Chapter 95.A taste of badass.Adrian's POV.His eyes darkened, and I almost thought he wouldn't make a move, but he did.He moved the hand that was on my butt downward, and it guided itself straight into my raised gown, and there, he touched my covered pussy.I was wearing a pantie; it was just light and lacy, but at that moment, I wished I wasn't; it would have been a clean touch with no obstruction whatsoever.I moaned at the contact and tightened my legs more around him."So, you are wearing one."His other hand went to my boobs and he squeezed the right one, "You're not wearing a bra."I couldn't reply to him; the only words that were replying in my head were, 'Please don't stop, please.'I was already in the mood, and I had not gotten laid for a lot of months, so I needed every touch of him. Every one of them.But Raphael was not in the mood like I was; he took his hands away from me and separated his body from mine before getting out of bed."You should leave, Adriana," He told
Chapter 96.What he wants with his love.Raphael's POV.I woke up with a smile on my face when I felt the body beside me. She was cuddling me like her life depended on it, and that was the best morning of my life in months.'This is what they call good morning.' I thought.When I opened my eyes, Adriana was still sleeping and I was given a chance to watch her to sleep.My eyes were on her face, they were fixed there like there was no tomorrow.Her face was the first thing that pulled me in when I first met her and then, everything about her. I love everything about her.Yesterday was crazy. That was a perfect way for reconciliation, a perfect lovemaking and a sweet taste of my wife's badass.Yeah, I want to stop seeing Adriana as my girlfriend; she was more than that to me; she was my life. My very own love.Mine.I pecked her forehead, "Baby, wake up."I knew it would be right for me to get out of bed as silently as I could, but I couldn't; I didn't want to spend a second without Ad
Chapter 97.Raphael's plan.Raphael's POV.I glanced at Galton slyly, "Am I?""Yeah. Let me tell you this, to make Ad yours, you have to publicize yourself and there and then, you could claim her in front of the world. No one would want to be on your bad side, trust me."I smiled.'He's right, no one will want to be crushed by me. I'll publicize myself, and claim Adriana, that's cool.' I thought."You're a smartass, Galt."He shrugged, "I learned from my sister."I don't dispute that.We got to the dining, and it was dressed with a sweet aroma while the table was clothed with food.There was Karla and Natalia on a seat each in the dining room, chatting away with a smile, and no kidding, the aroma and food were done by them."Hey, Karla."I went to her and pecked her cheeks, "How are you this morning?" I questioned her."I'm very fine, you never told me that Natalia here loves cooking as much as I could." Said Karla.I scratched my head, 'How am I supposed to know about that? Oh, shoot
Chapter 98.A step into the mall.Adrian's POV.I had been stricken with shyness when I felt everyone's eyes on me like they were expecting me to say something to what Raphael just said, whereas I had nothing to say."Stop it, Rap, Michael; you're driving her shy." Karla bailed me out."Oh!" Raphael sat right before apologizing, "I'm sorry.""It's fine," I replied to him. "I'm hungry, I just want to eat right now, and I will fulfil my promise to Galton; we will be going for the shopping I promised him yesterday.""Yes!" Galton was jubilant. "Thanks sis.""My pleasure."Raphael helped me to dish out my food, and he volunteered to feed me, which I accepted.He was just being so sweet that morning and I was beginning to think that it was because of the presence of my Mom in the dining."So Galton and you, love birds, Karla and I will be going out to refill the kitchen with foodstuff, and we will leave you to it," Mom informed us, and she stood up with Karla."While I go to the room and
Chapter 99.An unwanted view.Adrian's POV.I poised my lips together and folded my hands as Millar kept on beckoning for her husband who seemed to be interacting with someone more important than her."Give up, Millar; your husband thinks that you're a second choice," Galton told her and pulled me closer, giving Millar more reasons to hate him."Shut up, boy! I bet you don't know her age, that's why you're busy with someone old enough to be your grandma." Millar spat bitterly.Galton busted into laughter, "Ad, who the fuck is this bitch? It's like she doesn't look at herself in the mirror.""Yeah, she just escaped from the juvenile," I told Galton."Obviously."Millar was speechless and she kept on gazing towards the man whose back was turned towards us.'That must be her husband.' I reasoned."Come on, Galt, let's get the shopping begin, I don't want a disturbance.""Yeah."He held me tighter and began to walk away with me.Millar yelled behind us, "You'll pay for each word you said
Chapter 100.A nightmare to remember.Adrian's POV."Lincoln?"The words slipped out heavily like a big rock in my throat."Sweet Adrian." He remembered me too.In the next second, I was in his arms. I don't know how I got in, but he was hugging me very tightly and passionately."Oh, Adrian!" He muttered.I didn't bother to hug him back; I just stood in his arms, looking like a statue.I don't know how to react to his presence.Maybe to be happy that he was in London or be sad and not like we were in agreement before we departed.Again, what transpired between the both of us was not his fault, it was Raphael's, so it shouldn't be held against him. I know.But with all the words in my head, I couldn't bring myself to return the hug he was sharing with me.I was still statue-stricken.He disengaged from the hug and held my shoulders."Where have you been? Have you been here? No wonder I couldn't find you with all the thorough searching of the state." Lincoln said to me.Still, I replied
