After Adeline left the cafe, she directly and hurriedly went to her car. She slid herself inside then start the car engine and drove the car away from the cafe. She stopped the car when she thought that she was finally miles away from the cafe and from Drake.
Her tears then started to fall one by one. She cry and cry as she remember Drake's words. His insults to her and the humiliation he gave her in the cafe. The pain seemed so unbearable for Adeline to handle.
At first Adeline did not know if where she got the guts to slap Drake. All she knows is that something inside her is telling her to do such thing to him, to slap him. And the slap she gave him is surely a hard one, and it will definitely leave a trace on his face.
She sighed then starts the car engine again then drove off to Dan's house.
Minutes later, she had arrived. She saw Dan standing in the front door. Dan eyebrows arched upon seeing her arrived. She turned off the car engine then went out,
Drake was caught off guard when Adeline slapped him hard on he face. He did not expect her to do that. When Adeline then left after telling him her reasons he had a second thought.What if Adeline did really knew nothingabout the marriage? What if she did not really requested her parents to do such thing? What if she completely know nothing about everything and Drake just judge her without knowing everything.He shook his of what he had thought. No! That's completely impossible. He knew that Adeline likes him for a longer time now. It's not impossible that she planned every thing. She must have requested to her parents to marry him in exchange for the help that they will give. She took the opportunity to grab him in the neck.Drake clenched his hands into fist. He definitely disagrees with the marriage, not because he did not want it but because Adeline is the woman who he wi
Drake went to his Uncle Antonio's office to convince him to withdraw and break the agreement of their marriage with his daughter. He knew he could not do anything now but he just wanted to try at least.He was rushing off when he was outside his uncle's office. He catches his breath as he stands in front of the office door, he heaved a sigh before twisting the door knob twice then he entered.He saw his uncle comfortably sitting on its seat, reading something, looking very serious and focused, documents were filed up in it's table.It suddenly diverted it's gaze to look at him when it felt his presence. He look at Drake in confusion but then was replaced by a smile. It stood up from it's seat then walked towards him. Drake also did the same, he walked towards his uncle."Drake. What brought you here." His uncle said when it was finally in front of him.
"Natasha," Drake blurted out the woman's name is complete shock."Yes, it's me." Natasha answered from the other line.Drake suddenly felt pain yet excited upon hearing the woman's voice but then he feels like he should act cold towards her because of what she did to him."What do you want?" He asked, his voice was low and deep and very cold.Drake heard Natasha heaved a sighed."I'm sorry Drake. I'm really sorry." Natasha apologized, her voice was pleading and pain can be felt from it.Drake heard nothing from the other line, then suddenly there was a sobbed. He suddenly felt worried about the woman but he is trying to hold out himself not to ask."What are you sorry for? Are you sorry because you left me without telling me? Or are you sorry because you made me a fool and made me expect tha
Lycan and Kael, Drake's friends, were with him. They were in the bar where they used to have fun, and he just wanted to have a drink to alleviate the pain and frustration he is currently experiencing, and to forget about the problems he is currently facing."Congratulations, man," his friend Kael said as he sipped wine from a glass. "You'll be marrying the person who has liked you the most since college," he added, mockingly.Drake look at his friend Kael in a serious look, his look is like a dagger, ready to dig it onto his body."Didn't expect this, man. I thought you don't like the woman, you even ran off on your first wedding but look at now. You will be getting married again tomorrow," Lycan said to him, looking completely confused while looking at him.He heaved a deep sighed but still remained silent about what he had heard."Yeah, me neither," Kael went
*Wedding Day*The day had finally arrived, the day that Adeline had finally been waiting for. Her wedding day..again..They were already in the church and in front of the priest who's gonna blessed them with their marriage. Drake's parents didn't come because Drake said that they have something much more important to settle and handle, but she knew better. She knew the reason why they didn't come because of Drake's Dad situation. But her parents doesn't know it, they got sad upon hearing that Drake's parents won't be able to come but still continue with the ceremony without them.Adeline's friend who is Dan is also there, and so do Drake's friends- Kael and Lycan."I, Adeline Pendleton, take you, Drake Wright, as my husband, and I promise to be true to you in good times and bad, in sickness and in health, and I will love and honor you for the rest of my life."
