Adrian POV

When I rosefrom my chair, I buttoned the front of my suit and I held the folder of papers in my hand and left my office to head down the hallway.

My footfalls were heavy on the hard wood, and my shoes were stiff because they were new.

There was a slight squeak in the air, but since they were hand-picked by my designer, I ignored the sound.

My grandfather door was cracked at the end of the hallway, and as I got closer, the old rush of feelings returned and I hated that fucking asshol

  • The Heir He Never Knew   Mysterious Isabella

    Adrian POV When I rosefrom my chair, I buttoned the front of my suit and I held the folder of papers in my hand and left my office to head down the hallway.My footfalls were heavy on the hard wood, and my shoes were stiff because they were new.There was a slight squeak in the air, but since they were hand-picked by my designer, I ignored the sound.My grandfather door was cracked at the end of the hallway, and as I got closer, the old rush of feelings returned and I hated that fucking asshole.I walked inside when he was on the phone, noticing his well tailored black suit. The last time we had a real conversation was when I told him to fuck off when Serena suddenly disappeared again for the second time, I still didn't understand that shit about the DNA and once again, I'm in the dark. We were civil as much as possible, communicating at the bare minimum to get the company running. I tossed the folder on his desk. “These are my numbers for the week.”Victor stared at me with the phon

  • The Heir He Never Knew   A Match That Shouldn't Exist

    Serena's ears rang as Dr. Brooks' words settled over and her heart couldn't stop pounding.A first-degree biological relationship, there was only one man on earth who could match that description, and she had spent five years making sure he would never come within a hundred feet of a hospital form with Noah's name on it."Who submitted the sample?" she asked, forcing the words past the tightness in her throat."That's the complication," Dr. Brooks said carefully. "It came through the general donor registry three days ago and there was no name attached, just a registration number. We only ran the compatibility match against Noah's profile this morning, and it came back stronger than anything we've ever seen since we started searching.""Anonymous donors happen?""Rarely but it's not unheard of for someone with means to prefer privacy, especially in this city."There was a pause before Dr. Brooks continued. "Serena, I have to ask this question directly. Is there any possibility Noah's

  • The Heir He Never Knew   Noah Is Found

    "Noah!"Serena's voice echoed through the apartment but there was no answer and her heart slammed against her ribs as she rushed into the hallway leading to the bedrooms. "Noah!"She flung open the first bedroom door but the bed was neatly made and the closet stood empty.She checked under the bed even though she knew a five-year-old couldn't disappear into thin air but saw nothing.She ran to the guest room and it was empty even the bathroom and the laundry room.Her breathing became shallow. "Noah!" she screamed again, her voice breaking.She stumbled back into the living room, her eyes darting wildly around the apartment, his toy blocks were still scattered across the rug and the little dinosaur lay on its side.One of his tiny sneakers had fallen beside the couch, he hadn't taken anything with him.Her hands shook so violently that she nearly dropped her phone while calling Ethan.He answered on the second ring. "Serena?""He... he's gone."His voice immediately changed. "What hap

  • The Heir He Never Knew   The envelope

    Adrian didn't sleep and long after the lights of the city had dimmed, he remained in his study with a glass of untouched whiskey sitting beside his laptop.Adrian eyes weren't on the screen anymore, they were fixed on the wall ahead, but his mind was trapped five years in the past.Victor had met Serena that day and that much was no longer a question but the question was why.His grandfather had warned him to stop investigating, yet the security footage only made him want answers even more.A soft knock broke the silence. "It's open."Daniel stepped inside carrying a tablet and another folder. "I apologize for the late hour, sir.""If you've found something, the hour doesn't matter."Daniel placed the folder on the desk. "I spoke with the apartment building's former manager."Adrian straightened in his chair. "And?""He retired two years ago, but he remembered your case.""What did he say?""He found it strange."Adrian frowned. "Explain.""The day Miss Hayes disappeared, several peop

  • The Heir He Never Knew   The Lie Between Us

    Victor's words lingered in the office long after he finished speaking but Adrian didn't look away.He had spent his entire life respecting the man standing before him. Victor Ashford was many things...ruthless, calculating, impossible to deceive but never careless with his words.Today, he had slipped and Adrian slowly rose from his chair. "Whose lie?"Victor's expression remained unreadable. "What?""You said everything I believed about Serena was a lie." Adrian folded his arms. "Whose lie was it?"The older man walked toward the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city.."The past is buried for a reason.""I didn't ask about the past.""I know what you asked.""Then answer me."Victor remained silent and the silence irritated Adrian more than any argument could have."For five years," Adrian continued, "I believed Serena walked away because she'd found someone else."Victor said nothing. "I believed she left me a letter."Still nothing. "I believed she chose another life."Victo

  • The Heir He Never Knew   Secrets Buried Alive

    Bianca pulled the phone away from her ear to make sure the call hadn't dropped as victor remained quiet but the line was still connected."Mr. Ashford?"Victor Ashford's voice finally came through, calm and unreadable. "Are you certain?"Bianca glanced at the picture on her screen again and the little boy's gray eyes stared back at her. "I've never been more certain.""You saw him yourself?""At St. Catherine Medical Center.""And Serena?""She was with him."Victor said nothing and Bianca frowned. "I thought you'd be pleased.""Why would I be pleased?""Because you've finally found Adrian's biological heir."The old man let out a slow breath. "You've made one mistake."Bianca's eyebrows knitted together. "What mistake?""You assumed this conversation should continue."Before she could respond, the call ended and she stared at her phone in disbelief, her irritation quickly turned into curiosity because his reaction wasn't what she expected.A man as obsessed with the Ashford bloodline
