Adrian POV

I sat at my desk, going through documents for our investment in Bangria. The numbers were impressive. The potential was huge. But everything depended on one thing—whether Gabriel Ross and I could come to an agreement.

This morning, I received a call from Rowan, Gabriel's subordinate. He'd said they were willing to go through with the partnership. But Gabriel wanted to sit down with me one last time before making anything official.

That meant I needed to have all my ducks in a row. I needed every document perfect, the numbers accurate, and every detail in place.

I was so focused on the work in front of me that I didn't hear my secretary knock. I only looked up when Linda entered my office without waiting for permission.

I sighed in frustration. "Linda, didn't I tell you that I'm not to be disturbed today? Of all days, I told you I was busy. Why are you here?"

"I apologize, sir," Linda said, sounding nervous. "But you have a visitor. She doesn't have an appointment, and she

    Gabriel POVI turned back to face him. "Are our lawyers done reviewing the Green Valley Project? Is it safe for me to invest?"Rowan nodded. "They've approved it. All the documentation checks out. All that's left is for you to reach out to Evelyn and make the offer.""Call her office tomorrow," I instructed. "Tell them you're reaching out on my behalf. Tell them I want to discuss a significant investment opportunity and set up a meeting with whoever is in charge."“Wouldn’t it be better to have this discussion with the actual CEO present?” Dax started."She’s in the hospital,” Rowan sighed, glaring at Dax. “Just because she’s sick doesn’t mean the company needs to close down.”“Yeah,” I nodded. “Rowan take charge of the meetings, there’s somewhere I need to go by tomorrow morning with Adrian so that I won’t have the time.”“I’ll come with you, Alpha,” Dax stated.“Nope, will pass. Make yourself useful and go back to tracking those men. I want a reports on the progress. In the meantime

    Gabriel POV"You can't stay in Crescent Harbour," Dax said firmly. "It's too dangerous. Your enemies know you're here. If they find out where you're staying—""Then we'll move," Rowan interrupted, his deep voice cutting through Dax's worry. "Gabriel is staying, and that's final.""Rowan," Dax turned to my Rowan with exasperation, "this is insane. We have business in Bangria. We have operations that need his attention. We can't just abandon everything because—""Because Evelyn Bennett was almost killed?" Rowan's voice was filled with impatience. "Because someone planted a bomb in her car? Because she's lying in a hospital bed fighting for her life?"Rowan stepped closer to Dax, his long frame casting a shadow over the smaller man. "For the first time, Gabriel is going to take responsibility for his actions. If it turns out that Evelyn was targeted because of her association with him, then the least he can do is stay and make sure nothing else happens to her."I wasn't really listening

    Adrian POV"I'm not in the mood, Isabella," I said, stepping back from her."Not in the mood?" she pouted, following me as I moved away. "Come on, Adrian. Don't you want to feel better? I can make you feel so much better."She reached for me again, her hands trying to pull me closer, but I sidestepped her."I said I'm not in the mood," I repeated, my voice harder now. "Just... leave me alone tonight, okay?"Isabella's face darkened. "You never have time for me anymore," she complained, her voice taking on a whiny quality that made my irritation spike even higher. "I'm always here for you, and you're always too busy. What am I, Adrian? Am I just some decoration? Some plaything you can ignore whenever you feel like it?""Are you a baby?" I snapped, my patience finally wearing thin. "Can you not see that I'm busy right now? That I have things on my mind?""Oh, yes," Isabella said, her voice turning bitter. "I can see exactly what you're busy with. Is it Evelyn, right? You don’t have time

    Adrian POVI tossed the car keys to the butler as soon as I stopped in front of the Whitmore mansion. I didn't even wait for him to open the door. I just got out and headed straight inside, my mind a tangled mess of thoughts and feelings I didn't understand.I couldn't be alone tonight. If I were alone, I knew I would lose my mind replaying everything. The phone call, the rush to the hospital, the sight of Evelyn lying in that ICU bed, connected to machines, fighting for her life.I needed anything to keep my thoughts from spiralling into darkness.As I walked into the house, my mother, who was lounging in the sitting room with a book on her favourite chair, looked up. When she saw it was me, she closed the book and rushed to me, her eyes were wide and searching.“Adrian,” she said urgently, gripping my arm as she reached me. “What I hear about Evelyn, is it true? Is she really in the hospital? Is it really as serious as the news is saying?"I nodded, too tired to even lie or soften t

    Vincent POVThis was not an accident, nor was it a coincidence. Someone had deliberately planted a bomb in her car with the intent to kill her.And I didn't even know why or who would want to hurt her like this.Adrian started pacing again, and I could see his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides."Do you know who did this?" I asked Gabriel, looking up at him."No," Gabriel said. "But I have my people investigating. We'll find out.""Was it your enemies?" I asked, anger creeping into my voice. "Did you bring this down on her?"Gabriel stared at me for a few seconds.“Mr Hayes, why are you speaking to me so casually? Do we know each other?” He asked, giving me a cold smile.“We know each other’s names, that’s enough introduction. This is happening a few days after Evelyn had breakfast with you. Didn’t you get into a squabble with…”“Wait!” Adrian interrupted me, walking to where we stood. His gaze was on Gabriel, whose brow was arched in amusement. “You already had breakfast wi

    Vincent POVI was halfway through reviewing a shipment manifest when a knock sounded on my door.“Come in,” I said, still scanning the numbers on the page.The door opened, and I raised my head to see my secretary walking in. She had a strange expression on her face.“What’s up?”"Have you seen the latest news?" she replied instead, her voice was tight.I shook my head and looked up from my papers. "What happened?"She didn’t say anything, she just dropped her tablet in front of me without a word and turned the screen toward me.I froze.The headline was in bold letters across the screen: "Bennett CEO Evelyn Bennett in Critical Condition After Car Explosion - Suspected Bomb."For a moment, I couldn’t process the words. I read the lines over and over again, trying to understand what they meant. My chest felt hollow like all the air had been sucked out at once.“What?” I breathed. My hands shook as I picked up the tablet and read the article."Evelyn Bennett, CEO of Bennett Corporation
