Semua Bab Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back: Bab 111 - Bab 120

♛AuroraAdrian had proven his words to me in so many different ways and showed me exactly how many rounds he had left in him till he had to step out of the room when we were something else but sex-starved.The grumble in my stomach was the final straw, and he chuckled before getting up from the bed, tugging on a loose pair of pants and a comfortable ash-colored shirt before reaching for his phone.I lay on my side and watched him do his thing around his room; he walked into the bathroom and came out less than a minute later, brushing his fingers through his now disheveled dark hair.“Let me get you something to eat,” he’d said, leaning down to press a kiss to my forehead before stepping out of the room, leaving me alone with nothing but my thoughts and the wild after-sex thrill still thrumming in my veins.I glanced up at the ceiling and released deep breaths before pressing my fingers into my eyes, which were shut close as I felt something else seep into my body and thrum its way dow

♛ Aurora: I could hear the loud pounding of my heart the moment Adrian ended the call and dropped the phone. Rubbing my sweaty palms, I released a deep breath, waiting for him to break the silence and tell me what Christian had said. They found Bonnie, but then where? Was she still in the country, and would we be able to get to her? We had to. By all means. If not for any reason, at least to know who she had been working for. At least to know the mastermind behind everything. Trish’s words had been pushed to the back of my mind. I wasn't sure why she wanted to keep me away from my phone or social media, but I already had a bad feeling about it. Nevertheless, that wasn't my worry at the moment; I could find out what it is later, after we get to Bonnie and I have the chance to speak with her. I wanted to know if she was connected to Marla also and the two of them had been spies in my company all along. When a minute passed and Adrian still hadn't said a word, I broke the silenc

♛Aurora:Adrian kept his arm around me as we stepped into the building. His thumb grazed against the pulse on my wrist, and he must have noticed the fear that made my shoulders stiffen because he let go of my wrist and instead wrapped his arms around my waist, settling his palm on the small of my back and brushing my back in a calm gesture.I swallowed the tight lump stuck to my throat, trying to adjust my sight to the dark building. My eyes moved around the place the more we walked in, and the sickly feeling in my stomach only got worse.I couldn’t see anything. Nothing at all, and my eyes didn’t adjust quickly to the dark room.All the lights were switched off, and there wasn’t a single window anywhere. The darkness was pressed down on everything, and the uneasiness I was feeling only grew deeper. The air smelled like dust, like the place hadn’t been used for a while.I still wasn’t sure why Christian had chosen to bring her this far to Yonkers, and that too in such a place, but si

♛Aurora:I turned back to Adrian at his voice, wondering whom he might have in mind.His gaze locked onto mine, and he didn't look away. I waited for him to say who he thought it might be, but he didn't immediately; instead, he glanced down at Bonnie before sparing Christian a side look.“Who?” I asked him.“You remember that developer I asked you about?”“Which—”“The one that submitted a proposal for the project months ago, which you rejected.”My brows creased into a frown, and my thoughts strayed back to weeks ago, the night Adrian had shown me proof that Bonnie was working for someone.I pressed my lips into a thin line. “Vincent Rein?” I asked.Adrian nodded.The name finally clicked, and I shook my head. “How does he connect to Shane? I…” I couldn't find the right words to express what I was feeling at that moment.It all didn't make sense. And I was trying hard to connect the dots. Reid Shane was simply doing this out of spite, and majorly because he didn't want the success o

♛Aurora:“What do you plan to do with her? Are you releasing her?” I asked Adrian on our way back home.He brushed a finger along the line of his jaw, looking lost in thought for a while, and I waited patiently for an answer from him, but instead of responding, he carefully turned my question back to me.“Well, should we?”I frowned at his attempt and pursed my lips. “I asked first.”He chuckled, eyes on the road and one hand on the wheel while his other hand was placed on my thigh.A moment passed before he finally said, “I've been thinking about it. I'm not sure it’s a good idea to let her go yet. Neither do I think you’d want us to have her holed up in that warehouse.”“So?” I waited for him to finish his words; my full attention was now on him.“So, I’ll tell Christian to take her somewhere.”“Somewhere like?” I pressed.“Somewhere she'll be safe, and somewhere he’ll be able to keep an eye on her.” He turned quiet for a couple of seconds before adding, “I do trust her words and d
