Mei’s POV

Emma stood across from me with that smug smile playing on her lips like she had all the care in the world.

"Surprise."

I couldn't move, not even speak. I couldn’t do anything but stare at the face that was mine and not mine.

She will give us a child…a Lyes heir. Then we're even."Adrian was on his feet before the words finished leaving Matteo Sr.'s mouth. His chair scraped against the marble floor. "Over my dead body."Matteo Sr. then snapped his head to Adrian, his eyes cold and his tone void. "That can be arranged..boy!."The tension in the room spiked up ten fold in an instant.Augustus stood up slowly and calmly. His voice was ice when he spoke. "No."Matteo Sr.'s eyes narrowed. "Excuse me?""No," Augustus repeated. "You're not taking her. You're not touching her and you are sure as hell not getting a Lyes heir from her."Matteo Sr.'s jaw tightened. "So you are refusing our compromise?""I'm declining.” Augustus corrected. “There's a difference.""You know what this means.""I know exactly what it means. War..” the word dropped in the

    Mei’s POVAfter breakfast, my legs only took me to one place…Adrain’s door.I wasn’t exactly sure why I came here. To demand why he beat a guy half way dead over me, or to tell him I kissed his brother.

I knocked again—and again…no answer.“Screw it.”I hesitated, then pushed the door open.The moment I stepped into the room, I froze.Adrian was standing in the middle of the room half naked.He had only a towel wrapped around his waist.His chest was bare, his abs looked devilish…Gosh! His physique was insane—it looked even more muscular under the reflection of the sun.Water dripped from his hair onto his shoulders. His gray eyes found mine..and they were cold."What do you want?"I couldn't speak. My mouth was dry and for that second, it was like my brain had stopped working.He

    Mei’s POVThe sun streamed into my room, my eyes heavy as I forced them open enough to see.I barely slept all night. I waited for Adrian to come back andtelk me he didn’t do what I thought he did, but he didn’t come back…I called and texted and got nothing.I forced my legs down from the bed and stepped out of the room. I could feel a certain tension in the air.It wasn’t really something, but it was there—lingering. I could hear the servants gisting , gossiping about something that didn’t sound like good news.I walked downstairs and froze—Augustus. Vivienne. Kristof. Rory where all gathered around the living room…The tension here was so thick you could literally cut it wuth a knife.And then I saw him—Adrian was there.

About your husbands..your life…your wedding.”My breath caught sharply. My wedding!"What do you know?"“Alot.” He smiled coldly.Then, he leaned in with his lips brushing my ear."Watch your back. We wouldn't want you getting shot at again, would we?"He pulled back and walked away still tugging that smile of his.I stood frozen in the middle of the hall, my mind spinning in so many directions.Matteo Lyes, Jr.'s words echoed in my skull like a gunshot.Watch your back.

This was Adrain’s..I slept here?!I felt the other end of the bed, empty and cold—With a slow and deep sigh, I forced my legs over the bed and placed them on the cold floor.The door opened then and Adrian stepped in. His expression was cold and unreadable.The man standing in front of me, looked like a whole different person from last night…the one who touched my face warmly and promised he would never let anyone hurt me.“Good morning..” I greeted warmly.He didn’t reply. Instead, he stepped back and pulled out a leathered and packaged red gown.“Wear this?”“Why?” I asked, brows furrowed."There's a gala tonight.” His tone was clipped. “The Lyes family is hosting and we’re attending because we were invited.”I stared at him. "What?""The Lyes are old rivals of the Sinclair family. They're hosting an event and we need to be there."A cold laugh
