When Adeline arrived in their house, her mother immediately greeted her with a wide smile, but it disappeared immediately and was changed into a worried look when she saw her eyes.
"Adeline, honey? What happened?" Her mother worriedly ask. She tried to hide her sad eyes and gave her mother a wide smile. She didn't want her parents to worry about her anymore, she is too old enough to persecute them.
"Oh It's nothing mom. Something just landed on my eyes, I just rubbed it so it became red." She lied to her mother, but it looks like she is not convinced about her response.
"You don't have to lie to me honey. Is something wrong? Where have you been last night. We called you many times but you can't be reached." Her mother question her again.
"Mom, you are over reacting. I'm good okay? Nothing really did happened. I was about to go out on my car when suddenly something hit my eyes and I do not
Drake's POVDrake hurriedly rush to his family's company. So many questions are running into his mind. He can't think straight even if he tried to for how many times already. He don't get it. All of the sudden, their company is about to bankcrupt. Why? For what reason? The last time he talk to his father about the company, he said everything is fine and everything is running smoothly, and now?He had arrived in front of Wright's Corporation and there were so many people waiting outside their company, specifically workers from their company with banners in their hands. And what is written there are their complaints and grievances regarding the company.*RETURN WHAT YOU STOLE**JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL**PAY OUR SALARY**THIEVES*
Drake and his family drove to Adeline's parents company. He does not wanna come but his father insisted him to because his Uncle Antonio had said so."Thank goodness Antonio offered for help. How we will be able to survive without them?" His mother said then gave out a sighed in relief."Yes. But he said that he needs some thing in return." Drake father replied.Drake is just listening to their conversation, looking outside the car's window, but his mind is not with them, but instead he is thinking of Natasha. He still can not believe the woman left him just because of her dream of being a model. He sighed deeply and his parents had noticed it."Why do look like you got much more bigger problem than your father, Drake?" His mother asked him but he did not answered. He is so pre occupied."Drake? Are you with us?" His father asked him that's when he came back to his senses. He blinked twice and looked at him."What? Are you talk
"Marry Adeline." His Aunt Lily said which made him stilled in his seat."WHAT?" He shouted and his eyes grew wider because of so much shocked. He seemed gotten deaf to what he heard."Yes. Marry my daughter in exchange for our help." His Uncle Antonio seriously said which made him more confused."You are gotta be kidding me Uncle, Auntie." He said and gave them a laughed. It is totally an absurd idea. In exchange for the help they would provide, he would marry Adeline? Hell no!He continued to laugh but stopped when he noticed that they are serious."We are serious Drake. Marry Adeline, in exchange we will merge our company with you, you should also take over the company instead of your father. You have studied business and also already have knowledge about the company." Drake's eyebrows furrowed and his face crumpled."Wait, wait. Are you serious about this? I mean,
The day had finally come, the day that Adeline had been waiting for. She was so excited since yesterday that she was unable to sleep because of extreme excitement. She dress nicely so that it will give a.good impression to Drake. She knows that the man hates her, but given the fact hat he agreed on marrying her gives her hope that maybe he is starting to see her as a woman and not some nuisance.She wore a casual white dress paired with black heels. She put on earnings, just a small ones and a heart pendant necklace. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror. She looks beautiful. No wonder Drake said yes to her parents offer.When she was finished fixing herself, she went downstairs and her parents are waiting for her. They smiled at her as she walked down the stairs like a Disney princess."You look amazing honey." Her father complements her and her cheeks flushed red and she felt shy.&n
Adeline smiled when the people inside left. At last, every thing will be okay now. And she is so happy about it that she was about to run all over the building."You did great Drake. I am so proud of you." Adeline's father complemented Drake and he just gave a smile, a smile that did not reach his eyes then nodded."I did not expect him also to talk like that, Antonio." Drake's father also commented."Well, I think he got it from you. Your good at business, he must have inherited business mind ability." Adeline's mother responded.They are still in the conference room. Their parents had decided that they can just talk there to make it easier.Thay all sat on thier chair. Adeline's facing Drake. Who is just silently sitting on his chair, looking like he is bored and not interested on the next agenda. Adeline already expected it though."So? About the wedding? We already told Adeline about it." Her mother is the one who started the conversatio
It was as if there was some thorn and pain Adeline felt in her chest at the words the man said to her. She did not know how and why he said that to her. She did not even do anything wrong but the man keeps on blaming her for everything. She did not even force her parents to marry Drake. It was a exchange for the help that her family gave to the man's family, but if he had said at the very beginning or just that he didn't want to and he didn't agree to the compensation her parents demanded, then he would have probably no problem right now. Even though she wants to make the man understand everything that she has nothing to do with it and she does not know about the wedding, the man does not listen and still insists on the thing she did not do and still continue to blame her. Sometimes she does not even understand why the man does not like her and hates her so much even though she is not doing anything wrong. Maybe it's because she likes the man, and that made h
*THE WEDDING DAY*Finally, the day that Adeline had been waiting for had come, the day that she waited for a long time. The day that she had dreamt for the past five years, the day in which she thought would never come to her.She still can not believe everything right now. And she is so happy. She was so excited since yesterday night and because of her so much excitement, she did sleep very early so that her skin will glow even more for the very special day of hers. She had not imagine and thought that everything she was dreaming for the past five years will come true. It is like a dream that is hard to believe. It seems like only yesterday when she kept on stalking the man's social media accounts but now she will be getting married to him. She is getting married to her ultimate crush. To her love of her life.She woke up early that day, she prepared and fixed herself. She put on a light make up
After Drake left, there was a commotion inside the church. They all could not believe what Drake had done, even friends could not believe his sudden departure. It was all of the sudden which made them shock, even Adeline. She thought everything will go smootingly as planned, never she had thought that it will end this way."What the hell just happened Lucio. Why did Drake left?" Adeline's mother said panicking. Her mother look at her worriedly, but she just smile to reassure her mother. A smile that did not reach her eyes."I also do not know Lily. I am so sorry." Her Aunt Samantha apologized, also look bothered and worried about the situation. Who wouldn't?Dan came forward to Adeline then look at her sadly. She gave her best friend a smile but Dan knew her better. Dan held her hand and pinched it soflty then gave her a warm smile."It's okay. Everything will be fine, okay?"
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
