Adeline ~
The loud blazing tune of my alarm clock jolted me awake, I fell from the bed from the terrible shock, groaning as my body hit the cold tiles of the bedroom.
“Ouch.” I yelped, getting off the floor and rubbing my right elbow, I angrily shut the alarm clock off, sitting on my bed, still rubbing my elbow.
I leaned down a bit, picking my phone off the table, and checked the time, it was already pst 7-40.
“How the fuck did I sleep so long?” I grunted, standing up from the bed and stripping off my pajamas so I could sleep.
My phone started to ring, I checked the caller if and saw that it was Alexander calling me
Thank you all for voting for this story, I appreciate each and every gem.
Adeline~I rushed out and saw Alex and Dani with the investors, my heart leaped as I saw them, they were actually here. I walked closer to them where I could hear Alex talking to them.“I am quite surprised you asked that the meeting be today, Mr.McGuire, I have to say that this was extremely sudden for me but nevertheless here I am with my associates.” A tall lanky man with full white beards said as he shook Alex’s hand.“Oh Mr. Thomas, I am so sorry about the impromptu meeting but my assistant didn't remind me about the meeting scheduled for today,” Alex said, looking at me.I was not at fault, I didn't send them any message from my side.
Adeline~My mind was running through different things that I had no idea what to do.Why would anyone purposely want to aSabotage this whole deal for the company? “You suspect Uriel, right?” he asked me, bringing me out of my thoughts, I looked at him and nodded.“Yeah, she has been saying some sort of things to me, and also her attitude towards me is making me think she could be there,” I say.But what if she isn’t the one? Alex nodded, walking out of the office, I stood there wondering
Adeline~I watched as she walked out of the office angrily while I sat there baffled by the entire thing. Dani stood up to leave too, leaving me with Alex who was pacing around angrily.“I can't believe the nerve of Uriel, how could she try to sabotage the company in this manner? It is not just preposterous but also extremely disgusting,” he says.I sighed and stood up “I’m sorry about everything that happened today, it's good we found out she was the one soon enough so we are fine.” I say and held his arm.He turned to look at me, engulfing me in a tight hug, I smiled and hugged him back.
Adeline~ I pulled the lock and it came off immediately, I furrowed my eyebrows, looking at the loosened safe in my hands, I looked into the safe but the document I places in there yesterday was gone. I furrowed my eyebrows, looking at it again, whoever was in my office was successful in breaking the safe open. The office door opened and I looked up to see who it was, Dani walked in with a smile on her face. “Oh, what are you doing there, Adeline?” she asked, stretching her neck forward to see what I was doing. I quickly stood up, adjusting my pants “Oh, my pen fell and I was looking for it.” I say I am not exactly su
Adeline~ We pulled up at the driveway, I sighed and looked up to see my home. “What’s wrong?” Alex asked me, I turned slightly to look at him, fiddling with my fingers, I had to tell him, now is the best time to do that. “Umm...Actually, yesterday I saw.” I paused on hearing his phone ring out, he gestures at me to wait while he answered the call. I tucked in my hair behind my ear as I waited for him to be done with the call. “Sorry, Adeline but it was Dad's doctor that called me, I have to go see him now, what were you telling me?” he asked. “Oh,
Adeline~I hasten my steps as I walked through the busy streets of NY, my bag in my right hands and a Starbucks coffee on my left, I felt my phone vibrate in my bag and groaned.I would have to pick that later, I quickly crossed the road, looking at the huge company In front of me, a sigh escaped my lips.I walked into the company, I was already so damn late because of the drink Denola flushed down my throat, I paused on my way on seeing a familiar face sitting in the reception.Uriel?I furrowed my eyebrows as soon as my eyes met hers, a cocky smirk appeared on her face, she stood up, walking towards me.
Adeline~ I tried to wiggle my way out of Alex’s tight grip but I was unsuccessful about it, Daniella had already seen us together. “Umm...sorry sir, i” she stuttered, her eyes flickering between Alex and myself, Alex held unto me, not letting go at all. She walked out of the office, his grip loosened around my waist, I looked up at him, glaring hard. “Why did you do that?” I asked, he looked at me baffled “What did I do?” He asked me, playing innocent or whatever, I shook my head, rubbing my forehead. “She knows something is up with us.” I tell him,
Adeline~ The clock dinged loudly, I snapped my head towards it as it alerted me that it was now 4 pm, I sighed on remembering the engagement I had for five pm. I leaned back on my chair, looking at the documents Daniella had given to give Alex so he could sign it, it was now closing hour and I still haven’t spoken to Alex, he sent series of messages and even called but I simply ignored it, not because I was angry but because he was right. We were not in some hide-and-seek relationship and he did not deserve whatever I was trying to do. I stood up from the chair, picking the papers off the table, and straightened my clothes, I walked out of his office and towards his, a breathy shaky sigh escaped my lips as I knocked gently on the door.