After checking their new house and leave some advices for the two of them, Adeline's parents and her friend, Dan, left home and all that was left inside is the two of them. Their things and belongings were already delivered the day before the wedding and it was all taken care of by her parents.Adeline was looking around the living room and she suddenly notice Drake who was sitting comfortably on the couch, his attention was totally locked on his phone and he was busy typing something on it.Adeline sighed, then hemmed and cleared her throat to catch the man's attention who was still busy on his phone."Uhm, don't you wanna take a rest on our room?" She asked which make Drake stopped typing in his phone and glared at her.He scoffed. "Take a rest on our room? Our room? Are you fucking kidding me? Never will I share and sleep with the same room with you. Dream on, bitch." He stood up
After Drake left the living room he directly went to his bedroom. As soon as got to closed the door, he went inside his bathroom to take a quick bath. He took of his clothes, turn on the shower and let the water flow down in his whole body.He suddenly remembered what he did on the living room. He punched the tile wall because of so much anger and rage. Blood drips down on his knuckles as the water from the shower sprinkle all over his body. He heaved a deep sighed.Why does the world is so cruel to him. Why does he need to suffer even though he didn't do anything wrong. And what hurts him the most is that why does his Uncle Antonio and Aunt Lily made an agreement which is so unfair to him. When they both know that he already love someone else but still insisted to marry their daughter.He didn't tell Natasha about the wedding when it called last time. He didn't brought up the topic because he doesn't w
When Drake left the dining area, he directly went to his the living room. If he can't control her no matter what he do and no matter how he try to scare her then it leaves him no choice. He thought that Adeline would feel a little bit scared at him, as he noticed that everytime he catches the woman looking at him he will look at her emotionless or threw a dagger look at her, she would lower down her head. But he guess wrong.He is used to see the woman as kind and timid to it's friends and like a scared cat when she's with him but seeing her and being with her in one house realized that she isn't the same Adeline he knew before. She is now more likely a pathetic, annoying, and crazy conning bitch to him for making him marry her.*How dare her lie to me that she's doing her best to help him when the truth is she is fucking ruining my life. She could offer without asking for an exchange, but...* His mind muttered.
Adeline directly went to the kindergarten as soon as Dan called her and inform her thar she was hired and will start to work right away. She was about to go home directly when Liam, Dan's husband called and told her to pick up the kids because he had something important meeting to attend to.She walked along the cross road in the city. She look at the time on her watch and she saw that it's already 10:30. Kid's lunch is on 11:30. She still have time to buy for their lunch. She felt pity in the morning towards Dan because she wasn't able to cook breakfast for Jamie and for them. She suddenly fuilt guilty. She was in a hurry this morning because her boss called her to look for some documents which is needed in the company.You might be wondering why did not she work instead for her family company or why did she have to work when in fact she is very wealthy because of her family's business. Well, her reasons is the same as Dan. She
Dan sighed tiredly running after those stubborn aw and cute little kids, running around the house. Jamie and Adrian were playing around the house as she keep on cleaning the whole area."Can you two stop making mkmmy run around the room?" I asked panting while they both giggled and stopped running too." We are sorry mommy ." Both Jamie and Adrian replied simultaneously.Jamie sometimes called her mommy and sometimes, when she is not in the mood she would call her Aunt. And she does not know why she loves doing it that way."Now come here and get dressed for school, you don't want to get late right?" Dan asked to the two children and the two of them nodded nonchalantly."No mommy, I don't want to get late but maybe this dummy here will want to. " Jamie replied pointing at Adrian who glared at her.Dan chuckled at their behaviour shakin
"Drake, please don't do this to me! Drake please! Drake !!" Adeline yelled banging the door."Drake !" she cried resting her back on the door. She let the tears roll down her eyes feeling her heart sinkThe thought of being locked up and not being with him is killing her. It's just been only a night she not being with him and it's already devouring him."D.. Drake please! Drake, please I beg of you. Please don't do this to me! A...am gonna die! Drake!!" she screamed loudly kicking, banging and hitting the door."Drake!"she cried again slowly lowering herself on the floor.The door swung open then pop out Drake and Natasha who are smiling evily at her. Adeline shook her head.'P.. please. I..need you. I need you Drake. "she whimpered buring her face between her knees."I don't love you anymore, Adeline. I only Love
