Chapter 32 Adrian's POVMy hands raised to stop Marcus."I'm fine." But the words came out slowly. I wasn't fine. Only two people knew about my health: my doctor and Marcus. My eyes slowly rose to him. He flashed me a smile and dragged me to the chair behind my desk. My body went where he pushed it, but my mind was elsewhere."Boss, breathe. Boss...""Don't tell me to breathe!" My fist slammed against the desk. The phone rattled. A glass tipped over and shattered on the floor.I stood up. Then I sat down. Then I stood up again and began pacing the room."Marcus, who do you think is responsible for this news leak? Six months? The sponsors are panicking now."He shrugged. "I believe it's Elliot, Boss."I stopped in my tracks. Elliot, yes. He said so himself."Call the lawyers. All of them. Every single one on retainer. I want them in this office in thirty minutes.""Boss, it's five in the evening...""I don't give a damn what time it is!" I continued pacing back and forth. My shoes squ

Chapter 34Adrian's POVMarcus pressed play on his phone, and Elena's voice filled the room from the recording."Your mother started the fire. I watched her from the window. I saw everything..."It continued, and I listened to the whole thing."Elena isn't going to confess willingly," Marcus predicted.I nodded slowly. I guessed so too."Send it to the lawyers," I said. "And make three copies."Marcus raised an eyebrow. "The third is for?""The president," I said slowly."He's been threatening to abandon me. Let's give him a reason to stay." Marcus was quiet for a while."But you have something else to use against him."A smile appeared on my lips. "If he tries something worse, which he likely will, then we'll use that against him.""You're too wise," Marcus said, and we both burst out laughing."And Elena? What if she finds out we recorded her and does something drastic?"I walked to the window. The city stretched out below me."She won't. Because she thinks I'm considering her propo

Chapter 36Adrian's POVThe drive to Luca's clinic took nineteen minutes. I counted every one. I was anxious to see her. I believed staying away from her was keeping her safe, but now, I thought wrong.Marcus parked the car a block away, beneath a broken streetlight. The neighborhood was quiet, filled with old buildings and dark windows. Lawns that hadn't been touched in years."You want me to come?" Marcus asked."No.""Boss, if something happens…""It won't. It's Luca." I opened the door. "Wait here. And keep the engine running."I walked alone. The sidewalk cracked beneath my shoes. In the distance, a dog kept barking and then stopped.The brownstone was exactly where Luca said it would be. But it had no signs or lights. Just a door.It was unlocked, and I stepped inside. The hallway was narrow. This was a hospital and I had to be quiet.Voices drifted from the back room. I recognized hers immediately. Eva. My chest tightened.I stayed in the hallway and listened.Luca was speaking

Chapter 38Eva's POVI woke up to the ceiling above me. My mouth tasted like soured dough and rust.Where am I? The smell that hit me next was antiseptic. I was in a hospital. I tried to sit up. A sharp pain shot through my ribs. I gasped and fell back against the pillows."You're awake." A soft voice called. It was the nurse. She stood at the foot of my bed, a clipboard in her hand."What happened?" My voice came out scratchy."You fainted, dear. Your boyfriend brought you in about two hours ago. You've been unconscious ever since."Boyfriend. Adrian. Oh my God, my mum. I grabbed the nurse's wrist. "My mum. Where is she? Is she okay?" I was panicking now. No, she couldn't die. I can't lose her. Not with everything I've been through.The nurse's perfect look of professionalism cracked a little. It was enough for me to see the pity underneath her eyes."I think you should wait for the doctor.""Tell me now." She opened her mouth to talk, then closed it."I'll get the doctor, and inform

Chapter 40Eva's POVA peck on my cheek woke me up. Adrian stared at me from above. A blush appeared on my face.I looked away, averting his gaze."You look more pretty when you're shy." I stifled a laugh."Good morning, angel." I sat up slowly. He smiled brightly. He hadn't suspected a thing. He didn't have an idea of what happened last night. He didn't have an idea, that I had slipped off last night to pick up a threat letter.I shook the thought off my mind and went with the flow."Satan, not today," I muttered under my breath. He smiled at me now, a very warm smile that made me giggle."What did you say?" I shook my head."Nothing you need to know." The sun shone bright above the horizon. I didn't have a good sleep last night. It was filled with thinking about the next thing to do, the next moment. I was given a choice to choose between killing Adrian or leaving him, before my mum could be saved, and truth be told. If I didn't leave Adrian, he would be killed, the false video of m
