CHAPTER 63

THE WOMAN WHO KNEW HIM

Elena waited until they were back at the apartment before she said anything.

She had spent the entire drive staring through the window, replaying Victoria's words over and over again. Adrian had noticed her silence, but he hadn't pressured her. He simply drove, one hand resting on the steering wheel while the other occasionally reached across the console to touch hers.

Normally, that small gesture would have comforted her.

Tonight, it only reminded her of the q

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 101— THE SECRET LEDGER

    CHAPTER 101THE SECRET LEDGERAdrian remained standing beside the desk long after Damien's call ended.The notebook lay open in front of him, its yellowed pages covered with names, numbers, dates, and symbols that had once meant something to his father.Now, they felt like pieces of a language Adrian had spent his entire life speaking without realizing he had only been taught half of it.Elena stood beside him, staring at the final page.“If your father wrote all of this down,” she said quietly, “then he knew someone was coming.”Adrian swallowed.“He knew someone was already inside.”His eyes returned to the handwritten words.The person I trusted opened the door. Five years ago, Adrian had believed the threat came from outside.He had believed the enemy was watching from the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to hurt Elena. He had believed leaving her was the only way to keep her alive, but if his father had written this before his death, then the danger had never been as distant a

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 100—HIS FATHER'S SIN

    CHAPTER 100HIS FATHER'S SINAdrian remained standing in the middle of his office long after Marcus left.The door had closed. The footsteps had faded, but his words remained.Your father wasn't the mastermind. He was trying to stop it. But he made one terrible decision.Elena watched him carefully. She had never seen Adrian this still.He wasn't angry. He wasn't shouting or pacing around the room. He simply stood there, as though the foundation beneath everything he had ever believed had shifted.“What did he mean?” she asked quietly.Adrian didn't answer.“Elena…”He finally looked at her.“I don't know.”She stepped closer.“You said your father was a good man.”“I believed he was.”“And now?” Adrian turned toward the window.“I don't know what to believe.”Elena moved beside him.“Then find out.”His eyes met hers.“Marcus said my father knew about the organization. He said he tried to stop it.”“Then maybe that's exactly what happened.”“But he also said my father made a decision

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 99— FACE TO FACE

    CHAPTER 99FACE TO FACEAdrian didn't sleep that night. The message from the unknown caller kept replaying in his mind.Ask Marcus what happened five years ago, by morning, he had already reviewed every file connected to Marcus Hale. Five years of records, five years of meetings, five years of loyalty, and somehow, every path seemed to lead back to the same question.What had Marcus been hiding?Elena found Adrian in his study just after sunrise. He was standing beside the window, one hand resting against the desk while the other held a photograph.She stopped at the doorway.“You haven't slept.”Adrian looked over his shoulder.“Neither have you.”“I slept for a few hours.”“That's more than I did.”She walked toward him.“Have you spoken to Marcus?”“Not yet.”“Why?”“Because I don't want to confront him while I'm angry.” Elena studied his face.“That sounds like progress.”He gave her a faint smile.“I've learned a few things.”She reached for the photograph in his hand.It was an

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 98— THE PLAN

    CHAPTER 98THE PLANMarcus Hale stood beside Elena's table, his expression calm. Too calm.Elena's heart pounded once, hard enough that she was certain he could see it.“Marcus,” she said.He smiled.“Elena. I didn't expect to see you here.”She forced herself to return his smile.“Neither did I.”Marcus pulled out the empty chair.“May I?”Elena glanced briefly toward the window. She knew Adrian was watching.She nodded.“Of course.”Across the street, Adrian's hands tightened around the edge of the tablet.Damien glanced at him.“You're going to break that.”Adrian ignored him, keeping his eyes fixed on Marcus.“Why is he there?”“We're trying to find out.”Adrian's jaw tightened.“He wasn't part of the plan.”“I know.”“Then find out who brought him.”Damien was already working.Inside the café, Marcus leaned back casually.“I heard you were interested in exploring some opportunities outside Kane Group.”Elena kept her expression neutral.“People talk.”“They do.”Daniel sat silent

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 97— THE BAIT

    CHAPTER 97THE BAITAdrian stared at the photograph on his phone.Daniel Mercer stood beside Marcus Hale.The image had been taken outside a private building three years earlier, long before Daniel had approached Elena at the restaurant.Elena leaned closer to examine it.“So he knew Marcus.”“Apparently.”“And Marcus knew him.”Adrian nodded.Neither spoke for several seconds. The silence was eventually broken by Elena.“Then Daniel didn't approach me tonight by accident.”“No.”“He was sent.”“That's what I believe.”Elena looked at the photograph again.“What did he want?”Adrian's expression hardened. “Information.”“About you?”“About us.”She folded her arms. “What exactly did he ask me?”Adrian glanced at her. “Your opinion about Kane Group. Your interests. Whether you were involved in my business.”Elena's eyes narrowed.“He was testing me.”“Yes.”“And you knew.”“I suspected.”She turned to him. “You were jealous anyway.”Despite himself, Adrian's mouth twitched.“I can be j

  • The Apology That Came Too Late    CHAPTER 96— WHAT HE WILL EVER SAY

    CHAPTER 96WHAT HE WILL NEVER SAYElena stared at the message for several seconds.The words remained on the screen, cold and deliberate.Ask him what happened to the people who came between him and the woman he loved five years ago.She swallowed.Adrian noticed the change in her expression immediately."What is it?"She looked up.For a moment, she considered hiding the phone, but they had already spent too much time rebuilding their relationship around honesty.She handed it to him.Adrian read the messages, and his face hardened."Give me the phone."Elena hesitated before letting him take it.He studied the number and the messages, his jaw tightening."Do you know who sent it?""No.""Has anyone contacted you like this before?"Elena thought about the calls, the warnings, and the anonymous messages that had followed them for weeks."Yes."Adrian looked at her."And you didn't tell me?""I have told you about most of them.""Most?""Adrian..."He closed his eyes briefly."I'm not
