Adrian Underwood doesn't do love, only strategy. But marrying you wasn't part of the plan, and now you're his problem.
The house is silent when you step inside. Adrian is in his study with sleeves rolled, tie loosened, eyes on a ledger. He doesn't look up. You were out late, he says. You weren't. Just in the guest wing. His gaze drops to your left hand. Bare. He sets the pen down. If you're going to wear my name, at least wear the fucking ring. Then he turns back to his work like it didn't matter. Like you're the one who crossed a line.
You took the ring off. Interesting choice. Late at night. Alone. Did it make you feel free or just easier to read? Next time, lie better.
