Pedro Hernandez

I gave Adrielle a week, as she asked. I haven't gotten close to her and we haven't even seen each other in the last few days. Abby hasn't been to my house either and I imagine it's because she's afraid of seeing me. My own daughter is afraid of me, that's unbelievable. My body goes rigid thinking that she's projecting her fears onto me. I can't imagine how someone could have traumatized her so much that she'd be so scared just by being alone with me. Leonard's name is still in m

  • 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

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 110 - Bruno's Disappearance

    Pedro Hernandez I put the phone back on the table and sigh heavily. This is strange. Bruno never disappears like this or loses signal. I pick up my phone again and dial my mother's number. I imagine she knows where he's gone, or maybe he's actually at home, busy with something. On the third ring, she answers, and I can hear her laughter and that of my aunts on the other end. "He's really a gentleman, Sofia," I hear Aunt Margarita's voice. "Yes, he is," my mother says, before focusing on our call. "Honey. I'm sorry, your aunts and I were talking. Is everything okay?" "I need you to answer this, Mom," I reply, massaging my face. "I'm trying to reach Bruno, can you tell me where he is?" She's silent for a few moments. "I don't know where he is, honey. Bruno went out yesterday afternoon and hasn't come back yet. He told me he was coming home but he hasn't arrived yet." My mother replies. I feel uneasy, a sense of foreboding. With what's been happening these past few days, I'm alway

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 109 - Answer the Phone, Hernandez

    Pedro Hernandez I watch the woman lying beside me, her head on my chest. Things outside don't seem to affect us at the moment. It's just the two of us, snuggled up against each other, a thin blanket covering us. Our house does seem quiet, but in a good way. I gently stroke her back. I've been wondering if I should tell her about my plans involving her. Adie knows I plan to marry her, but I should tell her about the foundation in Abby's honor. I didn't just say that to say I have an ace up my sleeve, an idea for a project that will never be implemented. This project will be implemented. And I'll be very happy if it can help people who come from troubled homes, from violent families. "Your heart is racing faster than usual, my love," she comments softly. "What are you thinking about?" Adie lifts her head so she can meet my eyes. For a moment, I forgot she can hear my heartbeat. But I don't want you to think there's anything wrong, I just want you to adjust my idea if you prefer. I ta

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 108 – Your Wish Is My Command

    Pedro HernandezMy entire body is on fire, wanting her as soon as possible, just as I know Adie wants me too. I leave light kisses on her neck, making sure I don't leave any marks. That's not what she wants. Her fingers find their way into the hair on the back of my neck and pull it vigorously. Her body is forcing closer contact with mine. I smile a little, seeing how desperate she is, just as I am.I undo my boxer briefs and slide myself back between her legs. They're open, giving me plenty of room to penetrate her. Her eyes stare at me with as much desire as I expected her to feel. I slide my hand down her body until I reach her intimate area and caress her, making sure she's lubricated enough not to hurt her.I'm going to fuck her. Gently.My fingers feel the liquid soaking her intimate area, and I return to caressing her clit with light movements. I don't insert a finger into her entrance. My cock will do it. And it's throbbing, wanting to be inside her as soon as possible. It's u

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 107 – As You Wish

    Adrielle HaleHis warm tongue runs along my collarbone, sending pleasant shivers down my spine. My entire body ignites for him, yearning for his touch even more. My fingers thread through his hair, and his strong arm wraps around my waist, forcing me to lie down on the soft sofa we're sitting on."We shouldn't do this here..." I whisper, my breathing as labored as my chest heaves. "We're going to get caught by Minnie.""It's our house, Adie. We can do whatever we want. They're being paid to do their thing, not to be so focused on us," he says, his mouth so close to my ear I can feel his lips moving.His hand touches my waist and shifts me on the sofa so he can fit between my legs. Pedro sucks on my earlobe while his left hand steadies his weight on me, and his right searches for an entrance to my blouse. Something he won't find, since I'm wearing a bodysuit. I can hear his dissatisfied grunt. I tug lightly on his hair as he trails kisses down my neck. His hand still tries to find a wa

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 106 - Have I Told You It's So Easy To Fall In Love With You Again?

    Adrielle Hale"Will our house always be this quiet?" I ask, not because I'm bothered by the silence, but because I find it strange.That's not exactly how I've lived these past few years. But I like the comfortable silence we have here. It carries no lurking tension or fear, just a calm, peaceful silence."Well, it'll only be noisy if we have more children," he says, so distractedly that I dare say he doesn't even worry about it.I'm not thinking about more children right now. And I'm not sure that's what Pedro really wants. Things are a whirlwind of emotions right now. If we had a baby now, it would be a lot to handle. Even though my pregnancy was calm, I was alone and made everyone around me stop their lives to help me. My father—who still worked at the construction company at the time—always found time to help. He and Jackson spent a few nights assembling Abby's bedroom furniture because they wanted to do it themselves.Pedro is here now, but we're dealing with a lot. I'd love to s

    Pedro HernandezI watch in silence as Adrielle wanders around the library. I imagine she is dealing with her own demons, perhaps thinking about how to start the subject we both need to talk about. Right now, I just want to set the record straight. I want to have the chance to get to know my daughte

That way, when she grows up, she’ll hate him for abandoning yo
