The CenterEvelina and Adrian walked back into the room and sat down beside Adrian’s mother’s bed. They listened to her stories, even when she got some of the details confused. Neither of them cared because they were simply happy to spend time with her.Once visitation time was over, Adrian took his wife’s hand, and together they walked out of the center. While they were in the parking lot, Adrian turned to look at his wife and smiled at her before leaning in and stealing a kiss from her. Evelina playfully slapped him on the chest, and Adrian pretended that it hurt.“What was that for?” he asked with a smile on his face.“Mr. Beaumont, you are too old to be stealing kisses,” Evelina told him in a playful tone.“Well, Mrs. Beaumont, you are my wife after all, and I believe I have every right to steal as many kisses as I want from you,” he playfully responded.The two of th
The CenterEvelina hated that she was spying on her husband, but she could no longer ignore the feeling that something was wrong. This time, she would not let him get away so easily. If he was truly cheating on her, Evelina was determined to find out who the woman was.Evelina quickly called a taxi and instructed the driver to follow Adrian. The taxi followed his vehicle to the other side of town, where Adrian eventually turned into the driveway of a large center.“Stop here,” Evelina told the taxi driver.The driver stopped at a safe distance from Adrian’s vehicle, and Evelina watched from the back seatof the taxias her husband stepped out of his car. To Evelina’s surprise, Adrian was carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers. He walked toward the entrance of the large center and disappeared inside.Evelina frownedas she wondered what her husband was doing at the centerThat thought alo
The next dayThe Beaumont Office BuildingLast night had been terrible for Adrian because not only had Evelina slammed her door in his face, but he had no choice but to sleep in his very own room, just like when the two of them had first met. The argument they had in the car had not meant anything big to him at first because he had only indirectly accused his wife of having an affair with Bonnie. However, he knew that his words had hurt her more than he had intended.Even now, as he sat in the boardroom listening to various employees present different Power Points explaining the upcoming project for his company, Adrian was still not interested. He hated himself because this was the kind of thing that, in the past, would have entertained him. Watching his company grow and making millions upon millions had always been enough to keep his mind occupied.But now that his wife was upset with him., he no longer found himself entertained by watching his company grow or looking at the figures
“It’s you,” Bonnie said as he realized that the person who had attacked him was none other than Adrian.Looking into Adrian’s eyes, Bonnie could see nothing but hatred. He tried to get up, but he immediately felt a sharp pain in his side and winced.“I don’t know who you think you are or what you are doing, but I’ll warn you only this one time, and that is to leave my wife. I will not repeat myself again,” Adrian warned.Adrian expected Bonnie to back down, but to his surprise, Bonnie began laughing hysterically.“Your wife? Oh, please... we both know that woman is not happy with you. I see how you treat her badly, like she is nothing more than your accessory,” Bonnie fired back.For a moment, Adrian knew that Bonnie was right.As much as Adrian loved Evelina, he knew that he needed to be honest with himself, and that was to realize that he was not treating Evelina with the respect she de
Café OléEvelina had stayed at the café later than all the other employees, and luckily for her, Bonnie had offered to stay behind with her. He had even been kind enough to help serve the other employees and customers with the various beverages and pastries because the café had been extremely busy.After winning the award, everyone had come to know about her café, and everyone wanted to be part of the entire hype. She was glad that she had extra hands to help her, and now that everyone was gone, it was just the two of them in the café, cleaning up and getting ready for tomorrow’s service.Once the two of them had cleaned the final table, they looked at one another as they rested their hands on their hips, smiling at each other.“I see we make a great team,” Bonnie pointed out.“I agree. We make a great team,” Evelina said.She was tired, very tired, and sh
Evelina and Adrian’s HomeLuckily for them, the night had gone a little better after Evelina’s jab at Adrian. Many people congratulated her, and Adrian stood beside her as a couple, fooling even some of the best paparazzi journalists. But as soon as they arrived home, everything had gone cold between the two of them once again. There they were, treating each other like strangers rather than a married couple.Adrian watched as his wife removed her shoes and began walking up the steps, leaving him behind. Once she was halfway up the steps, Adrian coughed, and she stopped with her back still facing him.He looked at Evelina and let out a loud sigh. It was obvious that the two of them were about to have a conversation that neither of them wanted to have, but it was much needed if they were going to save the illusions they had about their marriage.“Evelina, I am actually very proud of you for winning the award. You certainly deserve it,” Adrian finally said.After a few seconds, there was
