All Chapters of I Let His Daddy Ruin Me: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Adrian arrived at the office earlier than everyone else, hoping work would silence the thoughts that had followed him since dawn. It didn't. He stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, staring at the city waking beneath him. Cars crawled through the streets, office lights blinked on one after another, and people hurried along the sidewalks, each carrying on with ordinary lives. He envied them. His own life no longer felt ordinary. Every decision he had made over the past few days seemed to be closing around him like a trap. He had spent years protecting his reputation, convincing everyone, including himself, that he was a man who always made the right choice. Now, all it had taken was one woman to tear that image apart. He dropped into his chair and opened the day's schedule, but the words blurred together. His mind refused to cooperate. Instead, it replayed every conversation with Laura. He reached for his coffee when his phone vibrated. The sound echoed through the quiet offic

Elena had come home earlier than planned, hoping to speak with Adrian after missing him again that day. His messages had been short, distracted, and increasingly delayed, each one leaving her with more questions than answers. She told herself she was being paranoid, that wedding pressure made people act differently. But the moment she stepped inside, that excuse stopped working. Staff moved through the halls faster than usual. Two assistants passed her near the main corridor carrying folders that looked too heavy to contain only paperwork. They didn't greet her or slow down. That alone told her something was wrong. "Elena," one of the housekeepers said gently as she took her coat, "Mr. Roth is in his office." "And Adrian?" The hesitation came again, brief but unmistakable. "He's not here tonight." Elena nodded slowly, though the answer only deepened the unease settling in her chest. Adrian's absence was becoming a pattern she could no longer ignore. She headed toward the west win

The Monday board meeting was supposed to calm the investors. Instead, it left the entire executive committee holding its breath. Adrian stood at the head of the conference table, his presentation glowing across the massive screen behind him. He spoke with the same confidence he always carried into a room, but the numbers refused to support him. Every projection depended on an acquisition that had not yet been approved, and every promise he made seemed to create another uneasy glance around the table. When he finally finished, silence settled over the room.It wasn't the respectful silence that followed a convincing proposal. It was the uncomfortable kind, where everyone was waiting for someone else to speak first. A director cleared his throat. "You're asking us to approve an expansion that exceeds the risk threshold by nearly thirty percent." "It won't stay at thirty," Adrian replied. "Once the merger is complete, the return will cover the exposure." "If the merger succeeds

Elena barely remembered the drive across the city. The folder containing copies of the orphanage records rested on the passenger seat, but she didn't need to look at it anymore. Every date, every handwritten note, every inconsistency had etched itself into her memory. The surname Navarro appeared too many times to be dismissed as coincidence, and the anonymous donations stretching back decades raised more questions than answers. There was only one person left who might know the truth. Celeste Navarro herself. By the time She pulled her car into the long driveway leading to Celeste Navarro's estate, she had already rehearsed a dozen different conversations in her head. In some, Celeste denied everything. In others, she admitted the truth with tears and regret. Elena wasn't sure which outcome frightened her more. The estate itself was impossably elegant, hidden behind tall stone walls and wrought-iron gates. Manicured gardens stretched across the property, their perfect symmetr

Elena couldn't sleep at night. The bedroom was too quiet, the bed was too large, and Adrian's side was cold and empty. He hadn't spent three nights with her. She tried to understand. The company was already in shambles because of his unusual mistakes, and he was doing everything to fix it, but something kept nagging at her thoughts. Adrian wasn't behaving like the Adrian she knew—the man she fell in love with three years ago, the one who proposed to her, and she said yes without hesitation. He had been avoiding everyone, staying away from home. She couldn't wrap her head around the latest discovery about her parents. She couldn't believe Roth had fucked the woman she now realized was her adopted mother. She couldn't bring herself to tell Roth yet. Then there was the part she had been trying to avoid for so long, and it was driving her crazy. Her vibrators weren't doing the job. She needed something hard, something filthy. She needed fire, and Roth was the only man who could give
