  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION    Chapter Eleven

    Victoria Got what she wanted ...The news spread out like wild fire ..this time around it wasn’t like the scandal about The CEO leaving Isabella on the altar ,but something bigger ..... Headlines screamed across financial outlets and gossip columns alike: Hale Distracted by Knight Reunion. This questions the Board Stability. The article painted a wild picture Gabriel Hale caught between two men, old flame Adrian Knight and ever-present colleague Daniel Cross, while Knight Enterprises threatened to topple Hale & Vega’s fragile footing in the industry.. It was less news than spectacle, but in a city addicted to scandal, perception was everything. By nine a.m., Gabriel’s office was in chaos. Assistants hurried in and out, phones ringing incessantly. He stood at the window, jaw clenched, while Daniel scrolled through his tablet, scanning the damage. They’ve got photos, Daniel said grimly. You leaving the courthouse with me. You at that café with Adrian...Daniel cringed his teeth .

  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION    Chapter Ten

    Adrian decided to meet up the next day to discuss their feelings and the case against the knights Enterprise... The café was tucked on a quiet corner of the city, where there were no lurking eyes of reporter’s and board members. Its brick walls and low amber lights created a pocket of intimacy that Adrian Knight had chosen carefully. He arrived first, dressed in a suit but with a looseness at the collar that betrayed his restless anticipation... He hadn’t seen Gabriel since that evening outside the courthouse, when tension and longing had tangled until words became inadequate. Tonight had to be different. Tonight, they had to face everything.. The door opened. Gabriel walked inside, dark coat brushing against his frame, expression guarded but betraying a flicker of something softer when his eyes met Adrian’s. “Adrian, he said in a calm but steady voice Gabriel, Adrian returned, rising to greet him. For a second, neither moved nor the years of distance collapsing into a silence

  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION    Chapter nine

    The Hale & Vega office tower loomed over the city, From the thirty-fourth floor, the city stretched endlessly. Inside, Gabriel Hale’s office was dim except for the glow of his desk lamp. He stood near the window, jacket over a chair, sleeves rolled, eyes lost in the distance. The last few days had been an unravelling Adrian Knight’s unexpected return, the fire that still burned between them despite the years apart, and now the whispers of corporate just hovering that refused to let him breathe. A soft knock interrupted his thoughts. Come in, Gabriel said without turning. The door opened, and Daniel Cross stepped inside, file in hand. Daniel was steady, a presence Gabriel had come to rely on more than he admitted. His dark hair was neatly combed, tie knotted with practiced precision, but it was his eyes always watchful, always too attentive that told the unspoken story. You’re not listening to the numbers again, "Daniel said with a faint smile, dropping the file onto the des

  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION    Chapter seven

    Adrian Knight drove through the quiet city streets with a smile he hadn’t worn in years. It was small, almost disbelieving, but it refused to fade. His hands held the steering wheel tightly, he was smiling sheepishly. as if he were holding onto the memory itself. Elias’s laugh still rang in his ears, high and pure, a sound so familiar and yet so new. For the first time in seven years, Adrian felt like he had something real. By the time he reached his penthouse, it was past midnight. He tossed his keys on the marble counter, still grinning like a man who had stumbled onto a miracle. Seven years,he whispered into the empty room. “Seven years, and I finally held my son in my arms He loosened his tie, He likes dinosaurs, he laughed to himself. God, he asked me to read him a story. Me..Adrian thought to himself still in disbelief how the evening went The thought alone sent a tear sliding down his cheek...He wiped his eyes and set down his cell phone .only to see how the notifica

  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION    chapter six :The Visit

    The knock came just after nine that night. Gabriel Vega almost didn’t answer it. He had just gotten Elias into bed, after reading two chapters of a book about dinosaurs and he knew Adrian won’t back down, and the last thing he wanted was another argument. But the knocking came again firm, steady, the kind that told him who it was before he even opened the door. Gabriel inhaled deeply and unlocked the door. Adrian Knight stood there, coat draped over one arm, eyes raw and tired. For once, he didn’t look like the man who owned boardrooms and walked red carpets. He looked like a man who had been stripped of every thing he hold dear “Gabriel,” Adrian said softly. Gabriel looked so tired he said . “It’s late. “I know. But I couldn’t leave things the way they were You should have For a moment, neither moved. Then Adrian’s eyes flickered past him, into his cozy apartment where a small pair of sneakers lay by the couch. “Please,” Adrian whispered. “Let me in “ almost looking li
