Chapter 4 – The Call

My heart stopped when I saw the name on the screen.

Damien.

I stared at it for a second, still half-asleep, body sore in places I hadn’t felt in a long time. The room was dark so i could barely see. Adrian’s arm was still heavy across my waist. His breathing was slow and even against my back.

The phone kept buzzing.

I sat up carefully, trying not to wake him, and answered in a low voice.

“Hello?”

“Where the fuck are you?” Damien’s voice was sharp. “It’s past midnight, Sophia. You don’t just disappear after what happened.”

I swallowed. My throat felt dry.

“I needed air,” I said quietly. “I went for a walk.”

“A walk? For hours?” He gave a cold laugh. “Don’t lie to me. Where are you right now?”

I opened my mouth to answer, but a warm hand slid up my stomach.

Adrian was already awake??

I froze.

His hand moved higher and cupped my breast. His thumb brushed over my nipple, slow and deliberate. I bit my lip hard to keep any sound from escaping.

“Sophia,” Damien said, voice tighter now. “I asked you a question. Where are you?”

“I… I’m still out,” I managed to speak. “I’ll be home soon.”

Adrian shifted behind me. I felt his mouth on the back of my neck, then lower. He pulled the sheet down and closed his lips around my nipple, sucking gently at first, then harder teasingly.

A soft sound almost left my throat. I pressed my free hand over my mouth.

“You’re breathing heavily,” Damien said. “What’s going on?”

“Nothing,” I whispered. “I’m just tired.”

Adrian’s hand slid down between my legs. I was still wet from earlier. His fingers found my clit and rubbed slow circles. My hips jerked before I could stop them.

“Sophia.” Damien’s voice dropped. “Answer me properly. Where the hell are you?”

I couldn’t speak. Adrian pushed two fingers inside me, curling them just right. My eyes fluttered shut. A quiet moan slipped out before I could catch it.

I quickly covered my mouth with my hand.

“Fuck.”

There was a short silence on the other end of the line.

“What was that?” Damien asked, voice suddenly sharp. “Are you with someone?”

Adrian sucked harder on my nipple and thrust his fingers deeper. The pleasure built fast. I gripped the phone so tight my hand hurt.

“No,” I forced out, voice shaking. “I….i…I’m alone.”

“You don’t sound alone.”

Adrian’s thumb pressed harder against my clit while his fingers moved in and out. My thighs started to tremble. I bit down on my own hand to stay quiet, but another soft moan still escaped.

“Sophia.” Damien’s voice was cold now. “Tell me where you are right now.”

I couldn’t answer. Adrian kept going, steady and relentless. The pressure in my stomach coiled tighter and tighter. My breathing turned uneven. I was so close I could barely think.

“I… I’ll be home soon,” I managed to whisper.

“That’s not an answer.”

Then Adrian sat up,then moved slowly to my pussy. He teased me,then slowly used his warm tongue, he curled his fingers and sucked hard at the same time. 

I’m right on the edge, trembling, trying desperately to stay quiet.  

“Come for me,” adrian murmurs, low enough that only I can hear. “Come on my fingers while you think about how much better this feels than anything your husband ever gave you.” The orgasm hit me without warning. My whole body locked up. A broken moan spilled out of my mouth before I could stop it.

There was dead silence on the phone for two full seconds.

Then Damien spoke, voice low and dangerous.

“Who the fuck is with you? Is someone fucking you??? Sophia,fucking answer me!!”

I couldn’t breathe. My body was still shaking. Slowly, he withdraws his fingers. I watch in horrified fascination as he brings them to his mouth and licks them clean, his eyes locked on mine the entire time.

“Delicious,” he says softly.

Then he kissed the side of my neck, completely calm, like he hadn’t just made me come while my husband was on the line.

“Sophia,” Damien said again, louder this time. “Answer me. Where are you, and who is there with you?”

My hands were trembling. I stared at the dark wall in front of me, phone pressed to my ear, heart slamming against my ribs.

Adrian’s mouth brushed my ear.

“Tell him,” he murmured, “Or I will.”

I closed my eyes.

My voice came out barely above a whisper.

“I’ll call you back.”

I ended the call before Damien could say another word.

The room went completely quiet.

My phone screen went dark.

Adrian’s arm wrapped around my waist from behind. He pulled me back against his chest. I could feel him hard against me again.

I sit there trembling, unable to move, unable to think, my mind completely blank except for one repeating thought:

What the hell just happened?

