The black SUV pulled up to the private entrance of the Sterling Tower with a silent, predatory smoothness. Lila sat in the back seat, her body rigid, her hand still clutched tightly in Aiden’s. She watched the city pass by through tinted windows, Manhattan was no longer a skyline; it was the bars of a cage.

  • Married To My Fiancé's Enemy    Chapter 62: Back Home

    The black SUV pulled up to the private entrance of the Sterling Tower with a silent, predatory smoothness. Lila sat in the back seat, her body rigid, her hand still clutched tightly in Aiden’s. She watched the city pass by through tinted windows, Manhattan was no longer a skyline; it was the bars of a cage. When the elevator doors opened directly into the penthouse, Lila felt the air leave her lungs. The space was a sprawling expanse of white marble, dark wood, and floor-to-ceiling glass that made the city look like a toy at Adrian’s feet. It was beautiful, expensive, and utterly heartless. "Where are my things?" Lila demanded, her voice echoing in the vast, quiet foyer. "In your room," Adrian replied, his voice a low, casual drawl. He didn't look back at her as he walked toward the living area, shedding his suit jacket and tossing it onto a designer chair. Lila followed him, her heels clicking sharply against the marble. "I want my bags sent to a guest suite, Adrian. Immediately

    The morning sun over Manhattan was unforgiving. It hit the windows of the St. Regis with a blinding glare that felt like an interrogation light. Lila stood in front of the vanity mirror, her movements mechanical. She was dressing for a funeral, even if the world thought she was dressing for a meeting. She chose a charcoal-grey suit, sharper than the blue one, colder. She looked like the Shark. But when she caught her own reflection in the eyes, she saw the girl who used to hide under Adrian’s sheets just to hear him breathe. "Mommy? Are we going to see the tall man again?" Aiden stood in the doorway of the bedroom, dressed in his little blazer and trousers. He looked like a miniature version of the man she was about to face. Lila knelt down, her heart breaking as she straightened his collar. "Yes, baby. We have to go talk to him. He’s... he’s a very important man." "Is he a king?" Aiden asked, tilting his head with that same arrogant curiosity Adrian possessed. "He acts like a

    The elevator ride down from the Sterling Global executive floor felt like a descent into a different kind of hell. Lila leaned her forehead against the cool metal wall, her breath coming in shallow, jagged hitches. The scent of Adrian, that heavy, intoxicating mix of sandalwood and cold ambition, was still burned into her skin, a physical brand she couldn't scrub off.She wasn't Elena Vance anymore. That woman, the sharp-tongued shark of London, had died the moment Adrian’s eyes met Aiden’s. Now, she was just Lila again, the girl who had run away with a heartbeat in her womb and a hole in her soul, and she was terrified.When she reached the lobby, the humid New York air hit her like a slap. She didn't wait for a car; she hailed a yellow cab, her hands shaking so violently she could barely pull the door shut."St. Regis," she croaked.As the cab lurched into the midtown traffic, she stared out the window at the blurred faces of a million strangers. None of them knew that her world had

    The air in the boardroom turned thick and sour, the kind of heavy silence that makes your ears ring. Adrian didn’t move an inch. His hand stayed clamped on Lila’s waist, his fingers digging into the fabric of her blazer so hard she could feel the heat of his palm through the layers. He wasn't looking at the documents anymore. He was staring at Aiden, and for a second, the mask of the untouchable Titan cracked, revealing a man who looked like he’d just been hit by a freight train.Aiden didn’t flinch. He didn't hide behind Chris’s leg like most four-year-olds would. He stood there with his small shoulders squared, those silver eyes, eyes that were a direct, haunting theft from the man holding his mother, tracking Adrian with a steady, eerie focus."He’s four, isn't he, Lila?" Adrian’s voice was barely a whisper, a rough vibration against her ear that made her skin crawl. "Do the math for me. Because the last time I touched you was exactly four years and nine months ago."Lila felt her

    The boardroom of Sterling Global.Adrian Sterling sat at the head of the table, ruling his kingdom with a terrifying, casual power. He leaned back in his leather chair, spinning a silver pen between his fingers, appearing bored, but his eyes were lethal. Then, the doors swung open. Lila. Elena walked in majestically. She carried herself with a sharp, lethal grace, her heels clicking against the marble floor like a countdown. Her midnight-blue suit hug her every curves that seems to have improved with the years, the blouse tightening close to her chest revealing the flush of her smooth cleavages. And she held her chin high, meeting the room’s heavy silence with a gaze of pure ice. Adrian’s breath hitched. A sharp, burning sensation flared in his chest, one he hadn’t felt in four years. She looked sharper, extremely beautiful than he had remembered. Colder. But that defiant tilt of her chin was exactly the same, and it sent a surge of possessive heat straight to his gut. "You’re la

    The office of Harrison & Associates overlooked the heart of London’s financial district, but for Lila Vance, it felt like the walls were closing in. Across the mahogany desk sat Sir Alistair Harrison, the senior partner whose approval was usually the fuel for her ambition. Today, however, his words felt like a death sentence."It’s non-negotiable, Elena," Alistair said, leaning back in his leather chair with a satisfied smile. "The acquisition is the biggest deal this firm has seen in a decade. The Americans are specific. They’ve seen your work on the preliminary litigation, they called your cross-examination of the subsidiary board 'surgical.' They want the 'Shark' in the room for the final signing. You’re going to New York."The name New York hit Lila like a physical blow. For four years, she had treated that city like a radioactive zone, a place that existed only in her nightmares and the sharp, silver glint of her son’s eyes."Alistair, I can’t," she said, her voice tight, nearly

    The house was too quiet. It was the kind of silence that made your ears ring and your skin crawl. Lila sat in the dark, staring at the walls, feeling like a fly caught in a very expensive spiderweb. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw her father’s face in that video. Every time she took a breat

    The glass doors of Sterling Corp threw open as Lila majestically walks in; She looked like a woman who had just inherited the sun. She was dressed in a razor-sharp, white power suit that clung to her curves like a second skin, her hair slicked back into a fierce, low bun. Her heels clicked against

    The East Wing of the Sterling penthouse was a very lonely place. It was decorated in shades of dark grey and silver, a cold and quiet reflection of the man who had built it. For Lila, it didn't feel like a luxury apartment; it felt like a cage where she was meant to be forgotten. The sprawling room

    The world outside the Sterling penthouse was screaming for blood, but inside, Adrian had engaged the security blackout. No phones. No alerts. No Julian. For the first time since the contract was signed, the vault was closed, and the only two people in the world were the master and his masterpiece.
