Adrian's POV
"Don't show me your face ever again."
"Was I so much of a horrible person back then that you hate me to the point of hurting me in the worst possible way one could ever hurt me?"
"I'll never forgive you for that. Never."
"It saved me from the additional heartache I would've had if I really loved you."
"I wish I had died that day with my parents."
"I regret the very day you came into my life."
I slammed the gla

Adrian's POV"F*ck! What do you mean he's dead? Are you sure?" Nate asked, looking alarmed.I read the text once again before nodding. "Yeah, this person is authentic. It seems that the bastard died of sudden cardiac arrest. As if he even had a heart to begin with." I scoffed."He got off easy despite his evil doings. But what does it mean now? If the sick murderer is dead, who is behind this then? Who is trying to frame Eves?" Nate asked the question that was burning in my mind."F*ck!"I threw the phone away once again in frustration, stepping on it until the screen broke to several pieces. I had no answer to his question. Just when I thought I had figured it all out, I foun

"Remember me, Evelyn White?"I looked shell shocked at the person standing in front of me. Never in millions of years would I have imagined he would be behind it all. My mouth opened and closed a several times but no words came out. My brain was still trying to process everything."What? The famous, the smart Evelyn White has no words now? 'Cat got your tongue?' would have been a phrase I'd use but you are too smart for that cliché, aren't you? So, surprised to see me?"I finally managed to get my voice back."Mike?"He smirked in response before bowing dramatically. "The one and only.""I

Whoever said handling a baby was difficult, hadn't made the adult version of the baby named Adrian Isaac Stone."He better drink this or I'm going to kill him with my bare hands." I mumbled to myself as I opened the door to the hospital room Adrian was staying on. He was sitting up on the bed while his brother Aaron sat beside him. It had been three days since he'd woken up and the man had been complaining continually about having to drink soup every day. Granted, it wasn't not an ideal thing anyone would want to live on but still, there was no need to be so fussy.That wasn't even half of it. He had been throwing tantrums about everything. The bed was creaky for him- which it wasn't because I'd been sleeping in the same bed, the colors of the walls weren't to his liking, the hospital TV was dull, his phone wasn't beeping muc

"I want to thank everyone present here for making this day successful. And I also thank everyone who made this possible. We wouldn't been here today if not for your aids in building this brand new branch ofEva'shere in Paris. I am honored to have such dedicated and smart people working with me to establish this brand here and I am very thankful for everyone. I want to announce with immense pride that all of these stunning designs from our summer collection were made by my extremely talented sister, Ms. Evangeline White." There were a series of claps as Eva shyly waved from where she was sitting.I continued. "There's another person I want to thank from the bottom of my heart for making this possible. My husband, Adrian Stone. You've been there with me throughout every step of the way, and more often than not, you've been there as the receiving end of my anger
Pride and Promises Prologue
“Come on now, Adrian. Stop sulking! We’re going to meet our new neighbors and it wouldn’t do you any good to be looking as if you swallowed a dog’s poop.” The ten year old boy scowled at his older sister in reply. “I’m not going anywhere,” he declared and slumped down on the couch, resuming his most common position since a week now.“Adrian Stone! I swear to God if you’re still not ready yet, I’ll keep you grounded until you’re eighteen! No video games and no cookies for you!” A shrill female voice rang throughout the living room. The voice was followed by footsteps and soon, the boy was receiving an intense glare from his mother as she looked at his state of undress. She opened her mouth again and the boy winced, bracing himself for the next round of scolding but he was saved by another set of footsteps coming their way. “What’re you scoldi

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Allie! Happy birthday to you! May God bless y-"Aaah!"I woke up with a jolt, banging my head with my table lamp in the process. Still disoriented, it took a minute for me to realize three things:One: I was still in my desk and had fallen asleep with my laptop open. It was showing little cute bubbles as screensaver while my neck was bent awkwardly towards my left shoulder. I winced in pain as I heard a distinct crack of my bones when I tried to move my neck.Two: It was already 12:04 am- the fact I surmised when I looked at my phone.Three: Well, I realized this at the same time I found out about my realization number two, but this was what made me running around my room, cursing mentally. The reason was: When I looked at my phone to check the time, I saw- or rather, heard- that my special alarm tune was still ringing and that made me realize that... shoot! It was Allie's birthd

If there was one thing I hated more than liars, cheaters, spiders, judgemental people, corrupts, and..., you know what? I think I hate a lot of things happening in this world. That was really sad. Maybe I was a certified hater.But then again I think anyone would hate the above mentioned things. Well... maybe not ifyou areone of the above mentioned things. Except that the third of theabove mentioned thingswas not possible because I'm fairly certain that you're not a spider since the last I'd heard, spiders couldn't read.But even then, there were already a lot of strange things going on around this world so I wouldn't find it weird if I got a text sayinghello there! I'm a spider. Just thought to let you know that I can read and write.Oh who was I kidding?!I'd throw my phone to God knows where and lock myself in a spider-proof place. Which reminds me, I needed to look for those things -not t
