Chapter 55 Each Step, A Memory
Последнее обновление:
2025-04-07 00:30:00Adrian was still in his office when the last light of dusk spilled across the skyline, painting his floor-to-ceiling windows in soft amber. Papers were neatly stacked on the desk, one hand absently flipping through a contract—but his focus had long since dulled.
His phone buzzed. It was a message from Emily. Emily: When you’re done with work, come find me. He sat up a little straighter. A moment later, another message popped up. Emily: When you step out of your company’s front doors…there’ll be a pumpkin carriage waiting to pick up the prince. Adrian froze. A slow beat of silence filled the room. Pumpkin…carriage? Something stirred in his chest. A wild, ridiculous, impossible suspicion. He didn’t even wait to respond. In one smooth motion, he stood, grabbed his coat, and pressed the elevator button for his private descent.

Adrian kept climbing. The soft lighting glowed gently along the steps,each one lined with a hand-painted card fluttering slightly in the breeze.He paused with each,picking them up one by one,as if retracing a story only he had lived in silence. Then came a gap. Several steps held nothing. A quiet space between their past and the now. But just as he reached the next landing,the cards began again. Card5: We got married. No drawing.Just the words.Simple,and yet it struck something deep. Card6: You were always good to me.You taught me so much. A sketch of him explaining something,her watching with a faint smile. Card7: You got drunk.I took you home. The drawing was light-hearted—him slouched over,tie loose. Card8: The yacht trip.I didn’t know you had a sailing license.That was…impressive. A Yacht,the waves gentle,and a stick figure version of him at the helm. Card9: The reporters swarmed.You kept me hidden. Drawn from the back:him shielding her,hi

She let out a shaky breath as he opened the box and slid the ring onto his finger.Then he took her hand and carefully slipped the matching band onto hers. For a second,neither of them moved. And then—he leaned forward and kissed her hand,right over the metal she had forged for him. That was when the first firework bloomed in the sky behind them—soft gold against deep navy.Then another.And another. She blinked,startled,before remembering—she had planned this.She had booked a private team,set up the timing,even arranged for everything to be filmed quietly from a distance. But none of it felt staged now. Not when he was looking at her like that. Not when she could feel her heartbeat matching his. Adrian didn’t look away. He wasn’t thinking about the lights or the camera crew or the carefully orchestrated night. He was thinking about her. And if there was ever a moment in his life when he felt like he was exactly where he was supposed to be—it was now The ride home

Every movement was measured—careful,devastating in its intent.His lips trailed lower,mapping the tender skin of her thighs like he was memorizing her pulse,her reactions,her undoing.Every soft graze of his mouth,every slow bite of his teeth felt like a brand,marking her in ways that left her breathless. When his tongue finally found her core,It was precise—like he’d thought about this,dreamed of it,and now that he had her,he wasn’t going to waste a second. She arched off the bed,fingers twisting in the sheets as he worked her with ruthless patience.The flat of his tongue dragged over her in slow,torturous strokes before circling the spot that made her legs tremble. He simply learned her as he went. And just when she was about to fall—he stopped. he pulled back—only to replace his mouth with two fingers,crooking them inside her while his thumb took up the rhythm. The shock of it made her cry out

The next morning, Emily stirred slowly under the soft sheets, her body aching in places she hadn’t expected. A deep, satisfied kind of soreness, the kind that reminded her just how thoroughly last night had unraveled her. She barely had time to shift before a warm hand found the curve of her lower back. Adrian’s voice was low, still laced with sleep.“Sore?” She let out a muffled sound, burying her face against his shoulder.“Like I ran a marathon I didn’t train for.” He chuckled, the sound sending a vibration through her ribs as he pulled her gently onto her stomach.“Stay still.” His fingers were warm and strong, pressing into her shoulders, her spine—slow, practiced strokes that somehow made the ache bloom and ease all at once. She melted beneath his touch, every knot of tension unwinding with every sweep of his hand. “You’re unfairly good at this,”she murmured. They stayed like that for a while—quiet, close, the air between them tender in a way that needed no words.

That afternoon, Emily was curled up on the couch, idly scrolling through her phone when a notification popped up—a new follower on her design page.The username was unfamiliar-hermobius. The profile had no bio. Just one post.Curious, she clicked.It was a close-up photo of two hands—hers and Adrian’s—from the night they exchanged rings. The lighting was soft, the rings catching the faint shimmer of fireworks in the background. Whoever had taken the shot had captured the moment perfectly.Emily’s heart skipped.She took a screenshot and sent it to Adrian.Emily: You made a social media account?A moment later, his reply came through.Adrian: Mm. Felt like I should post something that matters.Then another message followed—a selfie. His hand raised, showcasing the wedding band on his finger.Adrian: A symbol that belongs to you.Emily stared at the photo, then noticed something. The background wasn’t his office.Emily: Wait… you're not at work?Adrian: Nope. I’m doing a person

If she really came on the20th… Then that message,sent on the18th… It wasn’t from her. Adrian’s eyes darkened as he stared at the words again,something cold pressing behind his ribs. Back then,he had believed it.Every word. After that message five years ago—May18th—he hadn’t come back.Not really. He'd finished the business trip,extended it twice,then shifted to another project overseas.There had always been a reason.A client to meet.A team to oversee.A contract to renegotiate. But deep down…he knew. He’d stayed away because he thought she had chosen someone else. And if that was true—if she was happy—he hadn’t wanted to interfere.Not even with a reply. He hadn’t questioned it. He’d just…disappeared. Five years.No contact.No messages.No attempts to cross back into her world.