She will handle everything the way she planned it first and see where it leads them. She will fight for Jamie's life. For the life of her daughter.Dan's right. She should not just react and give just like that because Jamie fought for her life..So how can she? She was too ashamed for her daughter because she was not able to meet her daddy because of what happened.Sometimes, Jamie is asking her if where is her dad and she could not answer her. She does not know what to answer her daughter. So instead of saying she does not have one, she just explained to her that she was given a by god. A gift by god her and thank God that Jamie did not asked questions anymore about her dad. But Adeline knew, that when ever she goes to school. She gets jealous to some of her classmates who came with their Dad. Adeline could not do anything about it but to get hurt about and about her daughter. How she wished she could fill the missing parts in h
Adeline is in the kitchen, cooking for their food, Jamie held the hem of her dress and she is not ready to let go even for a minute because she thinks she might vanish."Don't worry, I will cut it by myself." She said as Jamie is handling her the onions cut onions for the food she's cooking for her unexpected guests.She carried the plate that contained the onions and placed it elsewhere without meeting her gaze."Mom. I already said sorry, why can't you let me cook with you." Jamie sniffed the sweet aroma of her mom's stew.Its been a weeks since they left the hospital, Jamie still did not undergone the surgery as what she is supposed to be because she still needs blood..and her daughter's blood doesn't compatible to her but with Drake..so she is planning to go home and asked for Drake's blood.She doesn't know if what will she tell him because she expected it that he will
Dan did not mean to freak and called out Adeline but she knows how sensitive she is , especially when it comes to her daughter and she regretted calling her right then, she should have waited till daybreak before calling.Yes. Adeline had a daughter. She was pregnant when she left Drake to New York and Drake did not know anything about it. Dan's son was with her husband and went to his mother in law's house.Adeline went to work and Dan was the one who is taking care of her daughter.She has no choice now but to tell her and pray she would not act rashly and panicked when she told her to come to the hospital to avoid her dying even before seeing her daughter to know if she's surviving or not."Jamie is sick, we are at the Memorial Hospital of the City she's fine, I promise you" Shee tried coolly as sje swiped sweat off her forehead."Oh, God. Thank goodness. " Adeline
It was like something hit Drake's head as he opened up his eyes. He heard s loud noise in his mind but he could not recognize the woman's voice except for Natasha.Of course why can't he recognized her voice, she is his girlfriend. He then opened up his eyes. Pain pang in his head when he slowly opened it up. It was like a big stone was above him and he could not moved his whole body because it is on so much pain..He opened his eyes and saw a white ceiling, he then roamed his eyes around and saw a many people inside the room. Three of them are women and one of them is a man. Of course, he knows Natasha was in there and Kael but then he went confused when he saw a woman who was having a quarrel with Natasha. So even though he is in so much pain and his head was banging in pain he manages to speak to catch their attention."Ughhh!! What is going on here?" He asked , he saw the woman's eyes who wa
Adeline quickly rushed to the hospital upon hearing what happened to Drake. She also saw the news and did not thought at first that it was Drake who got into an accident, but when someone called her and told her that Drake got into an accident, she did not waste more time and then rushed. And when she arrived from the hospital and attended to but the doctor is not out yet.If anything happens to Drake she will not take it. She will die if he leaves him. Dan also came with her and Kael. Lycan is still nowhere to be found after what happened. They haven't heard any new from him.Dan, Kael and her, the three of them kept pacing about in the hospital waiting for an outcome.. Adeline could not think straight."Dan? What if something happened to him? I will not be able to forgive myself, Dan. I will die." She blamed herself as she cried loud.Dan shook her head. "No, Ads. Nothing ba
"No it's not. I just don't see any reason why I should explain myself to you, when in fact in the first place I shouldn't because you should trust me as you know thay I will not do that to you. You know me Drake..I will not.di such thing.." She said and sighed. "I also felt that way too, Adeline. Yes, I should have trust you because I know you love me. But what I saw earlier is totally give sh*t the hell out of me..How so you expect me to believe you after what I saw. I couldn't think of any other reason the moment I saw the two of you. While he Lycan is wearing nothing from the top and your shirt was upright from your chest.." He said and he look at her with rage again, his voice is deep and dangerous. "Drake" Adeline called out his name again. She already looks so frustrated about explaining to him her side. She does not know wjy can't he believe her after all the explanation she said. It's like her w
