ADRIANNA

“You are joking right?” I asked in shock.

I stood there, wondering if I even made the right decision by coming here.

“How dare you?” I could feel anger surge through my bones.

“You call me here to tell me all this trash?”

“For what reason?”

“What exactly gave you the right Raymond?” I asked as I stood akimbo. He had really got to be joking, because what exactly was all these?

He walked away from the door and tried to hold me, but I moved back instantly, disgusted by his filthy hands.

“Why in the world would you think I would want to get back with you after all you did to me? You betrayed me Raymond. I trusted you and you betrayed me like I was nothing to you” i screamed at him in pain.

“Don’t you remember? You freaking chased me out of our house and for what? My sister?”

“You have no right Raymond” I said as I shook my head. “No right whatsoever to spill out all the trash you just told me.”

He looked at me, his expression of sadness, but I knew that was all a lie. It was ju

    ADRIANNA“You’re welcome Adrianna” she said with a smile.“You’re always welcome” she added, as she stood up from her seat to give me a hug.I leaned in, enveloped by the warmth. It really felt so good.We chatted for a little while before I decided to go home. I bid her farewell and walked out of her office to the counter, where my purse and the papers were.I picked them up, and told my coworkers goodbye, and walked out of the coffee shop. I quickly stopped a taxi and hopped in, giving the driver my address.I needed to go home immediately, I was starving. I didn’t even eat breakfast before I left because I was very nervous. We got to the mansion after a while, and I paid the driver his money and came down.The giant gate opened after I rang the doorbell. I walked in and then straight into the entrance, not even looking around.Anna was already standing by the doorway. She walked closer to me and collected my purse and the papers from my hand.“Welcome Mrs. Greene” she said and I lo

    ADRIANNA “Adrianna?” I heard someone call my name.I tried to turn around to see who that was, but all I saw was darkness.Pitch black.“Hmm”“Hmm?”“Hmm” I tried to let out words, but only murmuring sounds came out.It wasn’t until I felt a little push, that my eyes slowly started to open. I blinked at the blur I saw out, and I was starting to see clearly.The corner of my eyes was locked on a figure, and when I slowly turned my head, Ethan was standing beside me, his two hands crossed to his chest.“Adrianna?” He asked, his face laced with worry.“Hmm?” I made a sound, as I tried to sit up.“Aw” I let out a painful sound, as I felt a sharp pain in my neck area.Ethan rushed to me, and held my shoulders, worry evident in his tone and face.“Are you okay?” He asked, as he gently helped me sit up.I nodded, trying to get myself.“I_i guess I slept off, I was really tired,” I said, as Ethan helped me stand up.“I ate a few minutes ago, and I was too tired to move,” I added as I pointe

    ADRIANNA THE NEXT DAYThe gentle knock on the door made my eyelids slowly flutter open.I tried to take in the background and everywhere, my eyes adjusted to the bright lights.The knock on the door came up again.“I’m coming” I muttered, as I stood up from the bed, and sat at the edge of the bed to get my balance before I moved.I yawned and stretched, before I stood up and walked towards the door. I held the doorknob, and turned the lock the other way to open it. With sleepy eyes, I slowly opened the door, and held my head out to see who was standing outside my door. My sleepy eyes immediately vanished, and were replaced with excitement, as I opened the door wider.“Ethan?” I said, as I took my hand to my eye, giving it a little scratch.“Good morning wife” he greeted me, excitement laced in his tone.“Good morning,” I replied.He walked into my room, and closed the door behind him, immediately enveloping me in a hug, his warmth soothing.He released me after a few seconds, and

