Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 40: A HUG
ADRIANNA “Is something wrong?” I asked as I looked over at him.He shook his head to signal a no, but I knew that was a lie.Obviously, he was not smiling all of a sudden.“Please talk to me,” I said.He turned his head to look at me and looked back at the road.“I just”“I just don’t like that you are going to see Raymond” he said.After he said that, I looked at him and immediately, I didn’t even know when I started laughing out loud.He looked over at me, his face laced with confusion and I was sure his mind kept asking him why I was laughing.“I…I’m sorry” I said, trying to stop myself from laughing even more.“What’s wrong? Did I say something funny?” He asked, confused.I stretched my palm in a stop motion, signaling for him to hold on for a while as I had to catch my breath and stop laughing.When I calmed down, I answered him.“Yes technically” I said as I gave a little giggle.“How is that funny?” He asked almost immediately.I was about to reply to him, when I noticed he ma

ADRIANNA TWO DAYS LATERIt’s the day.My eyes sprang open as I lay on the bed. I had been struggling to sleep the night before, because I kept thinking about this day and how it was going to unfold.Was I really ready for this? I had no idea.Was I ready to face Raymond? I did not know.Was I scared? Definitely.But will I back down? Obviously not.I sat up from my bed and took a deep breath, taking both of my hands to my face.“I got this” I muttered to myself as I stood up.I took off my nightwear as I walked into the bathroom to have my bath.The running water was calm and soothing and helped me a lot to calm my nerves.When I was done, I came out of the bathroom, the droplets of water hitting the floor.I quickly cleaned myself up and looked for a cloth to wear. I wanted something simple and comfortable and also something that could hide my growing bump, because I didn't want him to know I was pregnant.I looked through my closet and found a beautiful gown that looked so good. *

ADRIANNA I felt a little force as I was held by my elbow and turned around.“Wait Adrianna”“I still love you” I heard Raymond say and my face immediately contoured in disgust.“Get your filthy hands of me!” I screamed as i forcefully pulled my arm away from his grip.“You know what Raymond?” I began, his disgusting name rolling out of my mouth.“You disgust me”“You disgust me so freaking much, that i wonder how i loved you for the whole two years that we were together”“You are very shameless. You have no shame”“How dare you?” I asked as I looked at him in pure disgust.“You love me?” I asked as I scoffed.“I doubt that,” I said.“Now if you will excuse me, I have better things to do,” I said as I attempted to walk out again.But it seemed like Raymond just wanted to piss me off at all cost and this time I was ready for him.“Oh God help me” I said inwardly.He had stopped me from moving the second time and this time, I could feel my blood boil and patience left me immediately.I

ADRIANNA “You are what?” Raymond asked as his eyes widened in shock.I stood there wondering what to do next. He wasn’t supposed to know that I was pregnant and definitely wasn’t supposed to know that it was for Ethan.What was I going to do now?“I…i” was all I could say as I looked at him.“You are pregnant Adrianna?” He asked as his lips curled up in a smile.I slowly moved back, as i used both of my hands to hug myself.“Why didn’t you tell me this?” He asked as he tried to move closer but I immediately moved back.“Wh…what do you mean?” I asked as I looked up at him, my eyes holding confusion.“I…i mean it’s a good thing for us right?” He asked as he smiled.Hold on a minute, what exactly did he mean by it was a good thing for us? What was happening here?“What are you talking about?” I asked almost immediately.“I’m going to be a father Adrianna, i am so happy” Those words rolled out of his mouth, and instantly my eyes widened in shock.What the hell?What did he just say?A f

ADRIANNA I came down from the car and paid the driver his money.I stood in front of the coffee shop and I could see Theresa standing there happily waiting for me.I just didn’t understand why I felt a strong connection towards her, but anytime I thought about her, it always brought a smile to my face and I was always happy.I walked closer to her and gave her a really deep hug.“Hi Theresa” I said as I released her from the hug.“Hi darling,” she replied.“Let’s go inside,” I said as I walked behind her.We walked towards a table and I urged her to take a seat.“I’ll be back shortly” I told her as I walked to my manager’s office.I opened the door and I met my manager sitting behind her desk, while she was having a little breakfast.“Oh Adrianna, what brings you here? I thought you said you wouldn’t come to work today?” She asked as she dropped the cup she was holding.I gave a little giggle.“Yes, about that, i came to meet someone” i said as i leaned against the door.She looked a

ADRIANNA“Oh i am so sorry all this happened to you child” she said as she gave me a tight hug.She released me from her hug and took a look at her back, rummaging through it as she brought a white handkerchief out.She moved closer to me and slowly dabbed my tears with it.I sniffled.I had just told her everything. The betrayal, the cheatings, the scam, the pregnancy, you mention it.It felt like a burden had been lifted off my chest though, I felt closer to her.“So you mean to tell me that Raymond, that sc*mbag, cheated on you?” She asked, as she looked at me.I slowly nodded as I tried to calm down, and stop myself from crying.“Y…yes, he slept with my sister on our wedding night, as if that wasn’t enough, he chased me out of the house”“If he never loved me, he could have just said so two years ago, before we started dating, why did he have to do this to me?” I said as fresh tears began to stream down my eyes.Oh, there goes me trying to stop my tears.“It’s okay child, i am sor

ADRIANNA “Thank you Ethan” I said as I hopped into the car after he opened the door for me.“You’re welcome” he replied as he gently closed the door.I watched as he turned around to the driver’s side and entered, slamming the door behind him.I had called him to come pick me up about ten minutes ago, when I bid Theresa goodbye, and here he was.I quickly pulled out my seat belt and buckled it, while he did the same.The ride started shortly after, and we were on the road in less than a minute.At first, the ride was silent, until Ethan finally spoke.“So, how was it? I mean everything or…”“I don’t know, but how was it? You get what I mean right?” He said as he looked at me, and back at the road.I looked at him, and I immediately burst into laughter. He also started laughing too and after a while we both stopped to catch our breaths.“I mean, I don’t even know what to call it” he said as he shrugged his shoulders while laughing.I nodded my head, to let him know that I fully unders

ADRIANNA“Argh”“What happened last night?” I asked myself as I slowly rose up from the bed.With my eyes closed, I tried to search around the bed for my phone.My hand finally hit something and I knew it was my phone. I brought it to my face and opened my eyes.I checked the call log, and saw that I was on a call with Ethan last night.What exactly were we talking about? I was so tired last night that I didn't even know when I zoned out.Oh well, i would call him later, right now i needed to prepare for work.I pushed myself to the edge of my bed, then used my entire strength to stand up.“Woah!” I screamed as I landed back on the bed.I felt so weak that I couldn’t even stand up. I sat down on the bed for a few more minutes, before I was finally able to stand up again.This time, I had to hold the chair that was beside my bed to support myself.I walked towards the bathroom, but stopped when I got to the mirror.My eyes looked so puffy and I looked very tired. I used my two hands to

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
