Adam felt like a schoolboy waiting for a back pat from his favourite teacher. He had imagined telling her the truth so many times- revealing who he really was, what he had been building behind the scenes. Part of him had wanted to share it with her, badly. But something had always stopped him. Maybe it was fear. Maybe it was pride. Maybe he wasn't ready to see how she would react.
And now that she knew... now that the truth was out, he felt oddly worried..
But at least now, they could finally stand on equal ground. He didn't need to pretend anymore-that he was indifferent, incapable, or disinterested. She knew now. Everything. The useless heir she had married wasn't useless at all. He had not married her for the inheritance.
Still, his gaze followed her as she walked out of ABC Industries, surrounded by the same old coots who knew nothing better than to create trouble for themselves and for her.