Adeline~ Two weeks later… “You are good to go now, Ms. Monteiro but make sure you are off any kind of stress.” The doctor warns me. I couldn’t hide my excitement, I’m sure it is more than evident in my eyes, I was so happy for the fact that I am finally okay and do not need to come to the hospital anymore. “Thank you very much, Doctor,” I tell him, glancing beside me to see Alex on a call, he had left my side and was now pacing around. I looked back at the doctor and smiled at him “I have to go now.” He tells me, glancing at
Alexander~ I sucked in. A breathe as I lifted the shawl off her face, my breathe hitched on seeing her like this, I bent down as I scooped her into my arms, she wasn’t responding. “Adeline.” I called out her name, dropping the phone on the floor as I tapped her cheeks lightly, what have they done to you? I swallowed the lump in my throat as I cradled her against my chest, she had to be alright, she has to be fine. I suddenly felt a jack on my head, resulting in indescribably pain for me, I shut my eyes close as the pain hit me. I placed Adeline back on the floor and turned to see who had hit me. It was the guard from
Adeline... I don't know what has been going on, well, since my last punishment, everyone has been on a tight radar, I don't know what has been happening but I have all been which is very weird. I can see exactly how busy they all are, which is weird, I have only seen the blonde man, and he only gets me food. If I were to go by my calculations then I have been here for two weeks, It might be more than that but for now, that is what I feel. My body still hasn't healed up from the scars I sustained the last time but at least, I don't feel the crazy pain that I used to. I wriggled off the bed that I was laying on, well, now that they are sure that I have no place to run to, they leave me untied and now I can walk around the room how well I want but still, there is no freedom to leave this godforsaken place. I heard the door open and spun around to see who it was, the blonde man came in looking really angry. "Tim
Alexander~I had everything planned out already, how we were going to get Adeline back now, I could only hope everything goes according to plan and we finally rescue her from where she is. I was back at home now, dialing the commissioner of police number, I needed him if I wanted the plan to work."Mr. McGuire." He says, I sighed as soon as I heard his voice."Commissioner, Please I need a favor from you." I went straight to the point, he knew just how much I have been trying to get Aelineback and I am a hundred and one percent sure that he would help me."Someone is going to make a co plaint against Daniella Acosta, tomorrow morning, I have finally found out where Adeline is being held captive but we cannot make any move until I am sure Daniella is in your custody, I will need you and your men to arrest her as soon as the complaint against her has been made and then we can get Adeline," I tell him, hoping he understood the things I
Alexander~ I was on my way back home now, after getting the news that I did, I didn't know what else to do. I still have to fine Adeline by any means but how? Tracing Daniella isn't the best to do right now. She doesn't go to the place but I still need to find her as soon as possible. I sighed and raked my hair with my fingers, my phone began to ring, distracting me from my thoughts. I took it out to see a strange number calling me, I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion Did Adeline escape? Is it her? I immediately picked the call, placing the phone against my ear “Hello,” I say, my heart was thumping
Adeline~I don’t know how long I have been here, maybe five days, six or ten? I have no idea but what I do know is that it feels like eternity here.I have been taken to the punishment room twice now, my second punishment was cruel, I felt I was going to die but Alas here I am, still breathing and hoping I will get away to leave this hellhole.My body was getting weaker by the day and I knew it, a doctor comes in here to inject me with something I have no idea.The man whose name I have now come to know as Carlos said it is to help me recover for the next punishment.The door flew open, I scrambled forward as soon as I saw them. The two men who
Alexander~It’s been a week and two days.It’s been a week and two days since Adeline suddenly vanished, I have tried everything I can, done everything I should within one week to find her but it is all going down the drain.The police have no lead to find her, it was as if she suddenly vanished but that isn’t the case, she has been kidnapped but by who? We have no idea.The private investors I hired have got nothing to tell me, I don’t know just how much more I can handle this anguish. I have no idea where she is, how she is doing? How she is fairing? I had given the police information on what I thought would give them a bett
Adeline~ My heart was thumping so hard that I feared it would burst open, I shut my eyes close as my grip on the door handle tightened, I released a shaky breath, taking a deep breath again "Go in now and stop this drama." I heard the blonde-haired man snap at me, I immediately opened the door to whatever it is that I am walking into. I slowly walked into the place, shutting the door behind me. I looked around the room, this was different, it was painted all black which is my first clue that I have just entered the lion's den, my palms began to sweat so much, looking at the situation of the room, It was all dark yet somehow not so dark, I could still see under all of the darkness here, I gulped hard as I looked around, my heart was beating so fast yet I had no control over it. "Come on, don't stand there." I heard a voice say, I immediately turned around to see who was talking but I got nothing, "W-who is it?' I
Adeline~A cold liquid hits my face rather harshly, jolting me from my sleep, I gasped for air as I found myself unable to breathe, I tried wriggling out of the bed I was being tied to but it was of no use. “Wakey, wakey, you aren’t here for a vacation.” The voice says, I tried shaking the cold water off my face so I could see who it was.“You, please let me go,” I say as soon as I saw who it was, the same guy I have always been seeing. I had no idea how long I have been kept here.“Stop with the bullshit, we have somewhere to be.” He tells me, sticking a cigarette into his mouth, he clapped loudly and two huge men came into the room.
