"Adrian."

He didn't respond.

She stepped closer.

"Adrian."

He finally looked at her.

"I spent twenty years believing he was dead."

Eva didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry."

"It's not pity."

His eyes met hers.

    Eva froze.Her hand remained inches from the door."Eva?"The voice came again.Soft.Familiar.Impossible.She looked at Adrian."That was my mother."Adrian's expression tightened."I know."Beatrice stepped forward."Don't open it."Eva turned."Why?"Beatrice's face had gone pale."Because that isn't your mother."Another silence.The voice came again."Eva, please."Her heart ached.Even though she knew it couldn't be her mother, hearing that voice was almost enough to make her forget everything else.Adrian gently took her hand."Don't listen.""But how can someone sound exactly like her?""I don't know."Victor moved closer to the door."Neither do I."He examined the edges."There's a speaker hidden somewhere."Eva looked at him."A recording?""Probably."Adrian nodded."Someone wants us to believe she's behind the door."The voice came again."Eva, you have to trust me."Eva swallowed."My mother used to say that."Adrian looked at her."Then that's exactly why they're using

  • The Bride he never wanted    The Man in the Photograph

    Nobody moved.Lucas stood at the top of the stairs, the mysterious man beside him.Eva stared at the stranger.There was something familiar about him.Not his face.His eyes.She had seen them before.In the photographs."Who is he?" she whispered.Adrian stepped forward."Lucas."Lucas looked at him."I'm sorry.""For what?""For everything."Adrian's expression hardened."You betrayed me.""I was trying to protect you.""You disappeared.""I had to."Richard laughed quietly."Everyone always has an excuse."Lucas ignored him."The man beside me is the reason your parents were afraid."Eva looked at the stranger."What's your name?"He slowly stepped into the light."Victor Hart."Eva froze.Her mother's brother.The uncle she'd believed had disappeared years ago."My uncle?"Victor nodded."I didn't want you to meet me like this."Eva stared at him."Why did you disappear?""Because Richard was hunting me."Richard scoffed."You make it sound dramatic.""You threatened my family.""

I can't imagine what you're feeling."He looked away."Neither can I."Beatrice approached them."We need to leave."Adrian nodded."Back to the estate."Daniel frowned."Sir, your father said the room is there.""I know.""And Richard may be watching.""I know that too."Eva looked at Adrian."Then we go carefully."He nodded.But before they could move, his phone vibrated.A message appeared.You saw him.Adrian's expression hardened.Another message followed.Now you know what happens when you keep digging.Eva's heart sank."Richard?""Proba

  • The Bride he never wanted    The one who knows

    The lights remained off.Eva could hear nothing except the sound of her own breathing.Adrian's hand was still wrapped around hers."Stay behind me," he whispered.She nodded.Daniel quietly moved toward the door."Don't open it," Adrian ordered.Daniel stopped.A shadow passed beneath the gap.Someone was standing outside.Eva's heart pounded.Then the shadow disappeared.Silence returned.Adrian looked at Daniel."Check the cameras."Daniel pulled out his phone."They're offline.""All of them?""Yes."Adrian's expression hardened."Then we're leaving through the east corridor."Beatrice stood."No."Everyone looked at her."You can't leave that way.""Why?""Because that's exactly where they'll expect you to go."Adrian studied her."How do you know?"Beatrice looked toward the journal."Because Richard knows this building better than you think."Eva frowned."How?""Your grandfather."Adrian went still."My grandfather?"Beatrice nodded."He helped build Blackwood Tower.""Richard

    The room went silent.Eva stared at Daniel.He stared back.For several seconds, nobody moved.Then Daniel slowly lowered his phone."Sir..."Adrian stepped in front of Eva."Don't move."Daniel's expression tightened."You think it was me?""I don't know what to think."Adrian's voice was controlled, but there was something dangerous beneath it.Daniel looked genuinely hurt."After everything I've done for you?""That's exactly why I'm asking."Eva stepped forward."Adrian."He glanced at her."Wait."She looked back at Daniel."Daniel, where were you before we came here?""At the tower.""Doing what?""Checking the security systems."Adrian's eyes narrowed."Who authorized you to do that?""You did.""I didn't."Daniel went quiet.Eva looked between them."Then who did?"Daniel shook his head."I received an instruction through the internal security system."Adrian's expression hardened."Show me."Daniel immediately pulled out his phone.He opened the message.There was no sender.

  • The Bride he never wanted    The Warning

    Adrian stood completely still.The photograph remained on his phone screen.Eva stared at it beside him.It was impossible.They had been inside the car.The windows had been tinted.The road had been nearly empty.Yet someone had taken a photograph of them while they slept.Someone had been close enough to watch them."Adrian...""I know."His voice was unusually quiet.Eva looked toward the bedroom window."Do you think they're outside?"Adrian immediately moved in front of her."Stay away from the window."She obeyed.He walked toward the curtains and pulled them shut.Then he turned off the lights.The room fell into darkness."Daniel."He called him immediately."Sir?""Lock down the entire tower."There was a brief silence."Now?""Now. No one enters or leaves without my approval.""Understood."Adrian ended the call.Eva watched him."What are we going to do?""First, we're going to find out how they got that photograph."He opened the security application on his phone.One cam
