ADRIANNA

“We’re here Adrianna” I heard Ethan say as I looked out of the window.

I nodded as I tried to blink back the little tears that threatened to stream down my eyes. I couldn’t understand why I was crying, or what I was feeling at that very moment, but I knew that I felt at peace.

The car stopped, then honked for the gate to be opened. It took a few seconds, but the giant black gate was finally opened, and Roland drove us in, the truck trailing behind us.

I watched with excitement as we drove past the lovely flowers, and my favorite one, Marigold. I was so happy that I was going to see these flowers often now. The car came to a stop in the driveway, and we all came down from the car.

Darka, signaled for the truck to be packed where it was, and instantly we began to offload the truck. This took us about an hour to clear out everything, and we were finally done.

We bid the truck men and the driver goodbye as they drove out of the mansion. “Finally” I said, as I cleaned the swea

  • Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother    62: LUNCH

    ADRIANNA “Come have a seat love” I heard Ethan say as I descended the stairs, walking towards the dining. As I reached the bottom step, the savory aroma of roasted chicken and herbs filled the air, enveloping me like a warm hug. My mouth watered immediately, and my stomach protested with a louder rumble. Pregnancy had amplified my senses, and the scent of food was almost unbearable. I followed the irresistible fragrance to the dining room, where he stood by the table, a gentle smile on his face. His eyes sparkled as he watched me approach, and I felt my heart flutter. “Here” he said, as he pushed out a chair for me to sit on. I smiled my heart giddy with joy for this gentleman. “Thank you” I muttered as I sat down. I watched him walk over and took a seat opposite me. “I…i smell chicken” i said, my eyes lit with excitement. Ethan chucked, letting out a little laugh right after. “What’s funny?” I pouted as I held a light frown on my face, my arms crossed to look like I wa

    ADRIANNA THE NEXT DAY I cracked my eyes open as I heard a knock on the door. I squinted my eyes, as I tried to adjust to the morning light. I looked around me for my phone. It was on the nightstand. I stretched forward to take it, when I heard a knock again, confirming that someone was really at the door. Who could that be? “Coming!” I voiced, as I tried to sit up and stand up from the bed. I walked over to the door, held the doorknob, and opened it. Standing in front of me was a woman, who looked so young and beautiful. She looked to be about four years younger than me, that would be twenty. She held a tray in her hand, and in that tray contained different foods. “Good morning Mrs. Greene” she said, as she slightly bowed, giving me a smile. Mrs. Greene? It was then I took notice of her dressing. She wore a beautiful gown that had white stripes at the neck area and at the bottom of her dress. This looked to be a maid’s dress and it was quite different from the one I saw the

    ADRIANNA “Welcome Anna” I cleaned her tears with the back of my palm. I held her palm in my hand, as I urged her to stand up and come sit close to me on the bed.“Isn’t that disrespectful? I mean i am your maid” she shook her head, as she tried to understand what was going on.I let out a little laugh. “Come on Anna, for now, you are not my maid, you are my friend, a lovely friend that I just met a few minutes ago,” I said, with a smile.“Now come sit” I added, and after hesitating for a while, she finally sat down. I took my hand forward, and leaned towards her, properly cleaning her face smeared with tears. “It’s okay to feel sad sometimes, but don’t let it get to you, okay?”“I know your parents would be so happy wherever they are. They would be so happy that you never gave up” i said, as I held her hands, giving it a gentle rub.“They would be so proud of little Anna,” I added, with a wide smile on my face.I couldn’t understand what I was feeling at that very moment, but I felt

    ETHANI watched as she stood there with a smile on her face. I knew she was really happy to see me. I parked the car, and turned off the engine, stepping down and walking over to where she stood.“Hi Wife” I called her. She blushed, as she looked up at me.“S…stop that. You know how that makes me feel” she said, her cheeks crimson red.“I know, that’s why I do it,” I replied to her with a wide smile. I moved closer to her, giving her a hug, and a light kiss on her forehead.I released her from the hug, and took her hand in mine.“I see you have met the new maid”“Your personal maid”“Anna is it?” I turned to the lady standing beside her, trying to remember her name.She slightly bowed.“Yes Mr. Greene. I’m Anna, Mrs. Greene’s personal maid” she replied.I nodded with a smile and turned back to Adrianna.“You like her?” I whispered to her, as I saw that Anna was still bowing down.“Ethan, don’t do that, she is right here!” She said, as she used her soft, delicate hand to hit my shoul

    ADRIANNA ONE WEEK LATERIt's been about a week since I moved in to live with Ethan, and it has been lovely ever since. I had received nothing but love from both Ethan, and Anna. I felt like I was at home every single day.The garden was my favorite place now. The flowers and bench, my comforting place.****I pulled the gown down below my knees as I checked myself in the mirror. My hands instinctively went to my belly. Today makes it a week since I last saw Dr. Smith. I had an appointment with her, an ultrasound to check how the baby was doing.To be very honest, I was definitely scared.What if something was wrong? I hadn’t felt the baby kick or anything, and it’s been like four months already.I had read one of the books that Dr. Smith gave me, ‘what to expect when you’re expecting’ and it said, a baby should start to kick at around sixteen weeks to twenty weeks.“Oh no” I let out a whisper, as I thought about it. What if something was really wrong?I looked around in panic, and p

