The city lights stretched endlessly before them, twinkling like a thousand fallen stars. Sophia leaned against Adrian’s chest, her fingers entwined with his, as the wind carried the distant hum of the bustling world beyond their private sanctuary.

"A grand wedding, huh?" she mused, tilting her head to look at him.

Adrian smirked. "Of course. I don’t do anything halfway, Mrs. Blackwood."

She rolled her eyes playfully. "You really are impossible."

"And yet, you love me," he reminded her, his voice a low murmur against her ear.

Sophia sighed dramatically. "Somehow, against all logic, yes."

Adrian chuckled, pressing a kiss to her temple. "Then let’s give them the wedding of the century."

Before Sophia could respond, a knock sounded at the terrace doors.

Clara poked her head in, her expression unusually serious. "Sophia… your father’s here."

Sophia’s breath caught. The world around her momentarily dimmed as those words settled in her mind. Edward Bennett—the man who had once dictated the c

    The cool evening breeze mingled with the soft glow of the city lights as Adrian and Sophia lingered on the terrace. Their laughter from earlier had faded into a gentle quiet, a silence filled with hope and unspoken promises. Still holding each other close, they gazed out over the skyline, where every twinkling light seemed to echo the dreams they now dared to imagine together. For a long moment, neither spoke, letting the serenity wrap around them like a cherished secret. Then Adrian broke the silence, his voice soft but resolute. “You know,” he began, turning to meet her eyes, “I’ve always believed in control—every detail, every move was planned. But with you… everything changed.” Sophia squeezed his hand gently, a smile tugging at her lips. “I’ve never seen you so vulnerable, so real. And it scares me—in the best possible way.” He chuckled, his gaze warm. “I used to think vulnerability was a weakness, something that left you exposed. But now, it’s the only strength I need. I

    A Love Finally at PeaceFor the first time since their marriage began, Sophia and Adrian had found peace.The storm of lies, betrayals, and distrust had finally settled, leaving behind something neither had expected—genuine happiness.Sophia stretched lazily in bed, feeling the warmth of Adrian’s arm draped over her waist. The morning sun peeked through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. She turned to face him, tracing the sharp lines of his jaw, the quiet intensity that never seemed to leave his expression—even in sleep."You’re staring again," Adrian murmured, his lips curving into a smirk without opening his eyes.Sophia smiled. "You’re beautiful when you’re not scowling."His deep chuckle sent a shiver down her spine. "I don’t scowl.""You do. A lot."Adrian pulled her closer, pressing a lingering kiss against her forehead.

But she couldn’t.Adrian’s life was on the line.She could still hear his voice—hoarse, furious, desperate—echoing in her head. SOPHIA!Her grip on the wheel tightened as a sob tore from her throat.

    Adrian Blackwood was not a patient man.He stood in the center of his war room—his penthouse transformed into a command center—eyes locked on the digital map spread across the screen. Red dots flickered across the city, his men tracking every possible lead.Sophia was out there. And she was running out of time."Sir," one of his men, Carter, spoke. "We have a location. South Docks. Simon’s men were spotted moving a black SUV into an abandoned shipyard."Adrian’s jaw clenched. His fingers curled into fists, his body rigid with barely restrained fury.Simon had made a fatal mistake. He had taken the one thing Adrian would never let go of.Adrian turned, his voice cold and lethal."Get the cars ready. We move now."His men nodded, swiftly preparing.

    Darkness.Silence.Then—pain.It came in sharp waves, jolting Adrian Blackwood out of the abyss. His head pounded, the metallic taste of blood coating his tongue. Somewhere nearby, a car horn blared, shrill and unrelenting.Smoke curled in the air. Shattered glass dug into his skin. His chest heaved, lungs straining for air as he tried to move."Sophia," he rasped.His heart clenched as he turned his head, searching—And then he saw her.Sophia was slumped in the passenger seat, her body motionless. Blood streaked her forehead, trickling down her cheek. The airbag had deployed, but she wasn’t waking up.A cold, primal fear gripped Adrian’s soul."Sophia," he tried again, reaching for her. His fingers brushed against her skin—too cold, too still. His pulse roared in his ears.No. No, no, no.He struggled against his seatbelt, the strap digging into his bruised chest. Every inch of his body screamed in agony, but none of it mattered. Nothing mattered except getting to her.With a grunt,

