Adrian From Secret Life Novels & Stories

It wasn’t exactly the truth, but for the sake of protecting Jack's interests and to gain Arden attention, she said so. “A moment please,” Adrian said and left to get the others. Amused at the whole drama playing out, Jack leaned back into the chair and took another sip of the cold soda drink beside him on a table. Some time later, Adrian appeared at the top of the stairs, immaculately dressed in black jeans and a matching bright red shirt. He looked like a superstar model out of fashion magazine. Behind him stood Arden and Carl. Helen walked some steps to him but he directed her away before taking his seat.

Kristen knew that she sounded like a child but she could not help herself, she was so scared. “Did you ask his brother?” Bea asked again and Kristen nodded before remembering that her friend couldn’t see her. “I did, he said that Adrian always disappeared. That did not make me feel any better. What if he had a secret girlfriend or something that he disappeared to see every time and now we are married and he is still seeing her or him?” Tears had begun to gather at her eyes. It was not the first time that day that the thought of Adrian being gay had crossed her mind. It seemed like the only reason he would hide in a cabin and that he didn’t hug or kiss the small woman. Maybe his father did no

“So… Mr. Adrian, you promised to tell me more about yourself. I only know you are rich and lonely. That’s not enough.” Adrian smiled faintly. “Alright. You want to know the truth? I live outside the city, in a large house. It’s beautiful, but it’s empty. I lost my parents some years ago. No brothers, no sisters. Just me.” Savannah’s lips parted. “I’m sorry… you must feel lonely.” “I do sometimes,” Adrian admitted. “That’s why I throw myself into work. It keeps me busy. But when I saw you, struggling yet still standing, something inside me shifted. I couldn’t look away.”

Adrian was busy with some files, he's so engrossed in it that he didn't notice his Wifey's presence. He raised his head subconsciously and flinched when he saw Irma looking at him. "You're here?"Adrian stood up quickly. "Should I go or you need Crystal!"Irma snapped and turned,he hurried behind her and hugged her. "Wifey, I didn't notice you"He said and she pulled down his hands before facing him. "Answer my question first, who's Crystal?"She asked. "She's my childhood friend, did you meet her?"Adrian replied.

Adrian shoved Jessie aside and snapped at her, "Shut up. Don't talk about Colleen like that. She was your sister-in-law." Then, he turned back to the camera and said, "Thank you for your concern, but Colleen is history. Ms. Rosalind Muller is the woman I want to protect now. She's suffered too much because of me." On camera, Adrian looked remarkably sincere. I noticed that the online comments were filled with nothing but praise for him. Behind me, a bodyguard stepped forward with a blank expression. "Ms. Lamb, would you like us to strike now?" I smiled and told him to stay calm. It wasn't time yet.

“This is going to be the start of something amazing for us, I just know it.” Adrian nodded, though his mind was still heavy with the weight of his secret. For now, he decided to push it aside. He would deal with Lissa later. Right now, Edna deserved this moment, and he wasn’t going to take it away from her. They spent the rest of the evening wrapped in each other’s joy. They laughed, talked about baby names, drank a glass of wine (Edna only sipped lightly), and watched a movie. It felt like the most normal, happiest evening they had had in weeks. And for a little while, Adrian allowed himself to believe that everything was going to be okay, that he could keep the secret a little longer.

“Hello, Mr. Hamper. I’ve long heard Mr. Walker speak of your elegance. I’m his secretary, Adriana Clarke. You can call me Adriana.” Xavier shook her hand, his gaze discreetly appraising her. He smiled and complimented, “Mr. Calvin’s secretary—beauty and brains in one package.” Calvin remained motionless and said calmly, “I’m flattered.” Xavier tilted his head. “Can you play?” Adriana answered modestly, “To be honest, I’ve dabbled a bit, but my skills are really poor. I’d hate to embarrass myself in front of you. Please, you and Mr. Walker go ahead—I’ll cheer you on!”

He had also mentioned to her that he had someone Important he wanted to introduce her to. As curiosity would have it... When Clara had asked him who the person was, Adrian had simply told her it was a secret that she would discover herself if she decided to accept his invitation. Reluctantly, Clara had given him a hard pass again, stating she wasn't interested. But Adrian had assured her that he promised she would like the person. He had told Clara that the supposed man was handsome and loving, and was also a friend of his. He went further to remind Clara that she had been single for too long and needed to move on.

Isla and Rigo let out a synchronized squeal, loud enough to make Luke flinch from the other side of the room. I could feel my ears burning, my face fully red. I wanted to melt into the couch cushions, disappear between the slices of pizza and throw pillows. "I just woke up one day," Adrian continued, unfazed by the noise, "and thought to myself—this girl whose eyebrows creased when she couldn't solve a math problem makes my heart go wild." I groaned under my breath, burying half my face in my hands. "She used to be a crybaby," he added, glancing sideways at me. "Still is."

I nodded in agreement . “Yes, I was engaged to Danielle, but I don’t love her at all. I tried to make myself love her, but it didn’t work, until I met you and fell deeply and hopelessly in love with you. Elena, you are my absolute love; no one else,” Adrian had explained intently while I listened without missing a word. “That’s why I knew I had to end things with her immediately, so I went and did it. I told you I was in a meeting because I didn’t want to say everything over the phone. Elena, you have to believe me—I was going to explain everything properly to you. I only wanted to shower first, but then you saw her messages,” Adrian said. “I thought you were like the other men,” I said calm
