CHAPTER TEN

ADRIAN’S POV

I had woken up in the early hours of the morning. I was in Germany for a business meeting. I had a busy and crazy schedule for the coming days.

I hopped out of the shower with water dripping down my body and a towel wrapped around my waist. My phone had been ringing for a while. I picked it up and saw six missed calls from an unknown number. It certainly wasn’t a mistake. I was about to call the number when another call from it came through.

I answered and the person on the other line was silent for a while. Maybe I was wrong, maybe it was a scammer calling me.

“Hello. Who is this?” I asked.

“Hello.” The voice said and I got flashbacks. I could remember the sound of that voice calling my name while we were in bed together. I tried so hard to forget the sound of her voice and here she was again. What did she want?

I quickly ended the call. I had to think fast. I didn’t want her to contact me ever again. I deactivated the number immediately. I had multiple numbe

    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN ADRIAN’S POV“What?” Both Sebastian and I said at the same time.“Who’s missing?” I asked.“One of the guys from yesterday.” He said. “We were all here last night and I just noticed that he's gone.”“Just noticed he’s gone?” Sebastian scoffed.“I'm sorry, sir. My mind has been everywhere.” He apologized.“What's his name?” I asked.“It’s Lucas. He was one of the people responsible for guarding the back.”“And how did he get out? I have a clear instruction not to let anybody out.” He didn’t reply, just bit his lip in shame. “Get security footage from around. Find him and get him back to me alive. He just made the biggest mistake of his life.” I said and we drove off. We had to go to the house first. The issue wasn’t something that could be solved completely in just a few hours.The ride to the house was silent on my end. Sebastian was making calls trying to retrieve the security footage. We were also working on tracking the goods.We got to the house in a few minutes.

    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN ADRIAN’S POVThe next morning when I woke up, the first thing I did was check my phone to see if I had gotten a reply from Isabella. I hadn’t. I sighed and walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.I came out of the bathroom with a small towel in hand to dry my face. I picked up my phone and got out of the room. I made my way to the gym. Normally Sebastian would be there waiting for me but it seemed he wasn’t up yet. I picked up my dumbbells and started my sets. After about 25 minutes, Seb walked in. He didn’t look like he was just waking up. He was fully dressed for the day.“Why are you dressed?” I asked.“We have to go.” He said.“Go where?” I was confused. It was too early in the morning to be leaving for anything.“I got a call from Matteo. There's a problem at the warehouse in Malta.”“What kind of problem?”“Our warehouse was attacked. All our hoods have been stolen. Including the important shipment that came in last night.” He explained.“H

    CHAPTER SIXTEENADRIAN’S POV“Wow. I really thought you forgot about her too. Had no idea you kept in touch with her.” I leaned back in my seat.He shook his head in disappointment. I didn’t know how I’d managed to forget about her. How could I forget that I’d gotten someone pregnant? I wondered how she would react to seeing me after all these years.I closed my eyes and all the memories from that night came back to me. I remembered everything vividly now. It started to click for me. I hadn’t had anything like that after her. She was really one of a kind.We finally got to the house and we got out of the car. We got into the house and while I was passing the living room, I spotted someone.“Ginny, what are you doing here?” I asked.“I wanted to come see you. I was waiting for you to get back from work.” She answered in her soft voice and walked up to me.“I'm not in the mood. Leave.” I said and continued walking up the stairs.“Adrian, what happened? Did you have a bad day? I can fix

    CHAPTER FIFTEEN ADRIAN’S POV“Adrian, when are you going to bring me a grandchild? You’re not getting any younger. You need someone to continue the legacy.” My mum nagged at me around the house.“Mother, I don’t have time for this right now. I’ve told you, I'm not interested in bringing a life to this world.” I answered.She slapped my back. “That’s nonsense. I’ve told you to stop saying that. Who’s going to take over God forbid you're gone one day.”“You're planning to kill me?” I chuckled.“Stop all this nonsense talk, Adrian. You need to take what I’m saying seriously.”“I’ll think about it, mother. Goodbye.” I walked out of the house and got into the car where my assistant was waiting for me.“Where to?” The driver asked.“The hospital.” I sighed.“You still have that meeting in an hour.” My assistant announced.“Push it back a little. We won’t spend much time in the hospital.” I just had to get my test results from the doctor. My mother's pressure was getting to me but I didn’t

You already have a toy in your bag. Keep that on the table.”“But I want to take him out with me.” He pouted. “Please, mummy.”He crouched down so I was at his level. “I already told you yesterday that you couldn’t take him out.” I collected the toy from him and dropped it on the table. “You can keep it here and when we’re back you can play with it all you want, okay?”“Okay.” He backed down.“Now put on your shoes.” Since we were almost late, I would have helped him to put them on but he wouldn’t let me. We were at that stage where he wanted to do everything by himself, even though it took us a longer time.I watched him struggle with it for a while before he finally got it. “I did it.” He jumped in e

    CHAPTER THIRTEENISABELLA’S POVI didn’t even have to explain too much to Jess before she agreed to come. She only heard that I was in the hospital and didn't think twice. Before she arrived, the doctor came in to check up on me.“How are you feeling?” She asked.“A bit tired.” I answered. “Can I go home now?” “Yes, you absolutely can. You just need to take a lot of time to rest. The man who was here earlier informed me that you had severe anemia. We had to run some extra tests. You will need to come in weekly so we can monitor your health and make sure you are in good shape. The baby’s also fine so you don’t need to worry about that.” She said.“I already have weekly appointments at another hospital. And I don't think I will be able to afford to come here weekly.” The place looked very expensive.“The man from earlier already paid for your weekly visits so you don’t have to worry about that and he insisted that you get treatment here.”“Oh.” I muttered. I thought about it. Since he
