I strode around the living room, constantly drawing and releasing my breath.I can't think straight right now because of what's going on.When I heard the sound of the door opening, I flinched."Honey," a woman's captivating voice said.I turned around and held my breath when I saw a very beautiful woman in her middle age wearing an expensive chiffon long dress and a middle-aged man who looked like the old version of Adrain, along with a girl who appeared to be my age, with grey eyes like Adrian and a face that resembled Adrian's, there is no doubt that she is his sister.I stared at them as I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.Adrian comes from his study, and his mother rushes up to him, hugging him and kissing his cheeks.His father then hugged him, followed by his sister."How are you doing, honey?" his mother said, tenderly touching his hair, but he frowns, as if irritated by them.Jerk, you are so fortunate to have such a wonderful family. Compare that to an orphan like mysel
After dinner, I went into his room, while mom, dad, and Skylar went to their guest rooms. They are an absolutely astounding family that anyone can only wish for.I believe Adrain is adopted; there is no way he could be their son; they are incredibly loving and caring, and here I am with this guy who abuses me like a shithead.I looked around and saw him sitting on the couch with his laptop on his lap, working, and I'm very sure he's adopted.My thoughts made me laugh."What's so funny," he said, his voice thick and husky."Umm... N.nothing," I stammered and dashed into the bathroom after clearing my throat.I put on my pajama pants and a plain top, but before I could fall asleep on the floor, I heard his voice."Sleep on the bed," he murmured, without looking at me as he scribbled on his laptop."Excuse me," I said, frowning at him.He stands up and walks towards me after turning off his laptop."I don't want to repeat myself," he added emphatically as he walked over to the bed and gr
It's fine, Mom; we don't have to do everything.While mom, Skylar, and I are headed to Adrian's aunt's party, Mrs. Voilet Locason, who is Adrian's father's sister, I murmured while tucking in my upper lip.Skylar placed her hand over my shoulder and whispered, "Trust me, Emberly, you will thank us later."I examined myself in the mirror; I am dressed in a pink off-shoulder prom gown with a deep cut that highlights my cleavage and a little cut from my lower thigh that accentuates my left thigh; mom and Skylar are also dressed elegantly in expensive gowns.We walked into a posh hotel where the party was being hosted.I observed a lot of people here, women trailing in their costly dresses, guys in suits, some even smoking, and waiters rushing about with appetizers and refreshers. It's like a typical family party, with kids running around and bumping into servers.Then, an attractive woman with long brown hair and dressed in a yellow extravagant gown approached us; I assumed she was Adri
I gasped as he pulled me closer to him as my chest pressed against his hard, stone-like chest and I could feel my legs trembling so badly from my rapid breathing. "Come with me, or I will take you right here, I don't care who will see us or peoples are present here," he growled in my ear while staring at my exposed cleavage. His hands clenched into fists as I felt my cheeks getting warm from his intense stare.I was about to exit my side door when he opened it after stopping his car in front of the mansion. However, he grabbed my arm and dragged me inside instead.I bit my lip and closed my eyes.I whimpered as I struggled to wrench my hand free of his firm hold, "Stop it, now, I come with you as you commanded me now stop dragging me."He immediately carried me over his shoulder, and I noticed his arousal from there as he ascended steps before I could comprehend anything.Just put me down. I punched him in the back with my clenched hand, but he didn't even budge, like he was made of s
I came out of the mansion and went towards the bus station. If I want, I can use that expensive, luxurious car.Adrain has but I remember when I was about to join his office, he warned me not to take anyone's help as he wanted to take revenge on me and wanted to torture me.I also don't understand why I made that promise to Mom. It's completely meaningless that I will change Adrian, because he will never in this whole life fall for me, and I think I am the last person expected on this earth to change him. I just don't know why Mom and Skylar think that I am the only one who can change him.I have no idea why he acts like that when he brings me to his mansion and he is missing me and touching every inch of my skin. I felt so good like I had never felt like this before. I felt safe and it feels like someone wants me to. I never felt like that when my uncle used to touch me in a bad way. I felt disgusted. But Adrian, when he was touching me, I felt like his touch was melting every inch o
I came to the mansion and I immediately went to the kitchen to get some water for myself, but before that, his voice made me freeze."Where have you been?" he asked while coming to the kitchen. I observed him. He was in his sweatpants but not wearing his shirt. He even has his protein shake, and sweat is glistening down from his perfectly chiselled chest. He must be in the gym."Just went to see my friend," I said while taking out a water bottle from the fridge."Your phone was also going to switch off.""Oh, yes, it's the battery that died," I said while drinking water from a bottle.I took a breather while drinking the water and gripped the bottle tightly.Did he begin to care for me?"I mean, mom and Skylar were concerned about you," he said, looking around but not into my eyes."I will take care of it next time," I said while biting my lip."Where are they?""They went for a dinner in the newly opened hotel.""Oh," I exclaimed.He went towards the couch in the living room, sat acr
I left the car once Jordan unlocked the door.The beautiful private jet in front of me had the words CAMPBELL EMPIRES inscribed across it.I approached it shakily. In my whole life, I have never felt this anxious.A man in his late twenties greeted me with "Good morning, Mrs. Campbell." He was dressed in a navy and blue tuxedo. I grinned at him since he was a pilot. "Me too,"I had never seen a private jet in my life, so when the air hostess escorted me aboard, the magnificent and mesmerizing decor stopped me in my tracks.The spacious living room and the main area of the flight are identical.With four distinct areas, three temperature zones, twelve different floor plans, and the capacity to carry up to 18 guests comfortably, the cabin is extravagant, to say the least. Even interiors from Versace are available!I turned to look around when I heard whistling compliments and had a glimpse of a private plane, but I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw him seated on one of the plush seat
I smirked and added, "Let's place a bet."He inquired, "What bet?"I clapped my hands and exclaimed, "Let's play a game, you and me."I placed the pizza and sandwiches in front of him and mumbled, "The game is."I shook my head, "Let's see who finishes it first; the one who eats first wins the game."He answered coldly, "I am not playing this silly game."I understand that you won't be able to defeat me in this game, so it's all right. This is impossible for you to accomplish. I was aware," I spoke firmly and loudly.He flung his phone aside while scowling. "Okay, let's get going."I grinned. He didn't even eat anything till now because he skipped breakfast this morning. I supposeI joined him in devouring the pizza slice as he did.He finally eats the entire meal with a sandwich, while I deliberately take my time eating my pizza.He replied, peering into my eyes, "See, there's nothing Adrain Campbell can't accomplish," and I chuckled.I drank my coffee and replied, "Yes, you are righ
