Leaning back against the sofa, he narrowed his eyes.
"Then let him post them," Adrian said quietly.
Charles and Frank both snapped their heads toward him, staring in complete disbelief.
"What?" Charles gasped. "What do you mean?"
Adrian met their gaze without the slightest hint of hesitation.
"You both heard me," he replied. "Let him post them."
Charles stared at him, utterly speechless.
Adrian continued. "Tell me something, Charles. Why can't you tell Mark the truth? Why can't you tell him your ex is blackmailing you with intimate videos from when the two of you were together?"
"Those videos were made while you were in a relationship with Owen, weren't they? You loved him back then. So why are you acting as though you've committed some unforgivable crime?"
Charles lowered his head, his hands trembling.
Adrian frowned slightly. "When you started dating Mark, did you tell him he was your first boyfriend? Did you lie and tell him you'd never been with anyone before?"
