The Rich Musician

Sleep didn't come easily for Olivia.

She tossed and turned, her mind a whirlwind of unanswered questions.

"Do you actually know the man you're pretending to love?"

Because the truth was—she wasn't sure.

Adrian had always been an enigma, a man wrapped in charm and confidence, but beneath it all, there were cracks.

And now, she couldn't ignore them.

By morning, she had made her decision.

If Adrian wouldn't tell her the truth…

Olivia spent the day buried in research, combing through old articles, past interviews, anything that might shed light on Adrian and Madeline's history.

But most of what she found was frustratingly vague.

It wasn't until she dug into archived reports that she found something worth reading.

An article, dated three years ago.

"Adrian Hayes' Mysterious Split from Longtime Partner Raises Questions."

Olivia's pulse quickened as she scanned the piece.

Madeline Cross hadn't just been a lover.

She had been Adrian's business partner.

And, if the reports were to be believed…

The woman who nearly destroyed his career.

Later that evening, Olivia found herself pacing her apartment, debating her next move.

She knew she could confront Adrian with what she had found.

But would he tell her the full truth?

Before she could decide, her phone buzzed.

"You're looking for answers. I have them. Meet me at the Grand Hotel. 9 PM."

Because she had a feeling she knew exactly who was waiting for her.

And she wasn't sure she was ready for what Madeline Cross had to say.
