ADELINEMy heart raced at the sound of the front door clicking. All day I had been jittery, unsure if this was the right thing to do. I had been, the entire year but why did it suddenly, just when I was about to have my freedom feel as though I was making yet another mistake in my life?I walked over to the other side of my bed and grabbed the paper I had spent most of my day staring at or thinking about during chores.Enough now, Addie. Don't think too much. I tried to tell myself.I took the papers and left the room, only to meet Grayson on his way up the stairs to his own room. He walked past me without so much as a glance, once again ignoring my presence.And each time he did so, it hurt."Grayson..." I called after him and only then did he stop. He turned to face me, his expression still ice cold as the day I first met him. I don't think he has ever looked at me any other way. I thought to myself. "Can we talk?" I asked, gripping the papers in my hands tightly against my chest. I

GRAYSONShe can't leave. She can't just up and leave like 5 years were nothing. And the audacity of her to file for a divorce.The house was quiet, awfully so. I mean it always was but knowing she had moved out brought another silence that was new to the house.And there was Johnny asking for Addie, his mother. How was I supposed to tell him that she was gone? How could she be so cruel to leave just like that?I couldn't take care of a 5 year old alone. I didn't know what I would be required to do.I stared at the boy's teary eyes and back at the divorce papers. This cannot hold at all.She has to come back. I'll make her if I have to.I glanced over the counter to find something he could eat. There was none. It was safe to say Adeline left the house without thinking about anyone but herself. Not even little Johnny.“How about we do pizza tonight, just me and you?” I tried to smile as I spoke to him, softly as I could but he frowned, tears falling from his eyes. Even I could feel the

ADELINEI didn't think I could do it. But I did.“Addie?” Jay whispered at the sight of me. And before I could respond, I was engulfed in a hug. The tears I had trained a few minutes ago from falling came streaming down my face. “What the hell, Addie? What happened to you?”It had been at least a year since I saw him and Kris. Where was she?When we pulled from the hug, Jay stared at me, his expression hard. “Just say the word and it's done.” Knowing Jay, he was serious. If I so much as told him I wanted Grayson dead - I wish I could - Jay would kill him without thinking.“Can we go inside first? I'm exhausted and it's freezing.” I asked and he nodded, grabbing my suitcase and leading me into the house.“Kris, guess who's here…” Jay yelled from behind me for his sister whose clumsy ass yelled back but from a place of pain. Jay and I shared a look and ran in the direction her voice came from.There was Kris on the floor covered in tomato sauce, trying to stand but it apparently wasn't

GRAYSONI smiled at the file before me. It was Adeline’s. Damian had managed to get a whiff that she wanted to go back to school, law school to be precise and she happened to apply where he was a dean at. It's perfect. I smiled at the thought that crossed my mind. No, I wasn’t going to stop her from chasing her dreams. I was just going to show her that it was possible to be the woman she wanted to be and be mine at the same time.“Nice work. Keep her close, but away from any fucker that intends to befriend her. I mean it Damian.” I barked into my phone, unsure why I felt the need to keep her. There was a new feeling growing in my chest that I didn’t like. I recognized it. But it was the same that got me in trouble enough to make a mess out of me in the first place.My man was to simply woo Adeline, get her to agree to stay married while I fund her little dream.“Done. Don’t fuck this up.” He snapped back at me before hanging up. I stared at my phone for a second before placing it down

ADELINE“Its’s either you’re beginning to go mad and hallucinating talking dishes with interesting things to say or you’re just going mad.”I spun on my heel, still stuck in my head. It was Kris and she had the most mocking smirk on.I forced a smile on my face at the sight of her, it was always unsettling how so alike she was to Jay, it was like I had been caught by Jay himself.I felt horrible hiding things from him, especially now that I was crashing at his place, but there was no point telling him. It wasn’t like he could suddenly give me back the five years of my life I had wasted at the Archer’s residence. He was probably going to start a fight he could not finish. It’s been a week since Grayson came to my school, since he reminded me what or rather who I was leaving behind.“You’re spacing out again.” Kris drawled, a worried look taking over the playful one.I shook my head, and hopefully the thought with it. “Sorry what was that?” I asked again.She raised a brow at me, “You g
