Twenty six: New
Shocked, I moved my lips without uttering a word. And noticing that I looked stupid, I huffed. I couldn't say anything.
"You're silly." Adrienne chuckled, and tapped his arm. He raised his other hand, and pinched her cheek.
What was all this? How could she be paying attention to him when a whole Sebastian Martinez was in front of her? Although I had huffed, she didn't even look at me. Was she that in love with him?
Fine, he was tall and handsome. Amber brown eyes, fine pink lips, straight nose and nice brows, he all possessed. But that wasn't an excuse for her to not pay attention to me. For jeez' sake, a lot of girls cried to stay with me. So what was with her? Had she forgotten I used to be her husband? Couldn't she pay some respects?
"Guess who's cute on her first day" the irritating guy uttered. I wanted to scoff, but that would seem rude. And wait, how could he feel so comfortable to

Adrienne_______Sitting on the entrance in Claire's little house, I raised my knees to my chest, wrapped my arms around them, dropping my head in between them. To be honest, this day ended up being a really bad one for me.Fine. After I had told Sebastian to leave me, he had done so. In fact, although we sat kind of close to each other in class, he hadn't tried to disturb me. But, in a way, all of this made me feel bad and terrible. When he jerked my arm, it reminded me of how he worshipped my body that night. It reminded me of how he stated that all of those things were lust. It really made me so bitter.I sighed, then shut my eyes for a moment. Inhaling the cool breeze, I wrapped my arms around my body to form a temporary warmth. Staring at the dark sky, full moon and the stars was a habit I possessed whenever I felt so exhausted or frustrated. But when I had stayed with Sebastian, I hardly had time
Dominant Husband: Her worth Twenty eight: So help me Lord.
Slurping on my hamburger, I stared at Claire as she complained about her phone. All I'd say is that I was so confused. I didn't understand what was going on. She kept yelling at it as if it was some kind of living thing."Anything wrong there?" I enquired.Hissing, she took a glance at me. "I don't understand why this thing won't work. I'm so sick of the damn thing right now.""Let me see." I stood from my seat, walked into the kitchen, and took the phone from her.With a deep glare on her face, she tucked her arms around her chest, muttering."Maybe you need to take it to a phone technician. That won't cost much, will it?" I suggested.She sighed, shook her head, then took the phone from me. "Don't worry." Her voice was kind of sad. "I'll just wait till I'm able to get a new one. I don't have money now. And you know I won't wann

She huffed, turned her neck to the side, blinked a couple of times. "I don't want to listen to anything you have to say.""Hey." I ensured I sounded cold as usual. She turned to me, looking colder."First, I don't appreciate you touching me. It traumatizes me," she blurted out. Her voice was low, yet clear, holding a big deal of irateness.Not debating with myself, I released her hand from my hold. Speaking of trauma, I could understand what she meant. It was probably because I had told her I used her body to have some fun. So she still remembered that? After almost four months? Well, how would I have known she appreciated her body so much?I sighed. It was time to be cool."What is going on with you?" I asked as if I didn't know what was wrong. What was I supposed to say?!Her eyes squinted, the intensity in her anger rising. "With me? Are you supposed
Dominant Husband: Her worth Thirty: Heed to them
I turned my head to look at the trainer. Equally, the woman seemed shocked. She opened her mouth widely, staring at Adrienne like a confused person."Hello there?" The old woman squeezed her already wrinkled face. "Is there a problem? What do you mean? If you don't do the practical, there's automatically no point in you having to come here."Adrienne shook her head slowly, blinked again. "I want a different pair. I reject this person, and I don't think asking for another pair should be a problem.""Young lady." The woman frowned slightly. "First, do you realize you're causing a commotion here? And second, I'm so sorry, but you've got to accept any project partner given to you. The computer pairs everyone according to their admission numbers and names. It's not like we can actually do anything about it."I kept watching the weird drama. What else could I do? Or was I supposed to reject her as we
Dominant Husband: Her worth Thirty one: Upset
Thinking about all Adrienne had said, I couldn't concentrate on my work. It was Friday, which meant it was time to work. But instead of focusing on working, all I could think of was how crazy she had seemed threatening. There was absolutely no one who had spoken to me in such a manner. It felt as if her voice was everywhere in my mansion.Feeling so disturbed, I hopped from my seat, heading to the kitchen to grab a hot alcohol. Stepping out, I bumped into something. Maybe someone."Who the heck—" I wanted to yell, but I stopped when I saw it was Ethan. Of course it would be him. No one else had the audacity to come into my study room."Dude, calm down. It was only a mistake," he apologized.I frowned, walked past him, still heading to the kitchen. Alcohol was something I drank whenever I was too stressed out. Right now, it was what I needed. I felt stupid for wanting to
Dominant Husband: Her worth Thirty two: Concentrate.
Adrienne————"Thanks, Mommy." I grinned as I spoke to Mom over the phone. My lips pulled into a pout, my eyelashes batting like that of a child who was cajoling his mom for a lollipop."Is your course a stressful one?" She queried."Hm-hm. It's not too stressful. It's quite fine. And I'm really happy here. A lot of people like me. I feel loved." Saying that alone, she sobbed. I rolled my eyes, surprised at how well she could be emotional."I'm so glad you're happy." Her voice was shaky, probably because she was weeping. "I can finally sleep well at night."I giggled. "Drama queen."She laughed for a while. And after a moment of telling me how bored she always was, she said “goodbye”, and hung up immediately.Hunching a hard sigh, I leaned my back against the comfy sofa. S
Dominant Husband: Her worth Thirty three: A while.
"Ensure to not miss lunch, ok?" Claire stated the same thing for the one hundredth time. Irritated, I rolled my eyes."I won't, woman." I walked past her, grabbed my bag from the counter, stepping out of the kitchen.About to walk out of the house, she called my name. More irritated, I rolled my eyes again, then spun around to look at her."What?" I gave her a knowing look.She smiled warmly, walked to me. "Sorry to disturb you. But, um…" she bit her lower lip. "I want to know if you'll be able to work with that, you know, your ex-husband."I smiled back. "Thanks, hun. But don't worry, I'll be fine. Nothing's gonna happen, ok? If he tries to do anything crazy, I'll call for help.""Good." Her smile curled into a grin. "I hope to see you in the evening. I'll be hanging out with Dave for the meantime.""Hmm."
Dominant Husband: Her worth Thirty four: Just one.
This was weird. Too weird.It was almost two hours since Adrienne and I had started this project, but I still couldn't learn to be connected to what we were doing. The fact that I was with the woman I had once been married to, was a really crazy feeling. Again, she seemed so different.When we had been married, I thought she was some kind of dumb person. But now that she was explaining this project to me, I could tell she was quite knowledgeable. That was probably a reason many of our trainers liked her."Do you get that?" She snapped me out of my thoughts. Oh jeez, I had completely forgotten she was explaining something to me.My eyes flared open. "Huh? Get what?" I immediately regretted that I asked that. She'd know I hadn't been listening to her."Really?" Her eyebrows creased in an intense glower. Slamming her palm against the table, she stood up