Chapter 101.Lincoln is going too.Raphael's POV.The day broke, and I was still with my love. I spent hours with her, and that made my morning.We ate the food I cooked, which was mashed potatoes and fish, and what we did after was to see a movie collection together.I understood that she must have had a frightening dream, and that must have got her all shivered up, and seeing her like that moved a thing in me that I forgot how to return to sleep.My eyes became so dried up, and I knew this was fate, I had to do everything in my power to please my love, and I enjoyed each piece of it."Babe, I'm sorry, I took your sleep away from you, that's selfish of me." Adriana apologized to me.We were in the main sitting room, seeing a movie I was not concentrating on, my full focus was on her.She was my interesting movie, and each smile on her beautiful face radiated my heart and gave me a pleasing calmness.With her between my legs, folding her legs on the couch in a meditating post and me f
Chapter 102.Unplanned proposal.Raphael's POV.My eyes were fixed in the mirror as I adjusted my bowtie and gazed at my reflection in the mirror.My whole eyes bloomed with gladness as my brain processed everything that would be happening today. 'Adriana will be my fiancee. She will return home with a ring tucking her slender, beautiful finger. My ring.'My hand dropped to my pocket and the box felt like a treasure in a hidden and dark cave. The box was there.I felt the race of my heart when I imagined her tear-filled eyes as she stretched out her hand for me to clothe her finger with the metal.Her loud 'yes' and flushed cheeks combine with her trembling lips as I would claim them with mine. 'But what if she says no?' That doubtful mind questioned me, but I had no answer to give to it. I know my girl, I know who she wants and I have no reason to doubt. All I have to do is to get my butt out there, tell the world who the fuck I am and get on my knees to know my fate.I know there'
Epilogue.Months later...Author's POV.Adrian was in the hospital, staring into space and that was how she had been for the past months. Always staring into space, thinking.Things had happened those past months, and Natalia couldn't be revived. She died while saving her daughter, leaving Adrian and Galton orphans.Lincoln Lime was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment, and all his property was given to Adrian as compensation, though she rejected it, giving the government a chance to own the properties til further notice.Galton was very hurt by the death of Natalia, and he was adopted by Raphael, even though he was of age, he wanted it.Ryan and Beatrice also got married and Beatrice was pregnant."Adriana." Adrian was called out of thought by Raphael, and she turned to him with a thin smile on her lips."Hey, you're back."Raphael had gone to grab her a basket of fruits as she craved."Yes," He leaned to her forehead and pecked her with his hand caressing her protruding stoma
Chapter 120.The end Adrian's POV.We have been hidden here for more than enough days and I haven't seen Mom no matter how I tried.The proposal Lincoln wanted to make with me just went by like that because I couldn't choose one, I couldn't lose my Mom, neither could I lose my baby whom I just know about.I love them both. So much.So I chose none and he left me then.Since that day, I haven't seen Lincoln, and I have been locked in the room. The only time I saw people was when I wanted to eat, they would bring food for me to eat.Today, like every day, the door opened, but this time, unlike every day, it was Lincoln who entered, and unlike every other time, when he would come by just to tease me and try to kiss me or seduce me.He tried to touch me just once, and after that, he left me, but today, he came into the room looking so annoyed.Lincoln grabbed my arm and began to pull me out of the room, "Lincoln, I..."He's cut me off with a snap, "Shut up and follow me!"I had to shut m
Chapter 119.Realizing where they are.Raphael's POV.I rushed to meet up with the investigator as they returned from their investigation, "Any news?" "No, Mr O'Neill, not yet." He replied to me.My body grew cold and my inside turned crisp like a nipping fall was happening inside of me. I was not okay, and the only thing stopping me from running mad was an unknown call that would say that Adriana was dead.I bet I would die immediately. It was very certain."What's your job if you can't find a little missing person? One got missing, we were thinking of escaping her, now another, and all you could tell us is that you can't locate them?"We've been waiting impatiently for words from you, and now that the words come, all you have to answer to us with is no? Why? It's days and do you have any idea of what that bastard is doing to my Mom and my sister, especially my sister? "If she's your sister, won't you locate her even if you have to enter the ground to find her? Are you playing shi
