Promises We Never Forget Chapter Fifty-One: The Anniversary
Eleanor was waiting when I arrived at the hotel. She came out wearing a dark green dress that suited her beautifully. Her face lit up when she spotted me by the car.“Oh, good Lord. You clean up well. I’d marry you again on the spot if you asked,” she said.I laughed. “And here I thought you’d learned your lesson.”“Don’t blame me. You look really good.”We drove to the venue in better spirits than I'd been in earlier. It was strange how easy it was to be around her. She had seen me at my worst the night before, yet here she was, teasing me about my driving without making me feel judged.“Have you settled things with him?” she asked as we approached the second traffic light.I kept my eyes on the road.“Adrian.”“Can we not talk about this right now?”She turned towards me. “You’re still avoiding it?”“I have enough on my mind tonight, Eleanor. I don’t want to get into it.”She was quiet for a moment.“All right,” she said, looking ahead again. “But you can’t keep putting it off. If y
Promises We Never Forget Chapter Fifty : The Ex-Wife
The landline rang halfway through the partnership discussion. I glanced at the phone on my desk, surprised by the interruption. I wasn’t expecting anyone to call me at such a time, especially through the receptionist. I hoped it was important.My eyes shifted briefly to Anika, who was seated nearby. Perhaps they had tried reaching her first and, for whatever reason, decided to transfer the call directly to me.I picked up the receiver.“Cole.”“Mr. Cole, someone would like to speak with you,” the receptionist said.I said nothing. A woman’s voice came through faintly in the background, followed by a few muffled words I couldn’t make out. Then I heard the receptionist say something before the phone changed hands.“Hello, Adrian. It’s Eleanor.”I paused, then sat up with a smile spreading across my face.“Wait. Are you serious?”Her answer caught me off guard, and I laughed. I hadn’t realised how much I needed that laugh until it came. The past few days had been difficult, and I’d barel
Promises We Never Forget Chapter Forty-Nine: The Relationship
For a moment, Kai thought he had misheard him. One of his employees.He stood there, looking at Adrian, waiting for him to say something else. Anything else. Maybe introduce him properly or add something that would make the words sound less dismissive. But Adrian said nothing more.The woman smiled, seemingly unaware of the effect her question and Adrian’s answer had on him.“Oh, I see.” She turned her attention back to Adrian, her hand resting comfortably on his arm. “You didn’t tell me you had such a handsome employee, darling.”Darling. Kai almost laughed at the absurdity of it.Adrian laughed. Actually laughed. Kai felt something twist unpleasantly in his chest. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d heard Adrian laugh like that with him. These days, even getting a proper conversation out of the man felt like an achievement.“I’m sure you have plenty to tell me,” she continued, giving Adrian’s arm a gentle squeeze. “It’s been far too long.”“It has,” Adrian agreed, his expression
Promises We Never Forget Chapter Forty-Eight: Boss Mode
The next morning, Kai was preparing to leave for a site inspection with Jonathan when Adrian walked past them on his way to the conference hall.“Good morning, sir,” Kai greeted him.Adrian gave a brief response without stopping. His expression was tight, and he looked like he’d already had a long day, even though it was barely morning.Kai watched him disappear down the hall before turning back to Jonathan.He’d wanted to ask Adrian if everything was okay, but they’d barely spoken in days, and he wasn’t sure how the question would be received. He decided to leave it alone for now.The inspection took longer than expected. By the time Kai returned to the office that afternoon, he had barely enough time to settle in before the internal review began.Fourteen people were gathered around the boardroom table. The meeting was supposed to take thirty minutes at most. They would review the revised numbers, assign responsibilities to the appropriate staff, and sign off on the next stage of th
Promises We Never Forget Chapter Forty- Seven: Borrowed Time
It happened on a Tuesday. They had been in meetings all day, and by the end of it, everyone was tired and short tempered.Things between them had been different since the week before. After Kai noticed Adrian making a phone call while he was trying to enter his office, he suspected Adrian was talking to his father, Marcus. That was the only explanation Kai could think of for why Adrian’s mood had been sour for the rest of the afternoon, though he had no way of knowing what exactly had been said during the call. Marcus had been calling more often lately too, and whatever was going on, the calls seemed only to add to whatever Adrian was already carrying.That afternoon, Marcus called again while they were in a meeting. Adrian ignored the first call, keeping his attention on the discussion around the table, but when his phone rang a second time, he excused himself and stepped out into the hallway, one hand tucked into his pocket.Kai watched him through the glass wall. Adrian stood wit
Promises We Never Forget Chapter Forty-Six: What It’s Costing Him
My apartment was quiet tonight. I had gotten used to living alone when I first moved out of my parents’ house. It had never been much of a problem because Adrian was always coming around after work. Sometimes he stayed for dinner. Other times he brought work he claimed he needed to finish and ended up sprawled on top of me instead. There had always been something to look forward to, even on the most ordinary days.Lately, that had changed. Adrian was busy more often than not, and even when I went to see him, getting his attention had become harder. Calls, documents, late night zoom meetings meetings. I understood, I knew how much he carried, and I had never expected him to put his responsibilities aside for me. Still, understanding why he was busy didn’t make it any easier.I lay in bed with my phone, the lamp still on beside me. It was past midnight, and I had spent forty minutes scrolling through emails without reading a single one. Eventually, I gave up and opened my photos instea