    The silence after Sophia’s warning was deafening.Adrian felt the weight of her words settle like lead in his chest.They’re coming.His grip on her hand tightened as he turned to Simon, his jaw clenched. "Talk. Now."Simon exhaled, rubbing his temple, eyes flickering toward the wreckage before settling on Adrian. "I don’t know how deep this goes yet, but whoever did this? They don’t just want you dead." He glanced at Sophia, his expression unreadable. "They want to take everything from you first."Adrian’s blood ran cold. "Names. Give me a damn name, Simon."Simon hesitated. It was brief—almost imperceptible—but Adrian caught it."That’s what I’m trying to figure out," Simon muttered. "This wasn’t just some hit job, Blackwood. This was a message."Adrian’s body tensed as he stared at Simon. For days, they had been at odds, always standing on opposite sides of a fight. Now, for the first time, there was something different in Simon’s eyes—reluctance, maybe even the smallest flicker of

    Adrian’s pulse thundered in his ears as he clutched Sophia’s limp body against him."No, no, no—stay with me," he rasped, pressing his palm to the wound at her side. Blood seeped through his fingers, warm and unforgiving.Sophia’s lashes fluttered, a faint whimper escaping her lips. Her breathing was shallow—too shallow."Hold on, baby," Adrian whispered. "I need you to hold on."Simon cursed under his breath, stepping into the room, his gun still raised. His gaze locked onto the pool of crimson spreading beneath Sophia."Shit," he muttered. "We need to move. Now."Adrian’s head snapped up, fury burning through the despair clawing at his chest. "Who was that?!" he demanded.Simon didn’t answer immediately. His lips pressed into a grim line as he checked the bodies in the hall. "They were professionals," he said darkly. "Not just hired thugs. Someone sent them knowing exactly what they were doing."Adrian’s jaw clenched. His world was unraveling. His enemies were no longer content with

    Darkness still clung to the edges of the room, the scent of gunpowder lingering in the air like a ghost of the chaos that had unfolded. Sophia’s breath came in shallow gasps, her fingers trembling as she clutched Adrian’s hand.His grip was firm, steady, but his eyes… they held something dangerous. A storm of fury.She swallowed hard, forcing herself to focus. "Adrian… what did you do?"Adrian didn’t answer right away. He brushed his thumb over her knuckles, an unspoken promise in the gesture, but the tension in his shoulders betrayed him.Simon stepped forward, his face grim. "She should rest. We need to get her somewhere safe."Adrian finally exhaled, his voice a low growl. "She’s not staying here."Sophia struggled to sit up, wincing at the sharp pain in her ribs. "Adrian, you can’t keep running from this. You can’t fight every battle alone."His jaw clenched. "This isn’t just about me anymore, Sophia. Mercer sent men to kill you. This war just got personal."A shiver ran down her

    The room was bathed in shadows, broken only by the dim glow of the bedside lamp where Sophia lay unconscious. The scent of antiseptic mingled with the lingering metallic tang of blood, creating a suffocating weight in the air.Adrian crouched low, his gun steady in his grip, his heart a relentless drum in his chest. His every instinct screamed at him to eliminate the threat, but the voice from the hallway froze him in place."Come out, Blackwood. Let’s finish this."The voice was familiar—too familiar.Adrian’s blood turned to ice. His grip tightened around the gun, his knuckles whitening."No. It can’t be—"Simon moved with the precision of a trained soldier, gun raised as he positioned himself by the shattered window. His jaw was tight, eyes scanning for movement. "Adrian," he murmured, "you need to get Sophia out of here. I’ll handle this."Adrian shook his head. "No," he said, voice low and lethal. "This ends tonight."The tension in the air crackled, an electric charge before a s
