Leigh Daniel Avidan Novels & Stories

“I’m not stealing anything. I’m helping him remember what matters. And maybe… maybe I’m giving him a chance to see what he’s been missing all these years. Don’t act like you weren’t trying to win him before this too.” Adrien’s chest tightened. His hands shook slightly, not with fear, but with fury. “This isn’t a game, Daniel. Ryan’s life, his mind his heart are not pieces in some competition you can win. Stop using him to stroke your ego.” Daniel’s eyes flickered, sharp and calculating, but he didn’t look away. “Ego? Adrien come on. You knew I had feelings for him long before the accident. You’ve been with him yes, but I’ve been there too. Watching Waiting Now’s my chance. He’s looking for a

Astrid’s POV I was heading toward the dining hall for breakfast when two large figures stepped into my path, blocking the corridor with casual authority. It was Daniel and Ian. Davian’s Beta and Gamma. “Luna.” Daniel greetin his tone perfectly polite. “Do you have a moment?” It wasn’t really a question and I realise I never had one on one with them all this while. Even while we were in Riftclaw. “Of course.” I kept my voice flag even though my stomach dropped. “What can I do for you?”

Daniel leaned back in his chair. “Predictable,” he said softly. The man sitting across from him asked, “You’re sure it’s him?” Daniel smiled faintly. “I watched that man steal my future in front of hundreds of people.” He closed the laptop. “I would recognize his shadow.” “And the woman?” Daniel poured himself a drink. “Elena?” “Yes.” Daniel looked at the glass for a moment before answering. “She was never the problem.” “Then what is?” Daniel took a slow sip. “Adrian Volkov.”

The moment the suite door unlocked, Ava rushed into the hallway coughing dramatically. “I am officially retiring from mystery solving. Rich people can die without me from now on.” Despite everything, Winona laughed. The sound surprised even her. Maybe because laughing felt strange after seeing a dead body hidden inside a wardrobe. Liam walked beside them quietly while still deep in thought. “Daniel definitely knew something before he died. That note wasn’t random.” “Nothing in this hotel is random,” Adrian said.

“Wait. Daniel… what happened to him? Where did he go?” I turned back, surprised. “You don’t know? He didn’t tell you?” Adrian shook his head, looking genuinely confused. I paused and then sat down again….He was calm now and sat right in front of me without saying anything as though signaling me to talk. I told him everything — Daniel’s sudden departure, the cruel message and how broken Ava was. Adrian listened carefully, his expression shifting from heartbreak to concern.

‎ ‎Then he whispered, ‎ ‎“I was just supposed to watch.” ‎Ava felt a wave of anger rise inside her. ‎ ‎“They’re spying on me now?” ‎ ‎Adrian’s expression turned dangerously calm. ‎ ‎He looked at Daniel. ‎ ‎“Call their chairman.” ‎ ‎Daniel blinked. ‎ ‎“Now?” ‎ ‎“Yes.” ‎ ‎Daniel quickly dialed the number. ‎ ‎After a few rings, someone answered. ‎ ‎Daniel handed the phone to Adrian. ‎ ‎Adrian spoke slowly. ‎ ‎“This is Adrian Cole.”

Many people in high places would rise to defend her—just as Daniel was doing now for Damian. “I can’t believe you really want to be with this jerk,” Daniel muttered after a pause, throwing a cold, disdainful stare at Adrian, as if he wished he could strangle him on the spot. But deep down, Daniel knew that pushing this further would be unwise. Angrily, he turned with his men and stormed out, not even waiting to hear Vivienne’s next words. Clara exhaled in relief. “Thank goodness you came in time, Vivienne,” she said.

Even when you're crazy, you're still so adorable! After watching the press conference, she saw that the Stephenson's and the Adams had left the scene. Thus, Hilda called up Daniel to express her concern as his ex girlfriend. She even put the call on loudspeaker. The moment the call connected, Daniel's ear splitting roar reverberated throughout the entire living room. "Hilda Adams, you b*tch! You damn b*tch! I hope you rot in hell!"

"That's not possible. Daniel had nothing to do with Vivian back then. He barely knew her." "That's what Ryan doesn't know either. He said it could be nothing an old, unrelated investment. But the timing" "The timing is exactly what worries me too." Adrian was already on his feet, moving toward the door. "Where's Daniel right now?" "He left an hour ago. Said he was driving back to his place for the night." Adrian's jaw tightened. "Call him. Tell him I need to see him first thing tomorrow. Don't tell him why." They found Ava in the sitting room exactly where Nova had left her, David sitting quietly nearby, a steadying presence rather than an intrusive one. She looked up when Adrian entered, an
