AGAINST THE FATES A Shock
"I never thought you'd one day become a party girl," Adi commented as he drove through the mind-numbing traffic towards the club Faith mentioned. It had surprised him when he saw her all dressed up to leave the house when he arrived there. Surprised and almost burned up the possessiveness that was burning inside him. Andrew had given him quite a shock today. Having lived with seeing her and Andrew together, he had assumed that he would be able to handle any jealousy due to Faith being friendly with other men. However, he now understood. When she had been Andrew, he had loved he but never seen her as being 'his'. And that was not the case now. He had already made his intentions clear and was determined to win her over. And so, as Andrew said, he would have to own this covetousness and proprietorial instinct or Faith would never be his. Looking at the way she was presently dressed, he would have to quickly grasp the green eyes monster because if he really did try to cover up those beau
AGAINST THE FATES A Confession
As Faith struggled to get off Adi's lap as she protested that she wasn't thirsty, Adi was not yet ready to let her go. Instead, he brought his lips close to hers and whispered," I am thirsty. And jealous." Noticing that Ross had not followed them, Adi pulled her away from the crowd towards a small escape door at the back. Once inside, the music from outside was cut off and the slightly bright light showed her flushed face. Blinking up at Adi, Faith could not help but frown," What is wrong with you, Adi?" "I am jealous. So I wanted to steal you away and I did." "Jealous of what?" Faith questioned while crossing her arms in front of her. Her stance told him she was ready to fight if he ended up speaking the wrong thing. So, he delayed using strategy. Instead of answering, he pulled her close and gently wiped her face with a handkerchief, before placing a small peck on her lips. "I am jealous that I cannot dance with you. I am jealous that all those people can get close to you, even
AGAINST THE FATES Our First Night
Before Faith could even understand the happiness and elation coursing through her, Adi was kissing her... once, twice... making her realize that now that they had known each other, never would be enough. Immersed in the giddiness of having him, Faith kissed him back... fervently and urgently. Her fingers combed through his hair, settling on the nape of his neck... trying to press closer. Adi kissed her as if his life depended on it. He was ecstatic that this time she had not just accepted his kiss or even only begrudgingly kissed him back. She was in this moment as much as he was. He caressed her bare back, running his finger along the length of her spine. She arched into him at the sensation, a slight moan escaping her as their kiss broke and she threw back her head in abandon. Faith felt as if she was melting into him. His scent seemed to surround her as she inhaled sharply. Never before had she felt like this. This urgency to be with anyone, to feel him so fully pressed against he
AGAINST THE FATES Just Peachy
As Faith raced into the shower to get ready, Adi fell back onto the bed with a groan. It was only half past six and she was already rushing about. Sighing, he stared up at the ceiling while listening to the water run. She was his... finally. But in addition to the joy there was also fear. There were so many things they needed to talk about, secrets that he needed to reveal so that they would be able to build a strong relationship. Sitting up, he rubbed the back of his neck and pushed aside the blankets, grabbing his shorts. He'd worry later. For now, he needed to make her breakfast or else the girl would skip it. A habit that she had since her own school days! Faith showered hurriedly but as she started to dress, she could not help and look at the little marks that Adi had left all over her. In all her imagination, she had never thought that Adi would be such a feisty lover. He was always such a gentleman. But he had almost turned into a beast in the bed. Even her wrists were slig
AGAINST THE FATES A Move
Caitlyn Swarovski looked down at the receipt that she had received from the jeweller and hugged it to herself. Andrew Heming had brought a ring? Could it be that he was planning a proposal? She had been his only girlfriend for these last years so it must be her that he was going to propose to, correct? As she would have happily swirled, the doors to the lift opened and a beautiful young woman walked in. quickly placing down the receipt, she smiled elegantly at the woman who had just entered, "Miss Andrea. How are you?"Andrea Heming smiled thinly at the woman and spoke casually," You have to stop addressing me so formally. You are very close to my brother so that makes us very close as well."Caitlyn scoffed in her heart but maintained a gratified smile on her face and said, "You are too kind, Miss Andrea. But even if I am close, as long as we are not family, it wouldn't be right to call you by name. You must be here to see Mr Heming. But he is not in.""Oh I am here to see him but I
AGAINST THE FATES I Miss You
"I'm missing you." Faith looked down at the dough she was kneading, seemingly unaffected by Adi's voice but the little glow on her face showed the truth. "Adi, you left only a few hours ago. And you are working, how can you even think of missing me?""I always miss you when I am not with you. If I could, I'd turn myself into that pendant you are wearing and always be near you."Guffawing at the gibberish he was speaking with such a serious face, Faith thanked the heavens she was wearing her pods. If anyone would have overheard, she would die of embarrassment!"Adi! That is the dopiest thing I've heard from you!""Fifi. I can be more dopey. I am going to fire my assistant. He should have consulted me before arranging my schedule."Faith placed the dough into the freezer and commented, "Well, I am sure it is not the first time he has arranged your schedule. So you cannot blame him. You can only blame yourself.""So, what time are you flying out tonight?""It's later, around midnight...F
AGAINST THE FATES Kidnapped
Adi walked from the airport's parking towards the lounge with a grim face followed by his assistant and two other people though they maintained a distance from the man. It was clear to all that their boss was in a 'mood'. To add to their woes, the airport seemed to be extra crowded today while the VIP entrance for private planes was closed. To say he was angry would be an understatement. He wanted to cancel everything and spend his time with Faith but instead, he had not even been able to talk to her today, let alone be with her. She had been so busy during the day that he had been tempted to just go and kidnap her. He'd yearned to ask her to come with him on this trip. Maybe he could come clean about the secrets of the past. But now... maybe once he was back, he'd plan a holiday with her instead of a working trip. If she agreed.His thoughts were interrupted by a silhouette that resembled Faith and he stopped to look. But there was no one. However, he had taken only a few steps when

Gradually, young stars and starlets strutted up the red carpet amid the flashing lights of the paparazzi and the fanfare of fans who screamed the names of their favourite celebrities. A low buzz of excitement seemed to be rushing through the crowd of paparazzi who were enthusiastically clicking away at their cameras. The undercurrent was almost palpable because soon the main guests of the show would be attending the award show that was being hosted tonight by G & H Entertainment. The nation's three most eligible bachelors were going to be attending the gala together. A first time in the short history of the prestigious music awards Adi Grenier, the CEO of G&H Entertainment was the first to appear, sending many females and males present there to almost swoon at the sight.
