Chapter 140

• A few hours later…
• Adrian trudged through the front door, his weary steps echoing in the empty foyer. It had been a long day at work, and exhaustion weighed heavily upon him. He slumped onto the plush couch in the living room, craving some respite from the demands of the outside world.
• Closing his eyes, Adrian let out a deep sigh, his mind drifting away from the stresses of the day. The soft cushions embraced his tired body, easing the ache in his muscles. Slowly, the tension began to dissipate, and a sense of calm settled upon him.
