Chapter 32 Alpha Adrian’s POV It took everything in me not to think about that kiss. How could she even think I would like someone like her? I loved my women strong, and the only thing she evoked in me was the intense urge to protect her. Collins was yapping about something that I paid no heed to, and when he finally tapped me, I realized we were already in front of the meeting venue. “What has your head wrapped up in such a tight bunch? I’ve been talking about my pet hamster and all you’ve done is stare out the window. I suspect it has something to do with the girl you have living with you, but oh well,” he said, a visible smirk on his face. I hated that he knew me so well—that he knew what I was thinking about half the time. I did not bother responding, closing the door instead and walking into the restaurant. We were supposed to be having a meeting with a major foreign dealer who wanted to pool all her resources into the automobile market, and even though I tried my

Chapter 34 Tori's POV I should not have been so surprised. A part of me wished I had not looked so surprised when she said it. Maybe I should have milked the situation a little bit—played on her intelligence, made her believe I was in fact the one responsible for what was happening in her company. But I hadn’t. I had looked so surprised that she paused mid-threat, looking at me with surprise too. “Are you not the one who ordered that the whole line of designs should be taken down because it was stolen from you? The news is all over the Internet, and now all my sponsors are pulling out,” she said. I smiled smugly. I had no idea who did this to her, but if I could see them, I would love to give them a big kiss, just to show them how much their little gesture meant to me. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but your misfortune has nothing to do with me. Perhaps you have more enemies than you think, and you are just trying to rub it on me since I’m the only known one. “Like I sa

Chapter 36 Alpha Adrian’s POV The panic I felt when her body hit the tiled floor was insane. I was sure I was not breathing. My gaze was hazy even as I herded Kylian into the car, putting her limp body next to him. I was sure I had broken more than a few rules as I sped through the city, trying to get to the nearest hospital. The shock I felt waiting for the results was even worse. So when the doctor finally approached me, I was already on my feet before he could get closer. “How is she? What is wrong?” I asked quickly, trying to calm my breathing as I looked at his face. “She is fine and the baby is fine, too,” he said. Wait… what? “Baby?” I asked. He nodded. “Yes. The woman you brought in is two months pregnant. She is fine, but I have to warn you about stressing her in the future. She nearly lost the child today, and it’s mostly because of stress and overthinking. I would advise that if she is working, she quits at least until she gives birth, and she should

Chapter 38 Alpha Adrian's POV All eyes were on me now, waiting for my response. Even the shuttering and clicking of the cameras seemed to have gone quiet as everyone waited with bated breath. I swallowed. “Of course I would do that. If it will make the people see how safe they are, then I will do it,” I said. The whole room erupted again in a flurry—shutters clicking and reporters talking. Damian smirked. “I really hope you don’t end up in the hospital because of your ego,” he said. “I hope you have a conscience,” I said, and with that, I turned around to leave. We were not allowed to check the car. I knew if we checked or tried to do any fixings on the car, they would deem it unsafe and the main cause of the man’s death. The seats were filling up quickly as people came out in their multitudes to watch me test-run my own car. I watched them drive the car out, parking it and handing me the keys. Collins looked at me, his eyes holding uncertainty. “You don’

Chapter 40 Tori’s POV He did not allow me to talk. He did not allow me to carry Kylian—not until the doctor told him I was well enough and could finally be discharged. I saw the look of relief cross his eyes as he looked at me. “Never do that again,” he said to me when we were finally back in the car. Kylian was sleeping in the back seat, probably too tired from all the running he had done today alone. “Do what?” I asked him. His eyes left the steering wheel for a split second as he turned to look at me. “Never leave anywhere to come looking for me. Especially when you are sick. I will feel better and die peacefully knowing you are safe instead of seeing you jump taxis just to get to me. Do you understand?” he asked. My heart fluttered, and my head felt light as I nodded at him shyly. Who was this man in front of me now, and where did he get this tongue from? Did he even understand the kind of butterflies he had given me with that statement? We were all tired whe
