All Chapters of His accidental husband: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

ADRIAN HALE POVI stayed pressed against Damien, but my mind wouldn’t settle. My body wanted warmth, safety but my instincts didn’t , restless, reminding me of everything waiting outside that door.He felt it immediately.“Adrian,” he said softly, nudging my chin up. “Talk to me. Something’s wrong.”“It’s nothing,” I muttered.“No.” He held my face gently, forcing me to meet his eyes. “You’re too tense. What’s going on in your head?”I swallowed. “Everything. The threats. The people still out there. I can’t just… switch it off.”“You don’t have to,” he said. “But don’t shut me out. We face this together.”I breathed out slowly against his chest. “Promise me you won’t leave. Not for anything.”“Never,” he said instantly. “Not for anyone. Not for anything.”His certainty loosened something tight in my chest. I pressed my forehead to his neck.“You say it like it’s easy.”“It is,” he said. “Because I mean it.”His phone buzzed. I stiffened, but Damien reached behind me and silenced it wi

ADRIAN HALE POV For a second, I didn’t move. I just breathed… because Damien’s arm was still around me.His hand rested on my waist, warm and heavy, and I could feel every slow rise and fall of his chest behind me.I whispered, “You awake?”His voice came out rough. “Barely. Keep talking. I like waking up to your voice.”I rolled onto my back so I could see him. His eyes were half-open, hair a mess, face soft in a way Damien rarely let anyone see. “You look exhausted,” I murmured.“And whose fault is that?” he teased, brushing his fingers through my hair.“Don’t blame me,” I said, nudging him with my shoulder. “You’re the one who wouldn’t let me go last night.”“I’m still not letting you go,” he said quietly.That tone deep and certain hit me harder than anything else. “Damien…”He shifted closer, forehead brushing mine. “What? Can’t I say it?”“You can,” I whispered, “I just don’t know how to handle it.”“You don’t have to handle anything,” he said. “You just have to look at me.”S

DAMIEN CROSS POVAdrian fell asleep with his head on my chest.It happened slowly, his breaths evening out, his body softening, his fingers still curled in the fabric of my shirt like he was afraid I’d disappear if he let go. Even in sleep he held on to me.And God, I held on to him too.I lay there in the dim room, staring up at the ceiling, feeling every quiet exhale against my skin. The weight of him wasn’t heavy. It felt like… something I never realized I’d missed. Something I didn’t know my body would relax under.Something dangerously close to home.I shouldn’t have let things get this far tonight.But the moment he kissed me, the moment he asked me not to leave him alone, everything inside me cracked wide open, and all my stupid, disciplined control fell apart.And now he was asleep in my arms.Confident enough to let go.Trusting me.That hit harder than anything else.I brushed my fingers through his hair, slow and careful. He didn’t stir. The moonlight from the window fell a

DAMIEN CROSS POVAdrian stared at me like I’d just told him the world was ending.“Pack your things,” I said quietly. “We’re leaving. Now.”He blinked fast, confusion turning to panic. “Damien, what do you mean we’re leaving? We just got here. We were fine. This house is safe.”“No,” I said. “Not anymore.”He stepped back slightly, like the air between us suddenly burned. “You’re doing it again.”“Doing what?”“Shutting me out,” he snapped. “Talking in half-sentences. Saying ‘trust me’ but not telling me anything.”I clenched my jaw. I didn’t want to fight. Not with him. Not after everything that happened.But I couldn’t tell him the full truth until I confirmed it.Adrian’s grandfather.My father.Something rotten between them was a connection that meant danger.“Adrian,” I said slowly, “please. Just… do what I’m asking.”“No!” he shouted suddenly. “I’m tired of being moved around like a problem you need to hide.”He shoved his hands through his hair. “If someone is after me, I deser

DAMIEN CROSS POVThe safe house door slammed behind us the second we stumbled inside. My chest was still heaving, adrenaline chewing through my veins like acid, but I didn’t let go of Adrian’s hand until I locked every single bolt.He was shaking quietly beside me.I wanted to go to him.I wanted to pull him close and hold him until the trembling stopped.But if I did, I knew I’d fall apart too.So I forced my voice steady.“Stay here,” I said, soft but firm.Adrian looked up at me with those red, terrified eyes.“Damien… don’t leave me.”God.That almost killed me.“I’m not going far,” I whispered.“I just need to make a call.”He nodded, swallowing hard, and I brushed my thumb against his jaw before I stepped away.The moment I turned my back, my entire body trembled with rage.Because someone had just tried to kill him.On the road.Broad daylight.Without fear.This wasn’t some warning anymore.This was assassination.I pulled out my phone and dialed Leon.He picked on the seco
