Chapter 61 The Message She Never Sent

  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.

Chapter 62 The ring

  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

Chapter 63 The Ring Was Never Yours

  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

Chapter 64 The Unexpected call

  That evening, Emily curled up beside Adrian on the couch, her head resting against his shoulder as the soft glow of the screen lit up the living room.  They were watching the freshly edited footage from the night she’d surprised him—the velvet box, the exchanged rings, the fireworks blooming above their heads. The photographer had done a beautiful job. Every frame looked like a dream, but it was the unspoken expressions between them—the quiet awe, the tenderness—that made Emily’s chest ache just a little.  She reached for Adrian’s hand without thinking, interlacing their fingers.  “By the way,”she said quietly, her voice a soft thread in the calm.“I went to the hospital today to visit Miss Hart—my old high school teacher.”  Adrian turned slightly toward her.“How is she doing?”  “She’s stable now. But…I ran into Mike. And Vivian.”  Adrian’s hand tensed almost imperceptibly in hers.  Emily felt it. She gave a small, reassuring squeeze.  “I told him I’m married,”she continued.“

Chapter 65 Nothing Left to Find

  Emily’s voice stayed calm, but her grip on the phone tightened just slightly.  “Yes, we did break up,”she said.“But that was because Mike cheated on me. With Vivian.”  There was silence on the other end.  “And as for A Design—I left because I no longer agreed with the direction of their investments. I believe they’re heading somewhere dangerous, and it doesn’t align with what I value. So yes, I sold my shares.”  She paused, then added evenly,“And it wasn’t‘some man.’I got married.”  More silence.  Then, quieter, firmer:  “Also, it’s been two and a half years since either of you contacted me. Not a call, not a message. You’ve never once asked how I was doing. So no—I didn’t think I owed you a heads-up.”  She glanced at the clock.  “It’s ten o’clock,”she said, voice soft but final.“We’re going to bed now. Goodnight.”  Adrian said nothing at first.  He simply reached over and placed his hand gently on the small of her back, his thumb moving in slow, soothing circles.  The t

Chapter 66 The Ring That Tells Everything

  The car was quiet as it moved through the late-morning traffic, sunlight glinting off the glass as Emily and Adrian sat side by side in the back seat. She had finally made up her mind—Adrian would meet her parents today.  Neither of them spoke much, but her fingers were curled loosely around his, resting on the seat between them. The tension in her shoulders hadn’t gone unnoticed.  “You sure?”Adrian asked gently.  Emily nodded.“As sure as I’ll ever be.”  He squeezed her hand once, and she gave him a soft, grateful smile.  Their driver took a turn onto the lakeside road, the city slowly giving way to the quieter outskirts where her parents lived.  —  At that exact moment, across the city—  Mike sat at his desk, scrolling absently through the latest business news when a headline caught his eye.  “Private But Powerful:E International’s Adrian Blackwood Breaks His Silence in Exclusive Feature.”

Chapter 67 Losing Control

  Mike’s fingers flew across the keyboard, searching every public profile, every business article, every whisper of Adrian Blackwood in the last few years. The deeper he looked, the more pieces fell into place. The more they burned.  And then he saw it.  A headline from a few weeks ago that had made its rounds in private circles:  “E International CEO in Passionate Late-Night Kiss—Newlyweds Caught in Car Park Romance.”  He’d seen it before.  At the time, he hadn’t cared to look closely—just another tabloid moment, he’d told himself. Just another fabricated headline trying to stir gossip around a man like Adrian Blackwood.  But now…  Now he clicked in again.  The photo loaded slowly. Dim garage lighting. A sleek car in the background. The CEO, Adrian, in a perfectly tailored suit—his hand cradling a woman’s face, kissing her with a hunger that made the moment look painfully private.  Mike zoomed in.  The shadows didn’t help. The woman’s face was partially obscured, half-turne

Chapter 68 Back in Her Hands

  Emily fell silent. She remembered what Mike had said weeks ago—that they weren’t her biological parents. The words still sat heavy in her chest. But she didn’t have the strength to say it now.  Adrian spoke instead, his tone firm but respectful.“The project A Design is bidding on is financially volatile. Emily had every right to walk away. Besides, the Morgans asked her to sell her shares long before the deal finalized.”  Her father narrowed his eyes.“That’s because they were going to get married…”  The sentence trailed off.  He looked at Adrian, then back at Emily.“So when…did you two get together?”  Emily hesitated, but Adrian didn’t.  “Two months ago,”he said.“After she and Mike ended things. I started pursuing her. We’re together now.”  Her parents exchanged a sharp glance.  Two months ago…  They remembered clearly—that was when Mike and Vivian had gone to that resort together. Just the two of them. They’d called Mike at the time, but had kept it quiet from Emily. They

Chapter 69 One Step Too Far

  At the end of the file, there was a single signature line.  She didn’t hesitate—she signed.  But then Adrian gently swiped back to the previous document. The marital asset agreement.  His gaze was warm, steady.  “Sign this one too.”  Emily looked at it again, frowning slightly.“But this…this entire thing just protects my assets. It separates everything for me. What about you?”  Adrian’s lips curved.  “I have more than enough,”he said.“You can try spending your whole life figuring out how to use it all. I’ll still be fine.”  She stared at him for a moment, something catching in her chest.  He wasn’t doing this to impress her.  He wasn’t doing it out of guilt.  He was doing it because he wanted her to feel safe. To feel free.  To feel chosen.  And when he said this life—something about that made her heart ache in the best way.  She picked up the stylus and signed her name.  Not because she needed the protection.  But because the man sitting next to her had just promise

Chapter 70 He Didn’t See It Coming

  Mike sat on the cold bench in the police station, jaw tight, wrists red from the cuffs they’d only just removed.  He hadn’t spoken since they brought him in.  Mike could hardly breathe.  He used to be the one she waited for.  Used to be the one she laughed with, called late at night, told everything to.  And now…  Now she looked at another man like that.  His chest burned. His throat felt tight.  But even then—he told himself, if she came back…  If she just showed up and said she made a mistake…  He’d take her back.  He’d forgive all of it.  Adrian. The wedding ring. The silence. The lies.  He’d erase everything just to have her again.  The heavy door creaked open behind him.  Lucas stepped inside, his usual confidence nowhere to be found. He held a file in one hand, keys in the other, his expression caught between frustration and pi
