The ride back was quiet, almost too quiet. The soft hum of the car engine filled the space, but it did nothing to ease the weight sitting heavily on Adaline's chest. She leaned slightly against the seat, her fingers resting loosely on her lap as her thoughts ran endlessly in circles.

Every decision she had made in the past few days now stood before her, demanding answers she did not have. Had she made the right choice by staying with Ronan? Or had she just walked away from the only chance she

  • Owned By my father's Enemy    Almost Exposed

    Adaline stepped out of the study, her movements controlled but her mind anything but calm, and she turned toward the staircase, intending to retreat to the safety of her room, to put distance between herself and the weight of everything that had just happened, but before she could take more than a few steps, Mrs Margareta's voice stopped her gently.She turned back, her expression composed, though her heart was still racing beneath the surface.Mrs Margareta looked at her thoughtfully, as if recalling something she had almost forgotten, and then spoke, mentioning the question Adaline had asked earlier about the presence of security cameras in the house.Adaline nodded slowly, her chest tightening slightly as anticipation crept in.Mrs Margareta continued, saying that she had remembered something, that there might actually be a camera in the study room, though she could not say for certain because it had been a long time and she was not entirely sure anymore.The words hit Adaline hard

  • Owned By my father's Enemy    When Trust Turns Cold

    By the time Ronan arrived home, evening had already settled into the quiet corners of the house, wrapping everything in a stillness that felt heavier than usual. The moment he stepped inside, he noticed it immediately, the silence. It was not the peaceful kind, but the kind that lingered, as though something had shifted in his absence.He had barely taken a step further when Mrs Margareta emerged from the kitchen, her face lighting up as soon as she saw him. She greeted him warmly, her voice carrying the comfort of familiarity, and he responded with a simple nod, his expression calm but distant.She told him to freshen up and come down for dinner soon, mentioning that the food would be ready shortly, and he nodded again before asking about Adaline, his tone casual but carrying a quiet expectation. He specifically asked if she was in the kitchen, already certain of the answer.Mrs Margareta smiled knowingly and told him she was not.He nodded and headed upstairs without another word, h

  • Owned By my father's Enemy    The End Of What Was

    Ella walked into the room and found Camilla in a state she had rarely seen before, restless and frantic, moving from one side of the wardrobe to the other as if time itself was chasing her, dresses pulled out and discarded without care, heels scattered across the floor, jewelry boxes left open on the bed. Ella sat down slowly, watching her for a moment, trying to understand what could possibly have her this unsettled when she had only just returned from a trip not long ago."Are you going somewhere again?"Camilla did not respond, not even a glance in her direction, as if the question was too insignificant to deserve an answer, instead she turned abruptly, holding up a dress in front of her body, her eyes sharp and expectant."Is this good?"Ella frowned slightly, confusion written all over her face as she studied the dress without fully understanding the urgency behind the question, and before she could even give a proper response, Camilla turned away again, already dismissing her o

  • Owned By my father's Enemy    Too Close To The Truth

    Adaline searched through the contents of the safe with careful precision, her fingers trembling slightly as she flipped through each document, her eyes scanning every word with intense focus so she would not miss even the smallest detail, her heart beating so loudly in her chest that it felt as though it might give her away at any moment, yet she could not stop, not now, not when she was this close to uncovering the truth she had been denied for years.She pushed aside one file and reached for another, her breathing uneven as she opened it, and then she froze.The name. It was the same hospital.The exact same one from the message Tyler had sent.Her throat went dry instantly as she stared at it, her fingers tightening around the document as a cold realization began to settle in, heavier and more terrifying than anything she had imagined. Slowly, almost afraid of what she would find, she began to open the file fully, her eyes moving across the page as she tried to confirm if it was t

  • Owned By my father's Enemy    The Truth She Was Never Meant To See

    Adaline woke up the next morning to the soft vibration of her phone against the bedside table. Still half asleep, she stretched her hand across the surface until her fingers found it. She squinted at the screen, expecting something ordinary, but the moment her eyes adjusted and she read the message, all traces of sleep vanished instantly. She sat upright, her heart beginning to pound as the words sank in.The message contained medical records. Detailed records. Her mother's name was written clearly at the top, followed by hospital documentation, dates, and an autopsy report. Her fingers trembled as she scrolled.Poison.Her mother had not died from an illness.The report stated that the cause of death was consistent with Arsenic poisoning, administered in gradual doses over time.Adaline's breath caught in her throat. That was not possible.Her mind rejected it immediately, but the documents were too detailed, too structured to be fabricated so easily. Her chest tightened painfully

Or had she just walked away from the only chance she had at freedom?A soft sigh escaped her lips.She did not even realize she had done it until Ronan's voice cut through the silence."You seem to be hiding something from me, Adaline."Her head snapped toward him immediately, her heart jumping in her chest. For a brief moment, panic flashed across her face before she forced it down. No. Not now. He must not know. Not until she finds the truth herself.She quickly arranged her expression and gave him a small, nervous smile."I am not hiding anythi
