2026-06-04 18:55:00ADRIAN POV.
The next morning came too fast, Vera was already in the penthouse, dressed like she was walking a runway—extravagant, over-the-top, and clearly aiming to impress. But I couldn’t care less. My mind was elsewhere, far from the charade in front of me. Lilian, of course, was all smiles as she hugged Vera tightly. “Oh, Vera, I’m going to miss you so much!” Even my sister couldn't see that I was happy or she pretended not to notice. “If it w

Love beyond Numbers When you get back, the wedding date will be set
Adrian’s POV. FRIDAY. I was in my room, packing for the event in Seattle. Suits, ties, shoes—all laid out on the bed. I couldn't help but smile a little. This trip was going to be special. Not just because of the event but because Katherine and Charlotte were coming along. As I folded a shirt, the door swung open. Vera stood there, arms crossed, looking at me with that sharp gaze of hers. “You look so happy. Why are you so happy?” she asked, her voice cutting through the room like ice. I frowned, glancing up at her. “What do you mean?” She tilted her head, eyes narrowing. “Is it because you're going out with your mistress?” Mistress? I knew she was talking about Katherine. She was fishing for something. “You have no proof,” I said calmly, turning back to my packing. “Whatever you're thinking, it’s just in your head.”
Love beyond Numbers This is unbelievable
Katherine’s POV. I shook my head firmly. “No, Adrian. I can't go this weekend. It's Charlotte's birthday, and we're just starting to get along again.” I continued. “It wouldn't feel right to abandon her and leave for days.” Adrian's eyes widened in surprise. “Wait, Charlotte's birthday is this weekend?” he asked. “She shares the same birthday as Mr. Sterling's twins?” I nodded slowly. “Yes, they do. It's this Saturday.” A big smile spread across his face. “Katherine, do you really think I'd let you miss Charlotte's birthday?” I blinked at him, confused. “What do you mean?” “Charlotte is coming with us,” Adrian said simply like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “We'll all go to Seattle together. What's wrong with having a three-in-one celebration?” “The project event, Mr. Sterling's twins' birthday, and
Love beyond Numbers Why does she resent you so much?
Katherine’s POV. Adrian spent the whole afternoon with us and it was time for him to go home. I walked him to his car, the cool breeze making me pull my sweater tighter around me. He leaned against the driver's door, hands in his pockets, a soft smile on his face. “Thank you,” I said, my voice quiet. “For today. For... everything. You really made her happy.” He shrugged casually, but I could see the satisfaction in his eyes. “It was my pleasure. She deserved it.” For a moment, we stood there in silence. I could tell he had something on his mind. He glanced at me, then away, as if unsure if he should say it. Finally, he spoke. “Why does she resent you so much, Katherine?” His voice was gentle, not prying, just concerned. “I mean, I know you guys have had a tough time, but... it feels like there's more to it.” I felt my c
Love beyond Numbers I want to shop at the Gucci store
Adrian’s POV. I looked at Charlotte, trying to understand all the anger she was carrying. It wasn’t just about the fight with Katherine. There was something more, something deeper that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. And then, she said it, just out of the blue. “It felt like... it felt like you were moving on and leaving Dad behind.” I blinked, glancing at Katherine, but she wasn’t meeting my eyes. This was the first I’d heard of it. Katherine had never mentioned anything about what went on with Charlotte's dad. My mind raced with questions, but I held them back. This wasn't the time to push for answers. Not yet. Charlotte turned to me, her expression softening. “I’m sorry you’re going through that phase with your family, Adrian,” she said quietly. Her words caught me off guard, but I smiled and nodded. “Thank you,” I replied
Love beyond Numbers You hit her?
KATHERINE POV. It had been two days since I slapped Charlotte. Two days of her locking herself in her room and not speaking to me. Every time I tried to talk to her, she just turned her back or shut the door in my face. My heart ached. I knew what I did was wrong, but she wouldn't even let me apologize. I was fed up. I didn’t know what else to do. I wanted to make things right, but how could I if she refused to talk to me? I felt helpless, like I was losing my own daughter. Adrian noticed. He always noticed. He came over this evening, took one look at me, and knew something was off. “Katherine,” he said gently, sitting beside me on the couch. “What's going on? You look like you haven’t slept in days.” I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I didn’t want to burden him with this, but I couldn’t keep it in anymore. “It’s Charlotte,” I admitted. “She... she
Love beyond Numbers I want the wedding this year
ADRIAN’S POV. I leaned against the terrace railing, staring up at the stars. They were scattered across the sky, so quiet and out of reach. I took a deep breath, letting the cool night air fill my lungs. My mind drifted back to earlier that day, to Katherine's living room, to the moment she told Charlotte that I was her boyfriend. I felt a mix of emotions just thinking about it. Katherine had been so brave, standing there, telling her daughter the truth. She didn’t hide or hesitate. She was proud of us, of what we had. And me? I felt proud, too. But there was something else, something that made my stomach twist with guilt. How could I feel proud when I was still keeping her a secret from my own family? I denied her. And here I was, standing on this terrace, hiding from the truth like a coward. Footsteps behind me broke through my thoughts. I turned around and saw Mom s

Katherine’s POV. Adrian stood up, giving her a friendly smile. “Hey, Charlotte, I’m Adrian,” he said casually. Charlotte's eyes darted between Adrian and me, her face unreadable. I felt my heart pounding in my chest, wishing I could disappear. She

ADRIAN POV.I swirled the whiskey in my glass, watching the amber liquid catch the light before raising it to my lips. The burn was sharp, grounding, a perfect counterpoint to the whirlwind in my head. At 27, I had closed the biggest deal of my life—a merger that would push Sterling Enterprises in
Love beyond Numbers A night to forget
KATHERINE POV.I stared at the wineglass in my hand, the deep red liquid swirling lazily as I tipped it back and forth. The TV hummed softly in the background, a rerun of some sitcom I wasn’t paying attention to. The apartment felt cavernous, even though it was barely big enough to hold my couch,
