New beginning: Billionaire love story

Chapter 451 Adrian Found Out

Adrian stared at Claire's eyes with seriousness in his eyes. Claire couldn't hold his gaze as she looked away feeling guilty for hiding such a secret to him especially when they were both are in a relationship. Crossing his arms over his chest, Adrian stared down at Claire while Matthew was taking care of Claire's bloodied arm.

"So, I'm waiting Claire."

Claire looked up to him, holding his gaze, then sighed. She turned to Matthew and placed her hand on his. "Matthew, can you please give us a moment?"

Matthew looked between Claire and Adrian for a moment before nodding. "Ok, I will wait outside while watching the area.

He stood up from his seat leaving Claire's arm unattended and left the safe house. Adrian decided to take Matthew's place and took her arm alongside the bandage.

"Adrian, I-I didn't mean to lie to you or even hide things from you,"

"But you did." He cut Claire off while treating Claire's wounds.

She sighed. "You are right, I did but listen..." she turned to Adrian and stared into his eyes. "I have my reason why I hid it from you."

He looked up at Claire, no emotions on his face. "What's the reason, Claire?"

"You know that my past isn't as beautiful and memorable as others." she stood up, pulling her arms and ignoring Adrian who was treating her wounds. "I lost my memories for three years. Both my parents died, and I was the only one who was alive. My business partner whom I thought I could trust try to take over my company and he didn't even try to find me. I was married to the man I hate and now he is my business partner. I have an enemy, Adrian. Lots of enemies and I fear my enemies are expanding." Adrian sat quietly listening to Claire's explanation, not interrupting her for once.
