The CEO'S Little Lamb CHAPTER 145
CHAPTER 145AUTHOR'S POVDarkness was the first thing Lara felt. Then came the pounding headache.A dull ache throbbed behind her eyes as consciousness slowly returned. Every part of her body felt unusually heavy, as though she'd been asleep for days.She frowned. Where... was she?nHer eyelashes fluttered open. At first, everything was blurry.A single light bulb swung lazily overhead, casting long shadows across what looked like an abandoned room. The air smelled of old wood and dust.Lara blinked several times, trying to steady her vision. Her heart skipped a beat. She wasn't in the mall anymore.bPanic flooded her chest.She instinctively tried to stand, but she couldn't. She looked down.Her wrists were secured to the arms of a weathered wooden chair. Her ankles were restrained as well, leaving her unable to move more than a few inches."No..."She pulled desperately against the restraints."No... no... no..."The chair creaked beneath her. Her breathing became erratic."Help!" Her

CHAPTER 144Sadie’s hands were shaking so badly she could barely hold her phone. The store security had cordoned off the restroom area, and paramedics were now attending to the two injured female agents. Sirens wailed faintly in the distance. She dialed Adrian’s number, tears streaming down her face.It rang only once before he picked up.“Adrian…” Her voice broke instantly. “It’s Lara. She’s gone. Someone took her. We were shopping and she went to the restroom and… and there was blood and fighting and she’s just *gone*.”On the other end, the silence lasted less than a second before Adrian’s voice sharpened with raw panic. “What do you mean she’s gone? Sadie, where are you? Which mall? Talk to me!”Sadie gave him the address between sobs. “Please hurry. I don’t know what to do. She was screaming, Adrian. I heard… I think I heard her scream before everything went quiet.”Adrian didn’t waste another second. He grabbed his jacket and barked at Ken, who was already moving. “Lara’s bee

CHAPTER 143AUTHOR'S POV Lara stepped out of the office building with a lightness in her step she hadn’t felt in days. She had a shopping date with Sadie so she told Adrian to leave without her. She also had her guards up knowing how dangerous it could be for her. The late afternoon sun painted the city streets in warm gold. A sleek black Mercedes stopped before her. She knew it was Adrian's driver so she got in.In under ten minutes, she got to the luxurious mall. Sadie was already waiting by the entrance, scrolling through her phone with one hand while balancing two iced lattes in the other.“Shopping therapy, incoming!” Sadie sang, thrusting one of the cups toward Lara as she saw her. “You look like you need it. Spill. What’s going on in that head of yours?”Lara took the drink with a grateful smile. “Let’s walk and talk. There’s… something I remembered. About Adrian.”They fell into step together, walking inside the mall. As they wove through the mall crowd, Lara recounted the l

CHAPTER 142AUTHOR'S POVRafael was tired of waiting. The abandoned warehouse echoed with the sound of boots scraping against the concrete floor as nearly a dozen men stood before him.Some were smoking. Others leaned against rusting pillars. Every one of them had blood on their hands. These weren't amateurs.They were the same men Rafael had used and trusted trusted months ago before Adrian Romano got him.Now...they were back.Rafael stood before a dusty table littered with photographs. Every single photograph showed one person. Lara Finn.He stared at the photographs with burning hatred. One of his men finally broke the silence."Boss...""Are we really going after the woman?"Rafael slowly looked up. His eyes were frighteningly calm."She's Adrian Romano's weakness."Another man frowned."But Miss Lopez specifically said…""I don't care what that bitch wants." His voice was ice. "I'm done waiting."He slammed both hands onto the table. "I've spent weeks hiding."His breathing grew

CHAPTER 141LARA'S POVThe city lights still sparkled behind my eyes as we stepped into the penthouse. The date had been perfect. Adrian’s hand never leaving mine. He looked devastating in his tailored black suit, the top buttons of his shirt undone now that we were home. I kicked off my heels with a happy sigh, feeling the cool marble under my feet.Adrian locked the door and came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and pressing a kiss to the side of my neck.“Bed?” he murmured against my skin.“Definitely.”We moved through our evening routine quickly — changing into comfortable clothes, brushing our teeth side by side like an old married couple. The thought made my heart flutter. I slipped into one of his soft button-down shirts and climbed into bed. Adrian joined me moments later, wearing only black pajamas pant, his body warm as he pulled me close.For a while we just lay there, tangled together in the quiet glow of the bedside lamp. His fingers traced lazy patterns o

CHAPTER 140LARA'S POVI thought Adrian would want to spend the rest of the evening alone after we left the cemetery. Seeing Alessandro Romano had clearly stirred emotions he didn't want to talk about.So, imagine my surprise when he loosened his tie the moment we stepped into the penthouse and said,"Go get changed."I looked at him in confusion."For what?""We're going out.""A date?"His lips curved into a small smile."Dinner."The heaviness from the cemetery seemed to lift from my shoulders."I'll be ready in twenty minutes."I turned toward the bedroom, only to be interrupted by a familiar voice."Correction."Ken strolled into the living room, munching on an apple as though he owned the place."It's our dinner."I blinked."Our?"He nodded enthusiastically."I'm coming."Adrian looked at him with an expression that screamed absolutely not."No, you're not.""I absolutely am.""No.""Yes.""You weren't invited."Ken shrugged."I invited myself."I burst into laughter. Ken immed

The CEO'S Little Lamb CHAPTER 65
CHAPTER 65Lara’s POVI made Adrian wait on purpose.Petty?Maybe.Deserved?Absolutely.Because A decision was an insane thing to text someone and then casually disappear into work meetings afterward like he hadn’t emotionally destabilized me for the entire day.So yes. I intentionally took my time.
The CEO'S Little Lamb CHAPTER 64
CHAPTER 64Adrian’s POVLara wanted clarity.That sentence kept repeating itself in my head like something I couldn’t shut off.Not because it was complicated.But because it was simple.And simple things had a way of becoming the most dangerous when they involved her.I stood by the floor-to-ceili
The CEO'S Little Lamb CHAPTER 60
CHAPTER 60Adrian’s POVI hated breakfast dates.That was the first thing I realized the next morning while standing in front of my closet at seven in the morning changing my shirt for the third time like some emotionally confused teenager.Absolutely ridiculous.I'd already sent the driver to pick
