Priced By My Billionaire Nemesis Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Seven -The Time We Were Strangers
Adrian shifted slightly beside me.For a long moment he had not spoken. The tension in his body remained contained, held beneath the quiet discipline that had always defined him. Yet something must have changed in my face because suddenly his hand moved.His fingers lifted gently to my cheek.Only then did I realize there were tears there.I had not felt them forming. They had slipped down quietly while I spoke, tracing slow lines across my skin before gathering near my jaw.Adrian’s thumb brushed one of them away with careful tenderness.His brow tightened slightly as he looked down at me.“You do not have to continue,” he said softly.The words carried no pressure. Only concern.His gaze searched my face as if measuring whether the story was pulling me somewhere too painful to remain steady.“We can stop here.”I watched him for a second without answering.The instinct to retreat was there. The past had already opened enough wounds for one night, and the quiet safety of his arms mad

The room remained still after my last words.Adrian did not move away. His arm stayed beneath my head, firm and steady, while the other remained around my waist, holding me close against him as though the distance of ten years could somehow be closed by the pressure of his body alone.For a moment neither of us spoke.I could feel the quiet strength of his breathing beneath my cheek, the steady rise and fall of his chest. The rhythm grounded me in the present while the memory tried to pull me backward again.“I remember the room becoming very quiet,” I said finally.Adrian’s hand tightened slightly around my waist.“Not silent,” I corrected softly. “But quiet in a strange way. The music from the party still existed somewhere beyond the walls, but it sounded muffled, as if it were happening inside another building.”The memory unfolded slowly.“I remember lying there on the bed trying to focus on the ceiling. There was a small crack in the paint near the light fixture and I kept starin

The room remained quiet after my last words.Adrian did not interrupt. His arm stayed around my waist and his other arm remained beneath my head, holding me close against him. I could feel the tension in his body, the stillness that came from someone forcing himself not to react too quickly to something he could not yet undo.For a few seconds I did not continue.The memory had already begun to press against my chest, heavy and uncomfortable, like a door that had stayed closed for years and now refused to remain shut.I inhaled slowly.“I remember the hallway first,” I said quietly.Adrian’s hand moved slightly against my waist but he did not speak.“The music from the party sounded far away by then. It was still loud, but it no longer felt connected to where I was. Everything felt distant.”I paused, searching for the right way to explain something that had never fully made sense even while it was happening.“My thoughts were slow. Not confused exactly, but heavy. Like trying to thin

Adrian did not move away after asking me to continue.Instead he shifted slightly against the headboard and drew me closer to him, guiding me with quiet patience until I rested against his side. His arm slid beneath my head with steady care, forming a solid support for my neck and shoulders, while his other arm wrapped around my waist and held me gently against him. The movement felt natural, almost instinctive, as though his body had already decided the place I belonged before either of us had time to think about it.I let myself settle there without resisting.The warmth of him steadied something inside me that had been trembling since the moment I began speaking about the past. His breathing moved slowly beneath my cheek, a calm rhythm that grounded me in the present even while my thoughts drifted toward memories I had not allowed myself to examine this closely in years.For several seconds neither of us spoke. The room remained quiet except for the faint hum of the bedside lamp an

Lena remained quiet for a few seconds after the last sentence, as if measuring how much of the past she had already unfolded. Adrian did not rush her. His hand remained around hers, steady and patient, while the quiet of the room held the memory she had just revealed.She shifted slightly against the pillows before continuing.“That was the situation when you entered my life.”Adrian watched her carefully.Her answer came calmly.“Then I met you.”The faintest smile touched her lips as she turned her head slightly toward him.“You probably do not remember it the same way I do.”Adrian’s brow lifted slightly.“Tell me.”Lena allowed herself a small breath of quiet amusement before continuing.“It was during a guest lecture at the technology faculty. Something about interactive learning software.”Recognition flickered faintly across Adrian’s expression.“The education department encouraged first year students to attend it,” she continued. “Our professors were beginning to talk about ho

Lena kept her eyes closed for a moment longer after agreeing to speak. Adrian did not interrupt the silence. He remained beside her, his hand still holding hers, his patience steady and unpressured. The room felt warm and quiet around them, the soft glow of the bedside lamp turning the sheets and wooden furniture into gentle shades of gold.When she finally opened her eyes again, the hesitation that had lingered there earlier had changed into something calmer. The decision had been made. She would tell him everything. But the place where that story truly began was not the night she left Adrian’s apartment. It began much earlier.She shifted slightly against the pillows and turned her head toward him.“If I am going to tell you what happened, then I have to start before the time I knew you.”Adrian did not appear surprised by that. He nodded once, encouraging her to continue without interruption.“All right.”Lena looked toward the ceiling for a moment, searching her memory for the beg
