Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 31: EMBARRASSED
ADRIANNAEthan released me from the hug, and moved back.“I’m so sorry all this happened to you, and I wasn’t there for you” he said.I still sat there, my mind lost and foggyWhat just happened?Oh my, oh my, why was my heart beating so fast?I could hear how loud my heart was beating, I wasn’t even joking.Everywhere was drop dead silent.Was I supposed to feel this way?No no no.I moved back so suddenly that if i wasn’t careful enough, i would have landed on the cold hard floor.“Ehm y…yea y…y…yes” I stammered as I tried to gather myself together.I raised my hand to my face and touched my cheeks. I could feel it hot and burning.My eyes widened in shock. What was happening?“I..i have to go Ethan, i just r…remembered i have something im…important to do” i said as i immediately stood up from the bench.“Why? Did something happen?” I heard him say as I turned around.“No! Not at all, just have something to do at home” i said, still backing him.I didn’t want to look at him at all,

ETHANONE WEEK LATER“Ryan, where the freaking hell are you?” I said immediately he picked the call.“We have a board meeting in ten minutes, and you know how important this is for us,” I said as I began to pace around the office.“I’m coming Ethan, you know this is all your fault, so please do not rush me. I will get to the office soon” Ryan said on the other side of the phone.I stood there, looking confused.“How the h*ll is it my fault Ryan?” I asked.“Are you seriously asking me Ethan? Really?” Ryan said. From his tone, I knew that he was very angry.“Ethan, if you had just come to the office that day, we wouldn't be doing this. By now the investors would have agreed to work with us. But no! You just had to miss that very important day.” He said.I stopped pacing around, my hand gripping my phone tightly.I tried to calm down.“Ryan… i have already apologized to you already, something really important came up that day” i said over the phone.“But you knew how important it was fo

ETHANI stared at my phone for a good five seconds, before I finally moved.“I have to pick this Ryan, I will be back” I said as I stood up, walking out of the office.I didn’t want Ryan to know who I was talking to or even listen to my conversation.I walked far away from my office, taking a look at the distance and was sure that even if Ryan burst out through that door at any moment, he won’t still be able to hear anything.I looked at my phone, and it was still ringing.I took a deep breath and picked the call, placing the phone slowly to my ear. But immediately I did that, my heart froze and my eyes widened.I stood there, not even able to comprehend what was happening.Was she crying?I had just picked up the call, and the first thing I heard was Adrianna’s sniffle.My mind began to race. What had happened and what had made her cry?“Adrianna, what is wrong?” I asked her as I began to pace around, my face laced with worry.“Why are you crying?” I asked when I didn't get a respons

ADRIANNA“I…i saw Jasmine today” i said as i looked up at him, tears streaming down my eyes.Ethan looked at me confused. I knew he couldn’t understand. He just wouldn’t understand.The pain I was feeling at this very moment was seconds to none.He took my right hand in his and looked at me deep in my eyes.“What happened?” He asked as he looked at me.I tried to calm down, using my other hand to clean my tears that refused to stop.I didn’t know if telling him what happened was the right thing, knowing how he is. But I just couldn’t hide it anymore, I needed someone to talk to, and I only had him.“Jasmine came to the coffee shop today” I began my voice low but I knew he could hear me perfectly well.“I don’t know if she just came to get coffee, not knowing i worked there or she came to mock me” i said as fresh tears began to stream down my eyes.Ethan stretched his hand towards my face and wiped my tears with the back of his hands.I gave him a smile. “T…thank you” I said.“So, she

ADRIANNA“Yes, I need to divorce Raymond,” I said as I looked at Ethan.“I am still legally married to him, even if it lasted just a day”“In order for us to get married, I need to divorce Raymond,” I said as I pointed at the both of us.Ethan gave a nod.I sighed and reclined back into the car seat, closing my eyes.I needed to breathe.“So, why have you been ignoring my calls and texts?” I heard Ethan say, making me snap my eyes open with speed.Oh shit! About that.“No I wasn't,” I said as I sat up.“Yes you were,” he replied almost immediately.“I have to go, my break is over!!” I instantly said as I quickly opened the door and jumped out of the car.“Wait… you’ve still not answered me” I heard Ethan say as I ran into the coffee shop.Heck yea, i have no explanation to give you.“Phew” I sighed as I tried to calm down, my chest heaving.I took a look around and there were customers seated. Some were smiling, laughing and having conversations with each other, while others were just

ADRIANNA Ethan moved back slowly, as he looked at me, his eyes never leaving mine.I sat there, still frozen in place at what just happened.“I’m sorry” I heard Ethan say as he looked at me.“You’re sorry?” I replied almost immediately, my brows furrowed in confusion.I had not expected it to happen, so there was no way I could have avoided it.“We…we talked about this Ethan” I said as I looked at him.The frown evident on my face.“I know Adrianna, i just…” he said as he looked at me.“No intimacy” I said as I moved back away from him.I held the door handle tightly, my hand firm and never leaving it.“I’m sorry Adrianna, i just couldn’t help it” Ethan said as he tried to move closer to me.I moved back instantly, as I pushed my hand forward stopping him from coming any closer.“Well you should have tried harder” I said and with that I opened the car door and came down from the car, looking around to see if there were any available taxis around.I signaled for one which I saw was fr

