Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence by Ken Slaner

What exactly did Zayden know? What were his intentions? Whose side was he on? Sadie’s gut told her something for certain;
this man was a ticking time bomb!
Her face grew pallid, and she abruptly rose from her seat, declaring, “I’m afraid I must attend to something urgent. I shall take my
leave.”
Before she could exit, Zayden’s men blocked her path.
Zayden nonchalantly stood up, unhurried, and placed a reassuring hand on Sadie’s shoulder, gently guiding her back into her
seat. He wore a smile that held secrets, saying, “Why the rush, Sadie? My visits to Eleymond are rare, and this meeting ought to
be a precious occasion. And since you aspire to be part of the Fredrick family, why don’t we prolong our conversation?”
Unaware of when Zayden’s accomplices had discreetly come, Sadie grew increasingly anxious and flustered.
Zayden patted her shoulder with a touch of tenderness, leaning in closer as he remarked, “Calm yourself. You’re fortunate, you
know.
Few are privy to the intricacies of Holden’s past. Most have either been transferred or met their untimely demise.”
With a teasing tone, he shifted the conversation, locking eyes with Sadie.
“But, my dear, your dreams could be in danger. After all, Ariana has made her return. Do you truly believe she’ll never cross
paths with Holden again in this lifetime?”
Sadie clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and summoned a forced smile.
“Even if she does, what of it? I’m the one who stands beside him now, and I’ve earned my place!”

“Your place?” Zayden sneered, arching an eyebrow.

“Where, pray tell, did you acquire this position?”
“Simply put, by bearing Holden’s child,” Sadie replied through clenched teeth, struggling to maintain her facade.
Zayden regarded her with a wry smile before tossing a document on the table before her.
Sadie opened the document, and a series of printed photographs met her gaze. They were of the fateful day she had doled out
punishment to Adele in the lounge of the mall.
Her body instantly ran cold, nerves gnawing at her.
She had no clue how Zayden had gotten these images, what sinister purpose they could serve, or whether Holden was privy to
this dark chapter of her past.
Witnessing Sadie’s pallor, Zayden couldn’t hide his delight.
“One of my people happened to be overseeing that lounge area. Coincidentally, on that day, Holden misplaced something and
had my man review the surveillance footage to recover it. Little did they anticipate stumbling upon such a captivating incident. Be
thankful that these photographs haven’t fallen directly into Holden’s hands.”
At this point, Sadie could scarcely remain seated, her anxiety palpable. She stared at Zayden, her unease on full display.
“What are you trying to say?”

Zayden smirked and asked with a sinister edge, “Tell me, my dear, is Adele truly your flesh and blood?”
A shiver coursed through Sadie, her response still forming when Zayden went on, “Rumor has it that Ariana was expecting twins
back then, but now she’s returned with only one child. It piqued my curiosity. Five years ago, Ariana did indeed give birth to
twins. Her daughter, however, was frail and had to be placed in an incubator at the hospital. Then, just a few days later, that very
hospital was mysteriously engulfed in flames, and her daughter met a tragic end.
