For a long time, neither of us spoke.

Adrian remained in my arms, his fingers still clutching the back of my dress. I could feel the occasional tremor running through his body as he struggled to regain control of himself.

Eventually, he pulled away and wiped his face with the back of his hand. He looked embarrassed, almost uncomfortable with the fact that I had witnessed him breaking down.

He reached for a handkerchief on his desk and dabbed his face before turning towards the window.

  • Nine Years Then Goodbye    Fresh Wound

    I woke up the following morning with an unusual sense of excitement.For some reason, the thought of celebrating Adrian's birthday had refused to leave my mind. I knew very little about the man, but I was beginning to understand that beneath his cold personality was someone who had spent years shutting everyone out.Perhaps a little celebration wouldn't hurt.I picked up my phone and checked the date again. His birthday was only a few days away.I sat up in bed, already thinking about how to make the day special.I didn't intend to organize anything extravagant. A small gathering, a beautifully decorated dining room, a birthday cake and a few people close to him would be enough.Then another thought crossed my mind.Adrian had mentioned introducing me to some of his investors and business partners at the company's anniversary celebration. Perhaps his birthday would also be an opportunity to meet a few of them.I knew I couldn't continue sitting around waiting for opportunities to find

  • Nine Years Then Goodbye    Unexpected Discovery

    I repeated those words in my head as I finished my coffee.For the first time in a long while, I felt genuinely excited about something that had nothing to do with revenge or the people who had hurt me.I wanted to become better. Not to make Shawn regret losing me or to prove anything to Adrian, but because I deserved a life that was entirely mine.I had spent nine years building someone else's dreams. It was time to start building my own.After paying for my coffee, I collected my shopping bags and headed towards the entrance. The driver was already waiting beside the car. He helped me with my purchases before opening the door."Are we heading home, ma'am?" he asked."Yes, please."I settled into the back seat and watched through the window as the car pulled away.When we arrived at the mansion, I thanked the driver and walked inside. The house was unusually quiet, although a few attendants were moving around, attending to their duties."Welcome back, Mrs King," one of them greeted m

  • Nine Years Then Goodbye    A woman worth becoming

    The following morning, I woke up with a strange sense of determination.I had spent too much time worrying about Adrian, his medication and the secrets surrounding his family. Yet, every time I tried to get close enough to help him, he reminded me that I had no place in his life beyond the agreement we had signed.Perhaps it was time I accepted that.I had my own battles to fight, and Shawn was still out there living comfortably, probably believing he had escaped every consequence of what he had done to me.I wasn't going to let that happen.After taking my bath, I dressed in a simple but elegant outfit, applied a little makeup and packed my handbag.For the first time since arriving at the mansion, I decided to go out simply because I wanted to do something for myself.I needed new clothes, skincare products and perhaps a few things that would make me feel better.I wasn't going to spend the rest of my life looking miserable because two men had made a mess of it.As I walked downstai

  • Nine Years Then Goodbye    A Painful Reminder

    Evelyn's words followed me long after she disappeared down the corridor.Your parents, in case you're beginning to forget.I stood there, unable to move for a moment. My fingers tightened around my phone as I stared in the direction she had gone.She had a way of reminding me that nothing in this mansion came without a price. Not the comfort, not the luxury and certainly not the protection I thought my marriage to Adrian might offer.My parents.She knew exactly where to strike.I swallowed the lump in my throat and continued towards my room.But even as I changed my clothes, my thoughts remained with Adrian.I couldn't simply pretend I hadn't discovered something suspicious about his medication. The doctor's warning was still fresh in my mind, and Evelyn's reaction only made my suspicions stronger.I needed to talk to him.Perhaps if I explained everything, he would understand that I wasn't trying to interfere in his affairs. I was only concerned about his health.The following morni

  • Nine Years Then Goodbye    A Carefully Hidden Truth

    Something was terribly wrong, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I had stumbled upon a secret nobody wanted me to discover.Early the following morning, I transferred the photographs from my phone to a folder and began searching for the names of the medications.Some of them were unfamiliar, while others were drugs I had come across during my time around medical professionals. I read through their uses and possible side effects, but the information only left me more confused.A few were commonly prescribed for nerve-related conditions. Others could cause weakness, dizziness and reduced muscle coordination when used improperly.I needed someone who could properly examine the prescriptions.By nine o'clock, I was dressed and ready to leave the mansion.I told one of the attendants I had an errand to run and asked the driver to take me to a hospital.I chose a private hospital not too far from the city centre. I didn't want to involve anyone connected to the King family, especially wh

"I'm sorry you had to see that." "You don't have to apologise for being human, Adrian." He said nothing. I returned to my seat, giving him a little space. There were so many questions I wanted to ask, but I remembered what I had promised. I wouldn't force him to talk about things he wasn't ready to share. After a while, he cleared his throat. "You should go. I have somewhere to be." I remembered Evelyn's words about the appointment. "Your appointment?" His expression immediately ch
