AGAINST THE FATES The Sly and Conniving Adi
The people in the large office of Grenier- Heming Inc almost shivered as the guard informed them that Adi Grenier had arrived. While Adi had always been a cold man, they fear and chill that everyone felt had been very recent. First the man's divorce had been made public. No one in the office had even known that the man was seperated from his wife for over half a year.While everyone would have expected him to be angry or heartbroken after the divorce, like their other boss had been,Adi Grenier had seemed untouched and unaffected like other humans. But the new year seemed to have brought in a chill. Almost five days into the new year and they had almost lost so many of their colleagues. Adi Grenier semeed to be searching for slackers with a magnifying glass and swatting them out like they were flies. To save themselves, everyone had formed chat groups to let them know their boss' location once inside the office building lest they get caught.Adi Grenier walked into the building with de
AGAINST THE FATES Deflated Like A Balloon
With his chin on his palms, Ross stared at Faith, sulking hard. "Come on, Faith! You have to tell me. I know for a fact that my boss is not your ex. So, how do you know Adi Grenier? At least tell me that! And do not give me some random line! I know all the gossip! You are very close to him!" Fait licked the spoon to taste the new dessert she was trying and rolled her eyes at him," You must be awfully free to keep a check on the gossip in your old workplace." "Ha! The fact that my current boss appeared with my ex-boss, on a holiday night, at her apartment... I don't have to listen to gossip much! Getting you to talk to me took months of effort. To think you would let a strange man escort you home... Ha! So tell me..." Patting his cheek, Faith raised an eyebrow and questioned," Maybe your boss is so charming that I could not resist him." "Ha! Adi Grenier and charming? If it were Andrew, I would still believe it. But Adi Grenier! He is the one almost everyone is scared of. What charm?
AGAINST THE FATES Hello Again
Faith glanced down at her watch with a sigh as she drove towards her house. Ross had to leave early thanks to his manager calling him and now she would have to go back to a quiet house. Sigh. There was also the silly hope that Adi would be coming to see her today. Why was she thinking back to the past, she had no idea. It was just two Fridays. But the next moment, her heart thudded. Because right outside her home stood Adi, leaning against his car. Ordering her thundering heart to stay calm, she carefully parked the car and alighted. And when he walked to her, she questioned archly," What brings you here today?" "You." came the pat reply, making her pause in her step. "DO NOT BE AFFECTED, FAITH." She screamed in her mind. "Well then, you wasted your time. Also, next time you want to see me, just call me and we can fix a time and place. Don't just show up at my door. It's too stalker-ish. And I am sorry but I have somewhere to go so I won't be able to invite you in tonight." "Will
AGAINST THE FATES A Revelation
Faith gently patted him on the back before stepping away. Andrew seemed to realize that he had broken down at her front step and moved away, apologizing quickly," I am so sorry." Clearing her throat, Faith stepped inside," Come on in. Has something happened, Andrew?" As Andrew followed her in, he stopped short, taking in her appearance and the flowers that had been placed on the coffee table. "Have I interrupted something?" "Nope. I'll just go wear some clothes and we can then discuss the reason for your visit." Andrew looked down and steepled his fingers together, muttering to himself. "I don't know the reason myself." Andrew stared at the flowers and grimaced. He had been eager to talk to her like a love-sick puppy ever since he had seen her that night with RK. From curiosity about her connection with RK to jealousy over her closeness with him. Over the years, he had always thought that one day he would go back to woo her. But had never had the courage to overcome his guilt. But
AGAINST THE FATES Stop Wasting Your Time
Faith rubbed her eyes as she woke up to the sound of the doorbell continuously ringing. Though she and Rose had not been able to discuss her problems about Adi last night, they'd spent the night gossiping and drinking. And so, getting up from the bed seemed like a herculean task with her head hurting as if it had been hit by a thousand-pound hammer. "Hold your horses. I'm coming!" Faith called out as the person at the door refused to stop.m ringing the bell. The nauseous feeling she had been holding in until that moment, seemed to burst out as she watched the man standing at the door. And so, she did something that would have scared her most ardent suitor. She emptied the contents of her stomach all over his shoes. Adi glanced down at his shoes which were now filled with slime and then at the receding back of the person responsible for this.Gingerly taking off his shoes, Adi jumped over the mess and stared around. There wasn’t a place that was empty for him to place the breakfast i
AGAINST THE FATES A Painful Truth
"Fifi, do you really think so less of me?" "I don't know what to think of you, Adi. I don't know you anymore..." As she stressed the words 'don't know' Adi felt a pang in his heart. Stalking to her, he pulled her close to him and kissed her passionately, letting his pent-up emotions out. And when she tried to push him away, he bit her lip slightly as a way of punishment but also to let her feel the pain he felt before slowly his tongue caressed the stinging. Yes there was a vast distance of years between them but then he would not let that stop him. As the kiss intensified and Faith tried to push him away, hitting against his shoulders, he stepped away, breathing harshly. Outraged at his behaviour, Faith raised her hand to slap him but before she could, Adi had caught it with his and pushed her against the wall, pushing her legs apart with his knees and pinning her so that she wouldn't knock him on his a** with a kick to the groin. As she pushed against his chest again, he held her
AGAINST THE FATES A Woman Scorned
"Are you sure that she is the woman?"The investigator nodded hesitantly before continuing," I know that he has gone to meet her over the last three weeks but everything seems above board and it did not look like they were having an affair. For the first Friday, they played poker, chess and other arcade games and there was a man present when Mr Grenier dropped her off. And last time, even though they were at her home, I dressed up as the delivery person and there seemed nothing shady there. Even the flowers did not seem like they had been taken for a lover... And last evening, Mr Grenier did not even wait long. Just chatted and left. In fact, another man came over soon after he left. It might be the same man from the previous time but he seems to be this woman's lover..."As the investigator placed another photograph in front of her, Kathy could not help but raise her brows at the man who was hugging the woman.'Faith Heming.' A name she had not heard in these years. She had met the w
AGAINST THE FATES The Perfect Place
"Then let's not be in a relationship... There is no need to give this a name, is there FIfi? The silence between us, we have always understood it so why do we need to give it words?" Faith stared at Adi as he drove towards their destination wherever that may be, as she thought over his words. Since when did he become so difficult to manage? He was okay with her sleeping around. He was rolling with every thing she threw at him. Instead of getting confused, he had ended up confounding her! While her right hand clenched tightly over the handle on the passenger door, Adi suddenly broke the silence," Fifi, I am not going to crash us. You can let go of the door handle." Realizing that her own hand had almost turned white from holding the handle so tightly, Faith let go and tried to guess where they might be going to. But the truth was that she had no sense of direction and thus no idea where they were headed. It was almost an hour later when Faith had dozed of that Adi finally slowed the c
