What the Heart didn't KnowĀ Ā Ā A Fragile Alliance
The quietness of the safe house was suffocating. It had been like this for hours, ever since I had left her alone with the sharp knife words of my own lies and the memories of her toxic ex. I had to do something. I had to make the call. I had to tell the truth. But first, I needed to gather my rangers. I drove out of the city, my mind was filled with fragmented thoughts. The flash drive was a ticking time bomb in my pocket. The names and the faces of her family's past, the connections to my own, and the truth about the plane crash, it was a devastating cocktail. I had to tell her everything but I couldn't risk it until I had a plan. Her fractured family was the key to the whole case. She might not trust them, but they were the only ones who could stand a chance against Branwyn Hayes's deep-rooted influence.I pulled over to a deserted gas station and took out my burner phone which Martha had given me. I dialed the first name on the list, it was a number from a contact in my father's o
What the Heart didn't KnowĀ Ā Ā Family Secrets Unearthed
Ameliaās POV āThe world felt like a powder I had just blown on. My breath let out a simple exhale of shock, and had sent everything I knew about my life tumbling down. Lyra. The name I remember, which was once a comforting thought of an old friend has now tasted like ash. My office, which was once my sanctuary, now felt like a cage. How could I have been so blind? I had been so busy building a fortress around my heart that I had let a wolf into my home. The air felt thin, heavy with the weight of my own unintentional failure.āI was numb while sitting in the silence of my office. The rage I felt was a cold, quiet thing and a new kind of fury. It wasnāt the explosive anger I felt after the attack; it was a slow and deliberate burn. I had to get up. I had to do something. I had to face her, expose her, make her pay. But every move I made felt like a step into a thick vapor. I couldn't trust anyone, and I was terrified of what would happen if I took the wrong step.A soft knock at the
What the Heart didn't KnowĀ Ā Ā The Reappearance
Adrianās POV āI felt the same way like a man living in a smoke, stuck between two worlds. The one where I was a bodyguard protecting Amelia and the one where I was the only person who knew the truth about the murder that took her family from her. I had to tell her because I couldn't keep this secret anymore. But every time I looked at her, I saw the haunted look in her eyes and I choked on the words but she was barely holding on. What would the truth do to her? Would it ruin her completely or would it finally set her free? The first sign of trouble popped up in a text message on her old phone, the one she had left at the office which was with me, a ghost of her past life. The message was from a number I didn't recognize but the content was really familiar. āAmelia, a close friend of mine, told me you were hurt. I'm so sorry about that. I'm back in the city if you ever want to talk. We can pick it up from where we left off. ā BāI didn't need to ask or think twice. It was Brandon, h
What the Heart didn't KnowĀ Ā Ā Fractures and Fissures
POV: AmeliaThe city felt suffocating after days of being caged like a prisoner in a safe house. The air in my office had the familiar scent of lemon polish and old papers, a comfort I hadnāt realized I missed.Within the walls of my own company, I was Amelia Hayes: the CEO, the force of nature, the woman who commanded a room with a single look. This was my sanctuary. I sat down in my leather chair, the one with the perfect mold for my back, and opened my laptop. It was time to get back to work and stop thinking about Adrian. Iād been away for too long. My assistant, Thomas, had briefed me on the way over in the car, but the details were unclear. All I knew was that I needed to take back the power to feel that familiar surge of power that came from knowing I was in control of my own destiny. A new email notification popped up. It was from my assistant. The subject line read: āQ3 Budget Rework.ā My brow wrinkled. I hadnāt approved a budget rework. I was still operating on the Q3 p
What the Heart didn't KnowĀ Ā Ā The Secret Weapon
Adrianās POV She stood up and walked to the door, telling me to follow. "You said he was looking for security measures, right? He doesn't know you were trained by the best. He thinks that he's playing against a bodyguard, but youāre so much more than that. Youāre family and you are fighting for the family. But that's not all, you have to look where he isn't. You have to anticipate his next move even before he makes it".She led me to a small, unassuming office at the back of her house. It was a mess of papers, books, and old computer parts. Iād never seen it before. "Your father never stopped looking out for you, even when you left him ", she said, pointing to a small black case on a cluttered desk. "He asked me to hold on to this in case you ever needed it. He said he hoped you never would ".I opened the case, my hands trembling. The inside of the case was nestled in a velvet lining, with a flash drive. A small, elegant-looking device that looked like something out of a spy movi
What the Heart didn't KnowĀ Ā Ā Unseen Enemies
āPOV: AdrianThe night was very silent, but in the small hours of the morning, it just changed its rhythm. The low sound of the distant traffic was a different kind of silence than the one in Ameliaās house. Now it's quiet, I can finally think. The name Branwyn Hayes was a poison on my tongue and a pain, a new enemy I hadnāt prepared for, and I knew the danger of a man like Gary, who is desperate, and a pathetic vulture. I knew the deceit of a woman like Lyra, driven by a petty, unresolved jealousy. But this? This was different. This was family, a wolf in the fold, and the worst kind of danger is the one that is already close enough to touch.My phone was still warm from the call Iād just made. The other phase. It felt more like a plan and more like a line I was crossing. I would have walked away from the family business years ago for a genuine reason, but I didn't want to be this guy who moved in the shadows and made problems disappear. But Amelia.... She made me be a different kind
