The Ultimate Cure: A New Husband Chapter 100
"I've known him since I was eight or nine. It's been over ten years. Even without love, there's some sort of family bond."He took advantage of the fact that no one had my back. If my parents could see me now, in my twenties, living like this… they'd be heartbroken."I admit I'm weak. I'm afraid of losing things. But I…"Adriana sniffed, then downed a large gulp of wine."But I have nothing. Living in this world, you have to hold on to something, right?"She tilted her head back, eyes shimmering with tears and the haze of intoxication."Because of my promise to Grandma Rosie, taking care of Chris became my responsibility."Oliver, a child without parents lives each day owing a debt."Originally, the debt was only to her parents. But with them gone, every kind person who stepped into that role carried a weight far heavier than parental love.Parental debts could be ignored; debts owed to others could not.Oliver pulled out two tissues and handed them to her. "From now on, I've

Adriana had always worried about Chris, fearing he would hurt himself.But seeing Joan emerge from his room that morning, clarity struck her: the one suffering all along was herself.She was the one left alone. She was the one upholding the boundaries. She was the one repeatedly making compromises.And she hadn't even received the most basic respect in return.Chris looked at the redness in her eyes, startled. "Nothing happened between her and me. I was just with Edward. She came to my room this morning to deliver a cup of honey water."He had never imagined Adriana would care—she had never said a word.He had restrained himself even when Adriana slept beside him. How could he not when it was just Joan?"After the New Year, I'll have them move out. Just give me a little time."He wasn't angry—if anything, his mood was surprisingly good.He liked it when Adriana lost her temper at him. That's how he could feel his presence in her heart.The old Adriana had been obedient but di

Francesco: [Meet me for a cup of coffee.]Adriana ran her fingers through her silky hair, tugging at it in frustration. She knew that whenever Francesco asked to meet, it never meant anything good—and she couldn't afford any private entanglements with him anymore.Thinking of that night on the cliffside villa before her return to Gorlenza, when desire had nearly consumed her, she shivered.Holmes had once said, "The desires of the soul are the prophets of fate." If she let her cravings take hold, her destiny was bound for hell.Adriana: [I'm not involved in the project anymore moving forward.]She declined politely.Francesco: [I'm inviting you in my personal capacity.]Adriana: [Sorry, it's not convenient for us to meet privately.]Adriana thought of Bianca. Do not do unto others what you would not have done unto yourself. If she let her restless heart go unchecked, how was she any different from Joan?Francesco: [Because of Chris?]Adriana: [No, I simply don't want to see y

Adriana glanced at Edward, who had his ears perked, listening to their conversation, muttered "crazy," and quickly left the living room.Joan had grown even more unhinged than five years ago. Having someone like that constantly eyeing her felt like living beside a ticking time bomb.The next day at work, Adriana buried herself in the lab with the blueprints, building a personal defense device.The design wasn't overly complicated—she combined a high-intensity strobe light with an ultrasonic emitter, then integrated a GPS tracker and alarm system.In a dangerous situation, it would at least increase her chances of escape.Three nights later, Chris returned.Adriana froze at the sight of his ashen face. He shouldn't have looked this exhausted, not with so many people accompanying him."Chris, are you okay?"Chris rubbed his brow. "I'm fine… just a little tired."Edward tugged at his hand. "Chris, let's go sleep."Chris stroked the boy's face. "Good boy. You go on ahead and slee

Until the end of the next workday, Adriana hadn't received a reply from Chris.She had dinner with Oliver, and on the way home, she saw Joan and her son on a video call in the living room."Chris, I want a toy.""Alright. Tell your mom what New Year's gift you want."Chris's voice was clear, though a faint fatigue lingered in his tone.Joan curled up on the sofa like a shy young girl, blushing as she stared at the phone screen."We just want you to come home as soon as possible. You don't need to go through all the trouble of home gifts."Adriana changed her shoes and headed toward the elevator. Judging by the sound of his voice, Chris seemed to be in good condition."Adriana, Chris is calling on video. Do you want to talk to him?" Joan flipped the phone toward her.From the other side of the screen, another voice came through."I've got something else to do. Hanging up for now," Chris said."Bye-bye."Joan ended the call, wearing a triumphant smile."Looks like Chris does

Tonight, even the sea lay calm, the only sound the soft patter of rain on the ground.After a long pause, Francesco's low, hoarse voice broke the silence. "It's late. Get some rest.""Mm."Adriana climbed the stairs, her mind a battlefield. The serpent's voice coiled inside her, tempting her to turn back, to descend again. One word from him—one glance—and he'd see the longing she was fighting to hold back.Luckily… he didn't say a thing.She fell into the bed, face pressed into the sheets, and released the breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding.Francesco sat unmoving, eyes tracking the gentle sway of her figure as she climbed the stairs. If she had looked back just once, she would have seen the storm in his gaze—burning, unrestrained.Luckily… she didn't turn around.He sank back onto the sofa, his body easing into the cushions, the tautness in his frame slowly giving way.Outside, the wind and rain began to stir, the waves now pounding against the cliffs, keeping the
