And yet, after all these years, Gary had never once told Curtis why he\u2019d tried to have him committed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He\u2019d never\u2026 explained anything at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not \u2026 just explain it to him?\u201d Adriana asked quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If they\u2019d just talked, things between them might not have sunk to this point\u2013frozen over, not outright enemies, but treating each other like strangers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause this is the best arrangement we\u2019re going to get,\u201d Gary said. He figured Adriana was sharp enough to understand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The person in the shadows wasn\u2019t just targeting the Lincolns and the Bartons. They were after the Harrisons, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Driving a wedge between the Harrisons and the Lincolns was part of the plan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An uncle and nephew cutting ties, a \u201ccold\u201d Harrison family turning its back while Curtis was at his lowest- this was exactly the ending the enemy wanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana drew in a long breath and turned to look out the window.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What kind of person could lurk in the dark for so many years, calmly moving pieces around, one family at a time?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Someone who\u2019d nearly managed to drag four major families down with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, the only one of the four families that hasn\u2019t taken a direct hit is the Gills\u2026\u201d Adriana murmured. She couldn\u2019t help suspecting them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had people watching the Gills for over 20 years. Back then, the Gill patriarch was an old fox. Aside from swooping in to snatch a few big projects whenever the Lincolns, Bartons, or Harrisons were in trouble, he kept himself clean. No obvious leverage. Nothing easy to grab onto.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He paused, then went on. \u201cLater, he \u2018retired\u2018 early. Handed control of the Gills and Gill Group over to his son, Marcus, and slipped to the countryside to \u2018enjoy life\u2018 with a mistress\u2013at least, that\u2019s the story he sold to the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana frowned. \u201cThe bigger a man\u2019s ambition, the more he acts like he doesn\u2019t care about anything. Retiring early? That sounds like smoke and mirrors to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Gills definitely didn\u2019t smell right.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel the same. So, I\u2019ve kept people on Marcus and on the old man. So far, though, neither of them has slipped,\u201d Gary said, glancing at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If it were that easy to catch them, they wouldn\u2019t be the masterminds able to toy with the Bartons, Lincolns,\u00a0<\/p>\n
and Harrisons for decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back from the hospital, Adriana was distracted the entire ride.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Gills. Marcus Gill.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She\u2019d heard that Marcus\u2019s little sister, Maya, was also studying in Pastalia and would be in the same program as Denton. Maybe\u2026 that was the perfect opening to get closer to the Gills.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBabe, what did the doctor say?\u201d Curtis came out of the bedroom and froze when he saw Adriana sitting on the couch, spaced out. He immediately crouched down in front of her, panic in his eyes. \u201cIs it you? Or the babies?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe doctor said\u2026\u201d Adriana blinked, snapping back to the moment and looking at him. She\u2019d just opened her mouth-\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe save you first.\u201d Curtis gripped her hand tightly. \u201cNo matter what the doctor says, we save the mother. Always.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana stared at him, then couldn\u2019t help laughing. \u201cWhat are you even thinking? The babies are fine. Everything\u2019s green across the board. When we hit the due date, I just schedule the C\u2013section and pop them\u00a0<\/p>\n
out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis finally exhaled. \u201cThen why the long face? I thought\u2014\u2018\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u0f0b\u0f0b\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI invited Gary over for dinner tonight. Irene\u2019s coming too\u2013she\u2019ll be staying here for her delivery as well,\u201d Adriana said, rubbing Curtis\u2019s cheek. \u201cSo \u2026 Mr. Lincoln, do you feel like honoring us with your presence?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis narrowed his eyes. \u201cSo, now you just make decisions first and inform me after? I swear I have zero authority in this house.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adriana quickly threw her arms around his neck, practically climbing onto him. \u201cHoney \u2026 just say yes and eat with us, okay?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis grunted, but he didn\u2019t turn her down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He just didn\u2019t want to crush her good mood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re the best,\u201d Adriana said, giggling as she snuggled in closer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis snorted again, all pride and fake annoyance, then simply scooped her up and headed for the bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTomorrow, skip class. Just stay home and focus on the babies.\u201d He didn\u2019t want her heading to campus now. \u201cNo way. My professors and classmates already bend over backward to help me. I can\u2019t start skipping just because I\u2019m a little heavy in the middle.\u201d Adriana looped her arms around his neck and wheedled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, Curtis could only agree,\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was how he was\u2013possessive, ruthless, and decisive with everyone else, but completely helpless when it came to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That evening, Irene swept in like a storm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finding Curtis alive didn\u2019t shock her. Honestly, she\u2019d seen it coming.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She and Gary had both lived long enough not to react like hot\u2013blooded kids.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, you played dead just to sneak off and babysit your wife, huh? Not bad. For once, you\u2019re acting like a real man.\u201d Irene laughed, eyeing Curtis up and down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Off to the side, Gary\u2019s face was a whole weather system\u2013dark clouds, low pressure, and thunder rumbling. He snorted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Curtis ignored him completely. The two of them still managed to be more distant than strangers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton, on the other hand, was young enough not to catch the vibe at all. Cheeks stuffed with one of Yolanda\u2019s cherry tarts, he stared between Curtis and Gary, eyes sparkling. \u201cCurtis, you and Gary look exactly alike!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
People always said nephews took after their uncles. The two of them, both stone\u2013faced and both silently annoyed by each other, sitting at the same table\u2013it only made the resemblance more obvious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
