All Chapters of THE CEO'S SECRET REDEMPTION : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

The message burned in Adrian’s mind long after he’d put the phone down.“The game isn’t over, Knight.”He had stared at those words for what felt like hours that night, the firelight shown across his face while Gabriel drifted in and out of sleep on the couch beside him. Outside, the rain had begun again soft at first, then steady, tapping against the windows ....Adrian didn’t reply. He didn’t delete it either. He simply sat there, silent, trying to figure out who that could be...he tried tracing the numbers that had sent the message. It wasn’t any number he recognized not corporate, not personal. It felt… deliberate. Someone was reminding him that victory was temporary.When Gabriel woke up slightly, his head resting against Adrian’s shoulder, Adrian slipped the phone face down onto the table. Gabriel mumbled softly, eyes still closed.Baby can’t sleep ???Adrian ran a hand through his hair, forcing a small smile. No my “ Am Just thinking.”Gabriel’s voice was husky with drowsin

The following morning began with a beautiful Grey overcast skies and the scent of coffee drifting through the kitchen felt so pleasant... Gabriel was humming softly to himself as he made breakfast, his shirt so tight on his chest ...his barefoot against the tile. The domestic quiet was the kind of peace Adrian used to think only belonged to other people.But his phone sat on the counter beside him, screen dark and ominous, and he couldn’t stop glancing at it.He hadn’t told Gabriel about the latest message. Not yet. Maybe it was cowardice, or maybe it was protection of Gabriel, of Elias, of the fragile calm they’d finally begun to rebuild. Whatever the reason, the silence felt heavier by the hour...Hey There, Gabriel said, glancing over his shoulder. You’re staring into that cup like it insulted you .Adrian blinked back to focus and forced a small smile..Nah not at all just thinking ...“Mm-hm.” Gabriel raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. “You’ve been ‘just thinking’ for three days n

The tension had begun to live in the air between Adrian and Gabriel like a third presence ,silent, invisible, but always there.After the photo Isabella sent, Adrian doubled security around their home and office. Every night, he checked the cameras twice before going to bed, and Gabriel could see how the fear gnawed at him. The shadows under Adrian’s eyes deepened, his voice was quieter, his laughter rare...He was truly paranoid....At first, Gabriel tried to be patient. He knew trauma didn’t fade overnight. But soon, he began to sense that Adrian wasn’t just protecting them from Isabella he was also protecting her.It started with the calls. Late-night phone vibrations, Adrian’s voice low, controlled, always stepping into another room before answering. The conversations never lasted long, but Gabriel noticed the shift in his eyes when he returned guilt mixed with something that looked like pity.One evening, Gabriel couldn’t hold it in anymore...“Was that her again?” he asked quietl

The air around Knight Tower finally felt breathable again. For the first time in months, the storms that had shadowed Adrian Knight’s life began to fade into a long, soft exhale. The headlines about Isabella Moreau had been replaced with corporate news, market updates, and politics the kind of noise Adrian could live with…He was rebuilding not just the company, but something far more fragile: his life. His family...Gabriel and Elias had become the rhythm that anchored him. Every morning began with Elias’s laughter echoing through the penthouse as Gabriel tried and often failed to convince the boy to eat breakfast before cartoons. Adrian would watch them from the kitchen counter, coffee in hand, a small, genuine smile tugging at his lips. It was a kind of peace he’d thought he’d never earn...And Gabriel…Gabriel had softened. Not in strength, but in how he looked at Adrian now no longer guarded, no longer waiting for him to break the world around them. Their love was slow, care

.The days following the verdict had been filled with a quiet kind of bliss the kind that didn’t need grand gestures or declarations. For the first time in years, Adrian and Gabriel were living, not surviving. The chaos of lawsuits, betrayals, and broken loyalties had settled into a rare calm..It was everything and more Gabriel ever wanted … Mornings began with sunlight spilling through their bedroom window, the sound of waves rolling in the distance, and the faint laughter of Elias running down the hallway. Gabriel often woke first, curled against Adrian’s chest, tracing lazy patterns along his skin while the world outside their walls remained mercifully still. Adrian would smile that rare, unguarded smile he only wore when Gabriel was near and pull him closer, whispering something soft and unhurried against his neck. The romance between them had deepened into something steadier, richer. Gone was the tension of uncertainty; in its place was a devotion that felt both new and famil
