Weeks drifted by after the surprise party soft, golden weeks filled with the kind of quiet that Adrian once believed he would never earn again. The house that had once echoed with tension now felt alive laughter in the kitchen, the patter of Elias’s feet on the stairs, the low hum of Gabriel’s voice when he read in the evenings. It was peace not the weak temporary kind that came between storms, but something deeper, truer.

Adrian woke every morning with Gabriel’s warmth pressed against him, the faint sunlight spilling through the curtains, their breaths falling into rhythm. Some mornings they didn’t rush to get out of bed. Some mornings, they just stayed talking in whispers, fingers tracing idle paths across skin, learning again how to touch without fear of losing each other.

For a man who had lived half his life in pursuit of control, Adrian had never known the gentleness of surrender — not until Gabriel.

Their romance, once forged in secrecy and shadows, had evolved into someth

  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION     chapter hundred and twenty

    The night was very quiet the kind of quiet that feels full, not empty. Outside, the lake shimmered beneath a low-hanging moon, the water mirroring a thousand stars scattered across the sky. Adrian sat on the porch of the lake house, a glass of whiskey in his hand, watching the soft ripples move across the surface. He was older now not by much in years, but in heart, in mind, in the places that truly counted. Inside, he could hear faint laughter at the hallway Gabriel and Elias talking over the phone, catching up about college life, their voices warm and familiar. The sound made him smile. For a moment, he just sat there, taking it all in the peace, the quiet hum of night, the soft rustle of pine trees whispering against the wind. He remembered when silence used to terrify him. When it was a reminder of loss, of loneliness, of ghosts that refused to leave. But now, silence was comfort. It was home. He swirled the whiskey slowly, his gaze distant, thoughts drifting like the water

  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION    chapter hundred and nineteen

    The mansion felt quieter than it ever had before. Not just the kind of quiet that came after a long day, but the heavy, echoing stillness of absence the kind that settles in your bones when someone you love isn’t there anymore. Elias had been gone for only two weeks, yet it already felt like months. His laughter that deep, easy sound that used to echo through the hallways was gone. No more teasing about Adrian and Gabriel’s “gross displays of affection,” no more late-night snacks raided from the fridge, no more soft piano tunes drifting from the music room. Adrian sat by the window in his study, watching the first snowflakes fall. They came down in slow spirals, quiet and gentle, blanketing the garden outside. His reflection stared back at him from the glass older now, a little softer around the edges. He smiled faintly to himself, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. Gabriel appeared in the doorway a few minutes later, wearing one of Adrian’s old sweaters and holding two mugs

  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION    chapter hundred and Eighteen

    The night was warm, one of those evenings that smelled faintly of rain and jasmine drifting in through the open windows of the Knight mansion. The dinner table was still cluttered with half-empty wine glasses and the remnants of dessert Gabriel’s homemade chocolate torte that had everyone groaning in satisfaction. Adrian leaned back in his chair, watching Elias laugh at something Gabriel said. His son had grown so much taller, more confident, with that same spark of charm Gabriel had. There was something in his eyes that reminded Adrian of his younger self — curious, hungry for life, but gentler, shaped by love instead of ambition. As the laughter faded, Elias’s tone shifted. He looked between his fathers, his fingers nervously tracing the rim of his glass. “There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you both.” Adrian straightened slightly. “You’re not in trouble, are you?” he teased, trying to lighten the sudden weight in the air..cause it felt so emotional... Elias chuckled

  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION     chapter hundred and seventeen

    Everything seemed to fall perfectly into place, as if the universe itself had finally decided to reward Adrian and Gabriel for surviving the storms that once tore them apart.Life wasn’t a fairytale it was better. It was real, grounded, and full of those quiet, ordinary miracles that made every day feel like a gift.At Knight Enterprises, the halls once filled with tension and corporate chaos now carried a calm hum of productivity and creativity. Adrian had rebuilt not just the company’s reputation, but its soul. The sustainability division he’d launched months ago was thriving — attracting global partners who admired the integrity behind his vision.The morning light streamed through the tall glass windows of his office, catching the edges of the framed photo on his desk — Gabriel and Elias, laughing at the lake house. It reminded him what he was working for. Not status. Not power. But legacy one built on love, honesty, and the kind of leadership that lifted people instead of brea

  • THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION    chapter hundred and sixteen

    Weeks after Adrian and Gabriel got back from their “lovecation,” as Elias teasingly called it, life began to fall into a new rhythm one that felt freer, lighter, and beautifully ordinary in all the ways it hadn’t been before.The lake house, which once stood as a quiet sanctuary, now hummed with laughter and warmth. It had become a living, breathing space—a home that welcomed not just them but everyone they loved. The long wooden deck overlooked the still water, framed by tall pines that swayed softly with the wind. And inside, the scent of coffee and cinnamon rolls often mingled with music from the old record player Gabriel loved too much to replace.Adrian had this habit now standing by the large window near the fireplace, mug in hand, just watching the reflection of light dance across the lake. Some mornings, Gabriel would walk up behind him, arms sliding around his waist, chin resting on his shoulder.“Thinking again?” Gabriel would whisper, a hint of a smile in his tone.Adrian w
