Adrian's spoon struck the edge of his plate when Sophia dropped the referral note beside his breakfast, making him look up just as she pulled out the chair opposite him.

“You have until I finish this conversation to explain why you involved Damien,” Sophia said.

Adrian glanced at the note before wheeling himself toward the study without answering, and when he returned with the specialist's report, he placed it between them as though the document could explain what he had struggled to say.

  • The Heir I Convinced With Him    The Brother’s Refusal

    Adrian was waiting in the living room when Sophia returned from Damien’s office, his wheelchair positioned beside the window and his phone resting in his lap. He looked up as she entered, but instead of asking how her visit had gone, he studied her face as though he could find the answer there. After a moment, he set his phone aside and broke the silence.“Well?” Adrian asked.Sophia placed her handbag on the table and pulled out a chair. “He refused.”Adrian’s fingers tightened around the armrest before he looked toward the window. “Did he give you a reason?”“He gave me several, but none of them changed his answer.” Sophia sat opposite him, watching him struggle to hide his disappointment. “You seem surprised, considering you warned me he might refuse.”“I hoped he would listen to you,” Adrian replied.“And if he didn't?”Adrian lowered his gaze, leaving Sophia to stare at him across the table. She had expected disappointment, but his immediate surrender irritated her more than Dami

  • The Heir I Convinced With Him    The Request She Could Not Make

    Sophia changed her blouse twice before settling on the first one, then grabbed her handbag before she could find another excuse to delay leaving. Adrian looked up from his rehabilitation schedule as she crossed the dining room, his eyes moving from her carefully arranged clothes to the keys she had been holding since breakfast."You're going to see Damien," Adrian observed.Sophia stopped beside the table. "How did you know?""You've checked the time four times in ten minutes, and you've been holding those keys since breakfast." Adrian placed his schedule on the table and studied her face. "You only get that particular look when you've made up your mind and are waiting for someone to talk you out of it."She slipped the keys into her handbag. "I need to speak with him about the possibility you discussed."Adrian's expression tightened. "What exactly are you planning to say?""That I want him to consider it."He reached for his water, took a sip, and set the glass down with unnecessary

  • The Heir I Convinced With Him    The Promise That Destroyed Two Brothers

    Sophia blocked Adrian's wheelchair before he could leave the dining room, holding up her phone so he could read the message that had arrived only seconds earlier. Ask Richard why your future was discussed before Adrian ever came home from the hospital. Adrian read it twice, then glanced toward the hallway as if someone might be listening, and the sudden tension in his face told Sophia that the message had struck closer to home than he wanted to admit."Who sent that?" Adrian asked."I was hoping you would tell me," Sophia replied, keeping the phone out of his reach.He extended his hand, but she slipped the phone into her pocket and pulled out a chair instead. "You have been avoiding my questions since yesterday, and now someone is claiming your father discussed my future while you were still in the hospital. I am done collecting clues about my own marriage, Adrian, so start telling me the truth."Adrian turned his wheelchair toward the table and parked beside it. "After I came home f

  • The Heir I Convinced With Him    The Man She Should Not Understand

    Adrian had barely parked the car when his phone rang again, and Sophia watched him answer before she could ask another question about Damien. He listened for several seconds, his expression hardening at whatever Richard was saying, then ended the call and reached for his wheelchair controls without looking at her."Your father?" Sophia asked."Yes.""What does he want now?""To remind me that my brother is still a problem."Adrian's bitter reply caught her off guard, but before she could respond, he turned toward the house, making it clear that the conversation was over. Sophia followed him inside, increasingly frustrated by how quickly every discussion about Damien became another reason for her husband to shut her out.She waited until Adrian had settled in the living room before speaking again, determined not to let him escape behind another convenient interruption."You promised me answers at the family office," Sophia reminded him."I explained what happened," Adrian replied, his

  • The Heir I Convinced With Him     The Cost of Silence

    Sophia placed her phone on Adrian’s desk, displaying the message she had sent him earlier, and waited until he finished reading it before breaking the uncomfortable silence.You left out what happened when Damien asked you to stand beside him.“Are you going to explain, or must I get the truth from your brother one piece at a time?” she asked.Adrian closed his laptop and rubbed his thumb along its edge. “Damien has always been good at making himself look like the victim.”“And you have always been good at changing the subject.”His eyebrows rose, but Sophia refused to back down because she had spent enough time accepting half answers, and she wasn't leaving his study without something more substantial.“Why did you promise to support him if you intended to change sides?” she asked.Adrian stood and crossed to the drinks cabinet, where he poured himself a glass of water before returning to his desk without answering. He took a sip, placed the glass beside his laptop, and finally looke

    “Tell them I will not sign it.”Sophia heard Damien’s voice before she reached his study. A moment later, his assistant, Oliver Hayes, emerged with a folder tucked beneath his arm and the strained expression of someone who had already lost an argument.“But Mr. Vale, your father expects the documents today,” Oliver said.“Then Richard can expect them unsigned.”Oliver glanced at Sophia, offered a brief greeting, and hurried away. She stepped into the study as Damien looked up from his desk, his irritation giving way to surprise when he recognized her.“You have terrible timing,” Damien remarked.“I can come back.”“No. You came for answers, didn’t you?”Sophia closed the door behind her. “Unless you have decided to stop giving them.”Damien leaned back in his chair, studying her with a faint smile. “You are getting better at this.”“At what?”“Not letting people send you away.”She ignored his teasing and took the seat opposite him. “Why did you leave your family?”His expression chan
