The Marriage He Thought Was Fake (The Revenge Affair-Book 2) Chapter 67 The One on Her Mind
The Bennett Foundation's elder-care shelter stood on a quiet street away from the city's commercial district. It was a modest two-story building with wide windows, a small garden, and a wooden sign beside the entrance.Adrian parked near the entrance and switched off the engine.“This is one of the foundation's older facilities,” he said as I unfastened my seat belt. “They've been renovating several shelters, but Bennett still visits them himself.”“Even when he's busy?”Adrian glanced at me. “Bennett has his priorities.”“Is that your way of telling me not to waste his time?”“I'm telling you to make the most of the opportunity.” He opened the door. “Whether you can do that is up to you.”I couldn't tell whether he was warning me or simply reminding me that Bennett owed me nothing.We stepped out of the car. Adrian greeted a staff member waiting near the entrance and introduced me.“Ms. Ashworth, this is Rachel. She manages the shelter.”“It's nice to meet you,” Rachel said. “Dr. Ben

When I returned to the bedroom, Sam was still asleep.The curtains were partly drawn, leaving the room in a soft morning glow. He lay on his side beneath the covers, one arm tucked beneath his pillow. His breathing was slow and even, but I watched him for several seconds, hoping his fever had finally eased.I set my bag on the chair and changed into a cream blouse and tailored trousers. After tying my hair back, I reviewed the notes I'd prepared for the meeting and slipped my phone into my bag.I was ready to leave, but my gaze drifted back to the bed.Sam hadn't moved.I crossed the room and sat carefully on the edge of the mattress. A strand of hair had fallen across his forehead, and I brushed it aside before resting the back of my fingers against his skin.He was still warm.My brows drew together. I slipped my fingers between his and gave his hand a gentle squeeze.“Don't make me worry about you any more than I already do,” I whispered.Sam didn't stir.“You'd better be feeling b

“Come with me today. I'll show you what I mean.”I studied Adrian, unconvinced that his sudden appearance was anything other than another complication I didn't need. “Where?” “To meet someone who might be able to help you save Reef and Reclaim.” “Who?” “Dr. Nathaniel Bennett. He founded the Bennett Foundation, which supports healthcare, education, and community development. He's in the city today to visit one of the foundation's elder-care shelters, and I already have an appointment with him there.”“Nathaniel Bennett?” I repeated.Adrian raised an eyebrow. “You've heard of him?” “I know his foundation.” I'd come across its name while reviewing Ashworth's philanthropic partnerships. The foundation had a reputation for supporting initiatives that continued to benefit communities long after their initial funding ended. If that reputation was deserved, Bennett might be interested in Reef and Reclaim for reasons beyond its environmental work. “Which is why I thought you should meet

I picked up my own phone and stepped onto the balcony, closing the door quietly behind me before calling Vance. He answered after several rings.“What happened with the project?” I asked. “What do you mean Ashworth has become the rival?”There was a pause on the other end.“I messaged Sam because I didn't want you to know yet,” Vance said. “I was considering keeping it from him as well, but the project is directly connected to his work.”I glanced through the glass door toward the bed. “He's sick.”Vance's voice changed slightly. “What?”“He has a high fever. He got drenched yesterday during the water fight with the children, and I think the cold weather afterward made it worse. He's sleeping now.”“Is he all right?”“His fever is coming down.”I looked at Sam again before asking, “Now tell me what happened.”Vance was quiet for a moment.“The client canceled our meeting shortly before it was supposed to begin. They had already received another proposal from Ashworth.”“Ashworth?”“Yes
The Marriage He Thought Was Fake (The Revenge Affair-Book 2) Chapter 63 His Question
CALESTE's POVI woke before sunrise to the sound of Sam talking. At first, I thought he was having a conversation with someone in the room. His voice was low and uneven, the words too blurred for me to understand. I opened my eyes and turned toward him.“Sam?”He didn't answer, so I pushed myself up and turned toward him, finally taking a proper look. His face was flushed, his hair damp against his forehead, and the way he kept shifting beneath the blanket made my stomach tighten.Something was wrong.He muttered something again, but this time I caught only the last few words. “...don't go.”I reached across the space between us and touched his shoulder. “Sam, wake up.”He stirred when I called his name, but his eyes remained closed. His brow furrowed as he turned slightly toward me, mumbling something I couldn't make out before sinking deeper into the pillow.I reached for him again, this time pressing my palm against his forehead. He was burning.I pulled my hand back and reached for
The Marriage He Thought Was Fake (The Revenge Affair-Book 2) Chapter 62 The Name on the Proposal
By the time Vance brought Ethan to Horizon, his son had already decided that the office belonged to him.He walked out of the private elevator and immediately headed toward the windows, his small hands pressed against the glass as he stared down at the city. “Everyone looks tiny.”Vance set his briefcase beside his desk. “That's because you're on the top floor.”“Do you come here every day?”“Most days.”“Even when you're tired?”“Especially when I'm tired.”Ethan turned around. “That doesn't make sense.”Vance glanced at him. “Welcome to corporate life.”Ethan frowned as if that answer required further investigation, but his attention quickly shifted to the enormous desk in the middle of the room. He walked around it once before climbing into the chair opposite Vance.“Is this where you do all your work?”“Most of it.”“There are so many papers.”“That’s because I have a lot of work.”Ethan wandered closer to the desk and peered at the thick report lying open in front of Vance. “What
