❤️Sophie❤️

I remain behind the pillar long after the man disappears. My heart is still beating too fast.

Every sensible part of me is telling me to get back into my car and drive home. I should listen.

Instead, I look toward the entrance again—the Vault. Even the name feels different now.

Before tonight, it was just a name I had heard in passing. Something connected to Adrian’s business. Another place he owned, another part of his life I knew nothing about.

Now I’ve seen the security. The men.

  • I ordered a baby daddy, not a crazy billionaire.    Chapter 73

    ☠️Adrian☠️The moment I step through the doors of the Vault, the noise disappears behind me.The music from the main floor is still there, but it becomes nothing more than a dull vibration beneath my feet as I walk through the private corridor.“Boss.”I don’t stop.The men standing along the hallway straighten as I pass. One of them reaches for the door ahead of me and opens it.I step inside. The room is nothing like the club outside. No music. No lights.Just a long table, several chairs, and a series of screens displaying numbers, accounts, and surveillance feeds.Damien is already inside. Ronan stands beside the table with his arms folded.Lucian is sitting in one of the chairs, scrolling through something on his phone. Nikolai is near the window.I look at them. “What’s the problem?”Damien pushes a folder across the table. “The shipment came in earlier than expected.”I pick up the folder. “How early?”“Three hours.”I open it. “Who received it?”“The first team.”“Any problems

    ❤️Sophie❤️I remain behind the pillar long after the man disappears. My heart is still beating too fast.Every sensible part of me is telling me to get back into my car and drive home. I should listen.Instead, I look toward the entrance again—the Vault. Even the name feels different now.Before tonight, it was just a name I had heard in passing. Something connected to Adrian’s business. Another place he owned, another part of his life I knew nothing about.Now I’ve seen the security. The men. The black cases. The way everyone straightened the moment Adrian arrived.That wasn’t normal. I take a slow breath. “Just look,” I whisper to myself.“I’ll look, then I’ll leave.” That sounds reasonable enough. At least, I try to convince myself it is.I wait until another group approaches the entrance before moving.They are dressed well. Expensive suits, elegant dresses, the kind of people who wouldn’t look out of place at one of the city’s most exclusive clubs.I follow behind them. The secur

    ❤️Sophie❤️By the time we get home, the sky has turned dark. I step out of the car slowly, one hand resting over my stomach.“I’m fine,” I say before Adrian can ask.He gives me a look. “I didn’t ask.”“You were about to.”His mouth twitches. “Get inside.”I roll my eyes. “Yes, sir.”He follows me to the front door. I expect him to come inside with me, but his phone rings and he stops. His expression changes the moment he sees the screen.He answers in a quiet voice. “Yes.”I turn toward the door, giving him privacy. But then I hear the other person’s voice faintly through the phone.I can’t make out the words. Adrian’s expression becomes colder. “When?”A pause. “Tonight?”Another pause. His eyes move toward the driveway. “Is everything ready?”I glance over my shoulder. He has his back partially turned to me now. I can’t hear the response. Then I hear him say something that makes me stop. “The vault.”My brows pull together. The vault? Adrian lowers his voice. “No one enters until I

    ❤️Sophie❤️The next afternoon, when I open my eyes, the room is already filled with golden light. For a few seconds, I don’t move.I stare at the ceiling, trying to figure out what time it is. The house is strangely quiet. I turn my head toward the window.The sunlight is low, casting long shadows across the bedroom. Late afternoon.I reach for my phone on the nightstand and check the time. Almost four. I blink. I slept that long?I push myself upright slowly. The other side of the bed is empty. Adrian is gone.I don’t know why that realization bothers me.After everything that happened yesterday, I suppose I should be used to waking up without him beside me.Still, I find myself staring at the space for a moment longer than I should. I pull the blanket away and place my feet on the floor.The moment I stand, something strange happens. A small flutter twists inside my stomach. I freeze.My hand immediately moves to my belly. “Baby?”I almost laugh at myself. It’s too early for me to f

  • I ordered a baby daddy, not a crazy billionaire.    Chapter 69

    ❤️Sophie❤️ The house feels unusually quiet after Adrian leaves the house. I remain where I am for several minutes, staring at the doorway. I can still see the scars. I can still hear his voice. I don’t know what happened to Adrian. I don’t know who hurt him. But I know one thing now. There is a part of my husband that he keeps buried so deeply that even he seems afraid of what happens when someone gets too close to it. I return to the bedroom and sit on the bed. I should stop thinking about it. Instead, I keep wondering what it would feel like to know the whole story. A knock sounds on the door. Before I can answer, the door opens. Adrian steps inside. He’s wearing a black shirt now, the sleeves rolled to his forearms. His expression is back to normal. Cold. Controlled. As if he didn’t just show me the most vulnerable part of himself. “You should eat,” he says. I stare at him. “That’s what you came back to say?” His brow lifts. “What did you expect?” “I don’t know.” He

  • I ordered a baby daddy, not a crazy billionaire.    Chapter 68

    ❤️Sophie❤️I wake up before Adrian. For a few seconds, I don’t remember why my wrist and neck hurt. Then I do. My eyes fall to the faint red marks around my wrist. Last night comes back in pieces.His hand closing around me. The sudden change in his face.The way he looked at me like he wasn’t seeing me at all. And then—“Don’t touch me.”I swallow. I don’t know what frightened me more. The strength in his grip or the look in his eyes afterward.It hadn’t looked like anger. It had looked like fear. I sit up slowly. Adrian is already gone from the bed.Of course he is. I stare at the space beside me.For some reason, I expected him to leave after what happened. But he didn’t. He stayed.I remember waking briefly during the night and seeing him sitting in the chair by the window. He hadn’t said anything.He had simply been there. Why? I push the blanket away and stand. My wrist aches slightly when I move it.I rub it absently as I walk toward the bathroom.I stop in front of the mirror
