Adrian's pov
I gave her a sharp look, "What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means you should stop comparing them."
"I wasn't comparing them."
"You were comparing how Alex would react to what I've done with how Serena is reacting to whatever is happening in your marriage."
I opened my mouth, but she continued before I could speak, "My Alex has always loved me. He's been patient with me, even when I didn't deserve it. He's given me so many ch

Chapter 131Adrian's povI stared at her.She leaned back against the pillows, looking exhausted, "For months, I begged you to see me as more than a convenient escape. I wanted you to choose me, Adrian. I wanted you to make me feel as though I mattered to you." Her voice grew quieter, "But you never did."I swallowed."And now, when I've finally decided to stop chasing you, when I've finally realized that I have a husband who deserves better than the woman I've been, you suddenly want to tell me that you have feelings for me?" She shook her head, "No. I don't want that anymore."I felt my hands curl into fists, "You're saying you don't care about me?""I'm saying I don't care what you feel."The answer was immediate. Cold. Absolute.For a moment, I could only stare at her.Vanessa had once been the woman who called me late at night because she missed me. The woman who became irritated when I had to leave her compa

Chapter 130Adrian's povI gave her a sharp look, "What is that supposed to mean?""It means you should stop comparing them.""I wasn't comparing them.""You were comparing how Alex would react to what I've done with how Serena is reacting to whatever is happening in your marriage."I opened my mouth, but she continued before I could speak, "My Alex has always loved me. He's been patient with me, even when I didn't deserve it. He's given me so many chances, and I know I've taken advantage of his kindness."Her voice became quieter, "I want to stop doing that."I stared at her. She was talking about Alex as though he were some saint who had spent their entire marriage patiently waiting for her to become a better person.And perhaps he had.I knew enough about their marriage to understand that Vanessa had never appreciated him the way she should have. She had complained about his supposed lack of wealth, dismissed h
TIT FOR TAT Chapter 129
Chapter 129Adrian's povI leaned forward, "Can you explain what is going on? Ever since your accident, you've been acting strangely. Before all this happened, you were always complaining that I didn't give you enough attention. You wanted me around. You wanted me to call you. You wanted me to spend time with you. You even wanted me to divorce Serena and make you, my wife."I paused, watching her carefully, "Now that I'm here, you can't even stand the sight of me. What changed?"Vanessa's expression hardened, "Everything changed.""What does that mean?" I asked."It means I've had time to think.""Think about what?""About my life. My marriage. My choices."I stared at her, growing increasingly confused, "Your marriage?""Yes, Adrian. MY MARRIAGE." She emphasized the last word as though she were trying to make me understand something painfully obvious, "My marriage to Alex."I felt my jaw tighten. Of course.Alex.I should have known. I leaned back slightly and forced a smile, "All ri
TIT FOR TAT Chapter 128
Chapter 128Adrian's povI had almost forgotten that she was in the house.She had been recovering from her accident, and I had barely spent any time with her since the situation with Serena had begun spiralling out of control. I had been so consumed by my wife's behaviour that I had pushed everything else to the back of my mind.I stood up.Perhaps Vanessa could help me make sense of what was happening. She was a woman, after all. She might understand what Serena was thinking in a way I could not.Besides, I wanted to see her. I wanted to know how she was feeling. And perhaps, if I was honest with myself, I wanted to see whether the strange uneasiness I had felt since hearing about her accident would return when I stood beside her.I left my study and headed upstairs.The house was unusually quiet. My footsteps echoed against the polished floor as I made my way toward Vanessa's room.When I reached her door, I knocked lightly.There was no answer.I tried again.Still nothing.I hesi
TIT FOR TAT Chapter 127
Chapter 127Adrian's POVFor several seconds, I remained perfectly still.Then I shook my head.No.That was ridiculous. Serena couldn't have found out about my affairs. She couldn't have.I had been careful. I had never brought another woman into our home, except Vanessa who was her cousin, she couldn’t suspect her own cousin, and I had always made sure that anything capable of exposing me was handled discreetly. I had built my entire life around maintaining the image of a respectable husband, and I had no intention of allowing a careless mistake to destroy it.Of course, I had made mistakes before.There had been close calls, suspicious messages, unexpected calls, and occasions when I had returned home later than planned. But I had always found a way to explain myself.And Serena had always believed me.Or, at least, she had never given me a reason to think otherwise.My thoughts shifted to Vanessa.Her name alone was enough to make my jaw tighten.Vanessa was not the first woman I
TIT FOR TAT Chapter 126
Chapter 126ADRIAN’S POVI had always believed that no matter what happened between Serena and me, she would never truly leave me.She might cry. She might become upset. She might give me the silent treatment for a few hours, perhaps even a day or two if I did something particularly stupid. She might look at me with those beautiful brown eyes of hers, her lips trembling as she asked why I had hurt her, and I would pull her into my arms, kiss her forehead, promise to do better, and watch the storm in her eyes gradually disappear.That was how things had always worked between us.Serena loved me too much to stay angry for long. At least, that was what I had believed.But the woman I had faced earlier was nothing like the Serena I had married.The Serena I knew would never have looked me directly in the eyes and spoken about ending our marriage as though she were discussing the cancellation of an unwanted appointment. She would never have spoken with such chilling composure about living