ADRIANNATWO DAYS LATERIt’s been two days since I last talked to Ethan. I had been avoiding his numerous calls, and had not been paying attention to his texts.He had sent Roland and Darka countless times to meet me but I always just ignored them and walked out.I looked up at the wall clock that was hanging in my room. It was currently nine in the morning, and i needed to be at the doctor’s office in an hour, that is by ten, and i had not even had my bath.The doctor had called me in for a check up. I needed to know how my baby was doing and to also check up on my health.I groaned as I stood up from the bed. I had begun to feel unnecessarily weak and tired, and all I just wanted to do was lay down on the bed and sleep for hours. But I knew that wasn’t going to be possible. So with my tired body, I struggled to stand up from my bed and groggily walked into the bathroom to have my bath.The bath was soothing and quick.I came out of the bathroom, shivering and with my teeth chatterin

ADRIANNA After my visit to the hospital and my checkups, I had another thing on my list to do, and that was to get the divorce papers.I was currently standing in front of my attorney’s office, well technically not mine, but he will be my lawyer for now, till i finalize the divorce.I held my purse tightly, as I walked into the office.I entered inside and I was immediately greeted by the beautiful designs that the office had.Mr. Collins was sitting in his seat checking out some paperworks.I gave his desk a little tap to have his attention, because he seemed like he didn’t notice when I came in.“Hello, mrs…” he said as he looked at me. I guess he was trying to figure out my name.I gave a smile. “Mrs. Adrianna” i said as I stretched my hand forward for a handshake.He shook my hand, and offered me a seat, which I took immediately.“So, how may I be of help to you?” Mr. Collins asked as he dropped the paperwork on the table, and took up his glasses and wore it.“Well, I need divorc

ADRIANNA “Stopppp are you serious?” I almost screamed in excitement, then I turned towards him. “I mean if that is okay with you?” He asked, and shrugged, and I rushed to give him a hug.“Are you freaking kidding me?!!! This is the best thing I have heard in a while” I smiled sheepishly, releasing him.“I’m sure Darka, Roland, Anna, and the rest would be excited to know the gender of this little pumpkin” he said, as he placed his hand on my belly, giving it a gentle rub.“I knowwww” I said as I also placed my hand on my belly.“Thank you!” I tiptoed to meet up with his height. I planted a kiss on his lips, and just when I was about to come back down, I felt his hands on my waist.“Hmm feisty!” He groaned as he stared deep into my eyes. “Should we continue from where we stopped right before I went to work?” He said and I could feel my cheeks start to get hot.My mind went back to this morning, and the feeling I felt. It was glorious. “I already told you not to get your hopes up” I s

ADRIANNATheresa handed me a cup of decaf, and we walked to the dining room to take a seat.“So”“What have you been up to lately?” Theresa asked as she took a seat by the edge of the table, and i sat down beside her, placing my cup on the table.“Well” i began as i adjusted my position to properly face her. “You know how I told you the last time I came here, that I was going to get divorced with Raymond in about a week?”“Yes yes I remember!” she slightly nodded, giving me her full attention.“That didn’t happen,” I said, looking down at the cup of coffee, staring hard at it, trying so hard not to remember what happened that day, and the excruciating pain I felt.“What? I don’t understand? What happened? Look at me Adrianna” Theresa said as she took her hand to my chin, lifting it up so that I could look at her.I took a deep breath, before telling her what had happened.“Something happened and I was taken to the hospital,” I told her, letting out a laugh.“I…ehm Jasmine had hit me a

ADRIANNA The shock on my face was as clear as day. Never in my time of staying here did my thoughts ever click to this. Not like I hated it, hell nah, it was rather the opposite, but I was just quite surprised, like really really surprised.Darka and Roland are together? What else did I not know?“I…i…i” I struggled to find words but nothing seemed to want to come out. It felt like there was a lump in my throat, stopping me from actually letting out words.Words totally couldn’t express how shocked I was, and Roland and Darka held the same shocked expression. ‘Should I just walk away?’ I thought inwardly, totally confused on what to do. Yep, that’s exactly what I’m going to do!“I…i’m so sorry!” I finally managed to say, as I immediately turned around, and began to walk away. My legs were shaky, and felt like they would give up within seconds, but I didn't even turn to look, I just kept walking.Roland and Darka chased after me, making me stop abruptly. “I…i didn’t see anything i p