  • The best friend i trusted   Chapter 67 – Hospital

    The first thing I noticed was the smell.It didn’t smell like home.My head hurt. There was something on my arm tightening and loosening. For a few seconds I just lay there trying to catch up. Then it hit me. The photo. Damien. The way the floor moved. Adrian calling my name.My hand went to my stomach straight away.Still there.The relief was so strong I started crying before I could stop myself. Not soft pretty tears but the messy kind. My face screwed up and my chest jerked like I’d been holding my breath for hours.“Hey.”Adrian was in the chair beside the bed. He looked rough. Shirt wrinkled. Eyes tired. Like he’d been sitting there the whole time without really resting.“You’re in hospital,” he said. “You collapsed at the apartment.”My mouth was dry.“The baby?”“Tge baby is fine. They’re watching you. Doctor said it was stress, dehydration, and your blood pressure went too high. They want to keep you for observation.”I nodded and kept crying anyway. I hated crying in front o

  • The best friend i trusted   Chapter 66 – Too Much

    The second photo hit harder than the first.Same day.
Different angle.
Closer.My hand was on my stomach.I didn’t drop the phone. I just stood there with it in my hand like the screen had teeth. My first thought wasn’t even Damien. It was pure shame, hot and immediate, the kind that climbs your neck before you can stop it. Then anger came in right behind it. Then fear. All of it stacked so fast I couldn’t separate them cleanly.Adrian took the phone from me.He looked at the picture once and his jaw locked.“Brenda. Now.”I forwarded it. My fingers felt thick. Slow. Like they belonged to somebody else.“They’re not guessing anymore,” I said. “That photo looks like proof.”“It’s still a photo taken without consent,” he said. “That doesn’t give them rights.”“It gives them a story. And people care more about stories than rights.”I walked away from him because standing still made the panic worse. The living room felt smaller than usual. The windows too bright. My heart was beating in m

  • The best friend i trusted   Chapter 65 – Clear Enough

    The photo sat on my phone like it had weight.Me outside the clinic.
Adrian beside me.
Blurry, but not blurry enough.For a second I couldn’t breathe right. My ears felt hot. My hands went cold. All the noise in the shop faded and all I could hear was my own pulse.Adrian took the phone from me before I dropped it.He looked at the picture once and his whole face changed.“Send it to Brenda. Now.”I did. My fingers felt thick, like they didn’t belong to me.The shop girl was still staring.“Is that…?”“Don’t ask,” I said. It came out sharper than I meant. “Please just keep working.”She nodded fast and turned away.I walked to the back room because I needed walls around me. Adrian followed and shut the door halfway.“Talk to me,” he said.“What do you want me to say?” My voice cracked. “They’re not guessing anymore. They have a picture. Of me. At a clinic. With you.”“I know.”“Do you?” I looked up at him. “Because this is my body in that photo. My face. My shop already has people sid

  • The best friend i trusted   Chapter 64 – Public

    I kept reading the comment like maybe the words would change.Ask the owner why she’s been at private clinics with Adrian Vale.It was under an old photo of bags. On my business page. Just sitting there.Adrian had his phone out already.“I’m sending it to Brenda. Don’t reply yet.”“If I don’t say anything, people will think it’s true.”“If you say the wrong thing, it’s worse.”I got up and went to the kitchen. I didn’t even know what I wanted there. I just opened the fridge, closed it, and stood with my hand on the counter.“That’s my work page,” I said. “Not even my personal account. They’re putting this on my shop.”“I know.”“So we just leave it?”“No. We would definitely deal with it but we have to be careful.”I turned and looked at him.“Careful hasn’t done much for us so far since all these saga started.”He didn’t argue.By the time I checked again, somebody had liked the comment. Then a reply appeared under it.What clinic?My stomach dropped.“You see…It’s starting,” I sai

  • The best friend i trusted   Chapter 63 – At My Door

    Adrian was already on his feet before I could say anything else.“Pack your bag,” he said. “We’re going to the shop.”“Now?”“Yes. Someone just showed up asking if you’ve been sick. That’s maybe one of Damien’s men.”I grabbed my phone and jacket. My hands were not steady. In the car he called the person he was sending and told them to stay with the girl until we got there. Then he called Brenda and put the short version on speaker.“A man came to her shop after she left,” he said. “Asked about her work hours, if my people come around, and if she’s been sick a lot. Took photos of the front shop.”Brenda’s voice was sharp.“Did he leave a name?”“No.”“Any camera?”“We’ll check when we get there.”“Good. Don’t confront anyone yourselves if he comes back. Call the police if he returns and refuses to leave. And Sophia, this is important. Do not answer questions about your health to strangers. Not even ‘I’m fine.’”“I won’t,” I said.When we reached the shop, one of Adrian’s men was alrea

  • The best friend i trusted   Chapter 62 – Downstairs

    Adrian kept his hand near the intercom for a second after the front desk hung up.“He’s still there,” I said.“Yeah.”“What if he starts shouting?”“Then security deals with him. You’re not going down there.”I sat on the sofa and rubbed my hands on my knees. Knowing Damien was in the same building, even if it was only the lobby, made my stomach twist.Adrian sat next to me.“You alright?”“Not really.”“He doesn’t get up here. That’s what matters.”A few minutes later the intercom rang again.Adrian answered.“Mr. Vale, he’s asking to leave a message for Ms. Sophia. He says it’s important.”“No. If he has something to say, he sends it to her lawyer. That’s it.”“Understood.”The call ended.I leaned back.“He’s not going to just walk away.”“Maybe not. But he also doesn’t get what he wants because he showed up.”We waited. The apartment felt too quiet. I kept expecting another ring. When it came, the front desk sounded fed up.“Mr. Vale, security is with him now. He’s getting loud. D
