Adrian Pucey

HE IS THE BOY THAT WAS BORN AS A GIRL AND HAD TO PROVE TO HIMSELF, EVERY DAY THAT HE IS MAN ENOUGH FOR THE WORLD. ~~~~~~~ Adrian's life hasn't been one he is proud of since he lost his home the day he came out to his family. He thought they loved him as they always said but it turned out it was all a big fat lie. Going through life and trying to make the most of it, he met a man who would turn his whole world around. Just when he thought he was finally going to be happy, fate showed up with another plan, one that would leave Adrian wondering whether living was actually worth it. ~~~^~~~ "Elijah, you can't be serious!" "I am." "Why?" "Because he's a man and he is mine!"

"Let them believe you are dead, Elaine. For under my protection, you shall be reborn as a nightmare they will never forget." Elaine Vance was meant to be the most radiant bride in London. Instead, her fiancé, Adrian Blackwood, cast her into the freezing depths of Black Forest, discarding her for another woman and her inheritance. Elaine was left for dead in utter disgrace, her spirit shattered and fueled only by a searing thirst for revenge. But death did not want her. Instead, Elaine was found by the one man Adrian feared most—the man who held absolute power over the entire Blackwood dynasty. The man Elaine was supposed to call 'Father-in-law' was now the one she had to serve, time and again, in the heat of their shared bed. "From this moment on, you belong to me, Elaine." — Alistair Blackwood.

When Elowen learned that she had been switched at birth, that her life as a princess was nothing more than a mistake, she quietly accepted her fate. She accepted being treated as an error. Accepted being hurt so deeply that even crying had to be done in secret. She believed she would fade away like this — silently, unnoticed, forgotten. Until one day — when despair pushed her to the edge — she felt a faint chill, as if someone were standing behind her, protecting her without a word. From that moment on, Elowen knew she was no longer alone. — Adrian survived a horrific car accident. His body lay motionless in a hospital bed, while his soul became bound to a wounded girl he had never known. He couldn’t hold her. Couldn’t shield her from harm. Yet when she was starved, warm food appeared in her drawer. When she was bullied, her tormentors met with inexplicable accidents. When she curled up crying in the dead of night, an invisible hand gently rested on her forehead—so tender it hurt. Adrian was there. Quieter than any living person. He witnessed every wound, remembered every tear, every trembling breath she tried to suppress. Affection grew in silence—slowly, carefully—as if one careless step closer would cause the girl to shatter. One was alive, yet denied a life. One was dead, yet still learning how to protect someone. Some forms of protection need no light. Some kinds of love cannot be touched. — Then one day, Elowen spoke seriously to her “Ms. Ghost”: Elowen: “Ms. Ghost, if you’re lonely…” “Maybe you could bond with a male ghost.” “I’d give you my blessing.” Adrian: … Then the “Ms. Ghost” coldly placed a hand on her forehead. Adrian: “Call me Mr. Ghost.”

No meu aniversário, meu marido, Adrian Grant, apareceu de repente com minha irmã adotiva mais nova, Bella Reed, e a filha dela, Tia Reed. Quando chegou a hora de sair, ele bem naturalmente acomodou Bella no banco do passageiro da frente. Depois se virou para mim e disse calmamente: — A Tia enjoa fácil no carro. O banco de trás está cheio de coisas. Já que você não enjoa, vá de ônibus. Nossos amigos imediatamente começaram a concordar, um após o outro: — Você é a irmã mais velha. Cuidar da sua sobrinha é o mínimo. Quatro carros estavam saindo, mas não sobrou um único assento para mim, a suposta protagonista do dia. Sentei no ônibus, engolindo minha mágoa, e vi Adrian e Bella interagindo de forma ambígua no grupo de mensagens. Eles até falavam sobre assuntos dos quais eu não sabia absolutamente nada. Quando abri o vídeo que tinham acabado de enviar, não restava nada na mesa preparada para mim além de sobras. Adrian ainda pegou o bolo de aniversário que eu havia preparado com tanto cuidado e tratou como se fosse apenas uma sobremesa qualquer, dando colheradas na boca de Bella e da filha dela. Alguém finalmente não aguentou e perguntou se aquilo era apropriado. Adrian, que limpava cuidadosamente a boca de Bella, sequer levantou os olhos. — Somos todos família. A Julia não vai ficar brava. Naquele momento, meu casamento de sete anos tinha chegado ao seu fim.

The day before our wedding, my fiancé invites our family onto a cruise ship. He says he wants to test the authenticity of my feelings for him. He shoves my mother off the ship when the waves are at their choppiest. Then, he jumps into the water, too. I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I panic, not knowing what to do. My mother had already choked on a lot of water, but she pushed me away weakly. She cried, "Save Adrian first! He can't swim!" However, after I drag Adrian Lawson onto land and go back for my mother, I find that she's already stopped breathing. Adrian watches me cry, his expression frosty. "Drop the act. Your mother was a swimmer when she was younger—how can she be dead? I can't believe you didn't save me first. "Vi is right—you don't love me enough. Our wedding is postponed. It'll happen only after you've reflected on your mistakes and I've received an apology from you and your mother." After that, he leaves while holding Vivian Sinclair's hand. He doesn't know that my mother can no longer swim after a major illness a few years back. He's shoved her to her death.
