ADELINE

“What do you want?” I cut right to the chase the moment he stepped through the entrance of Anna’s pub and sat on the chair which looked a little too small for the sheer size of the man.

“Who said I want anything?” He smirked and leaned lazily on the chair. I would expect the size of the wooden chair would make him uncomfortable but once again he shocked me.

“We both know you do.” There was no point lying to myself that he suddenly had some magical change of heart. “I asked you once and you didn’t waste anytime shutting it down so why all of a sudden?” I crossed my arm over my chest and his eyes followed the tiny act. I released a slow breath and pinned him with the best glare I could muster.

“What? I can’t decide to have mercy on you and once again be the hero?” Once again? When was he ever th- he couldn’t possibly be referring to.

“You were an opportunist, not a hero.” I gritted my teeth together to stop myself from biting the arrogant son of a… female dog.

“Potato-potatoe.”

    ADELINEI stared at the cabinet right across from the bed like it was the enemy, like any moment it could spring open and a knife would be flung my way. Every time I turned in it’s direction, it looked back like it was watching me, just waiting for the right moment to strike.My heart thumped angrily in my chest as I once again looked away, for what felt like the millionth time. Sooner or later I would have to no choice but to grow a pair and just swallow my fear. Sooner or later I would have to yank that pregnancy test strip from the corner of that cabinet and give it a golden shower.Another strong wave of nausea hit me without warning. I grabbed the headboard like my life depended on it, heaved over to send whatever it was back down because I sure as hell wasn’t throwing up for the fifth time when it was barely noon!On the bright side, no one was home so if I did spray my guts all over the guest bedroom, I would atleast not die of embarrassment before whatever sickness was in my b

    ADELINEIt’s been two weeks, two weeks and still no word from Grayson .I mean I never expected him to flip the earth over for me, but still. It hurt. Maybe I was crazy or just delusional, but I at least expected him to try to explain himself. Is he even thinking about me? Or was I just the only one stressing my brain over nothing? I mean he already said it was nothing, why was I fussing over nothing.Ugh! I’ve been so stupid! So so fucking stupid.“Hey baby.” Kris’s head poked through the door, her hands tucked away from it. “You know you do eventually have to eat, right?” The worry was ever present everytime she spoke, but I couldn’t find the energy she needed to response.I shrugged and sunk deeper into the bed but said nothing. As always she let herself into the room like it was hers, technically it was.“I made your favourite!” She cooed, her face wide in a bright smile, I wish I could return it, but that meant too much feeling, reared up too much emotions I didn’t have the energ

    GRAYSON“Who’s this?” Her voice was harsh, nothing like the soft, almost whisper like tone she used with father.The urge to mess with her was strong and on a different day I might have, but not today.“Grayson Archer.” I went straight to the point. There was no need beating around the bush, not when I was about to ask for the last thing I ever thought I would. “Can we meet over lunch?”“How did you get my number?” She fired back, brushing off my question like I never even spoke.“Really? That’s the top on the list of questions?” I retorted.The line went silent for a while after that. She said nothing for a long minute and I thought she dropped the call out of annoyance, I mean I would have.“Fair point. What do you want?”“To have lunch with you.” I said without missing a breath.“Why?” She pushed.“Come to the cafe just by the Archer headquarters and I’d answer every question you have.” I said instead.The line went quiet but I could still hear shuffling like she was moving around

    ADELINE“Please tell me I’m hearing things.” Jay hissed, like actual snake-like, I would bite your head off kind of hiss. “Adeline.” He clipped when I clamped my mouth shut instead. His eyes were glazed over, not with desire like Mr Arch- ugh! No more. But Jay was pissed, his eyes were the size of saucers and they didn’t look happy in the slightest.“Jay cut it out. It’s not the time.” Kris rushed to my rescue and right on time too because I was few seconds from fainting.“What do you mean cut it out?” He sneered like she was his worst enemy and not his blood. “How could you let this happen?!” He whirled, his full fury back on me and this time, Kris made no moves to interrupt. She knew better than to do so. Jay never let himself get too mad, the last time he had been this mad was when he almost lost the bakery to a relative who he thought he was doing a favour by teaching him the ropes, but that was a story for another day.The crazy part was even then, when he was on the brick of los

    ADELINEI wanted to scream, shout, anything to get him as far away from my door as possible. This always happened. For some absurd reason, I always got my hopes up that we could be something more or it meant something more. Somewhere in my messed up brain, I even considered that that could have been the reason for all of this, the reason he always felt the need to mess with me was because somewhere in that stony wall he called a chest, his heart actually beats for me.Stupid. So fucking stupid! Jay and Kris had been right, I never learnt. I hadn’t learnt from the five wasted years and I sure as hell hadn’t learnt shit from how he got me into another contract.I slept with him, like I actually, without any substance influence had sex with him, my husband boss and it actually felt good, I actually felt powerful for the two seconds it had taken before he grabbed that little piece of joy and squeezed it to nothingness.After what was way too short a time compared to how long it’s going to

    GRAYSON“I really don’t know the next step for now, but I…” I trailed off. Why was I trailing off? It was the truth, it was nothing more than a good night, wasn’t it? Shit.I rubbed the spot between my eyes as the truth crashed down on me without warning. I wasn’t sure what it was, but last night had definitely been anything but nothing.“We’d talk later Damian, she’s still in the room.” I sighed, the tension in my shoulders worsened by the minute. Getting even was supposed to feel more…satisfying, but it didn’t. And it was so fucking annoying.“And that matters why?” He dragged and I could almost picture the cocky smirk on his face.But he was right. Why did that matter? That had been the plan all along. Get her to fall in love with me, get her pregnant and get her tied to me regardless of what Dahlia may or may not say to her.“The more time we spend together, the more possible it would be to get her pregnant, that won’t happen if she overhears this now would it?” I cocked a brow ev