    ADRIANNA I watched him walk out of my room, closing the door behind him.“I’m going on a date!” I let out a little scream in excitement as I turned around and ran to my bed. I jumped on it, careful to not land dangerously on my belly, and screamed into the pillow.“Oh I need to wear something very nice,” I said, as I sat up.“Like a dress,” I added.I stood up from my bed, and walked towards my wardrobe, but stopped.“I need to take a shower first” i said, and with that, i took off my clothes and walked into the bathroom.Not wanting to waste a lot of time, I quickly had my bath and came out shortly after. I dried my body with a towel, applied lotion, and walked to my wardrobe.“Hmm, okay what would I want to wear?” I said, as I searched through my tons of clothes. I also had to consider the fact that I was going to see the lawyer first, before eventually meeting Ethan. So, I had to wear something that was simple, but also unique and cute to go on a date with.I brought out a gown t

    ADRIANNA I walked out of Mr. Collins office, slamming the door behind me. I let out a deep breath.“Glad that’s settled” I muttered, and sighed in relief. I began to walk towards the exit of the building, while also bringing out my phone to give Raymond a call.“Hello?” I said, placing the phone to my ear.A voice from the other side replied. “Adrianna” he called, yawning.I guess he was still sleeping. I scoffed, what a fool.“Raymond,” I began.“I have submitted the papers to my lawyer, and we have been instructed to meet in court in four days”I didn’t wait to hear his reply before ending the call. I didn’t want to ruin my mood, I had a date to go to.My lips slowly curled up in a smile at that instant. I was going on a date with Ethan. The thought still excited me as much as it did in the morning.Remembering that Ethan had asked me to give him a call, I dialed his number and took the phone to my ear. “Mi Amor” he said, picking after the first ring. I blushed hard at what he cal

    ADRIANNA Ethan held my hand as we walked out of the building. Eyes were on us, but I couldn’t care one bit as all I cared about was his soft but firm hands that held me so tightly, like he never wanted to let me go.We walked to the parking lot, and Ethan brought out a key from his pocket, which I figured was a car key. He held it towards a car, and it made a beeping sound. Ethan walked me to the passenger’s door, and opened it for me, watching me as I entered before closing the door. He turned around and walked to the other side. He entered, and I muttered a thank you.“You’re welcome” he smiled and started the engine. He drove out of the parking lot, and we were on our way to whatever Ethan had in store for me. *****A large building came into view. It was painted in a cream color. A gigantic signboard was hung at the top of the building. It read ‘Dolce Italia’. I stared at it for a while, trying to figure out what it meant. The word Italia sounded like Italy, but I couldn’t fi

    ADRIANNA About twenty minutes passed. Ethan and i were all chatty and laughing, then the waiter walked in with a platter. Two other waiters followed behind him. He dropped the platter on the table, and the others followed to do the same, arranging them in order.I marveled at the dish before me. My eyes and mouth watered. It was then that i actually knew i was hungry, as i heard my stomach growl.“This looks delicious” i looked up at Ethan with eyes that spelled hunger.Ethan chuckled. “I’m glad” he nodded to the waiters and they bowed and turned around to leave.“Will it taste as delicious as it looks” i said to myself as the aroma of the delicacy in front of me traveled straight to my nose. I looked up at Ethan to catch him staring at me. My cheeks instantly became hot.“Wh_why are you staring?” I asked, blushing as I looked back down.“Hm, let’s just say I love to stare at my wife’s beautiful face,” he said, and I looked up to find him smirking.“Let’s eat” he added and right aft

    ETHAN“Oh my gosh! Ethan this is so cool” i watched Adrianna splash the water with her feet. Her golden features shine bright like the sun or even better.She looked so beautiful, with her hair falling in front of her face as she jumped around the ocean, excitement evident in her face and body movements. Never had I been with a woman as beautiful as her.She was breathtaking, and could pass as an angel.I was so happy and satisfied that I had brought her here. “Come on!” She waved at me to come over. I walked closer to her admiring the beauty that was my wife.I couldn’t wait to actually get married to her. I wanted her to be mine. All mine. I wanted her to walk around high and mighty while the was called the name Mrs. GreeneI wanted to be around her every single hour, minute, second.

    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?
