​POV: Adrian

The 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 Amelia’s 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 hadn’t 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 I’d 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

  • What the Heart didn't Know   Family Secrets Unearthed

    Amelia’s POV ​The 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.​I 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 wasn’t 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 Know   The Reappearance

    Adrian’s POV ​I 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. “Amelia, 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. – B”I didn't need to ask or think twice. It was Brandon, h

  • What the Heart didn't Know   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 hadn’t 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. I’d 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: “Q3 Budget Rework.” My brow wrinkled. I hadn’t approved a budget rework. I was still operating on the Q3 p

  • What the Heart didn't Know   The Secret Weapon

    Adrian’s 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 you’re so much more than that. You’re 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. I’d 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 Know   A Name that Burns

    POV: Adrian---The rain had cleared up by morning, but the tension still lingered. Adrian leaned against the window, watching water drip from the eaves in a steady rhythm. The kitchen was quiet, Amelia was upstairs with Nora, probably trying to act like last night’s events hadn’t rocked her world. He didn’t hold it against her. She was barely hanging on. But Adrian had to keep it together. Now wasn’t the time to fall apart. He grabbed his keys from the hook by the door. “I’ll be back in a bit!” he called out, just loud enough for Amelia to hear, but not loud enough to wake Nora.No reply. Not that he was expecting one. ---The city felt a bit chillier than usual, or maybe it was just him. Adrian pulled his hood lower and kept his gaze down as he made his way into the back of an auto garage on the south side. The guy he was meeting was already there, arms crossed, covered in grease and attitude. “Didn’t think I’d see you again,” the guy said, flicking his cigarette onto the co
