ADELINE

"Scarlett, you don't have to do this." I forced through the pain, my eyes blurred with the hot water work just trying to force its way through. I was close to begging her, but that meant accepting she was a sane person, what were the chances she would listen to me anyway.

"Oh, but I do. I gave you a chance to get the hell out of our lives, gave you a warning too, and still you insisted on hanging around." She fumed, toying with the whip like it was her new buddy.

"I couldn't. I'm pregnant for him, my child need a father."

"Well isn't that just perfect. Guess I'm doing both of us a favour then." She smiled wide, but it was anything but kind.

"Scarlett..." The leather slapped against my skin angrily, hard and worse than the last one. "Scarlett please!" My voice broke in agony, grating against my own ears, but if she cared, she did the opposite of what a sane person would.

Lash after lash, she kept going, cackling like a witch. Each swing of her whip was worse than the last, almo

    GRAYSONThe divorce, her marriage to the actor, all of that meant nothing now. It wouldn't matter in the end if I was even remotely right about why she was having so many beauty appointments with Jaspar.I dialed Adeline's number again, I'd lost count the number of times I'd called by now, but I couldn't bring myself to stop. It was unlike her not to be with her phone. She wasn't the most social person or one for the media, but she did enjoy texting and calls and just being reachable in general.For the umpteenth time, the line dropped after five rings. My gut twisted over itself. I tried to convince myself that I was overreacting, that she was fine and probably just busy today, but the nagging feeling in my gut refused to believe it, couldn't even stomach it because ignoring now only to find out I could have done something about it was worse.My fingers wound tight at the thought of losing her and for what, a mere show of my power?"Fuck!" I tossed the device on the passenger seat. F

    ADELINEUnstable. A wobbly mess. Those were the only ways I could think of to describe the vessel I was trapped in. My eyes were wide open but all I could see was pitch black, darkness surrounded me like a cloak.And that wasn't even the worse of it. Whatever they had tossed over my head smelled worse than dog shit mixed in rotten eggs with a side helping of a week old left overs that weren't stored properly. It made me want to puke my guts out all over myself.A jiggle and what sounded like a bump and I was sent flying forward. A pair of hands wrapped around my wrist, rough and uncaring if I bruised. Fingers thick like a man's and palm, the type of rough that told me he must have undergone years of hard labour. Before I could complain about being handled like an animal, I was shoved back with so much force, the air was knocked right out of my lungs and brain.I didn't get another chance to be thrown forward again either. Whoever they were, they tied my already bound hands even tighte

    GRAYSON"You're such a goner!" Damian didn't hold back, laughed his ass off like the idiot he was at my expense."It's not even funny. I was having the best time of my life and boom, Scarlett had to ruin in and for what? Icecream for Johnny." I scoffed. Scarlett needed to leave that house and fast, she'd overstepped. She never listens, assumes everyone should bow at her feet like the queen she claimed to be, even when she had absolutely nothing to offer."Well, you have to admit, it's a little funny." His shoulders shook with laughter, at my expense."Fuck off." I eased into the plush couches in his living room. Soccer highlights played in the background but I couldn't focus on that. With both legs over the arm of the couch and spread comfortably on its soft offering, I twirled the glass of white wine. The liquid swirled from side to side in an almost turbulent fashion, exactly how my life had become, but not for long.My private investigator had texted me saying he had something for

    ADELINEIt was like getting a moment breather after long minutes in the water. Kris and Jay would always be home, anchors no matter how chaotic my life got. Kris dreamed bigger, but Jay always had one dream, to live a simple life no matter how rich he got. Maybe I should have listened to him because whatever I was doing sure as hell wasn’t working in anyway for my peace of mind.“Adeline!” Kris’s excitement broke through my area of despair and concern. Rich family problems can wait till later!She bundled me into the tightest hug I’ve received in a while, there wasn’t even enough air to tell her she was actually going to kill me if she didn’t let up.I tapped her shoulders in panic because my lungs were starting to close in and remind me that I was infact only but a feeble human at its mercy.“Well, you said you’d be back in no time, it’s your fault for making us miss you so much!” She whined already yanking my wrist towards the house like I was some child.“Can we stay out for a bit?

    ADELINE“Who do you think you are, bitch?!” We’d barely made it more than three steps from Grayson’s room before her mask fell right off like a stack of poorly arranged cards. She shoved me to the wall before I could think of reacting any other way. My back crashed against the hard surface with a worrying crunch. Pain shot from my right shoulder and spread like a virus down the length of my arm.It’s always when you decide to change your spots that the universe decides to test you. Breathing was a chore, patience was impossible. I forced what little air agreed peace was the route to go, and the next time I faced her, the annoyance on her face ease some, shock coated her face for a second before she shoved it out barely a second later.“I’m Adeline.” The words were like metal on metal, unbearable to my ears, but the last thing I wanted was to start a war with Scarlett, especially with how she crazed out last time. I happen to like my face very much.I pushed off the wall, ignoring the
