☠️Felix☠️

The first morning without Mercury feels strange. I wake up expecting the usual calls. The usual figures.

The usual pressure sitting at the back of my mind, reminding me that another payment is due, another creditor is waiting, another problem needs to be solved before it becomes a disaster.

But there is nothing. The sale has gone through. The debts that were suffocating Mercury are no longer my problem.

For the first time in months, I can sit in my office without staring at number

  • I ordered a baby daddy, not a crazy billionaire.    Chapter 77

    ❤️Sophie❤️ I find Adrian in the bedroom. He has already changed out of his clothes from the night before, and he is standing near the window with his phone in one hand, looking through something on the screen. His expression is calm, but after what happened at the Vault, I still feel a little guilty whenever I look at him. I hesitate at the doorway. “Adrian?” His eyes lift immediately. “What is it?” I walk into the room and close the door behind me. “Dad called me.” His expression changes. Not much. Just enough for me to notice. “When?” “This morning.” He puts his phone down. “What did he want?” I move closer to the bed and sit on the edge. “He wants me to go see him.” Adrian’s gaze remains fixed on me. “Why?” “He said there are some things my grandparents left behind that we need to discuss.” His eyes narrow slightly. “Things?” “Investments. Properties. The holding company.” The last words make his expression sharpen. I notice. “You know about the holding company,” I

    ☠️Felix☠️ The first morning without Mercury feels strange. I wake up expecting the usual calls. The usual figures. The usual pressure sitting at the back of my mind, reminding me that another payment is due, another creditor is waiting, another problem needs to be solved before it becomes a disaster. But there is nothing. The sale has gone through. The debts that were suffocating Mercury are no longer my problem. For the first time in months, I can sit in my office without staring at numbers that make my stomach turn. I pour myself a drink and stand by the window. Mercury is gone. The thought still irritates me. But I have money again. That matters more. I didn’t build my life by holding on to things simply because I was emotionally attached to them. Sometimes you lose one asset to protect everything else. And I still have plenty left. Or at least, I thought I did. My lawyer walks into the office without knocking. I turn. “You look serious.” He places a folder on my desk. “I

    ❤️Sophie❤️ The moment we step inside, I can feel the silence between us. It follows us from the car, through the open doors, and into the foyer like a third person neither of us invited. Adrian walks beside me, his expression unreadable again, but I can’t stop thinking about the way he looked at me outside the Vault. I have never seen that kind of anger in his eyes before. At least, not directed at me. And somehow, that hurts more than I expect. I stop near the staircase. “Adrian.” He stops too, but he doesn’t turn immediately. I stare at his back. For the past few minutes, I’ve been trying to convince myself that I’m not upset. That I understand why he’s angry. That I deserved it. But the truth is, I feel awful. Not because he yelled at me. He didn’t. That would almost have been easier. Instead, he spoke quietly, and somehow every controlled word made me realize how close I had come to frightening him. “I’m sorry.” His expression doesn’t change. “I know.” I lower my eyes

    ☠️Adrian☠️ I see her before she sees me. Sophie is standing near the entrance of the Vault, and for one brief second, I forget how to breathe. She shouldn’t be here. The thought hits me so hard that anger follows before I can stop it. Not because she disobeyed me. Not because she followed me. Because she walked into a place where I cannot guarantee her safety. A place where my name protects people and destroys others. A place where the rules are mine, but so are the consequences when those rules are broken. And she is standing in the middle of it. My wife. Pregnant. Alone. My jaw clenches. She finally notices me. Her eyes widen slightly. “Adrian…” I walk toward her. She watches every step. I can see the questions written across her face, but I don’t care about the questions right now. I care that she is here. “What are you doing?” My voice comes out colder than I intend. She swallows. “I came to find you.” “At the Vault?” She nods. “Why?” “I was worried.” I almost lau

    ☠️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
