Aubrey

It has been a week since Everett left. We haven’t been in contact as much as we planned. We text every day, but talking on calls and video calls, not so much. Twice since he left. He is a lot busier than he thought he would be. I am trying to be patient because I understand it is business, but I am getting annoyed. We made a plan, one that is failing, even if it can’t be helped. I don’t want to seem like some needy girlfriend. I don’t want to scare him off, but it is on my mind and getti

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Seventy-Four

    EverettHugo and I are back at the apartment after a long day of work. We ordered in because we were in no mood to go out or cook, which works because it allows me to talk with him. Things have been hectic since his arrival, so he really hasn’t brought up Aubrey. We have pizza and beers, watching a football match on the TV.“Hugo, we need to talk,” I say, getting straight to the point.He mutes the TV and turns to me. “Yes, we do. I want the truth about you and Aubrey.”There is no point in prolonging it. “Aubrey and I are together. We have been for months.”His brows furrow and his face turns red. “I fucking knew it. What the hell were you thinking? I told you to stay away from her. She is vulnerable, Everett. She doesn’t need another man lying and hurting her. Can you not listen for once in your damn life? If you had any decency, you would end things before she ends up falling, because we both know you don’t do commitment or long-term relationships. You could have any woman you want

    AubreyI am nervous as I wait for Erica to return from dropping the kids off at school. I am going to tell her about Everett and me. He plans on telling Hugo tonight. Hugo left for London yesterday afternoon. Everett didn’t want to tell him the first day he arrived. I am more worried about them than me telling Erica. Hugo is going to act worse than Erica. My gut tells me so.I am sitting out in the yard with my morning coffee. Erica will be here soon. I am staying here for a little while since we haven’t found a new place for me, quite yet. I insisted I would be fine to return the other one, but of course, they never agreed. I sigh, taking a sip of my iced coffee and just as I do, I hear Erica calling out for me.“I am outside,” I call back.Erica appears at the door. “I was going to ask if you wanted a coffee, but I see you have one.” She laughs.“I do.”“Okay. I am going to make one, and then I will come out to join you.”I do some breathing exercises before she comes out to calm my

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Seventy-Two

    EverettThe last couple of days have been hell. I shouldn’t be in London! I should be home with Aubrey after everything that happened, but she told me to stay put. I wasn’t going to listen because I know she needs me, but my return will add to her stress because of Hugo and Erica not knowing. They would know there was something, but by what Aubrey said, Erica would be fine with it. We are still on the fence about Hugo. I don’t want to make things worse for Aubrey.My focus has been nearly nonexistent. My worry levels have been sky-high. Work is the last thing on my mind, but I am stuck here, and I hate it. I have been staying out of everyone’s way because I have been taking my mood out on them, and I don’t want to do that. I can do that, not with this being a new business. We can afford for everyone to quit. I only deal with them if I really need to.All I want is to jump on the next flight, and it is taking everything in me not to do that. Hugo will be here in a couple of days. I kno

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Seventy-One

    Aubrey I head downstairs after my call with Everett. It took a lot of convincing for him not to fly home. It would raise too many questions. Hugo is already suspicious enough after Everett demanded to talk to me. This is not how I want Hugo and Erica to find out about us. I stop at the bottom of the stairs as I hear them talking. “Something is going on, Erica. He was so determined to talk with her and make sure she was okay. I swear, he better not have made his move and succeeded. I love my brother, but he shouldn’t be with Aubrey. He is only going to hurt her. He is already seeing another woman. So, not only is he going to hurt Aubrey, he will hurt Addie too.” Hugo sighs. I am surprised he hasn’t put it all together and worked out that I am Addie. “Hugo, if something is going on between them, it is none of our business. We can’t tell them not to. They are adults. Would it be such a bad thing? You must notice the change in Everett. He is not the same person he was a few months ago

    Everett It is late when I arrive home from the office. I went to work after I dropped Aubrey off at the airport. I wasn’t going to, but I needed a distraction. I am looking forward to our phone call a little later. I sigh as I glance around, hating that I am alone here again. I much preferred it when Aubrey was here. I groan and toss my thighs down. I need to call Hugo. I always check in with him on a Monday to see how the week started off. He will be back here in no time. I pop the buttons of my coat open, loosen my tie and pour a scotch before settling on the sofa to call him. It rings a couple of times before he answers. “Hello, big brother.” “Hey, how are things? How was your day?” He sighs loudly on the other end. Something is wrong. “Not so good.” “Why, what happened? Is everything okay? Is Erica and the kids okay?” I panic.“We are all fine. It is Aubrey. When she came home from her trip, her apartment was wrecked; something had broken in and destroyed the place. We assum

  • Wrong Intentions   Chapter Sixty-Nine

    Aubrey I arrive home after a long flight, exhausted and sad. I wish I could have stayed longer, but I am glad I found the courage to tell him how I truly felt. I didn’t expect him to feel the same. Smiling at the thought, I go to unlock the door—and realize it’s already open. What the hell? I’m sure I locked it. I push it open. An eerie feeling overtakes me. My apartment is trashed. Everything is smashed. I freeze, fear gripping me. Who did this? What if they’re still here? Only Benji would do this—but how did he get in? How did no one hear it?I turn and sprint back out, scared in case Benji is still here. I dart downstairs and out into the street. My heart pounds in my chest, and my hands shake. I glance around, making sure he is around somewhere. Did he come to get me? And when he realised I wasn’t there, he got mad and took it out on the apartment. Either that or he has been watching me and knew I was away.With my shaky hand, I take my cell from my bag and call Erica.“Hey, swee

    EverettI am both nervous and excited as I wait at the airport for Aubrey to arrive. It was touch-and-go there for a while; she only decided two days ago that she was coming. A part of me truly thought she was going to cancel. I tried my hardest to do better, but when Hugo was here, it made it hard

    AubreyI am nervous as I drive up the long driveway that leads to Everett’s place. I have barely spoken to him. Once, while he was on his way home, but that has been it. I don’t know how tonight will go, how the conversation will go. I have no idea what mood he is in. He will still be stressed out.