With that, he helped her toward the hospital entrance, following the path Emily had taken. They kept their distance—but Mike’s eyes never left her. By the time Emily reached the third floor and paused outside Miss Hart’s room, Mike and Vivian were just rounding the corner behind her. He didn’t call out again. By the time Mike and Vivian finally made it to the hospital floor, Emily was already inside Miss Evelyn Hart’s room, chatting softly with the older woman. Vivian, still limping slightly, had slowed them down with every step, and now they stood just outside the door, unseen, listening. Inside, Miss Hart smiled warmly.“So tell me, Emily, how have you been, dear? Have you settled down? Found someone?” Emily’s voice was light.“Actually…I’m married now. I’ll bring him next time so you can meet him.” Mike’s jaw clenched. Before he could stop himself, he pushed the door open and stepped inside. “You’re lying,”he snapped. The sudden voice startled Miss Hart. She loo

Mike couldn’t let it go. The moment Emily walked away from him—cool, final, untouchable—something snapped. He needed to know. Needed answers. “Emily, wait—please!”Mike chased after her, breath ragged, voice cracking as he called her name in the parking lot. “I only kept seeing Vivian to make you jealous! I just wanted you to love me like you used to—like when we were kids and you’d get mad every time someone else looked at me. I needed that. I needed to feel that again.” Emily didn’t even glance back. Her steps were quick, sharp, purposeful. “I’ll fix this!”he shouted.“Let’s get a new ring—right now. We can go submit the marriage application. I’m serious, Emily! I’ll do it today!” The car door slammed shut. And then she was gone. Mike stood frozen, watching her unfamiliar car disappear down the ramp. It wasn’t the car he remembered. Nothing about her was the same anymore. He stumbled back, pressing his shoulder against the cold concrete wall, then slid down until

He reached the bed and lowered her carefully onto the mattress, his hands lingering a moment longer than necessary, as if reluctant to let her go. Emily looked up at him, her hair fanning out across the pillows, cheeks flushed, eyes wide and soft. Adrian stayed there for a beat, hovering above her, his gaze tracing every inch of her face like he was trying to memorize her all over again. Then, without a word, he leaned down and kissed her. Slowly. Deeply. The kind of kiss that didn’t rush, didn’t ask for anything—only gave. His mouth moved against hers with a tenderness that made her heart ache, like he was pouring everything he couldn’t say into that single touch. Adrian shifted, bracing one arm beside her head, the other sliding along her waist with a patience that made her tremble. His fingers brushed the hem of her pajama top, tracing small, reverent circles against her skin, as if asking permission without ever needing to speak. When Emily gasped softly against hi

Emily caught a glimpse of Adrian holding his phone up, filming something. She tilted her head curiously. “What are you doing?” He didn’t look away from the screen as he answered, voice low and steady. “Recording you,”he said.“So next time you’re scared, you can look back and remember this feeling—this moment when you chose courage. Then, little by little, we’ll stack up so many good memories that the fear won’t stand a chance.” Emily blinked, then smiled—a small, genuine smile that reached her eyes. He was right. Facing things, handling them one step at a time, was how real confidence was built. Not overnight. But piece by piece. Her heart felt lighter. When they finally headed back down the winding mountain roads, Emily kept her hands steady on the wheel, a quiet kind of pride blooming in her chest. They decided to stop for lunch on Lexford Boulevard again. Emily pulled into a spot near the restaurant. As she climbed out, a loose piece of gravel shifted under he

The next morning, Emily was about to grab her purse and head out—the interior designer from E International had texted, asking her to come by and check out the preliminary renovation plans for her personal design studio. She picked up her car keys from the counter—but her fingers hesitated. A small tremble ran through them. Just as she was about to tell the driver she might need him to take her instead, the distant growl of an engine caught her ear. Emily turned—and froze. A bright yellow SUV pulled into the driveway. The window rolled down. Adrian. He smiled lazily at her from behind the wheel.“Come see your new ride. Tell me if you like it.” Emily stared for a second, stunned. The SUV was wild and beautiful—bold yellow with clean, muscular lines that somehow managed to look both untamed and sophisticated. Even the rims were touched with a subtle, eye-catching gleam of color. Before she could find words, Adrian cut the engine, got out, and walked over. He pr

