Contractually Yours Sweet Little Nothings
Adrien Russell"You will not work with that man." My voice boomed across the room. Crystal flinched at my tone and I clenched my eyes tightly to control my growing annoyance."I do not like him, Crystal. I don't like it when his name is mentioned, I don't like his presence, and I hate you being around him." I said through my gritted teeth. With a confused frown, Crystal stood up from the chair."Why would you say that? What is your issue with him anyway?" She sounded offended.Of course, she'd be. I just said that I dislike her 'friend'."I don't know, Crystal." I stood up and growled. "All I know is that I don't trust him with you. Not after what happened at the party.""Evan is nothing like what you think." Her voice rose up."How do you know that? I ran into him in one of my hotels today and--""I know what happened. He told me." She yelled loudly. "But that, Mr. Adrien Russell, does not give you the right to judge him." She stomped towards me with angry eyes."Let me remind you th
Contractually Yours Date to Remember
Crystal RussellI ran a hand over my curves through the clothes, scanning myself in the mirror. I wore a wine colour crop top with spaghetti straps and a sweetheart neckline along with a white pencil skirt."Crystal! Come On." I heard Adrien call from outside the room as I was wearing my accessories."I am coming." I yelled back and quickly wore my white sneakers before leaving the room. "I am ready." I called him."Finally." He turned around as his eyes fell on me, he scanned me from top to toe with his mouth parted. I suddenly felt a bit conscious by his reaction and awkwardly brushed my fingers through my hair while moving closer to where he was.I pleased my eyes with his insanely handsome looks. He wore a greyish t-shirt and pants, paired with a blue blazer and styled his hair perfectly, making his features stand out."Let's go then." He snapped out of his trance and started walking to the main door. I matched my pace with him and we seated ourselves in his car. For the first few
Contractually Yours Down the Memory Lane
Crystal Russell“Lily told me that Sophie had paid a visit.” Adrien said and I remembered about it. “Oh, Yes. I forgot to tell you.” He nodded then said again, “What had she come for?” He looked skeptical as he asked. “She apologized for being arrogant towards me at our wedding. And as we talked a little, we became pretty fond of each other. I like her.” I smiled widely. “That’s… good?” He turned to look in the front as he said. It was more like a question as he had doubts if was really good. “You both must have been really close friends. She knew a lot about you.” I told him. I hoped my envy wasn't evident in my voice. "Yes. Our mothers were good friends and we grew up with each other's company." He told me and I nodded. "All these years, you never noticed her growing feelings for you?" I asked out of curiosity. I knew Sophie had loved him and I wanted to know about his feelings too. "I never saw Sophie as anything but a friend. When she came out clear to me about her feelings
Contractually Yours What Feels Like Home
Crystal RussellI was at Hannah's place along with three other friends for a sleepover. I was excited after a very long time. We had fun all day, had pizza and ice creams for dinner and by midnight, we decided to watch a horror movie. After many arguments, we finally concluded that we would watch Annabelle. The lights of the room were turned off and the door was shut. The only source of light was the screen of the laptop playing the movie that fluctuated from bright to dim. The four of us were sunk in the bed under the warmth of the blanket. The movie went on with some scenes that made us flinch but we laughed it off while munching on the choco-chunks. I had always hated dolls. Even barbies. I had never played with them in my childhood either. So the only thing I actually hated or let's say scared me in the movie was obviously, Annabelle. Not her actions but her appearance. Soon, when the movie ended, for the millionth time I told my friends how much that doll disgusted me and
Contractually Yours A Pinch of Love
Crystal Russell'ADRIEN RUSSELL, CEO'I grinned largely at the picture that Adrien sent to me of his nameplate in the office. My chest swelled up with pride, looking at his achievement. His office was filled with large bouquets and cards that congratulated him.But I haven't congratulated him yet.He deserved better than a gif over text or mere call. I had something special in mind.He was so excited and happy in the morning, like a kid before a picnic. He voluntarily asked me to knot his tie for him and I was more than happy to do it.The first thing that I had known about Adrien is that he is a hopeless foodie. The taste of the food was like a switch to his mood. Food is the ultimate solution to anything that concerns Adrien Russell.I asked Lily about all of Adrien's favourite foods and upon her suggestions, I began cooking a couple of hours before Adrien's time of return. I had also invited his parents for dinner for him to celebrate with them but didn't inform them about my plan.
Contractually Yours Whatever You Want
Crystal Russell I sighed as I saw Hannah's name on the screen of my phone and answered it. "Hey." "Ijusttestedpositiveformypregnancy." She blabbered and I frowned. "Huh?" "Ijusttestedpositiveformypregnancy." "Sorry, come again?" "Bitch, I just tested positive for my pregnancy." She said loud and clear this time. "WHAT!?" I shrieked in happiness and heard Adrien wince. "Girl, have you gone deaf or what? I said I ju-" "I heard what you said, Dumbelina. You're about to be a mother! And I'll be the godmother of the baby.""Yess! I haven't told it to Ethan yet. I want to surprise him." "That's great. Best of luck. Tell me how he reacts." The wide grin on my face refused to fade away even after we hung up on the call. I looked beside me on the bed and saw Adrien already laid under the blanket, looking at me with a small smile. "Congratulations, godmother." I giggled when he said that. "Thank you." 0----------0"Good Bye, Aunt. And please come here often. It was so much fun to
Contractually Yours Tease Me Not
Adrien RussellThere were two main reasons I decided to accompany Crystal to the dinner. One- it was obvious that she wanted me to come and I didn't want to disappoint her and two- I wouldn't let them be together for Evan to hit on her in my absence. Otherwise Evan Sanders wasn't a person I would look forward to seeing. I know I should get over it because Crystal is about to start working with him, but whenever I can limit their interactions with my presence, I will do it. Call me a possessive husband. When we reached their house, we were warmly welcomed by Ethan and Hannah. We congratulated them and gave them flowers that we picked on our way. We all sat together and talked for a while with the couple and Hannah's little sister, Megan. It was all going well until Evan joined us. As soon as he came inside, the smile on Crystal's face was so bright that I almost rolled my eyes at it. My annoyance had reached another level when he hugged her and literally picked her off her feet. Be
Contractually Yours A Bright Beginning
Crystal Russell I took a deep breath to calm my nerves as I stood in front of the mirror, ready in my semi-formal blue outfit. It was a sky blue pair of crop top and shorts with a same colored blazer. Yes, it's my first day at work. I walked out of the closet to find Adrien dressed in his white shirt and navy blue pants, with a tie in hand and eyes darted at his phone. He probably heard my footsteps so he spoke to me. "Crys, please help me with the tie." When he looked up at me, his face flashed with surprise. "Wow. You.. look perfect for a new start." I smiled coyly at his compliment. Adrien had been very supportive when it came to my work. He kept his dislike towards Evan aside and was genuinely happy to see me so excited to work. The best thing was that he knew and understood that my excitement was because of my work and not because of Evan. I must say, I really love it when he acts possessively. But what's even better is, even though it doesn't matter in our relationship