    ADRIANNADr. Smith walked up to me with a smile on my face.“So, how have you been Adrianna?” she asked.“Fine,” I replied with sweaty palms.“You seem scared, is everything alright?” She asked.Damn yea, i’m scared.I shook my head immediately. “Scared? Me? No! Never” i said, my eyes moving to the left and right, anywhere away from Dr. Smith’s eyes.She let out a giggle, before she leaned closer to me. “Adrianna, you don’t have to pretend. It is normal for first time mothers to be scared” she said, reassuring me.I let out a deep breath. “I__I don’t know, this all just seems so rushed and new to me” I said, my head bowed down, looking at my fingers.“It’s okay Adrianna, no need to be scared” she held my chin, raising it up, so that i could look at her.I nodded, my nerves now a little bit calm.“Alright let’s go to the room” she said, and i stood up, and followed behind her.***A door came into view, painted white. Dr. Smith held the doorknob, and pushed it open, leading us inside.

    ADRIANNA“Raymond?” I said.“Yes Adrianna, it’s Raymond” “Why are you calling me? What do you want?” I asked almost immediately, remembering the pain I had to go through the last time I saw him.The other side of the phone went silent for a few seconds, before he finally said something.“Calm down Adrianna, I didn't call you to cause a fight” he said, and my heart dropped in relief.“Then?” I said.Raymond coughed before he finally talked.“I’m ready to sign the divorce papers” I heard him say, and my body immediately went stiff.On one hand I was very happy and excited, but on the other, I was scared, because what if he was just joking with me?“Wait what?” I asked, my eyes wide open in shock.“Are you joking Raymond?” I added.He let out a laugh. “No, i am not” “You can come get the divorce papers when you are ready” he said, but i didn’t even really hear the last words, as i immediately ended the call, and collapsed on one of the chairs.“Finally, i would be able to cut ties with

    ADRIANNATHE NEXT DAY I let out a loud yawn as I stretched on my bed. I sat up at the edge of my bed, and slowly stood up not to lose my balance.I had to go see Raymond today. I closed my eyes, and let out a little yawn. I felt really tired and weak, but I knew I had to do this.I quickly had my bath and dressed up as I didn’t want to waste much time. I wanted to get everything done as quickly as possible.I walked out of my room to go downstairs, when I saw Ethan coming out of his room, all dressed up for work.“Good morning” I greeted with a wide smile on my face.He walked closer and hugged me, planting a kiss on my forehead.“How was your night?” He asked, and I replied. “It was fine”“I’m going now” i said to him, and i could see a flash of sadness in his eyes, which immediately vanished.“I’ll be back soon” I added as I leaned in to kiss him.I moved away from him, and bid him goodbye.I walked out of the mansion, and stopped the nearest taxi I could find. I didn’t want Rolan

    ADRIANNA Dr. Smith cleaned up the ultrasound gel that remained on my body, wiping it off with wipes. I sat up and stepped down from the bed. “Thank you doctor” I thanked her as I got closer to her. She dropped what was in her hands and gave me a hug. “You’re welcome Adrianna, always”“Just remember to come for your checkups okay?” She said releasing me from her grip, and I nodded. I picked up my purse as Ethan stretched out his hand for me to hold. I took it, and followed behind him as he walked out of the doctor’s office.We bidded Dr. Smith a goodbye one last time, and with that we were on our way to the reception.“I can’t believe we are having a son” I said in excitement, almost leaping for joy.“Well I mean, I can believe it but it’s just…” I blurted and Ethan chuckled.When we got to the reception, i bidded the receptionist goodbye, and we were out of the hospital.I whispered into Ethan’s ears before we got closer to Roland and Darka, “so when would we be doing the gender r

    ADRIANNA THE NEXT DAYThe gold wristwatch fitted my wrist so perfectly. I stared at myself in the mirror, loving how I looked. I had on a pink sundress, that was free from my belly down to my knee. I wanted something comfy, and stress-free. I packed my hair in a half up half down style and picked up my purse, stepping out of my room.I walked down the stairs to meet Ethan already in the dining room. I walked closer to him, and planted a peck on his cheek. “Good morning” I muttered as I took a seat.“Morning!” He mumbled between his food.Anna came in, and served my food for me. A plate of steak, and mashed potatoes. The sight of it made my mouth water. “Thank you!” I uttered as I thanked Anna.It didn’t take long for me to devour the food that was right in front of me, as I was really hungry. It felt like I hadn't eaten in days, which wasn’t true. I literally ate a heavy plate of food in the middle of the night.“Slow down babe…” Ethan said laughing.I looked up at him, my face cont

    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?
