Adrielle Hale

“Did you know about this?” My question is direct.

Lyla doesn’t look away from me, but sighs deeply, giving me answers to my doubts.

“He arrived in Los Angeles this morning.”

Great, what great friends I have!

Even though I know he arrived in Los Angeles today, I was hoping Lyla would tell me something she knew. I feel like she knows something, something she’s not telling me. Her eyes reveal it.

“I know, but you should have told me.” I shake my head in denial.

“How do you know? And how could I tell you something?” Lyla asks, gesturing toward me. “It’s not something I have to tell you, that’s up to Pedro.”

We’re at the hospital. Sofia felt sick during the reading of the will and fainted in the arms of her stupid *ssh*l* of a son. I've been warning her about her high blood pressure for days, she can't get stressed or go through moments like this. Reading Max's will made her feel like this. I'm still trying to understand that he left almost half of his assets to Amanda and he

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 60 - Marks of the Past

    Pedro HernandezI can't take my eyes off Adrielle. I don't want to, and I can't. Although I've tried to hide it, I can clearly see a red mark on her neck, sending a terrifying chill down my spine. He hurt her, I know it! And I really want to find Leonard because then I can confront him, and I won't be able to control myself if I have to beat him up. But right now, it seems like Adrielle needs me here, by her side. Part of me knows I need to find out what he did, but the other part is afraid to question it and end up losing my temper over it.My heart is pounding, angry at seeing the harm Max has inflicted on her life. He did everything Amanda wanted, gave Leonard the chance to get close to Adrielle as if she were a prize he'd won. And the prize has become a punching bag on which he takes out his frustration. I don't know what drives him to this state, but I clearly remember Max saying that Leonard has been like this since he was very young. Psychopath. That's what he is.I wrap Adriel

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 59 - Truth Without Escape

    Adrielle Hale "Were you worried?" I'm fine, I just dropped my car off at the shop for a tune-up." Victor replies, leaning back against the couch and putting his arms behind his head. "I asked Pedro to drive me home." "Did you think it was safe to ask Pedro to drop you off after last night's incident?" Lyla asks, exasperated. "Have you lost your mind? He shouldn't even be walking around like that." "I have a security team with me. I wouldn't get your husband in trouble," Pedro replies, crossing his arms, as if Lyla were being overly cautious. I can't help but laugh. "I'm relieved by that, thank you," Lyla replies, placing her hand on her chest as if it truly did calm her down. "What were you talking about?" Victor asks, shifting his gaze between his wife and me. "Adrielle's face is red, is it some woman's business? Should I go outside?" Oh, Victor, how indiscreet! Lyla looks at me and then turns to Pedro, but doesn't say a word. I know exactly what she means. I feel a l

    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. I nod, agreeing. Pedro used to tell me his plans for our future, and they involved us both being married, with children, and a house overlooking the ocean. I've never forgotten that. "I don't like that Pedro continues to harbor this anger toward Max. I'm afraid it will consume him at some point." I reply, in a sincere tone. "He's just upset that he's not having the life he planned, that Max interfered," Lyla says, in a calmer tone. "Maybe he needs a psychologist too. Speaking of which, how did things go with Abby today?" The focus of our conversation seems to turn to my daughter, and the atmosphere is lighter now. I take a deep breath and wipe my face. I know it must still be red from c

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 57 - Hard Truths

    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 silence is the only thing that affects us at the moment. “Can you say something?” My tone is almost desperate; I can't stand this silence any longer. Lyla swallows hard and takes a deep breath. Her body leans toward me, as we're sitting on the couch, facing each other. “We've known each other for ten years, Adrielle.” it's the first thing she's said, and it still leaves me confused. “And while I have enough freedom to say some things without you rushing me, there's nothing to say that I haven't already said.” Her tone is calm, but I can't tell if she truly feels this way. “I've been warning you for almost two years about this marriage you've gotten yourself into. If you intend to conti

    Adrielle Hale “I don't want to talk right now.” he growls, before setting his shoes down beside the bed and standing up. “Leo, just let me explain this.” I ask, trying to ensure the atmosphere between us doesn't become too tense to breathe. “I already told you I don't want you near him. And you still insist on going to see him.” His tone seems hurt, but there's also anger. Leo raises his arm and points his index finger at my face. “Elle, can't you see he's causing problems? How did Pedro make you so blind? He's back to destroy our family!” Leonard's screams must echo through the house, muffled by the closed door. His footsteps are firm and heavy, heading toward me. I take steps back, but Leo is already standing in front of me, his presence firm and imposing. My back hits the bedroom door, and I have no way out of his way. I'm trapped between him and the door. His strong hand comes up to my neck, warm and clammy, and seems about to suffocate me, but there's something in his eyes th

  • My Ex-Girlfriend Is My Half-Brother's Wife   Chapter 55 - Abusive Marriage

    Adrielle Hale I notice Abby in the living room; she's watching a cartoon about whales on TV. Pedro is right, our daughter is madly in love with sea animals, just like me. The apple never falls far from the tree, does it? Minnie made Abby's favorite food today: Mexican burritos. Without the chili, of course. Sofia taught her to like them, and Abby loved the Mexican recipes. She said Pedro was also addicted to burritos as a child. "I love burritos." Abby can barely speak with her mouth full. "Honey, don't talk with your mouth full, please." I beg, as if I haven't done this a thousand times already. Abby doesn't seem to pay much attention to what I'm saying, just continues eating her burritos. I have a smile on my face, seeing that she seems happier today. I feel my phone vibrating somewhere on the gray linen sofa, but I can't place it. I grab some pillows to make sure I didn't leave it underneath and find it almost falling between the backrest and where I'm sitting. The screen light
