Adrian stood in shock, trying to understand the scene before him.Vanessa stood, fear clouding her beautiful sea-green eyes, the front of her dress opened and her round ample breasts held in a green bra bare to his gaze. She immediately covered up, tugging at the sides of her dress that gave out together, noticing where his gaze was fixated on. “A-Adrian!” She called out hesitatingly.Adrain just stood, he finally looked up to his brother, who stood behind Vanessa with a devious smile on his face, and then he sniffed his fingers and plopped them into his mouth, closing his eyes, almost like he was savoring the taste and then returned his gaze to Adrian's. “I-I can explain”, Vanessa began, but went silent when she saw the expression on Adrian's face change and then he launched at his brother, pushing her out of the way.Adrian dragged Andrew by the collar and started delivering punches. He was blinded by rage and could see nothing else but red.Vanessa raced to try and separate the
The stranger walked into the home, after inputting the code passed on to him through a message by the one who employed his services.He steadily made his way upstairs adjusting the gloves on his hands and reaching into his backpack for the equipments he needed.Once upstairs, he headed for the room at the end of the hallway as instructed in the message. He opened the door and was met with a strong feminine scent of apples and lavender.And then he got to work, setting up the mini cameras on the four corners of the room as well as the hallways.Making sure that he camouflaged the cameras to the colour of the wall it was placed on.The mini cameras were very expensive and rare, due to the fact that it was transparent and very small and can go unnoticed for a very long time. How his employer laid his hands on them, he couldn't tell.**The lady who came home with Adrain, woke up from a nap, she had carried herself to the guestroom after the encounter with Adrian, where he tried to smot
Vanessa dragged the sack of onions from the storage into the kitchen of her father's restaurant where she worked as a chef. Finally arriving at her station, after avoiding like a hundred other co-workers along the way, she poured them onto the counter and started selecting the good from the bad, silently humming to herself.“Vanessa!” someone called out to her, it was her sister“where have you been, dad has been looking all over for you… he seemed worried “ her younger sister Sarah said once she was within hearing distance.She quickly rinsed her hands and wiped them against the apron she was wearing before heading for her dad's office at the back of the restaurant.Once at the door, she entered without knocking first and caught her father wiping frantically at his face.“Dad?” She called out, unsure of what was happening.He looked up and gave her a small smile, his eyes bloodshot with traces of tears around them.“Where you crying?” She asked“No, no, not at all” he replied clearin
Vanessa paced up and down her mother's hospital room going through what transpired in the restaurant the day before.The man, she later got to find out was Adrian Knight wants to marry her.That's just absurd, right?It must be a jokeA prank perhaps Whatever, she was here to take care of her ailing mother and not let the words of a sociopath disturb her, a handsome sociopath with his beautiful grey eyes and luscious lips“No” she snapped,shaking her head to dismiss such thoughts away.“Vanny!” she heard her name being called out and turned to see her father rushing towards her.He enveloped her in a hug and they stayed like that for a minute.She really needed it.“I didn't find you when I got home, I was scared that something had happened “ her father said looking her through “I came here straight from the restaurant… I wanted to spend the night with mom, it was just all too much for me” vee said, looking over at her mother, machines of all kinds plugged into her.Her mother was s
Vanessa sat beside Adrian as the driver took them to a destination she knew nothing about.He had someone pick her up, earlier in the afternoon to a hotel, which she later found out belongs to him. One of the hotels belonging to the Knight co.She got to the hotel and was directed to a roomThere were different dinner gowns arranged on the bed, as well as a stylist, a masseuse and a make up artist waiting for her arrival.As soon as she arrived, they began priming and triming, her hair was done, so was her make-up, she was plucked, primed and dressed until she was ready.And here she sat with Adrian, her heart in her mouth.He didn't even spare her a look when she got to the car and it has been pure silence through out the ride.Her fingers were wrapped tightly together as she could feel them trembling.Her stomach was in a knot.Where was he taking her to?“Now listen, this event is a formal one as it is my father's birthday party and there are going to be dignitaries in attendance,
Vanessa stood before the large mirror in her hotel room as the stylist fitted her wedding dress.She couldn't still believe that it was her wedding day.The wedding was planned in 3 days.It all seemed too rushed.But on the bright side, her mother was moved to a different hospital and will be flown out of the country as soon as the wedding was over.The weddingIt still didn't seat well with her.She was getting married to Adrain Knight, billionaire heir, the notorious playboy and narcissistic sociopath.He was one of the richest and most eligible bachelors in the country and now the blogs are calling her “the gold digger of the century” for snatching him off the market regardless of the fact that she is way below his league. The hate on her on social media was so strong, her phone has been left off for days now. Here she was getting married to a sociopath and a menace to the society and she was the one being hated on.“OMG, you look so beautiful sis!” Her sister screamed bringing
The ride home was silent, they sat beside each other without saying a word.Vanessa wondered who the woman was and what she meant by she once carried his child.Was she his former lover?Did he promise her marriage?Did she loose the baby?She had so many questions but she couldn't ask him any.He was visibly angry, his right leg vibrating, he kept clenching and unclenching his fist.His phone rang and he immediately picked the call.“Is it done?” He asked the person on the other end “Good” he said after a moment of silence before ending the call and placing his phone right back into his pocket.What has he done?Did he do something to the other woman?Is he going to do something to her?The driver announced their arrival, and he immediately left the car once it stopped.She came down after a few minutes of struggling to get her wedding gown through the door. She stood before a magnificent building. It was a duplex with monotonous colours, it stood high with beautiful wall to wall w
The silence that followed that question was intense.Vanessa's heart slumped to her stomach, she could feel her hands beging to tremble.“I am a friend of the bride, Vanessa!” the blonde lady finally said, running down the length of the stairs, she went over to Vanessa and interlaced her arms with Vanessa's, a broad smile appearing on her face.“Aren't we friends Vanessa?” She asked her, staring at her deeply the smile not leaving her face.Vanessa looked between her and her mother in law, before answering with a nod.How did the lie fall off her lips like that?“So why are you clad like that and in your married friend's house the day after the wedding?” Mrs knight asked, eyeing the two ladies standing before herVanessa looked as startled as she was, nervous even.She always looked like that.Nervous and unaware, like a little lost puppy.“I was helping her with a lot of wedding stuff and I crashed here for a few days, but I would be out of her hair immediately” the girl lied again,
