Executive director? Well, if this is how unprofessional this bank has gotten, Adrian was definitely taking his business away.Whitmore's benevolen

“Can't believe you had something to do with the poisoning, you stronzo!”“What?!”“What poisoning?”The staff around them whispered in shock as they gave Niall the stinky eye.Everyone here was supposed to be family.Something as despicable as poisoning was unforgivable.Niall blanched. “Sir, I swear it's not what you think. I…”Realising how easily things could get out of hand with the staff whispering and guessing,“That's enough!” Adrian snapped just as Octavio wanted to hit Niall again.

Adrian's hand froze on the new fork he was about to pick from the centre.The fork clattered back into the holder.Without looking at the general, Adrian said, “That’s irrelevant. It's only logical that Seraphina and I part ways. Days. Mere days after we announced the engagement, she was targeted. She said he asked for the ring. She was almost strangled to death because of a damn ring!”He turned sideways again as he tried to level his heaving breath.Even Adrian couldn't understand why he was being affected like this.Theirs was just a convenient arrangement.But seeing those ugly marks on her flawless skin.Knowing

“Gramps, tell him he's acting foolish.”“You're acting foolish,” General Charles said so fast that Caroline narrowed her eyes at him.They were currently at dinner.Despite all efforts, Caroline had not been able to get much out of Adrian about the stunt he pulled with Seraphina.Admittedly, the latest info he gave her about Gramps' poisoning had distracted her for a while.Then she had realised that was his intention and called him out on it.But he had gone off with a perfectly timed phone call anyway.She hadn't been able to corner him since then.And she was sure he hadn't checked on Seraphina again since then.That…ugh!Caroline had always thought the elite young misses were spineless ninnies, obsessed with making the right marriage match and disguising their lack of backbone with polish and shine. With Seraphina, she realised she might have been wrong all along.Or the lady was just the rarest cut of the mould.Caroline had not got a thing out of her.Not even a complaint.Just

Jade-green eyes opened drowsily.“With my own scarf,” she rasped. “He wanted the ring. He didn't give me a chance to refuse.”Fury roiled in Adrian even as his gaze went to her finger.He was right, after all. This was because of him.He gave her that ring. He got her into this.When she saw the direction of his gaze, she raised her hand and wiggled the ringless finger.“I guess he got it. Though, I don't think I had it on in the first place.” Her voice dropped lower as she drawled, “It's all very fuzzy right now. Something keeps telling me I'm supposed to know him. I...”Her gaze went to

Then he quickly hurried towards Adrian. “Yes, he is, sir.”“It's just that our bodies repair more slowly as we age. His took a hit, sir, but with proper nourishment, his medication and enough rest, he will be back in top shape in no time.”Adrian wanted to believe that. He really wanted to.Still, dread only sank heavier into his chest, especially when Hex Lancaster's untimely demise chose that moment to pop into his mind.His hand clamped on the doctor's shoulder. “You don't want to lie to me, Doc,” he said gravely.Dr Trent swallowed hard as he responded, “I... I wouldn't dare, sir.”“Good.” Adrian nodded. He toss

Get home immediately. Someone put a hit on your fiancée.Adrian was in the middle of a meeting when he received the message.Something close to panic slammed into his chest at the thought of Seraphina in danger.He had to dismiss the brainstorming session the team was having.On his way out, he saw Fallon in the hallway.She was having a discussion with someone, but she waved cheerily at him.Remembering how close she was to Seraphina, Adrian almost told her.“Better to know the extent of the attack first,” he decided on second thought.He made a call to Caroline as soon as he merged with the traffic.“She’s stabilised, but still unconscious,” Caroline responded briskly. Then her voice caught as she continued, “Adrian, when I saw her, I swear I thought…” She cleared her throat awkwardly. “Well, you will see her soon. Are you on your way?”“Yes.”Adrian's hand tightened on the wheel as the call disconnected.Caroline wasn't an overly emotional woman.She's what many would call a tough
