Adrian

It's been over thirty minutes since Scarlett left to use the restroom. At first, I didn't give it much thought as women took longer in there fixing their makeup and whatever it was they did in there, but thirty minutes was a bit excessive.

I glanced at the time on my watch for the fourth time and frowned.

“If we don't leave any minute from now, we will be late for her dress fitting,” I muttered.

Pushing away from the couch, I headed towards the lounge’s main door exit. Stepping into the

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   ENOUGH MOTIVE

    AdrianAt Grandma's words, I arranged a press conference outside Hartley's Global, dangling the one bait reporters were sure not to miss—the first public appearance of Adrian Hartley.By the time my car stopped in front of the company, reporters had already filled the entrance, and once they recognized my license plate number, they swarmed forward like bees to their hive.Daniel stepped out first, raising a hand to keep them back before opening the back door. Climbing down, camera lights flashed from every direction.“Mr. Hartley! Over here!”“Mr. Hartley, just one statement—”“Why have you suddenly decided to make a public appearance after all these years?”I lifted one hand, and that small gesture was enough to make them all go silent. “If you're not prepared to let me speak, then this press conference ends now.”My gaze swept the crowd, waiting for one person to defy my words, but no one did. As expected.“I've called you here because something happened to my wife, which I would li

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   DO WHAT YOU MUST!

    Adrian I was certain I had done enough to ensure Scarlett wouldn't die in this lifetime. In her past life, I had been watching her long before she even knew my name because I thought we were alike. But Scarlett couldn't be bothered enough to notice as she was preoccupied with her husband. Whenever he reduced her to tears, she would come to a small garden behind one of Hartley’s hotels and cry to her heart's content. Then, she would leave as though nothing had happened. I never approached her because, at the time, I also had my battles to fight. Still, whenever I passed that garden, my eyes would search for her. Then one day, she stopped coming. I assumed her husband had finally learned to appreciate her after all; EH Pharmaceuticals had earned billions from the drugs she developed. Only a fool wouldn't recognize her worth, but I couldn't have been more wrong. She had passed away quietly, and her pathetic husband had remarried on a whim and taken his new wife and son overseas, lea

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   STAND BY ME

    ScarlettI stilled, my hands frozen on the stack of files on my desk as I stared at Grandma Hartley, expecting her to be disappointed to see me with Ethan.Instead, she was angry at the useless man who had tried to humiliate me.“Didn't you hear me or do you need another spanking?!” Grandma Hartley barked, glaring at Ethan.He flinched, taking another step back as though she'd already raised her cane. “I...heard you.”Slowly, Ethan lowered to his knees. “I'm sorry for the words I used against you, Scarlett. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.”His voice shook with humiliation. This was the same filthy man who always looked down on me as if I was dirty. Now, he was forced to his knees before me because someone stronger had ordered him to.This was the power the Hartley family carried.Without sparing him a glance, I said, “You can stand up and leave.”Ethan scrambled to his feet and fled out of my office. He was barely gone when Grandma Hartley turned and faced me.“You

    Scarlett “I'm sorry I didn't tell you from the beginning,“ Pete said, his voice heavy with regret. “When Ethan asked me to help him acquire the poison, I didn't question it. My clients pay for discretion, not curiosity. I supplied what he requested and left it at that. It wasn't until later that I learned Alistair Gance died shortly afterward.“He continued, “I suspected that he must have given it to Nathan, but the cause of his death was listed as cardiac arrest. No one was interested in finding out how Alistair died, so I buried the hatchet as well since it wouldn't do me any good if the truth came out.“My fingers tightened around my phone. “Are you helping me out of guilt? Is that what this is?““I think so.“A faint smile tugged at my lips. Pete didn't know I had already discovered this much. Until then, I intended to milk him dry of his guilt. After all, guilt was far more useful than loyalty.Nathan already made Clarissa take the fall for forging my father's medical records, w

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   SWITCH SIDES

    Scarlett“Hold on, Scarlett! Listen to me!” Ethan's desperate and pathetic voice tore through the wedding hall as two security guards dragged him toward the exit. “You want to get married to Adrian Hartley that badly? Fine, I'll let you! But I can't sell the drugs without you. Think of the millions of lives depending on it. Are you going to throw that all away? Scarlett!”The same man who had spent the past year cheating and plotting to get rid of me was now begging me. Now that money was involved, suddenly "millions of lives" mattered. What a joke!His voice gradually faded until it disappeared completely. I avoided Adrian's gaze not because I was ashamed but rather because I knew exactly what questions were running through his mind, and I wasn't prepared to answer them in front of both our families.“Are you alright?” he asked, taking me by surprise, as those were not the words I was expecting to hear.“A little shaken, but I'm fine.”After all, any woman would be rattled after havi

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   MADMAN

    Adrian Our wedding was held in one of the Hartley family's private hotels. The entire venue had been reserved exclusively for this occasion. Upon arrival, the staff who had been on standby escorted Scarlett to a private suite to prepare her for the ceremony. I headed to my own dressing room. The hotel staff had already laid out my tuxedo according to my instructions. As I buttoned my shirt, my phone rang. It was Daniel. I answered and placed the call on speaker. “You have ten minutes, Daniel.” “The new drug couldn't be launched today. Apparently, Ethan Vale of EH Pharmaceuticals doesn't possess the legal selling rights. Only his wife does.” A faint smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I picked up a tie and draped it around my collar and tightened its knot. “And where is Ethan Vale now?” I asked. “He left the conference hall in a fury.” Of course, he did. The drug launch that was meant to set Ethan's company's reputation on the rise had turned into a public embarrassment b

    Scarlet“Like I said before, Nathan, I don't want you involved in my personal business. I can handle it myself.”Ever since I had Nathan promoted, he was under the misguided impression that we were allies. His audacity was impressive.His expression turned sour. “Fine. Let me know if you change your

    Adrian“I never brought this up because I knew you were bound to react this way, Evelyn. But now, I'm left with no choice after this ridiculous stunt you pulled.”Vincent's eyes widened as he stared at the picture. “Is this some kind of joke, Adrian? This is—”“Alexander Mills. I know.”Everyone kn

    ScarlettI knew sooner or later, Evelyn was going to be a problem, but I hadn't expected it to happen this quickly, nor had I expected this.In my previous life, I had been too busy sacrificing everything for Ethan to be aware of a world where Adrian and Evelyn existed. My entire existence had revo

    ADRIANWhen I got back to the company, Daniel sprinted towards me, lips trembling and one hand visibly shaking.In the six years Daniel had been working under me, he always remained calm even in the face of a million-dollar lawsuit, although that later turned out to be a misunderstanding.
