LOGINThird person's POV…Adrian’s eyes were still wide in surprise but he didn’t pull away. He just sat there, frozen, his eyes open as Tracy kissed him. He sat there, watching, confused, trying to understand what had just happened.What is wrong with Tracy? He wondered, but he didn't say anything.Slowly, Tracy pulled away. Their eyes met for a brief second before Adrian lifted his hand and placed the back of it against her neck.“Do you have a fever?” he asked, his brows slightly furrowed.Tracy shook her head, a small smile forming on her lips. “Someone was watching,” she said simply.Then she stepped out of the car, grabbed her bag, and shut the door.Adrian remained seated, completely stunned. Through the tinted glass, he watched her walk away, his mind struggling to process everything.His hand moved to his chest. His heart was beating fast.“Someone was watching…” he repeated under his breath. But that didn’t make sense. Their engagement hadn’t even been officially announced yet. S
Third person's POV…Adrian sat on the edge of the bed. His elbows rested on his knee and his hands pressed against his temples as if trying to hold his thoughts together.The room was quiet. Then, the bathroom door opened. He lifted his head slightly.Tracy stepped out. Her hands were slightly wet, strands of her hair damp around her face.Adrian let out a small, dry chuckle. “You didn’t have to do all that,” he said. “Besides… I didn’t ask you to do anything for me.”She had insisted on washing his shirt that was condemned by the hot tea.Tracy smiled faintly. “I know,” she replied softly. “But I wanted to.”He scoffed. “You're making me get really suspicious of you and your motives, you know that? Two… I can easily dispose of the cloth" He straightened slightly, his eyes narrowing at her.“Why?” he asked. His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried weight. “Why are you doing this?”Tracy didn’t respond immediately.Adrian continued. “Because the last time I checked, you didn’t care.”His
Third person's POV…Tracy stood frozen. Her fingers trembled as they clutched each other tightly, her nails digging into her skin.Her eyes remained fixed on Adrian. His words echoed in her head over and over again.“My life took the exact wrong turn the moment you came into it.”Her chest tightened painfully as regret flooded her completely.Why did I say those things?Before she could find the right words, Stephanie walked back into the room.She raised both hands slightly. “I’m not trying to intrude on whatever this is,” she said carefully, “but…” She lifted her phone and showed it to Adrian. “Aria is calling.”Both Tracy and Adrian looked at the screen. My Lovely Niece flashed across it.Stephanie sighed lightly. “And she’s not the only one.”She tapped her phone again and scrolled. “Your parents have been texting me non-stop. They’re asking about your whereabouts.”She glanced at him meaningfully. “Your security said you haven’t been home for two weeks.”Tracy’s eyes widened slig
Third person's POV... Tracy placed her hand over her mouth as she sobbed. She couldn't believe that she had become the exact monster she was running from while in school. She remembered how she felt then, and understood how Adrian must be feeling now. To be constantly reminded of something you're trying to change haunted her for six years of her life.“But I’m not saying this to compare myself with Aria” His voice softened. “All I’m saying is… people should remember that I’m human. I have feelings. I can get hurt.”Another long pause followed. “At this rate… I’m just tired of being some billionaire everyone talks about. I just want to live a normal life. A quiet life. Not being known by everyone. Just peace.”Outside the door, tears rolled down Tracy’s cheeks. Her knees slowly gave way and she sank to the ground.Did he really feel that way… because of me? Did I really make him feel like that?Then suddenly…“Woof! Woof! Woof!”The loud barking startled her, making her jump to her
Third person's POV…The car moved quietly along the empty road. Inside, the silence was heavy. The only sound filling the car was the steady hum of the engine as it ran across the smooth tarred road.Tracy sat in the back seat, staring blankly through the window. But she wasn’t really seeing anything outside.Her mind was somewhere else.Aria’s voice echoed again inside her head.‘You hurt him, Tracy. You really hurt him’Her fingers slowly curled into fists on her lap.What exactly did Adrian tell Aria? A wave of irritation rose inside her.For a moment, she wanted to be angry at him. Why would he tell her anything?But almost immediately, the anger faded, because another thought followed.Tracy… you pushed him anyway. Her shoulders slumped slightly. Yes. She had.Aria’s final words replayed again in her mind."I'm not going to interfere in your business, and I'm definitely not going to tell you what he said to me. But I just want to tell you something. I don't want you and Adrian to
Third person's POV... She closed her eyes briefly. Don’t think about it too much. Just go there… and see what happens.The drive wasn't a long one. About twenty minutes later, the car slowed as they pulled into another grand estate.Tracy’s mouth slowly fell open. Before her stood Aria’s house. It was breathtaking.Soft lights lined the pathways, illuminating a beautiful swimming pool at the center of the courtyard. Elegant architecture rose around it, blending luxury with artistic charm.Tracy stepped out of the car slowly, her eyes wandering everywhere.She couldn’t help but wonder… Which was more beautiful?The Blackwood family mansion?Adrian’s house?Or Aria’s?All three seemed impossibly luxurious. Her gaze drifted around the courtyard in amazement.How can someone live alone in a house this big?She stood near the pool, admiring the glowing lights reflected on the water.“You like the view, huh?”The voice came suddenly behind her.Tracy jumped and her foot slipped. Before she
Darren's POV…I didn't know how Aria had ended up in my bed. She must have taken advantage of my condition and vulnerability last night. I was so mad at myself for having drunk. I was even more mad at myself that Alina saw Aria and I tangled in bed. The hatred and anger I saw in her eyes dug deep
Third person's POV… Alina lay sprawled on the floor, in a pool of her own blood. Miriam knelt beside her, holding her tight and screaming for help. “Please, somebody help. Is anyone there?” Miriam screamed at the top of her voice. Since she arrived, she hadn't seen any housekeepers or servants th
Darren’s POV… The restaurant Alessio chose was tucked away on a quiet street, dimly lit, the kind of place you only found if you were looking for it. I’d been here once, years ago, for a meeting that lasted all of twenty minutes before gunfire broke out in the alley. Tonight, the place was quiet. T
Darren’s POV…The book lay open in my hands, but the words blurred into meaningless shapes. I’d been staring at the same page for… God knows how long. The quiet in the study was oppressive, the kind of silence that made every stray thought echo louder.I tried to focus. Tried to read the paragraph
