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. “

The sun barely peeked through the drawn curtains when Erica awoke. She had tossed and turned most of the night, haunted by her own racing thoughts. She glanced toward the couch where Julian was still asleep, his arm draped lazily over the edge, the faint rise and fall of his chest indicating the slow rhythm of deep sleep.The tension from the previous night was still thick in the air. She could feel it in the pit of her stomach, the weight of unsaid words and things left unresolved. Erica pulled herself up from the bed, careful not to make too much noise. She needed a moment to clear her head, to refocus on why they were here. She couldn’t afford to be distracted, especially not now when everything was about to come to a head.Her father’s list, the documents that had been left behind—they were more than just a key to unlocking the truth about Ophelia’s schemes. They were a direct connection to everything her father had tried to shield her from. And now, they were becoming a weapon sh

The kiss lingered in Erica's mind long after they parted. Her fingers still tingled from where they had gripped Julian’s shirt, and her lips felt swollen from the way they had pressed against his. But reality came crashing back when she remembered their mission. The sweetness of the moment faded as the gravity of their situation sank in once more.Julian stood near the window, his back to her, his shoulders tense with the weight of what lay ahead. He was already in that mindset, preparing for the next phase. Erica forced herself to refocus, to push aside the feelings stirring inside her."We need to move soon," Julian said, breaking the silence. His voice was calm, but there was an underlying urgency that made her stomach twist. "Ophelia’s been making moves. My sources say she’s sent people to track us down."Erica frowned, crossing her arms as she considered their options. “Do you think she knows about the list?”Julian turned to face her, his jaw tight. "I’m not sure. But she’s too

The air in the room was thick with tension as Braxton’s smirk taunted Erica from across the dimly lit space. He stood up slowly, his tall frame casting a shadow on the wall, his eyes cold and calculating. His fingers tapped on the edge of the table, a deliberate move that signaled he wasn’t fazed by Julian’s gun or the intrusion."So, you’ve finally decided to confront me," Braxton drawled, his tone mocking. "Tell me, Erica. What exactly do you think you’re going to accomplish here?"Julian’s gun was trained on him, but it was clear from the way Braxton stood that he wasn’t easily intimidated. Erica’s instincts told her this wouldn’t end with a simple conversation. She had learned to read these situations long ago, her father’s mercenaries drilling it into her: when a fight was inevitable, be ready before your opponent even realizes it’s begun."We don’t have time for games," Julian said, his voice sharp. "Tell us what you know about Ophelia’s plans and the connection to Erica’s fathe

The cool night air felt like a sudden release from the tension inside the room. Erica’s heart was still pounding from the confrontation with Braxton, the rush of adrenaline not quite fading as she and Julian stepped out of the warehouse. Her breath was steady, but her mind raced with the implications of what they had just learned. The vault her father had left behind—it was the key to everything. And now, they were closer than ever.Julian walked beside her, his gaze steady and unreadable. He had seen her fight before, but tonight had been different. The way she had taken control of the situation, disarming Braxton and demanding answers, had surprised even him. He had always known she was strong, but seeing her in action, the precision of her movements, the unflinching determination in her eyes—it was a reminder that she wasn’t someone who needed protection. She was his equal, if not more.As they reached the car, Julian paused, turning to face her. The street was quiet, a stark contr

The rain came down in sheets, hammering against the rooftop of the abandoned industrial complex where Erica and Julian had arrived. The plan was simple—meet one of her father’s old contacts, someone who could provide vital information about the vault. But with the storm raging outside and the constant threat of Ophelia’s agents closing in, there was nothing simple about the situation.Erica tugged the hood of her jacket tighter, the fabric clinging to her skin from the moisture in the air. Julian stood beside her, scanning the dark, empty surroundings with a level of wariness that had become second nature. The rain didn't seem to faze him; he was focused, calm. But his eyes darted from shadow to shadow, watching for any signs of trouble.The storm matched Erica’s mood—unsettled, unpredictable. There was an edge of frustration bubbling up inside her. The closer they got to the vault, the more obstacles seemed to stand in their way. And while the answers she sought were just out of reac

The rain had barely let up by the time they reached Julian’s safe house on the outskirts of the city. Erica could feel the exhaustion deep in her bones as they stepped inside. Her ribs ached, and every breath was a reminder of the beating she had taken during the fight. Still, her mind was too wired to rest. They had won a crucial battle, but they were far from safe.Julian shut the door behind them, his movements as smooth and controlled as always, despite the toll the night had taken. His eyes flicked toward her as she slipped off her wet jacket, revealing the bloodied shirt underneath. He frowned, stepping closer."You're hurt.""I’ll be fine," Erica muttered, brushing off his concern as she headed toward the kitchen. She opened one of the cabinets and pulled out a first aid kit. “It’s not the worst I’ve been through.”Julian followed her, not saying anything but watching her carefully. His presence was steady, comforting in a way she wasn’t used to. It was odd, this sense of relia

Erica awoke the next morning to the muted light of dawn filtering through the windows. Julian was already up, standing near the large floor-to-ceiling window, staring out at the sprawling city below. The tension in his shoulders was unmistakable, even from across the room. The weight of their next move hung in the air like a storm waiting to break.Sitting up on the couch, Erica stretched, wincing slightly as her bruises from the previous fight reminded her of their presence. She had been through worse, but the aches were a constant reminder of just how high the stakes had become.“You’re up early,” she said, her voice still thick with sleep as she swung her legs off the couch and padded across the room toward him.Julian didn’t turn immediately, but when he did, his expression was set, his eyes darker than usual. “Couldn’t sleep,” he muttered, his jaw tightening. “I keep thinking about what’s next. About how far Ophelia is willing to go.”Erica understood. She hadn’t been able to full
