ADRIANNA

I clung to the hem of my dress with my right hand as I stared down at the pictures I had dropped on the table. It felt like a dream. It didn’t feel real. I looked around, staring at Roland, Darka and Ethan. They all had a look on their faces that read that they were as shocked as I was too.

‘Where did it all go wrong?’ I questioned silently, staring hard at the pictures.

How could she? No matter how hard I tried to wrap my head around it, I just couldn’t understand why!

Why would she do this? Why would Anna do this? I had never done anything wrong to her, none that I knew of. I had always treated her like my sister, like someone I could tell things to.

I cleaned off the sweat that trickled down my chin with the back of my palm and picked up the pictures. I began to walk towards the door, ignoring the calls Ethan made. I only had one thought in mind, and that was to confront Anna. I needed to figure out what all these were all about.

    ADRIANNAShe stared at me, fear creeping through her eye sockets. She stood up and rushed to kneel before me. Tears began to stream down her eyes, like she had been desperately practicing for this moment, where she would be at my feet to beg for mercy.I scoffed and adjusted my seat backwards. “Save your tears Anna, I have no need to listen to your apologies” I said.“Like I said, I'm here to ask about something,” I added.“Jasmine in particular” her eyes widened.I stood up from the chair and placed my phone on the table, beside my purse.I began to slowly pace around the room, taking a look at Anna as she knelt down on the floor. AllI could think about was if and how I was going to make her speak up. This was my only chance. My only way to set things right.I sucked in a deep breath and proceeded.“Anna,” I began, staring right at her.“I need you to tell me everything Jasmine has been up to. Anything you know at all.”She immediately shook her head and tried to speak but her voic

    ADRIANNA “Jasmine got to him before us” the words rolled out of both our mouths as our eyes widened in realization. Damn it! “So that was the reason she came to see him” I blurted as I stared out the window. Two police officers greeted me as they walked by, and I slightly nodded, then smiled. “Well i’m not surprised” Ethan said, making me turn my head. “Seatbelt” he pointed to me, and I quickly buckled up. He continued, this time his hands firm on the steering wheel. “I’m pretty sure she would do anything to cover her tracks and hide all evidence. Right now we just need to figure out a way to get evidence or at least make her or Raymond speak up” I nodded almost immediately, totally agreeing to what he said. He started the ride, and drove out of the station seconds after. My phone dinged, and I took it off my lap. It was a message from Darka. Back home, the information I asked Roland to check was already waiting for us. I couldn’t even wait to get home, I just hoped there w

  • Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother    126: SHE GOT TO HIM BEFORE US

    ADRIANNA My hands trembled as I took it in. This could only mean one thing. Jasmine had been pretending all along. But for what reason? Why would she even think of doing something like that? Faking a pregnancy?Did Raymond even know about this? He had to, right? Maybe this was their ploy to step on my toes, thinking that it would hurt me to know that Jasmine was pregnant for Raymond.No wonder I found it weird, that all of a sudden, she announced that she was pregnant and they were even married, just a few weeks after finding out that they betrayed me.Somehow, everything wasn’t adding up, and I needed to figure out what this was all about.The vibration from my phone jolted me out of my thoughts. I didn’t even know I had spaced out for that long. I picked up my phone, only to find a message from Ethan, that read ‘you need to see this’I hurriedly gathered the pictures together, fixing them properly and putting them back into the envelope. I closed the car door and adjusted my hair

  • Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother    125: NO PREGNANCY?

    ADRIANNA “Then we better start moving” The words rolled out of my mouth. Sweat trickled down my face, and I dabbed it off with the handkerchief that I held tightly in my hand. I felt anxious, like my heart was beating faster than usual. My thoughts kept circling around what we would find on Raymond’s phone. I really hoped it was something concrete we could use against Jasmine.Ethan nodded, and then walked over to his bed. “I just have to pick something” he picked up his wallet, and walked back to where i stood. “Alright, let’s go” he held my right hand and pulled me behind him. We got to the garage, where Roland and Darka were already waiting for us, standing beside the range rover. Darka walked over to the side, opening the door for me, which I immediately stepped in. Ethan walked to the other side and hopped in.***The ride to the station was fast and quiet. Each second that passed, I couldn’t help the anxiety that creeped all over me. We got there in less than twenty minutes,

  • Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother    124: WE NEED EVIDENCE

    ADRIANNA I slumped down on my bed, facing the ceiling, lost in thoughts. Now that Anna had been arrested, it now dawned on me that this was real. The person I had given my trust to had betrayed me without even thinking twice. I just couldn’t wrap my head around it. Anna? The vivid memory of her giving something to Jasmine in the photo haunted me. Anna had been working for Jasmine all this time?‘But why?’ Was the question I had no answer to.I sat up and sighed. I turned to the left, where the envelope sat. I brought it closer and opened it up, bringing out the file in it. I read through the will, still shocked that Theresa had willed her house and belongings to me. My hand grazed the content, where her name was written.I sure did miss her. If she was still here, I'm sure she would have been jumping in excitement at the mention of Liam.“I miss you Theresa, so much…” I said softly, a light smile evident on my face.“I wish you were here to see” I lightly grazed the will, and sniff
