You Are Mine Chapter 46
“Make your choice, live—and fight me, fight your way to the top or die here… like a coward.”Lance’s words echo mercilessly in Adrianna’s head. Even as she sits in the grand shareholder hall of the Houston Group, her fingers keep clicking the pen in her hand—click, click, click—like a metronome to her unsteady heartbeat.The venue is packed with power. Rows of shareholders in tailored suits and jewel-toned gowns sit beneath the gleam of crystal chandeliers. The long oval conference table at the center is filled with board members, advisors, and attorneys. A massive screen dominates the front wall, currently lit up with bar graphs, pie charts, and glowing numbers.And at the podium—radiating pride and arrogance—stands Wade.“Ladies and gentlemen,” Wade says smoothly, his voice amplified by the microphone, “under my stewardship, Houston Group has experienced a twenty-one percent growth in revenue this quarter, exceeding projections.” He clicks his remote, and the next slide appears—char

“Dad, please!! Somebody please!!” Adrianna cries, her voice shattering against the walls of the study. Her body trembles under Wade’s weight, her arms weak against his chest. Panic claws through her throat, stealing her breath. If this happens—if Wade does this to her—something inside her will break forever.Her tears burn hot as her lips part in a whisper, a desperate plea escaping her trembling mouth. “Victo-rriaaa!!“Lance…”The name slices through the air like a blade. Wade stills, his smirk faltering. For a second, his pride flares—how dare she call another man? His expression hardens, then twists into mocking amusement.“Lance? Really?” Wade sneers, leaning closer, his breath foul against her cheek. “Even now, you’re crying for him? Pathetic.” His lips descend toward hers—BANG! The door crashes open.A slow clap echoes, deliberate and mocking. “What a devoted son-in-law,” Lance’s voice drawls, thick with sarcasm. “Couldn’t even wait for Mr. Houston to limp to hell before shov

The sky hangs heavy, cloaked in a blanket of thick gray clouds. The air carries a biting chill, as though the heavens themselves are mourning. The cemetery is a sea of black—long coats, veils, gloves, and polished shoes pressing into damp earth. The scent of wet grass and roses lingers in the air, mixing with the faint aroma of incense that drifts from the priest’s censer.The coffin lies at the center, gleaming dark mahogany framed by sprays of lilies. A dozen men take turns with the shovels, their movements slow and deliberate. Each scoop of earth lands with a muted thud against the coffin lid. Every sound feels like a hammer striking Adrianna’s chest. Her hands tremble, her lips quiver, and without realizing, she leans into Adrian for support. His hand is steady on her back, a quiet anchor in her storm.From the corner of her tear-blurred eyes, she sees him—Lance. He is still, tall and commanding even in grief, dressed in a tailored black designer shirt and trousers that fit him li
You Are Mine Chapter 43
“He is gone, Anna.”Victoria’s voice cracks like a fragile glass, splintering the heavy silence. Her tears soak into Adrianna’s sleeve as she clings to her arm. She never calls her Anna unless she is at her most vulnerable, and hearing it now pulls at Adrianna’s chest with an unbearable weight.Adrianna strokes her sister’s hair, rocking her gently. “Shhh… It’s okay, Vee,” she whispers, though her own throat burns. “We’ll get through this… somehow. I promise.”Her eyes wanders across the familiar living room, its high ceilings and ornate furniture pulling her deeper into memories. Every corner whispers of childhood—her father’s laughter echoing in the evenings, the stern lectures he gives when she is caught sneaking into the garden, the smell of his cologne that lingered even after he left a room.But the warmth of those memories quickly darkened. It was here, in this same house, that her father had once banned her from returning, his disappointment branding itself in her heart like f

Bianca’s gaze flicked across the room, her eyes catching the faint tremor in Adrianna’s hand as she set her glass down. That subtle, almost imperceptible break in posture… Bianca noticed it instantly.“You look… off,” Bianca said lightly, her head tilting as she studied Adrianna’s face. “Something happen?”Adrianna’s pulse spiked. The question was too close, too direct. Her mind scrambled, searching for something—anything—that would keep her from uttering the truth. The hospital call replayed in her head, but she couldn’t voice it. Not here. Not in front of them.“I—It’s nothing,” she stammered, her words slipping like sand through her fingers. “Just… a long day.”Bianca’s brows arched, a delicate mask of concern settling over her expression. “Oh? Long days don’t make people look like that. What happened?”Before Adrianna could answer, Adrian’s voice cut through the air like a steady blade.“She had a tragic night,” he said, stepping forward slightly, his gaze settling on his sister.
You Are Mine Chapter 41
The room feels too still, like a string pulled so tight it’s about to snap.“Like she said earlier, she wants to go upstairs. Can you let the lady go?” Adrian’s voice is even, polite — but there’s something beneath it, a quiet authority that makes the air shift.Adrianna’s eyes flick to Lance. She knows that tone won’t go over easily. He’s the kind of man who never yields, especially not in his own home.Lance turns slowly toward Adrian, his gaze sweeping over him with measured disdain. “Who the hell are you, and who let you inside?” His voice is low, cold — the sort of tone that says you have ten seconds to convince him not to destroy you.“Lance, can you please let this be? Adrian helped me a lot today.”Adrian doesn’t flinch. If anything, the faint smile on his lips deepens. “I’m a guest. Something important came up, and I needed to attend to it.”Lance scoffs — one sharp, humorless sound that slices through the room. Almost immediately, Robert appears with seven other men, movin
