GRAYSON

Celeste Scarlett Julian, the devil in the flesh herself. What the fuck is she doing here and how in the hell did she get here so fast and at the worst possible time too!

“Scarlett.” I clipped. I held her gaze. She had her usual half smirk on like she knew something you didn’t even though she never really ever did.

“Yes, hubby? Miss me.” She smiled wide, the corner of her lips strained with how much effort it must be taking her to show an emotion that wasn’t a frown. Her eyes wild and crazed as they drifted from myself to Adeline. Other than that, she looked good, really good even if it felt like I was stabbing my self in the gut just acknowledging it.

“Stop calling me that.” Adeline’s head snapped to mine finally. Doubt, confusion, irritation swirled in her eyes like the wind in an angry storm.

I shook my head as if she would magically develop the ability to read my mind. This meant nothing. My ex wife is just that, my ex wife, nothing more. The only connection between both of

    GRAYSON“Gray can you hold my hand, it’s really starting to hurt.” Scarlett whispered, but her arm was the least of my worries, the seat being stained with her blood, even more so.Adeline couldn’t even look at me without that…there was not the one word for it, but two things were certain. Hate and disgust.I messed up. Once again, I screwed her over and broke my promise. She would understand when I explain to her though, it was for our future, she had to understand.Her face flashed in my eyes like a nightmare my brain didn’t want me to forget. What if she wasn’t around long enough for me to explain? What if she gets fed up and leaves, with ever bit of joy I clung to like it was the only thing I needed to survive, with our baby. Just fuck my life.“We’re almost at the hospital, Dr Steve is already waiting on standby, you’d be fine.” I played with her hair, it had always been one of my favourite things to do, not just because I cared, but because her hair was insanely soft and gentle

    ADELINE“Oh my God, Adeline, are you insane?!” Scarlett wailed, the wounded sound like a banshee crying for her husband. Crimson red blood gushed from an ugly gash in her forearm.All she needed was a second, just that second was enough for her to grab the nearest piece of glass and before I could say anything or stop her, she sank in into her arm and like a freaking psychopath ran it down in a jagged mess without a sound. The sight of blood was unnerving but seeing how Grayson’s glare immediately softened was worse. I hated her. More than I have ever hated anyone.“Adeline, what the hell?” Grayson snapped. It took me too long to realize he wasn’t glaring at Scarlett for trying to kill me. No, my dear husband had her pulled tightly to his side while he cradled her like a porcelain doll, right in my face!The bitch even had the guts to smirk at me. One that said without words, “told you so.”I would admit that Scarlett’s arm was a mess, a long jagged cut extended from just below her in

    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
