+25 BONUS

Adrian sat alone on the terrace of his house, swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand, staring into the distance.

The image of that little girl–his daughter–was burned into his mind.

Her golden hair, those striking green–blue–gray eyes, her fair skin, everything about her…

“She’s mine. She’s my daughter. And… do I even want to know her?” he murmured to himself.

The thought rattled him.

He had been an immature, reckless fool in his youth, making countless mistakes without a shred of regret. But if there was one thing he did regret… it was her–Laura Palmer.

He had let himself get swept up in his cousin’s schemes for revenge. And in the end, the supposed son wasn’t even Maximus Palmer’s. The boy’s red hair and pale skin gave away his true father immediately–some guy Antonia had met at a party. She had no choice but to marry him.

Adrian had spent years trying to forget about Laura, but there was one memory–one terrible moment–he could

never erase:
