CEO's Delicate Wife Chapter 39
The atmosphere in the safehouse was tense. Julian paced the length of the room, his expression unreadable, while Erica stood by the window, her arms crossed over her chest. The dim light outside barely penetrated the heavy curtains, but the shadows seemed to creep into the room, adding to the weight of the moment.“Ophelia’s reach is farther than we thought,” Julian muttered, his voice low but sharp with frustration. “And now, whoever else is gunning for you, they aren’t just sending warnings. This is about ending things.”Erica didn’t respond immediately. She had heard the words, but her mind was elsewhere—circling around the chaos of the past few days. The attack in the forest, the gunfight, the message they had intercepted—it all pointed to something bigger than they had anticipated. The documents, her father’s legacy, the list of names. All of it was a part of a larger web, and she was caught right in the center of it.Julian stopped pacing and turned to face her, his eyes dark wi

The tension in the air was palpable as Erica’s gaze locked with Ophelia’s. For a split second, the world seemed to freeze around them. The estate’s dim lights cast long shadows across the room, stretching the distance between them like a yawning chasm. But this wasn’t a standoff that could be won by waiting. This was the moment everything had been building toward.Ophelia stood poised, elegant even in her cold menace, her dark eyes never leaving Erica’s. Her red lips curled into a smirk, and she tilted her head as though amused by the situation. The two men behind her, heavily armed, looked ready to pounce, their fingers hovering near their triggers.“I knew it would come down to this,” Ophelia said, her voice smooth, carrying over the silence like silk over steel. “But I didn’t think you had the nerve to actually confront me face-to-face. I’m impressed, Erica.”Julian, standing beside Erica with his gun drawn, took a step forward, his jaw clenched, eyes narrowed. “This ends tonight,

The night felt heavier than usual as Julian and Erica drove back to the safehouse. The weight of everything they had gone through—Ophelia’s men, the close calls—hung in the air between them like a thick fog. Julian kept his eyes on the road, but his hand remained intertwined with Erica’s, a silent promise of support.The tension from the gunfight still buzzed in Erica’s veins, but there was something else beneath it, something that had been building between them for longer than she wanted to admit. Glancing at Julian, she saw the hard lines of his jaw relax slightly as they left the danger behind. His focus, always sharp and calculating, softened when his gaze flicked over to her.They had been through too much together. In the face of every threat, every secret that had come to light, Julian had stood by her side. And though she hadn’t always trusted him fully, she couldn’t deny the pull she felt now—the connection between them that had grown stronger with every close call, every ris

The morning light crept into the room, casting a soft glow over the bed where Erica lay. Julian was beside her, his arm draped over her waist, his breathing steady and peaceful. The quiet comfort of the moment wrapped around her, and for the first time in what felt like forever, Erica felt safe.But the reality of their situation returned with the first ring of Julian’s phone.He stirred beside her, his brows furrowing as he reached for the device on the nightstand. Erica propped herself up on her elbow, watching as he read the message, his face hardening almost instantly.“What is it?” she asked, already knowing the answer wouldn’t be good.Julian sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. “Donovan. He found something—about your father’s old contacts. One of them is moving against us.”Erica sat up fully, her mind already shifting back into focus. “Which one?”“Marcus Tolland. One of your father’s more discreet allies, but it seems like he’s made his move. We need to deal with him before

The night air wrapped around Erica like a cool embrace, sharp and refreshing against her skin. She stood on the balcony, her arms wrapped around herself, looking out over the city that never slept. The skyline was a twinkling sea of lights, but it felt distant, as though it existed in another world—one where life was simpler, and her days weren't haunted by the weight of her past and her father’s legacy.Her mind swirled with thoughts of everything that had transpired over the past few weeks: the list of enemies, the documents her mother had left behind, the twisted games Ophelia played. And Julian—Julian, whose presence had come to mean so much to her, and yet whose secrets were still a chasm between them. The tension in her chest was suffocating.She pressed her fingers against the railing, grounding herself as her thoughts churned. There were times she wasn’t sure where her father's legacy ended, and her own life began. A storm was brewing, and she was right at its center.The soft

The first rays of dawn peeked through the curtains, casting a soft golden glow on the bedroom walls. Erica lay in Julian’s arms, her head resting on his chest, listening to the rhythmic beat of his heart. It was a quiet, almost surreal moment in contrast to the chaos that surrounded their lives. She hadn’t expected things to unfold this way—not between them, not this quickly—but after everything, there was a strange sense of peace in the vulnerability they had just shared.But peace, she knew, was fleeting.Julian stirred beneath her, his hand gently brushing the hair away from her face. "You awake?" His voice was a low murmur, heavy with sleep but laced with that ever-present edge of awareness."Yeah," Erica replied softly, her fingers tracing the faint scars on his arm. Each one told a story, though Julian rarely spoke of them. She had always wondered about the life he’d lived before all this—before her, before their entanglement in her family’s dark legacy. Now, more than ever, she

The air was thick with tension, the crack of gunfire splitting the silence in sharp intervals. Erica's heart hammered in her chest as she and Julian moved swiftly through the narrow corridors of the safe house. Each step felt like a race against time, a desperate scramble to reach safety before Ophelia's people closed in completely.Julian glanced at her, his eyes narrowed, jaw set in hard determination. "Keep low," he muttered, barely above a whisper, as another bullet ricocheted off the wall behind them. Erica ducked instinctively, her breath catching in her throat.They reached the end of the hallway, Julian leading the way toward the rear of the house where the exit should be. But as he pushed open the door leading to the back, they were greeted by the sight of two men, armed and ready, blocking their path."Damn it," Julian hissed under his breath, shoving Erica behind him as he raised his gun. He fired off two shots in quick succession, taking out the first man before he even ha
CEO's Delicate Wife Chapter 46
The safe house Julian had spoken of wasn’t far, tucked away in the quieter part of the city, hidden in plain sight. It was an unassuming apartment, the kind that wouldn’t catch anyone’s attention, with faded brick walls and an old iron door that looked like it hadn’t been used in years.As Erica parked the car in a discreet spot a few blocks away, the hum of the engine fading into the background, she stole a glance at Julian. His face was pale, and though he hadn’t made a sound of complaint during the drive, she could tell the pain was catching up to him. His jaw was clenched tight, the kind of expression someone wore when they were trying to focus on anything but the wound slowly sapping their strength.“You’re not fooling anyone,” she said, her voice soft but firm. She stepped out of the car, moving around to help him. "You can stop pretending you're invincible."Julian managed a weak smile as she looped her arm around his, steadying him as they made their way toward the building. “