Chapter 118.Sorrow mixed with happiness.Adrian's POV.I couldn't let him go to my Mom, I ran to him when he was walking away and fell on my knees in front of him while weeping.I held onto his legs and cried, "Please, kill me and let my Mom go. She did nothing wrong and think of the good times when she would support you and fight for you."Think of the times my Mom would hit me because I treated you badly and spare her because she did nothing wrong to you. I am the one that wronged you. I chose Raphael over you and I should be punished. Please kill me and let my Mom go."Lincoln squinched in front of me and wiped my tears with his thumb, "You will be my gain in all these things I'm doing, so if I kill you for your Mom, what will be my gain? Nothing."I shook my head still, "Please don't hurt my Mom.""How will you believe me if I tell you I won't? You don't believe me when I told you at first.""Then let me see her, I have to be sure that she's okay, please." He twisted his lips, s
Chapter 117.Kidnapped.Adrian's POV.I know it was very bad of me to sneak out of the room and away when I could have waited behind and told what I wanted to do to Raphael, but I couldn't wait anymore for his judgment, he was taking too long to take a step and help to locate my Mom.I had pretended to be asleep after calming down from the shock of Millar's death and for the fact that I could have prevented her death, maybe if I was fast enough to stop her the other day she came to me, I would have saved her.Or maybe if I pretended that she was my friend as she said when she arrived, I should have saved her.However, the truth remains that she was dead, and I couldn't save her, but there was my Mom who needed me. She was in the custody and must be suffering. I would have been calm that my Mom would be fine since Lincoln had her, but he was bold enough to kill his girlfriend, so who is my Mom that he couldn't kill? So I had to leave to do what I could to save my Mom.When I was gett
Chapter 116.Why my brother?Raphael's POV.I managed to lure Adriana to sleep because she kept on shivering and reminding me that Millar was good.That was yet, another one of our difficult times.I gently closed up the door behind me, making sure to keep her in and to make sure not to wake her. I returned to the sitting room.I met Galton, Ryan and Karla sitting down in different thoughts, they sat on different sofas."Do you find something else?" I questioned randomly.Ryan raised his head to stare at me and he shook his head, "Nothing yet. The guards haven't returned since you left."He rubbed his hands together and was deep in thought, "Last time we saw Millar, it was two days ago when Andy went to the mall to buy her dress. Millar seemed to have something up her sleeve to be keeping from us, and she wanted to tell us, but_"He cut himself off and sighed."But what?" I moved closer to him, "Anything is useful right now Ryan.""But we didn't allow her to talk. You know Millar is a
Chapter 115.Millar is dead.Raphael's POV.I sat on the bed with everyone, they were all ready to see what the manager sent to me, it was the CCTV I requested from the manager.I was to play it but paused, "What are we expecting in this video?" I questioned them all."To see who lured Mom out," Galton replied to me."To know if Mrs Williams is kidnapped or something else happened to her," Beatrice muttered too."Let's just check it and see what's there to see, I want to know if my Mom is around and can be located immediately. There might be a location somewhere, she cannot be kidnapped without a reason." Adriana snapped at me.She spoke with pain lacing her voice like she knew that I was trying to defend my brother, like she knew that I was trying to believe that my brother could not do something like that.Like I was waiting for them to change their mind and stop focusing on Lincoln and tainting him evil when he was not.I signed, feeling defeated. "Fine."I pressed the play button
Chapter 114.After party enjoyment ruined.Raphael's POV.Adriana and I got up and managed a quick shower. We dressed up as quickly as we could, and we went out of the room.I met my guards outside, "Where's Galton?" I questioned them.One moved forward and replied to me, "He left for the mansion with ma'am Karla. I think they're searching for Mrs Mom.""On my gosh! Raphael, it's true." Adriana broke down in tears.My eyes moistened when I saw her tears. I almost felt useless that just a day after our wedding, I was already breaching my promise to her.I promise to protect her and her family, and now, this.I blinked my tears away and picked up my wife in a bridal style, "Let's go to the mansion to see what's going on there." I told her and she replied with a nod, with tears dripping slowly from her eyes.We left the hotel for the mansion, and throughout our journey, I just kept patting my wife's back with her in my arms.I was silently telling her that all would be okay.Whereas, I d
Chapter 113.After-party enjoyment.Raphael's POV.The party was over to some extent, and Adriana and I had to leave. I held Adriana in my arms and beckoned to Galton."We will be leaving now," I told him."Yeah, leaving immediately for your honeymoon." He chuckled."Can't we just wait til tomorrow? I'm very tired right now." Adriana whined out."No, sis, can't do."Galton walked away from us.Adriana turned to me, "Why don't you try to stop him? He will listen to you." I smiled at her, "I support everything he says but today, I'll consider my wife first."She gave me a beautiful smile and hugged me. "I love you, dear husband.""I love you, my sweet wife.""Let's get lost before Galton returns."She nodded and laughed.I picked her up from the floor in a bridal style and escaped through the backdoor and straight to the private elevator that whirled us to the penthouse.We entered and I locked the door, bolting it and keeping us secured."Even if they find us here, they won't be chanc
