All Chapters of His accidental husband: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Damien’s POVI couldn’t believe Evelyn had died.Rain kept falling outside the old safehouse. And her last words wouldn’t leave my head.Take care of him.Her son. My son too.Adrian sat near the fireplace, tapping the baby slowly, while singing a song. The light from the fire touched his face, tired, red-eyed, still looking sexy in the pains. I wanted to hold him. To tell him it would all be fine. But nothing was fine anymore. Anytime I say that someone must always happen.“You should rest,” I said quietly.He looked up. “And you?”“I can’t.”A small laugh slipped from his lips. I. “You never can.”Silence again. The baby moved a little, making a tiny sound. Adrian pressed his hand gently on his back.“What are you thinking?” I asked.“That everything keeps falling apart,” he said, eyes on the flames. “First your father’s secrets, then Evelyn… now this child. And I don’t even know what he is.”“He’s a baby,” I said.He looked at me. “Is he, Damien? You saw his eyes.”I didn’t answer.

Adrian’s POV“Damien, what did she mean?” I asked as soon as we got into the car.Damien didn’t look at me. “Nothing,” he said quietly.“That wasn’t nothing,” I said. “She said someone close to you betrayed you. You went quiet, Damien. Tell me what’s going on.”He still didn’t answer.I leaned forward, my voice rising. “Damien, talk to me!”He finally looked at me, “I said I’ll handle it, Adrian.”“Handle what? You’re shutting me out again! I have the right to know this affects both of us!”He pressed his lips together and said, “Not now.”I wanted to scream. “You’re hiding something again, aren’t you?”He said nothing. Just drove faster.“Damien,” I whispered. “You promised no more secrets.” “This isn’t about secrets. It’s about keeping you safe.” He said calmly.“Safe from who? From Kane or from whoever you think is betraying you?”He exhaled. “Both.”I stared at him, trying to calm my heartbeat. “You think it’s someone we know?”He gave a small nod. “Yes.”“Who?”“I don’t know yet

Adrian’s Hale POVI couldn’t sleep that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the boy’s face, Liam.The way he looked at Damien like he already knew him.Like he’d been waiting for him.I sat up in bed, my arms wrapped around my knees. He hadn’t said much since we came home. Every time I asked if he was okay, he just said, I’m fineBut he wasn’t fine.It was 4am.I threw on a hoodie and went downstairs. Damien was sitting on the couch, elbows on his knees, staring at his phone like he was waiting for someone to call.“Damien,” I said calmly.He didn’t look up. “Go back to bed, Adrian.”“No,” I said, walking closer. “You’ve been acting weird all night.”He sighed, rubbing his fingers on his nose. “It’s nothing.”“Stop saying that,” I muttered. “You think I don’t notice? You looked like you saw a ghost when that boy said Ethan’s name.”That made him finally look at me. His eyes were red, tired. “Because it felt like seeing one.”I frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”He didn’t

Adrian Hale POV“Damien, are you sure about this?” I asked calmly, sitting across from me at the kitchen table.He looked tired. He had dark lines under his eyes, and his fingers kept rubbing his temple. “You’ve asked me that five times, Adrian.”“Because you keep changing your mind,” I said. “One day you want to adopt, the next day you say we’re not ready.”He sighed. “I’m not changing my mind. I just want us to think clearly before making a lifetime choice.”“We’ve been thinking for months,” I said, voice rising a little. “We’ve filled out the forms, met the social worker, and visited the center. What else do you want?”He looked at me then, “I just want to be sure this time we’re doing it for the right reason.”I swallowed. “You think I’m doing it for the wrong reason?”He didn’t answer.“Damien,” I whispered, my heart beating fast. “Say it.”He looked down. “Sometimes it feels like you want to fill a hole. Not build something new.” “Maybe that’s what love is trying to heal the

Damien Cross POVThe message from Julian kept ringing in my head. “Don’t trust Adrian. He’s hiding something. Check the adoption papers again.”I sat on the bed, my phone in my hand. The room was quiet. Adrian was in the shower.I didn’t want to believe Julian. That man had caused enough damage already. But something about that message it feels strange.When Adrian came out, towel he said and smiled. “You’re up early. Couldn’t sleep?”“Yeah,” I said, slipping my phone into my pocket.He looked at me for a second. “You look weird. What’s wrong?”“Nothing,” I said quickly.“Don’t do that,” he said. “Don’t shut me out again.”I stood up, ran a hand through my hair. “I’m not. I just have things on my mind.”“Is it about the adoption?” he asked.“Maybe,” I said. “Maybe it’s about trust.” “What do you mean?”I looked at him for a long time. “I just hope we’re both being honest. About everything.”He stared at me, confused. “Damien, what’s going on?”I didn’t answer. I didn’t want to thro
