Chapter 63

CIARA'S POV

I waited for Adrian to be done with his eating. So far, nobody knew about Liam and it was tantalizing news. It was exactly what I wanted.

Standing, I entered the sitting room where he was seated. He had finally broken his resolve. He was eating because it was clear that for the meantime, no one was coming to his rescue. Noone, not his mother or even the police.

I smiled at him, giving him a cheerful smile. He stared at me with hatred in his eyes instead, and I could tell that he missed his mother. He missed his home. But there was going to be none of that for him, nothing of that nature at all.

There was no home till Tristian Ravenford was mine, there was no home till Adrian had his revenge, till he was accepted back into the company his family had ties to.

By the time Adrian came to the sitting room, Liam was done eating. Grabbing my phone, I decided to steal him for a minute.

“Well, guess what?”

“What?”

He replied, his eyes glinting with something that wasn't happiness