ADRIANNAI just wanted to take a power nap, and i ended up sleeping for four hours straight. I thought power naps were supposed to be for about thirty minutes to an hour? How in the world did I sleep through the morning and into lunch time? Recently i have been sleeping a lot, and i guess it was because of the pregnancy. I didn’t even know if i was to be happy or sad about it.It definitely had its advantages and disadvantages. I mean, I was having enough rest, but…. It was tiring to always wake up feeling more tired than before I slept. And with Ethan back to work, I was constantly almost, always alone, except when Anna came to keep me company. But she also has things to do like taking care of the house, with the other maids. So I spent little time with her. I yawned as I got out of bed, stretching out my arms and whole body. I had to go take a shower. I needed to go see Theresa. We haven’t spoken in a long while, and I was kind of excited to see how she would react when I tell her

ETHANThe room fell silent, as if the air had been sucked out of it. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut."Excuse me?" I asked, trying to process the information.My secretary nodded, her eyes wide with concern. "Yes, sir. It's all over the news. OmniCorp's CEO, Rachel Lee, has announced a merger with NovaTech, our largest competitor."The room erupted into chaos, with shareholders shouting questions and concerns. I slammed my fist on the table, calling for order."Let's not jump to conclusions," I said, trying to regain control of the situation. "We need to understand the implications of this merger and how it affects our proposal."Mr. Johnson stood up, his face red with anger. "This changes everything," he said. "We can't compete with NovaTech's resources and market share."Mrs. Patel nodded in agreement. "We need to reconsider our strategy and prioritize damage control."I nodded, taking a deep breath. "I agree. Let's assemble a team to analyze the situation and come up with a

ETHANI stepped down from the car, straightening up my suit as best as I could. Mary had called me to let me know that the shareholders were now seated, and waiting for me to address them. I walked into my company, waving past the receptionist that had a wide smile on her face. Everything had to be in order, and i dare not fuck it up. I took the elevator up to my office. Immediately I got in, I gathered the rest of the file that I left in the office days ago, and headed to the boardroom. As I stepped into the boardroom, I was met with the piercing eyes of people who had invested their trust and money in me and my company. Ryan was also seated beside an empty chair, which was supposed to be where i would sit. I walked over to him, and took a seat.“Can we have a talk later?” I whispered to him. He looked at me for a few seconds, and then turned to face the other way.I guess that meant yes. I stood up, took a deep breath, and adjusted my tie. Time to deliver. “Ladies and gentlemen”

ETHAN“Damnit Ethan! When did all this happen?”“How could you keep something like this from me?”“I thought we were best friends” Ryan let out all these words, screaming at the top of his lungs. I knew he was seriously angry with me. I kept this away from him for months, without the intention of telling him, and now I was feeling so bad. “Well technically, she isn’t my wife yet, not until after the divorce” I said, clearing my throat.“Divorce???” Ryan said, his tone evident of so much confusion. “Ethan, what are all these about?”“I am so pissed right now”“So this was what you were hiding from me all along? I knew something was off with you, but marriage? Divorce?”“This, I didn’t expect,” he said.The other side of the phone was silent for a while, and when I was about to speak, I was interrupted.“Let’s even leave out the fact that you are married, or about to get married, i don’t care!”“You kept this away from me? Your best friend?”“At this point, I don't even think you take

ETHAN I liked the little effects I had on her. I liked that Adrianna was flushed red in front of me. My little princess. My big baby. She was the air that I breathe. “I’m angry with you” she said, slapping my hand away from her chin. I let out a little smile. “I know that, and I am here to apologize,” I said as I sat down on her bed, my weight pressing down on her soft mattress. “What would you like me to do for you?” “I’ll do anything” I said, and her eyes widened in excitement. “Really?” She asked as she adjusted herself on the bed. “Yes babe” I planted a soft gentle peck on her forehead, making her shiver a little beneath me. “Don’t_don’t call me that” she complained, her voice terribly low, but a little audible enough for me to hear. “Call you what? Babe?” I acted like I didn't know exactly what she was talking about. “I shouldn’t call you babe?” She nodded. “But you are my baby” I planted a kiss on her right hand. “Whatever!” She scoffed and I couldn't help but sm

ADRIANNA I walked out of the bathroom, drenched in little droplets of water. drying off my body, with my towel that was placed on the stand, I walked over to my wardrobe, and took out a cute nightgown that had yellow flowery designs on it. I hesitated at first, trying to see if it was something i would love to wear downstairs, as Ethan had instructed or rather begged that I come eat dinner with him downstairs.I giggled at that. “Hmm, doesn’t matter” I uttered as I stared at myself and the nightgown in the mirror. I quickly put it on, and arranged my hair in a cute messy bun. I slid into my bunny shaped flip flops, and hastily walked out of my room, not forgetting to take my phone, and also slamming the door behind me. I still hadn’t told Ethan the news, and that was exactly what i was going to do right after dinner. Descending down the stairs, i met Ethan already seated, with Anna standing right behind him. In front of him was a plate that was already filled with food. My eyebrows
