Adrielle Hale

The sun shines through the window, through the white curtains, and the light floods the room. I wait for her to wake up, but her eyes are still closed. I stroke her hair and still search for an explanation for what happened yesterday. Pedro's eyes seemed lost, as if he was also trying to understand what happened. There was confusion in his tone, but he seemed to be suffocated too. I think this also scared him, just like it did me. He didn't dare approach us when I touched my daugh

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 116 - Until the Door Opens

    Pedro Hernandez Adie and I arrived home at almost 1 a.m. We stopped at the hospital after leaving the morgue. Neither of us understands what really happened, but Romina isn't there. We haven't told my mother and Fernando about the bodies; if one of them is his daughter's, I know she'll find out at some point. I didn't want to prolong our conversation in the car; I don't know what goes through her head every time I lose my temper. I'm more afraid of being compared to Leonard than hurting her. I would never hurt her. Minnie and Abby aren't awake. The house is dark, and we can't see anyone when I turn on the lights. I leave my keys on the corner table and take off my coat. The rain outside is getting heavier, but not with thunder, just distant flashes. I imagine the media will talk about today's events tomorrow, about the bodies, about Barbara, about Adie and me. They're already talking about us; this will only make it even more of a topic. I know they must have recognized us both wh

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 115 - When Will This Stop?

    Pedro HernandezBrooks has just removed the bodies. We gave our statements to the police. The forensic team and two other police cars are here. They really are three women, but there's no identification. I wonder why they left the bodies in a cold room for so many years. They're well preserved, but clearly bruised. I imagine that's the cause of death, and the forensic team should have something to say about it."I told you two not to come," the blond-haired woman says, a hint of impatience in her voice."They wouldn't have found the bodies without our help," I reply, keeping my right arm around Adrielle.Brooks narrows her eyes, focused on us."I'll take the bodies for autopsy." she says seriously. "And get that woman's statement."I debate whether I should mention that Barbara and Helena are the same person, but I prefer to let her take care of her mistakes. My problems are already too big to get involved in hers. And I really hope things work out, but I won't forgive her for lying a

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 114 - The Warehouse of the Dead

    Adrielle Hale The security car is following us to Normandie Ave. That's good, so we won't be at risk. Pedro is driving silently. The streets are busy, but as we get closer to the location on the car's navigation system, traffic is gradually decreasing. I told Brooks we were heading to this location and sent her the address. I'm glad she gave me her phone number. She's a good cop. And she seems genuinely interested in bringing justice. Brooks told me not to go, but I can't change the stubborn man next to me. I just told her to come and that we're not going back. Calls are pouring into my phone right now, and messages are telling me how dangerous this is. "What's going on?" Pedro asks, his eyes focused on me for a second. "Brooks is telling me not to go, but how can I explain that the man sitting next to me is stubborn enough not to listen?" I ask, staring at him. I can see a small smile on his lips. "The stubborn man beside you told you not to come." His blue eyes focus on mine,

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 113 - The Last Clue

    Adrielle Hale Pedro is silent. He's probably thinking about what Sofia said. She knows. Sofia knew all along that her husband was cheating on her, and yet, her way of trying to smooth things over is still there. She's still trying to contain her son's looming anger toward his father. "How long have you known?" Pedro's voice comes out softly. Sofia sighs sadly, as if she wants to keep this secret a secret for longer. "When you were born, I suspected he was having an affair with someone at the company. Max was away a lot. More than necessary," she replies calmly, as if the pain of finding out hadn't affected her. "Twenty-two years later, you disappeared, Pedro. Leaving behind someone you loved, and Leonard tried to take your place. He became close to Max. I even overheard a phone conversation between them, where his father said Leonard was his son and that he should get treatment if he wanted to remain so." I knew something was wrong with him the moment Max hired him as a lawyer for

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 112 - What Do They Know?

    Adrielle Hale Bruno didn't need surgery. But I administered an anticoagulant into his vein. There are marks on his head, as if something had hit him hard. His vital signs are good, returning to normal. He's clean, wearing clean clothes, and has just been taken to a room. Andrew, the emergency room doctor, is escorting him to the room right now. Only one thing caught my attention about Bruno: there's writing in permanent ink on his arm. The phrase sent a terrifying shiver through my body. "Keep searching, and your daughter will end up like Miss Reyes." I remember seeing her name. She's Fernando's daughter. The girl Leonard killed. It's a threat to Pedro. But it also affects me. He's threatening my daughter. I know it's Leonard, but I don't know how he found Bruno. If I remember correctly, he was also looking for Bruno this morning. I head toward the waiting room, where I asked Pedro to wait. He's sitting with his hands on his head. I enter the room and close the door. It's just

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 111 - How Did I Not Realize Something Was Wrong?

    Pedro Hernandez The sound of the ambulance echoes in my mind. Even after it sped off the street. Abby is with Minnie, inside the house. She took her the moment she realized what was happening. I feel Adie's touch on my shoulder, bringing me back to reality. My chest tightens, the shortness of breath overtakes me, and I can't breathe properly. "Baby," I hear her voice in the background. "Pedro, we have to go to the hospital." I lean forward and place my hand on my side. I gasp for air, breathing in the fresh air of the trees on our sidewalk. I can't have a seizure now. Not with everything going on. I blink a few times, trying to reorganize my thoughts as I turn to Adie. "I think you'll have to drive…" I say, massaging my chest, feeling my heart clench so hard the pain is now physical. "Come on, Pedro," Adie says, touching my face as she guides me toward the car. I take a deep breath, but my chest still feels tight. I stagger toward the passenger side. Adie gets into the driver's

Gentler, sweeter, more affectionate. It seems like everything about her has improved over the years.I

    Adrielle Hale Lyla watches me silently. She's been like this since I got here, and I can't blame her. Her steady eyes scan me from head to toe, and I can't tell if she's noticed any marks I've tried to hide with makeup. I can see her leg moving up and down, but no words echo in the room, and the

    Adrielle Hale "Sofia told me that Pedro harbors an unparalleled anger toward Max for the things he did, but she believes it's because of everything he prevented Pedro from living. You and I both know very well that his plans involved marrying you." Lyla says, her expression more serious this time.
