Sophia woke to the sound of rain against the windows.

For a few seconds, she remained still.

Ethan's arm rested loosely around her waist, his breathing slow and steady beside her.

She turned her head and looked at him. The memories of the night before returned slowly.

The dinner, the laughter and the way Ethan had looked at her when they had forgotten, even for a few hours, that their lives were surrounded by secrets

Just the two of them.

A small smile touched her lips.

    Daniel stared at the photograph on his screen, He had been looking at it for almost five minutes. Ethan's father stood outside Sterling Holdings, younger than Daniel remembered seeing him in the old company photographs and Adrian stood beside him. Then behind them, almost hidden by the shadow of a parked vehicle, was another man,daniel zoomed in but the image became grainy. He zoomed in again, the man's face was barely visible but something about him bothered Daniel. He had seen that face before, not in the old Sterling records, not in the security reports. Somewhere else. Daniel opened the file the young man had sent him. The payment record, then the archive access history, and then the identity attached to the temporary account used to access the system. The information was incomplete but one detail had survived, a name. Daniel read it once then again. His expression changed. “No.” He leaned closer to the screen and it displayed NOAH HAYES. Daniel sat back,"Hayes". He

The dinner, the laughter and the way Ethan had looked at her when they had forgotten, even for a few hours, that their lives were surrounded by secrets Just the two of them. A small smile touched her lips. Ethan stirred and his eyes opened slowly. The first thing he saw was her. “Why are you smiling?” Sophia immediately looked away, “I wasn't.” “You were.” “I was thinking.” “About me?” She looked back at him,“Maybe.” A faint smile appeared on his lips. “I'll accept that.” Sophia laughed softly,Ethan pulled her closer. For a moment, neither of them spoke. The rain continued tapping against the glass. It felt strange yet peaceful. Sophia rested her head against his chest. “I wish we could stay like this

    Ethan stared at the document on the screen.For several seconds, he didn't move. Sophia stood beside him, waiting.“What is the name?”Ethan looked at her.“Richard Hale.”Sophia frowned.“Hale?”“Yes.”“Is he related to Victor?”“I don't know.”Ethan opened the document again. Richard Hale's name appeared on the ownership transfer.Below it was an old registration number and a date.Six months after Ethan's father's death.Sophia leaned closer.“Was he an employee of Sterling Holdings?”“No.”“Then how was he connected to your father?”Ethan shook his head.“That is what we need to find out.”Sophia sighed.“Then let's keep looking.”Ethan looked at her and noticed she was tired. He could see it in her face and the dark circles beneath her eyes.The way she kept rubbing her fingers together whenever she was thinking. The way she had barely eaten since the previous night.Ethan closed the laptop.Sophia stared at him.“What are you doing?”“Nothing.”She frowned.“You just closed it while

    Sophia stared at the empty street through the window, many thoughts racing through her mind especially the part of her mother being watched.Someone had followed her and whoever had taken the photograph knew that Sophia and Ethan were investigating.She turned toward Ethan.“What if they come back?”Ethan looked at her.“They won't get close to her.”“You can't promise that.”“No.”His answer was quiet.“But I can make sure we're prepared if they try.”Sophia looked down at her phone.“I need to speak to my mother.”Ethan nodded.“Call her.”Sophia dialed.Her mother answered after a few rings.“Hello?”“Mum, are you okay?”There was a short pause.“Yes. Why?”Sophia looked at Ethan.“Did you notice anything strange today?”“Strange?”“Anyone following you? A strange car?”“No.”Sophia exhaled slowly.“Are you sure?”“Yes. Sophia, what's happening?”Sophia didn't know what to say.She couldn't tell her mother everything.Not yet.“I just wanted to make sure you're okay.”Her mother's

    Ethan stared at the message on his phone. WE KNOW YOU FOUND HIM. For several seconds, he said nothing. Sophia watched his face. “What does it mean?” Ethan looked at the photograph again. The man standing across the street was the same person Daniel had found in the old Sterling Holdings records. The same man who had been watching her mother. Whoever had taken the photograph knew what they had found. More importantly, they knew Ethan was investigating. “They know about us,” Ethan said. Sophia's expression tightened. “Who?” “I don't know.” She looked at the photograph. “Could it be Vanessa?” “Maybe.” “You don't sound convinced.” “Because Vanessa wanted you frightened. This feels different.” Sophia looked at him. “How?” “Whoever sent this didn't threaten you.” Ethan turned the phone toward her. “They wanted me to know they were watching.” Sophia swallowed. “That is supposed to make me feel better?” “No.” He placed the phone on the table. “It was never meant to

  • MARRIED TO MY RUTHLESS CEO    CHAPTER 56: THE FACE ON THE SCREEN

    Daniel replayed the security footage for the third time. The image was not perfect. The camera was positioned high above the gate, and the man's face had been partly hidden by the darkness. But when the car moved beneath the light, his features became visible for a few seconds. Daniel paused the footage. There he was. Daniel leaned closer to the screen, he opened a file then another. The man's face appeared in several old security reports connected to Sterling Holdings. Daniel's expression changed because he had seen him before not recently but years ago. He searched the database again, this time using the vehicle's registration number.The result appeared almost immediately. Daniel stared at the screen. The car had been registered to a private security company that had once worked for Sterling Holdings. That alone would not have been enough but the company had been used during the period surrounding Ethan's father's death. Daniel picked up his phone. He called Ethan. Et
