yet. We’re still laying the foundation. But if you’re willing to take a leap with me…”  “You don’t even have to ask,”Lily said.“We’re in.”  Emily smiled.  It didn’t matter what she had left behind anymore.  Because what she was building—was hers.  -  After wrapping things up at A Design, Emily headed out and got into her car.  Emily had only been driving for about five minutes when it happened.  A screech of tires. The sudden slam of metal against metal.  A car veered sharply into hers, clipping the side mirror and jolting her vehicle with a force that sent her heart lurching into her throat.  She froze.  The world spun for a sec
