ADELINE

“But why is his eye like that?” I couldn’t tell myself. He’d stared at me all day like I was some mystical creature with two heads and four arms. The ‘he’ in question here was my new Business Law teacher. A balding man who honestly should give up with the wig; we could all see it didn't blend with the rest of his head, but I wouldn’t be the one to dig myself a hole on my second day.

Lorriel laughed so loud I wanted to hide my head. We were in the hallway, students tropes in and out of classes, some headed for the cafeteria, some planning their escape off campus for better food, but all in all, if anyone was watching, they’d think we were a bunch of psychopaths or worse, joker mentees.

“Now I understand why you’re always so quiet, you’re not nice.” She chuckled, “I like it. Everyone pretends to be these days.” She sighed like she found out some new specie of bears were about to go extinct. Different people, different priorities I guess.

I shrugged, “I’m only saying, it was real

    ADELINE“Or I have no other choice but to put that face to some actual use.” I snapped. Calming myself was a chore, but I managed it eventually. “I mean, some of that shine would make the counter sparkle again, don’t you think?” I tapped my index finger against my jaw like I was deep in thought as I checked all corners of her face. Clicking my fingers in a quick snap, I gasped, “Oh that’s true, you don’t even do that, do you?”The bitch glared back at me, I could see the fumes practically coming out her ears, still I couldn’t even take her seriously, not with how her entire fingers were coated in chocolate that once belonged to a kid. Talk about stealing candy from a baby.“Try it and I would have Grayson kick you out of our home!” She fired, her voice more of a whine than whatever she was actually going for, it was torture to my ears. I would have just let it go if it meant not having to hear her speak again for the rest of my life.I scoffed at her empty threats. Maybe she knew, may

    ADELINEThe house was finally at peace again, a rarity since Scarlett stepped foot into it. It’s been less than a week, yet she had hired two brainless lankies who followed her around. I could almost hear her shrill despite her absence. Pretty sure she’d gone shopping yet again, her favourite past time and my new favourite time because I could finally breathe and not have my hearing threatened.Since her little outburst, she hadn’t dared to enter my room, but her voice was loud enough, and I could almost swear she intentionally stomped her feet whenever she was crossing the hallway just to irk me.The maid Grayson hired, Tracy, was on grocery run so I could get a break from the fussing she always did around me.I planned to enjoy my moment before she got back, I was going to even if it was just a few minutes. Shopping was her favourite thing and she made sure to do it atleast twice daily. I wasn’t sure what her plan was, but it was starting to look awfully like her plan was to max out

    GRAYSON“That’s so fucked up man.” The gold liquid sloshed all over the corners of the glass as Damian poured yet another glass of whiskey absentmindedly.“I know.” The sigh barely lifted the weight off my chest. I ran my hands through my hair for the umpteenth time, gripping the roots like I was actually trying to rip it all out, the same way I would love to rip Scarlett out of my house. Why now? Why after over five years did she pick the perfect moment to force herself back into my life?!“Shit, I’m so sorry man, if I knew sh-”“It wasn’t your fault, Damian, stop that.” I cut him off before he could go down that road. It was my fault. I should have been more careful, I shouldn’t have been so stupid as to make the call when she was just a few steps away. And above all, I sure as hell should not have lied about how I truly felt, the moment I couldn’t let her go, the moment I risked public capturing just to stop a date, I should have known she was more, she had always been more.Stupid

    ADELINE“Try me and find out!” She fumed, the veins in her neck popping.“Careful now, you’re going to ruin your botox.” I plastered a smile on my face, feigning shock when she glared at me for the umpteenth time, “Oh I’m sorry, do you wish you can still do?” I smiled even wider and pointed to how easily I could do so.“Bitch, be careful. You have no idea who you’re messing with. I can ruin your entire life with the snap of my finger.” She warned her gaze menacing. It almost gave me chills, almost being the key word because if we were being honest, she really couldn’t do shit without Grayson’s support and it sure wasn’t what it used to be anymore. Why else would be waste her time warning me off of him.“Same way you ruined yours?” She looked like she was just about ready to blow a fuse at any moment, but that didn’t stop me from tilting my head to the side and cocking a ‘what the actual fuck’ brow in her direction. “I’m not sure which is worse, the sudden false sense of responsibility

    ADELINESix months. That was all he asked for. It was a stupid idea. I shouldn’t even entertain it. None of the deal we had made in the past ever ended with my sanity intact or me getting what I wanted, so if I had half a brain still functioning, I shouldn’t even be entertaining his outrageous suggestion. What even was he going to do in six months that he hadn’t bothered with in over five years now.I should have rejected it the moment he had the audacity to even suggest I give him yet another chance, but what harm could it really do?Emm…have you forgotten the fetus growing in your belly?! Oh, right. I could just abort it and let him believe it was still there, but wouldn’t he know when my belly doesn’t protrude? Worst still, what if he actually succeeded in changing my mind? What then? Do I ruin it by telling him how I didn’t believe him, sent our child to heaven and lied to his face for six months? Nah.“Are you sure you don’t need anything else? Water? A quick snack perhaps?” Gray

    GRAYSONIt was straight up whiplash. She wanted a divorce?! And as if rhag wasn’t bad enough, she wanted to… abort the baby too, our baby?!Panic surged in my veins. I couldn’t let her leave, not anymore and especially not now that she was carrying my child, not now that she’d decided to save herself first.That odd feeling where you enjoy something too much, and it feels too good to be true, so you just know deep down that it would just be a matter of time before the fairytale came crashing down before, leaving you with no other option but to keep watching while everything that once gave you joy wore off. That feeling clung to me like a second skin. Usually it was my default, my radar was always on alert, ready to disappoint before they got the chance to rip at the pieces of my shredded heart.She was insisted too. I wanted to understand, to keep to my promise and always put her before me, but she repeated it over and over again, l AA’s actually speechless. I could wrap my head aroun
