The Billionaire’s Muse Chapter 43: Mr Harlan was wrong
(Meghan’s POV)The morning came too quietly.I opened my eyes and immediately remembered the building.The news from the night before returned in pieces, starting with haran telling me that five people had died, then the police sitting in the living room, and finally the words that had left me too stunned to properly respond. I stayed in bed, staring at the ceiling while I tried to convince myself that the investigation would clear everything up.I knew what I had recommended at the site. I had pointed out the problem with the support and told Naomi that the engineers needed to check it before anything was closed up. I hadn’t told anyone to use an unsafe method, and I certainly hadn’t done anything that should have brought a building down.Once they went through the plans and spoke to everyone who had worked on the site, they would understand that.At least, that was what I needed to believe.I reached for my phone from the nightstand, expecting to see a few missed calls from Imogen o
The Billionaire’s Muse Chapter 42: Someone called
Adrian’s POV“Is this Adrian?”The voice was unfamiliar, and I shifted the phone against my ear, already wondering who had given a stranger my number. “Yes. Who’s this?”“My name is Victor. I’m Meghan’s stepdad.”That caught me off guard. Meghan had never really talked about him, and with everything happening tonight, his call was the last thing I expected. “Okay… why are you calling me?”There was a small pause on the other end before he answered. “Someone contacted me about Meghan.”I straightened from the chair in the private study, my attention sharpening. “What did they say?”“They said she’s been digging too deeply into something.” Victor sounded uneasy now. “They told me I needed to warn her before she got herself into trouble.”I glanced toward the closed door, knowing Meghan was somewhere else in the private residence with Sophie. “Digging into what exactly?”“I don’t know.” His answer came quickly, then softened. “They didn’t give me much. Just that she was asking questions
The Billionaire’s Muse Chapter 41: She knows something
Adrian’s POVOnce the police were gone, the house seemed to settle into an uneasy quiet.Dad lasted only a few more minutes before leaving too, carrying the officers’ questions—and whatever answers he had managed to give them—out with him. I watched him disappear down the hallway, then turned back to Meghan and Sophie. Sophie hadn’t moved much. She was still beside Meghan, one hand covering hers, while Meghan kept staring at the floor as if the right explanation might somehow be hiding there.I couldn’t sit around waiting for one.My phone was already in my hand by the time I stepped away from the table. I found Naomi’s number, glanced once at Meghan, and moved toward the other side of the room. “I need to make a call,” I told them, not waiting for either of them to respond.Naomi answered on the second ring. “Adrian?”I leaned my shoulder against the wall and lowered my voice. “You’ve heard about the collapse, right?” There was no point dressing this up as a casual call. I needed to
The Billionaire’s Muse Chapter 40: Marriage cancelled
(Adrian’s POV)The call was still playing in my head.He hadn't told me much, only that I needed to come home, and the way he said it made it obvious that it was something urgent.Sophie and Meghan were quiet throughout the ride.We were almost at the entrance of the gate when I noticed some cars. They looked like cop cars. Two were parked near the gate, and more were in the driveway.I slowed down the car and looked at Meghan. But she was already looking at meWe finally stepped out of the car and began heading in before Sophie walked up beside us and looked at the cars, one after another. “Were we expecting people?” she asked.“No,” I replied. If Dad had anyone coming over, he would have told me.I opened the door and stepped inside.Dad was sitting in the sitting room with some men I didn't recognise. They were sitting around the table with papers spread in front of them. From the way they were dressed and the badges I saw on the two of them, they were definitely cops.Harlan final
The Billionaire’s Muse Chapter 39: A break
Meghan’s POVI woke up still annoyed with Adrian.The conversation from the night before kept coming back to me, especially the way he had dismissed every question I asked about Harbor Point. I had expected him to be protective of his family’s business, but the way he shut me down made me even more curious.I reached for my phone, then stopped myself.No.I wasn’t doing this again.I had spent enough time thinking about Harbor Point. For today, I was leaving it alone. Whatever Adrian wasn’t willing to tell me could wait until I had a clearer head.I was halfway through getting ready when Sophie appeared in the doorway, already dressed and looking far too pleased with herself.“Get changed,” she said, leaning against the frame. “We’re going out.”I glanced at her through the mirror. “Where?”“That’s not important. Just get dressed.”I turned around, holding the brush in my hand. “Sophie, I have work.”“You always have work.” She stepped into the room and folded her arms. “When was the
The Billionaire’s Muse Chapter 38: Something Strange
Adrian’s POVI was halfway through reviewing a report when my phone lit up with Naomi’s name. I answered and kept my eyes on the document. “What’s up?”“Meghan,” Naomi said. “She’s starting to look too deeply into Harbor Point.”My eyes stopped on the same line. “How deep?”“She’s been asking about the old project and going through documents she wasn’t supposed to see.” Naomi paused. “She’s getting curious about things that have nothing to do with the current development.”I leaned back in my chair, already knowing which project she meant. “Atlas.”“Yes.” Her voice dropped slightly. “I think she’s getting close to something.”I set the report aside. “Did she say anything to you?”“Not directly. She mentioned Atlas at the site yesterday, then corrected herself.” Naomi exhaled quietly. “She knows there’s something strange about Harbor Point. If she keeps searching, she’ll eventually find what she shouldn’t.”I ran a hand over my jaw. I’d hoped Meghan would lose interest once she realize
