After hugging her children, Evelyn glanced around the living room, taking in the soft glow of the morning sun spilling through the tall, floor-to-ceiling windows. The light danced across the polished hardwood floors, catching the subtle shimmer of the family’s art pieces and glinting off the brass handles of the furniture. At some point, Adrian had moved silently from his laptop, standing quietly beside her. The subtle hum of the mansion’s air conditioning filled the room, blending with the fa

  • The CEO's broken vows    Chapter 100 – The Truth Buried for Twenty Years

    The café fell into complete silence.Outside, the morning traffic flowed as usual, cars gliding past the glass windows while pedestrians hurried along the sidewalks, completely unaware that inside one quiet corner of the café, a son was about to hear the truth that had been buried for over twenty years.Adrian sat motionless.His hands were clasped tightly together beneath the table, the veins on the back of his hands standing out from the force.Across from him, his mother lowered her trembling eyes.For several long seconds, neither of them spoke.Finally...She drew a shaky breath."It all started the day I stumbled across a file on your father's computer."Her voice was barely above a whisper."There were photographs... hundreds of them."She swallowed painfully."Pictures of another woman... and a little boy."Adrian's expression froze."I couldn't believe what I was seeing.""So I hired someone to investigate."Another painful silence settled between them."When your grandparent

  • The CEO's broken vows    CHAPTER 99

    Adrian practically ran out of the building.The polished marble floors of Chase Corporation echoed beneath his hurried footsteps as employees instinctively stepped aside, startled by the sight of their usually composed CEO moving with such urgency.His heartbeat thundered violently inside his chest.One thought consumed his mind.She was dying.The woman he had spent over twenty years hating...The woman he had convinced himself never loved him...Was dying.Without slowing down, Adrian reached the exact spot where he had seen her standing earlier that morning.Empty.His breathing hitched.His eyes darted frantically around the parking lot.Cars came and went.Security guards continued with their routine patrols.Business executives walked past without a second glance.But she...She was nowhere to be found.A strange panic clawed at his chest.For the first time in years, Adrian Chase felt afraid.He hurried toward the nearest security officer."Did you see the woman who was standin

  • The CEO's broken vows    CHAPTER 98

    The morning arrived wrapped in a blanket of gray clouds.A cool breeze swept through Lincoln City, carrying with it the promise of rain. The usually vibrant skyline looked strangely muted, as though even the heavens were waiting for something inevitable to unfold.Adrian had barely slept.Long after everyone else had gone to bed, he had remained in his study, reviewing reports from Bruce, checking the encrypted feeds Ethan had forwarded, and mentally arranging countless possibilities.By dawn, exhaustion clung to his features, but his movements remained as precise as ever.He adjusted the cuffs of his charcoal suit before stepping into his car.The engine purred softly as the vehicle disappeared onto the nearly empty morning roads.His mind wasn't on the traffic.It was on Clara.On Charles.On Moldova.Every instinct told him the endgame had finally begun.About thirty minutes later...The towering Chase Corporation headquarters came into view.Employees hurried in through the revolv

    The moment everyone around the dining table noticed the strange expressions that flashed across Adrian and Ethan's faces, the atmosphere changed.The warm family laughter that had filled the dining room only seconds ago disappeared, replaced by a heavy silence.Without asking a single question, Adrian immediately rose from his chair."Ethan."The boy was already on his feet before his father finished calling his name.Adrian rested a reassuring hand on his son's shoulder."We'll be right back."Seeing the seriousness on both their faces, Evelyn instinctively stood up as well."I'll come too.""What happened?" Mr. Montgomery asked, looking from one face to another.Evelyn forced a smile despite the uneasiness growing inside her."Nothing serious, Dad. Just... something related to work."She didn't wait for another question before hurrying upstairs after the father and son.Alex immediately pushed back his chair."I'll check on them."He had barely taken two steps when Mr. Montgomery ca

    The front door had barely closed behind Evelyn when Adrian walked out of the kitchen wearing a black apron over his crisp white shirt.His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, exposing his strong forearms dusted lightly with flour. In one hand, he held a wooden spoon, while the other carried a steaming bowl of soup. A few loose strands of hair had fallen over his forehead, giving the usually intimidating CEO an unexpectedly domestic appearance.Evelyn stopped in her tracks.She blinked twice before bursting into laughter."What on earth are you doing coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron?"She folded her arms across her chest, one eyebrow raised in disbelief.Adrian glanced down at himself before looking back at her innocently."What does it look like I'm doing?"He lifted both hands dramatically."Does this look like the attire of someone negotiating billion-dollar contracts?"The family erupted into laughter."He insisted on cooking dinner for all of us," Mrs. Montgomery expla

    The afternoon sun poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Montgomery Fashion, bathing the spacious design studio in warm golden light.Bolts of luxurious fabric covered the long worktable. Sketches of upcoming collections were scattered neatly beside them while mannequins dressed in unfinished gowns stood silently around the room like elegant spectators.Evelyn stood beside one of the mannequins, carefully adjusting the drape of a sapphire-blue evening gown."What if we move the embroidery slightly toward the waist?" her assistant suggested.Evelyn stepped back, studying the dress from every angle."No..."She shook her head thoughtfully."It'll draw attention away from the neckline. Let's keep the embroidery here and make the beadwork lighter instead."Her assistant quickly scribbled down the note.Just then...Buzz.Her phone vibrated on the table.Without thinking much of it, Evelyn picked it up.The moment she saw the sender, a small smile appeared on her lips.Ethan.She o

    Got it.That was Evelyn’s short reply. She wasn’t going because of Adrian — she was going because of Mrs. Chase Sr., who had always been like a second mother to her. Through all the years Adrian had treated her coldly, his grandmother had been her comfort. She would scold Adrian, defend Evelyn, and

    “Adrian, please save me. I ran into a problem at the club and the manager is threatening to call the cops on me.”Adrian read the message in silence. “Damn it, Clara. Why now of all times?” he cursed under his breath.He wanted to ignore it, but another message popped up — this time, a picture of t

    A whole week had passed, yet Evelyn still refused to go home. She stayed with her mother, doing everything she could to avoid anything—or anyone—that would bring her close to Adrian.He had tried reaching out to her countless times in the past few days, but she ignored him completely.

    Evelyn and Eliana decided to stop by for a late-night snack. Ethan wasn’t with them — he was never much of the outgoing type.After eating, Eliana’s attention was caught by a pink gown displayed in the boutique across the street. Its soft, flowery design stood out beautifully among the other clothe
