The Bride he never wanted The Life We Choose
The first thing Eva noticed that morning was the sunlight.It slipped through the curtains in thin golden lines, falling across the bed and illuminating Adrian's sleeping face.For a while, she simply watched him.There had been a time when waking beside Adrian Blackwood would have filled her with questions. She would have wondered whether he was angry, whether he regretted marrying her, whether the man beside her was the same cold stranger who had once made it clear that their marriage was nothing more than an arrangement.Now, she knew the little things.She knew that he slept more peacefully when she rested her head against his chest. She knew that he reached for her even when he was half asleep. She knew that, despite his insistence that he hated mornings, he would wake early if she needed him.And she knew that he loved her.Not because he had said it once.Because he kept choosing to show her.Eva reached out and brushed her fingers across his cheek.His eyes opened."Are you pl

The name Elias spoke was Richard Blackwood.For several seconds, Eva couldn't move.Adrian's father stood at the end of the conference table, his expression unreadable. The silence around him felt heavier than any accusation.Adrian slowly released Eva's hand."Explain," he said.Richard looked at the speaker."I would like to hear the explanation too."Elias answered immediately."Years ago, Eva's mother attempted to leave the Circle's protection network. I instructed someone to deliver a warning to her. Richard carried that message."Adrian stared at his father."You told her to stay away from Eva?"Richard's jaw tightened."I delivered a message. I did not create the order.""That isn't what I asked."Richard looked at his son, and for once, there was no attempt to hide behind his position."Yes. I told her that returning to Eva would endanger both of them."Eva felt her chest tighten."Did you know Elias was threatening her?"Richard turned toward her."I knew he had information a

The message arrived at 7:13 on a Tuesday morning. Eva was still curled against Adrian beneath the covers, one hand resting on his chest while he absentmindedly traced circles across her fingers. For once, there were no alarms, no frantic calls from Daniel, and no new revelations waiting to destroy the fragile peace they had managed to build. Adrian had even agreed to let her steal his side of the bed. Again. "You're staring," Eva murmured without opening her eyes. "I'm admiring my wife." "You're admiring my side of the bed." "That too." She laughed softly and lifted her head. His hair was a mess, his usually immaculate face relaxed with sleep, and there was something almost unfair about how handsome he looked when he wasn't trying to intimidate an entire room. Eva brushed a strand of hair away from his forehead. "You know, if someone had told me months ago that I would willingly spend my mornings trapped beneath you, I would have called them insane." His eyebr

Nobody moved.Nathan's phone continued ringing on the table.Eva stared at the name displayed on the screen.ELIAS REED.Her father looked as though he had just seen a ghost."Dad?" she whispered.Nathan reached for the phone, but Adrian caught his wrist."Wait."Nathan looked at him."I need to answer this.""Why?" Adrian asked. "What does Elias want from you?"Nathan's gaze shifted toward Eva."Because I've been waiting for this call for years."The words sent a chill through the room.Eva stepped closer."What aren't you telling me?"Nathan looked down at the phone.Then, before anyone could stop him, he answered and placed it on speaker."Hello, Elias."A soft laugh came through the line."Nathan. I was beginning to wonder whether you would answer.""You've had years to speak to me. Why now?""Because you have finally stopped hiding behind the lies you told yourself."Nathan's jaw tightened."I never hid from what I did.""No?" Elias replied. "Then tell Eva why your name is on the

For the first time in months, Eva woke up in Adrian's arms without immediately wondering what disaster awaited her.Sunlight slipped through the curtains, warming the room. Adrian's arm rested securely around her waist, and his breathing was slow and even.She turned carefully to look at him.It still surprised her sometimes.This man, who had once treated their marriage like an obligation, now held her as though waking up beside her was the best part of his day.Eva smiled and brushed a strand of hair away from his forehead.Adrian's eyes opened."Are you watching me sleep?""Maybe.""Should I be concerned?""Very."He pulled her closer, his lips curving into a sleepy smile."Good morning to you too, Mrs. Blackwood."She laughed softly."Good morning."He kissed her forehead, then her cheek."How are you feeling?""Better.""Really?"Eva considered the question.She was still hurt by the secrets her family had kept. She still wanted answers about the years she'd lost with her mother

Eva stared at the message.NOW TELL EVA WHAT HAPPENED THE NIGHT YOU CHOSE TO KEEP HER.The words seemed to grow darker the longer she looked at them.Slowly, she raised her eyes toward Nathan."Dad?"He didn't answer immediately.Her mother sat motionless on the sofa, her hands clasped so tightly that her knuckles had turned white.Adrian moved closer to Eva, but he didn't interrupt."What's the message talking about?" Eva asked.Nathan lowered his phone."I think it's time you heard everything."Eva's stomach tightened."Then tell me."Nathan looked at her mother before turning back to Eva."The night you were born, Gabriel discovered that people connected to the Circle had obtained information about your family. They knew about your mother, your twin sister, and the circumstances surrounding your birth."Eva frowned."My twin?""Amelia was born first. You followed shortly afterward. The two of you were separated before you were old enough to know one another.""I know that part.""B
