Adrian's POV

The knock on my door was soft, but the moment I opened it, Rosie's face told me something was wrong.

"What is it?" I asked in concern.

"Your mother wants to see you. Now." Rosie's eyes flicked away from mine, like she didn't want to be the one delivering the message.

"Now?" I said, because I want to confirm.

She nodded immediately.

I didn't waste time asking more questions. I knew that tone. I rushed down the hallway, my mind already running through every possible disaster, and fou

  • LOVING THE WRONG BRIDE   CHAPTER 95:

    Adrian's POVI never slept.I sat at my desk until the sky outside turned grey. Scarlett's words circled in my head like a vulture.“Why can't you come to bed?”I didn't respond to her.Suddenly, a knock hit the door. Three hard knocks."Come in."Mark stepped inside. Two security men followed him, their eyes red from the long night's work."Sir," Mark said. "We traced the number."I stood so fast my chair rolled back. "Where is he?" I murmured."His phone is active in a town called Ridgemont. It's about an hour from here.""Then why do you look like that?"Mark shifted. "Because Ridgemont is not an ordinary town, sir. It is a private estate district. Armed patrols. Cameras on every street. Even the gates are guarded. Strangers don't get past the first checkpoint.""So?""So we can't just drive in. If we make one mistake, they will know we are coming."I almost smiled. It was a tired smile, but it came from somewhere deep."Mark, relax. You know me. Have I ever walked into a place I c

  • LOVING THE WRONG BRIDE   CHAPTER 94:

    Adrian's POVI can't help myself as the phone slipped from my hand and hit the floor.I didn't pick it up. I stared at the screen, cracked now, still glowing with Julian's last message.*So you think you will waste the lives of my sisters and still go free?*My chest tightened. I knew Julian would not take it lightly.I grabbed my phone and walked out. I dropped the room key on the front desk. The receptionist called after me, "Sir, should I tell Mr. Marcus..."I was already gone.I drove like a madman. Red lights meant nothing. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Julian's voice.*Explain what? You fool.*When I pulled into the compound, the house was dark except for one light upstairs. The guest room.Scarlett's room.I clenched my jaw and went straight to my study. Then I sat down and called Tim and Mark.They came in ten minutes. Tim wore a wrinkled shirt, as if I had dragged him from bed. Mark, my head of security, walked in behind him, calm as stone."Sir," Tim said. "What happe

    Adrian's POVI walked out of the house and dropped into my car. My hands gripped the steering wheel, but I didn't start the engine.“Where will I meet her?” I asked myself quietly.I had called her phone many times. All not available. She had blocked me.I pressed my forehead against the wheel. "Think, Adrian. Think."She had no friends. She had no money and refused to collect the compensation from me. The only person left in her life was… I sat up.*Julian.*Her brother. She had mentioned him several times, months ago. He ran a hotel. I had barely listened. Back then, I only half-listened to everything she said.Now I would give anything to hear it again.I called Dan, my old friend. He picked up on the second ring."Adrian? It's…...""I need a favour. Julian Hart. He owns a hotel. Can you find it?""Isabella's brother? Why?""Just find it, Dan."He was quiet. Then he said, "Give me two hours."It took him ninety minutes. When my phone buzzed, I read the message twice.*J. Hart Ltd

  • LOVING THE WRONG BRIDE   CHAPTER 92:

    Adrian's POVSince Isabella left, my mother has been disturbing me for four days now. She kept asking me whether I had found her.Found her?"Mother, we are divorced.""I don't care what the paper says."She walked away before I could answer. I sat there until midnight, staring at the wall.Now it was morning, and I still had no answers from Tim and Mark.I pressed the intercom. "Send in Mr. Tim and Mark Donald."They came in fast. Mark kept his eyes on the floor. Tim stood straight, but his jaw was tight. That told me everything before either of them spoke."Report," I said.Tim cleared his throat. "Sir, we are still working on it."“Working on it. For how long?”"I gave you an assignment. Find Isabella. How hard is it to find her?""She doesn't use her old phone, sir. No bank card. No taxi app. It's like she's trying to disappear.""She is not trying," I said. "She is succeeding. That is the problem."Mark shifted on his feet. Tim didn't. He looked at me for a long moment, and I kne

    Isabella's POV "Which country did you choose?"Julian hesitated. "Japan. Tokyo first, then wherever she wants after.""No one we know is there."I couldn't stay quiet anymore. "Excuse me. Am I invisible?"Both men turned."You're discussing my life like I'm a parcel," I said. "You're picking where I go, when I go, and what name I use. Doesn't anyone want to ask what I think?"Julian's jaw tightened. "Isabella—""No. Let me finish." My voice shook. Do you ask me if I want to go?” Silence stretched between us.Uncle Cole set down his pen. He looked at me for a long time, and then, very slowly, he looked at Julian."You haven't told her?""Isabella, I'm doing this for your good.” Julian said."Wait until I accept before you proceed with the process.”“Don't worry, everything will be fine.” Julian murmured as he looked at Uncle.Uncle just nodded at him."Isabella, my dear. I heard about the divorce, and your brother is right in this decision.” Uncle said.My heart pounded. Right? I jus

    Isabella's POV "You are." He insisted."I have things I need to finish here. I have—" I stopped. I had almost said it, Adrian. His name sat on my tongue like a stone. The pregnancy.Julian noticed. Of course, he noticed. His face went still."Isabella," he said quietly. "Everything you think you have here is not what it seems.""That's not an answer.""It's the only one I can give you tonight."I pushed back my chair. "Then give me a better one."He didn't move.I glared at him. He glared back. Neither of us blinked.Finally, he reached into the pocket of his jacket, which hung over the back of his chair, and pulled out a thin folder. He slid it across the table."Open it."My fingers were cold as I lifted the cover.Inside was a passport. My photo. My name.But the date of birth was not there. Of course, my father's name is correct.Underneath it was a flight itinerary, one way, departing in three days."Julian," I breathed, "whose name is this?"He looked at me with a face I had ne