Adrian’s expression softened. He reached out, pulled her gently into his arms. She didn’t speak, not right away. Just breathed. Just trembled. He pressed a kiss to her hair. Then, quietly— “Sometimes the body remembers what the mind forgets. Especially when it’s something you weren’t ready to carry.” His thumb brushed along the back of her hand, grounding her. “Sometimes the mind tucks things away until it’s ready,”Adrian said softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.“Especially when you’re that young. Four years old…most people don’t remember much.” “But something in you held onto it,”he added, his voice quiet but certain.“And whatever it was—whoever they were—you weren’t alone then.” He leaned closer, pressing a steady kiss to her temple. “And you’re not alone now,”he whispered.“Whatever you remember, whenever it comes back—I’ll be here. You don’t have to carry it

Emily blinked, then laughed softly.“I was going to wait until everything was ready to reach out. But yes, I am. And if any of you want in, I’d love to have you.” Word spread like a spark on dry kindling. Members from A group, B group—familiar faces with eager eyes—turned toward her, nodding, asking if it was true. Emily nodded.“It’s not fancy yet. We’re still laying the foundation. But if you’re willing to take a leap with me…” “You don’t even have to ask,”Lily said.“We’re in.” Emily smiled. It didn’t matter what she had left behind anymore. Because what she was building—was hers. - After wrapping things up at A Design, Emily headed out and got into her car. Emily had only been driving for about five minutes when it happened. A screech of tires. The sudden slam of metal against metal. A car veered sharply into hers, clipping the side mirror and jolting her vehicle with a force that sent her heart lurching into her throat. She froze. The world spun for a sec

Adrian didn’t speak right away. But when he did,his voice was colder than steel. “I see.” Someone near the table let out a shaky breath.Another man looked like he was considering crawling under the table. He had expected this. The moment someone—somewhere—would try to drag Emily’s name through the mud. Adrian voice still quiet—but with a sharpness that sliced through the air like a scalpel.“Let me make this clear.” Lila stayed silent.The others barely breathed. “It was me who pursued Emily.Me who asked her to marry me.She said yes.” A pause. “If anyone in that room still has questions about my wife,”Adrian continued,each word deliberate,“they’re welcome to bring them to my office at E International.Tomorrow.In person.” There was a click. Call ended. Lila set the phone down on the table—slow,deliberate.Like she was laying down a weapon. The room was dead silent. No one moved.No one spoke. Someone—somewhere—exhaled the breath they hadn’t realized they w

More murmurs. Another woman nearby raised a brow.“Yeah, sounds like she knew exactly what she wanted.” Just then— The door slammed open. Conversation halted mid-sentence. Glasses stilled. Heads turned. Lila stood in the doorway, framed by the dim glow of the hallway behind her. She was all sharp lines and darker edges—long black leather dress hugging her frame, stilettos clicking like a warning shot against the polished wood floor. And her face— That unmistakable bone structure, those piercing eyes, the cool poise in her expression. There was no mistaking it. Adrian Blackwood’s sister. Her gaze swept the room, cutting through the murmurs and glances like a scalpel. It didn’t search. It landed—straight on Vivian. Lila arched a brow, the corners of her mouth lifting in something that wasn’t quite a smile. “Sorry to interrupt,”she said, voice smooth as silk but cold as steel.“But it sounded like someone was name-dropping my family.” The room went still. Chairs

“I saw them today and thought of you,”she said.“They just dropped this morning. Limited edition.” Adrian pulled one out, inspecting it.“You really have a thing for giving me these.” She shrugged, lips tugging into a soft smile.“You look good in them.” He set the box down and pulled her closer by the waist.“Then I guess you’re officially responsible for putting them on me from now on.” Her smile widened. “Deal.” Emily laughed softly.“Then let me practice. I’ve never actually put cufflinks on anyone before.” Adrian arched a brow, amused.“What an honor,”he murmured, and casually popped open the ones he was wearing.“Go on. Use these.” She took the new set from the box, fingers careful as she slid them through the cuffs. Her brows furrowed slightly in concentration—Adrian didn’t take his eyes off her. Then his phone buzzed. he answered with one hand. “Hey,”he said, voice warm but casual. The voice on the other end was easy, familiar—his longtime friend, Nate. “M

Emily let out a soft hum, eyes still closed.“I should be asking you that. Your office might need hazard pay.” Adrian chuckled quietly, the sound low and warm in his chest.“I’ll take the damage. Worth it.” They stayed like that for another long minute. No rush. No obligations. Just a quiet moment suspended in their own world. Then finally, Emily shifted slightly, resting her chin on his shoulder and glancing down at the floor where a few papers had fallen. “You think your team heard anything?” Adrian smirked.“Not unless they’ve got microphones in the carpet.” She rolled her eyes, swatting his chest lightly before going still again. Her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen—Lila(Video Call)—then looked at Adrian. He gave a slight nod, lips curving. She answered. “Lila!”Emily smiled, tilting the camera so her friend could see her clearly. “I’m back!”she beamed.“Finally. My professor dragged me across five countries, three labs, and one very haunted guest hou
