“…Adrian.”

Sarah’s voice cut through gently.

He blinked.

Looked back at her.

“What?” he said, a little too quickly.

Sarah tilted her head slightly.

“You’ve been somewhere else since we got here.”

Adrian leaned back in his chair.

“I’m fine.”

Sarah didn’t respond immediately.

She studied him.

The way his fingers tapped once—then stopped.

“You’re not,” she said simply.

    The drive back to Adrian's mansion was unusually quiet.Not uncomfortable.Not awkward.Just peaceful.For once, neither of them felt the need to fill every moment with conversation.Everything that needed to be said had already been said.Adrian's apology.His promise.His request for another chance.The words still lingered in Selena's heart.And judging from the occasional glance he sent her way, they lingered in his mind too.When they finally arrived at the mansion, neither seemed eager to leave the car.Adrian turned off the engine.Silence settled between them.Selena looked down at her hands.A nervous smile tugged at her lips.For the first time in years, she felt hopeful.Dangerously hopeful."You're smiling."She looked up.Adrian was watching her.Amused."I am not.""You are.""I am not."His grin widened."You definitely are."Selena rolled her eyes."You're impossible.""And yet you're still here."Her cheeks immediately warmed.Adrian looked entirely too pleased with h

  • Twisted INTENTIONS    Chapter Eighty Six

    For the first time in a very long time, Selena felt at peace.It was a strange feeling.Almost unfamiliar.For months, her life had been consumed by secrets, betrayals, misunderstandings, and battles she never asked for.Every morning she woke up preparing for another fight.Another accusation.Another problem.But lately...Things had changed.Adrian had changed.The cold distance that once existed between them was gone.The distrust that had poisoned their marriage had begun to disappear.Slowly.Carefully.But it was happening.And that terrified her.Because the happier she became, the more she feared losing it.The afternoon sun filtered through the office windows as she sat reviewing documents.A soft knock interrupted her concentration.Before she could answer, Adrian walked in.His presence still had the same effect on her.Annoyingly.Her heart reacted before her brain did."Busy?"Selena looked at the small pile of files."Not really.""Good."That single word made her suspi

    For the next two weeks, something changed between Adrian and Selena.Not dramatically.Not overnight.But enough.Enough for people to notice.Enough for them to notice.The tension that had once defined every interaction slowly disappeared.The constant misunderstandings faded.The walls between them became smaller.Day by day.Conversation by conversation.Until eventually being around each other felt natural again.Comfortable.Dangerously comfortable.And neither seemed interested in stopping it.Monday morning began like any other.Selena arrived at the office carrying a stack of reports.The moment she entered her department, Sarah appeared.Looking entirely too pleased with herself.Which was usually a bad sign."Good morning."Selena narrowed her eyes."No."Sarah blinked."I haven't said anything.""You were about to."Sarah laughed.Unfortunately, that confirmed Selena's suspicion.The woman was impossible.Completely impossible.Sarah leaned against the desk."So...""No."

    For the first time in a very long while, Adrian Laurent found himself distracted.Not by business.Not by company problems.Not by financial reports.By Selena.The realization irritated him.Slightly.Only because it happened far too often lately.He was reviewing a contract when her laugh drifted from outside his office.Immediately his attention shifted.Without permission.Without reason.The sound was followed by Sarah's voice.Then another laugh.Adrian stared at the document in front of him.The words suddenly seemed less important.Ridiculous.Completely ridiculous.He forced himself to continue reading.Unfortunately, it wasn't working.Because a few seconds later, Selena walked past his office.And once again his concentration disappeared.This was becoming a problem.A serious problem.A problem he had absolutely no desire to solve.Meanwhile, Selena was having problems of her own.Specifically—Sarah.The woman had become unbearable.Ever since the successful client presen

    For the first time in months, Selena woke up feeling hopeful.Not happy.Not completely at peace.But hopeful.It was a strange feeling.One she wasn't entirely sure she trusted.The past few years had taught her that happiness was fragile.The moment you relaxed, something happened.Something always happened.Yet as she got ready for work that morning, she couldn't stop thinking about Adrian.His apology.His patience.The way he had gradually lowered his walls.The way he looked at her lately.As though she mattered.As though she wasn't simply another employee.Or another problem.Or another mistake.The thought made her smile despite herself.Unfortunately, the smile disappeared the second she realized she was smiling."Get a grip, Selena."She groaned.Then grabbed her bag and headed for work.The atmosphere inside Laurent Enterprises was noticeably lighter.The client presentation was finally complete.Months of preparation.Weeks of revisions.Countless sleepless nights.Everyt
