Before Adele could even walk, a motorcycle came towards her rushing. It just passed her with a gap of inches. She jumped backwards with the sudden incident. The rider turned his neck with an evil smile before getting out of vision. Albert got out of the car in a hurry. He looked at the rides skill. That man must be a professional. Pulling Adele by hands, he pinned her on the car. "I warned you before. Leave what you are trying to do." He was scared somehow. He didn't know why suddenly he started to care about an unknown girl so much. Was that because her connection with Elijah Wilson? "I'm not here to leave. And they were just trying to scare me. No one has guts to attack me." She laughed at his concerns. Those concerns that stop her from the goal, she chose to forget them.  "You are stubborn as ever." Albert gritted his teeth. She was the first person to disobey him on his face. But the charm of her confidence never leaves a chance to impress hi

"What if I don't sign?"  Albert tightened his fist, his muscles tensed. He worked hard to rebuild the Knight Enterprises. Maybe he had another businesses, but this was the closest to him. He couldn't afford to lose it. "Afraid?" Adele mocked his vulnerability. She smirked while going through the papers again. She didn't care about his property or name. But she was also not ready to sign those papers only for his happiness. Of course he didn't treat her well. "What's your connection with Elijah Wilson?" He again asked in a stern voice.  "And why are you so concerned about him?" She also raised her voice.  Albert was shocked to see her shouting. She never did it before. He looked at those papers once again. He took some deep breaths to calm himself. Then said softly, "If you don't want to sign, then don't. No force." Adele was taken aback by his sudden change. Wasn't the reason he found her? Then why did he suddenly start

Adele's POV  Dad! Albert had dad's picture in his bedroom?! It's been a long I've seen him even in pictures. I didn't take any of his memories with me. Because I never wanted anyone to know my real identity. I bent down to the nightstand beside his bed and took that frame in my hand. I slowly trailed my finger over the frame feeling the warmth of dad's hand. I could remember his scent, that made me feel protected.  I felt someone's gaze on me. For some good moments, I forgot I was not the only one in the room. It was Albert's room and he was also there, right behind me. "Who's he to you?" His cold tone never knew how to leave. I had a lot of trust issues. Is it good to let him know? The person who abandoned me right after the wedding. Then found me again for some signatures. That so called husband could never be believed. But again, he was the person who saved me though it was not needed. He met me again and again bef

"Adele!" Rose was blinking her eyes looking at her with shock. Eva was standing with her mouth wide open. Blake and Noah were looking at her up to down.   "What? Have you seen any ghost?" Adele asked being irritated by their gaze. They had been looking at her since she entered the office. Even every employee was looking at her with those expressions. She was thinking from the beginning what was their reasons.   "Tell me truthfully girl, are you stalking Albert Knight?" Eva said pointing her index finger at her., "You have been to the CEO's office more than anyone ever did. And today you came with him. How?"   Adele was surprised how they knew about it. She got down the car on the road to avoid these gossips. But bad luck!   "You were in his car, right? Your picture has become the hot topic in our office gossip page." Blake said with a smirk.   Well, there was a gossip page too? H

"You were scared last night?" Adele asked suddenly remembering his words. She couldn't ask him back then. His kiss was soft and tender, in which she was compelled to melt. She never thought she would accept a kiss from the so called husband, her first kiss. She was wondering how much affect this man had on her from the first meeting. The affects were increasing day by day. Inspite of their ignored marriage, she started to feel something for him. Albert turned his head after hearing the question. He remembered their first kiss. He was glad she didn't push him away even started kissing him back later.  "What do you think?" He chose to let her find the answer herself. It's been 14 years since he started to find her. Even after his marriage his only thought was around that little cute Amber whom he promised to protect with his life. Though he failed once, he wanted to make up for it. Now he fo
