ADRIANNAMy eyes cracked open, and the harsh rays of sunlight slapped my face, streaming in through the wide-open windows.I groaned as I stood up from the bed, my whole body in pain.My mind drifted off to what had happened yesterday and the decision I had to make.Yesterday I saw Ethan, the father of my child.I instinctively went for my stomach, touching it softly to feel if there was a bump.It was still shocking and surprising, that I had a child growing inside of me and I was going to be a mother.I knew he was the father of my child, because he was the only one I was intimate with for the last two months after the one night stand I had with him.I stood up from my bed, and walked over to my wardrobe trying to pick out what I was going to wear.I had decided to go on a long walk. I needed to clear my head, I had a lot going on, and I just wanted to take a really really long walk.I stood in front of my wardrobe, my thoughts drifting to what had happened yesterday.Ethan had aske
ADRIANNAI walked back home, my shoulders slumped, weighed down by what had happened today.It was just so hard to believe and understand what just happened. Jasmine had Raymond’s child? And on top of that, they were now married?What the heck was going on?I got to my apartment, and went straight to my bed.I launched myself onto my bed, feeling the spring creak beneath me.I looked over at the drawer beside my bed, my eyes citing the card.Did I really want to do this? Was this really what I wanted? I asked myself, deeply searching for an answer.I knew I would be able to take care of myself and the baby alone, I would be able to afford everything. But was that really what I wanted for my baby?I have already accepted my fate, and I have decided to love the baby and take care of it.“Fuck it” i said as i sat up from my bed.My baby needed a father figure, someone to call dad and someone who was going to be there.I grabbed the business card from the table, my finger tips going throu
ADRIANNA “Oh… hi” I said as I sat up from my bed. “I called you earlier” “Yes I know, my secretary told me,” he said. “Ohh okay” I said. After this, everywhere became silent. We both didn’t say anything over the phone, probably waiting for who to talk first. I laughed at that thought. “So i___” I said, not even able to complete my sentence as I was interrupted. “Can we talk?” He said over the phone. “In person or right now?” I asked. “In person” he replied almost immediately, like the idea of talking over the phone was a stupid thing to begin with. I gave a little giggle at the thought. “Are you laughing at me?” Ethan asked. “Of course not,” I said as I immediately stopped giggling. “Alright get ready in the next thirty minutes, i am sending my men over to come pick you up, send me your address after we are done with this call” he said. Men? What did he mean by men? I was well able to go out on my own. I don’t need an escort. “Wait, wait, wait. Hold on a
ADRIANNAThe food came in right after, different foods were placed in front of us and it was very hard not to admire.My taste buds and stomach were screaming hungry, I could feel myself salivating.I kept my eyes fixed on the steaming dishes in front of me, the savory aroma of roasted chicken and slow-cooked meat tantalizing my senses.I looked up at Ethan, to see what he was doing, and I was caught off guard. He was staring at me, his elbow on the table and his hand on his face supporting it.I gave out a little blush, my cheeks red in embarrassment. He was probably wondering why I was so enticed by the food, but I didn’t know why either. I just felt so hungry and was only thinking about how I was going to devour the food.“I’m so sorry, am i embarrassing?” I said as I slumped my shoulders.He looked at me and laughed.“No you are not, you look so cute” he said as he moved closer to touch my cheek but he stopped abruptly, retracting his hands back slowly.“Let’s eat” he said as he t
ETHANI looked at her, admiring her beauty. She looked so beautiful and her eyes shone so bright, that it captivated my heart. Her floral designed dress went so well with her eyes.“You look so beautiful,” I said, complimenting her.I knew no amount of compliments were enough to fully describe how she looked, but she looked magnificent.She had finally agreed to marry me, and my joy knew no bounds.Although she gave lots of conditions, I was still willing to go for it.I just couldn’t understand why I felt this way, but since I saw her at the club, my mind has not been at peace. I wanted to make her mine so bad.I knew she was still legally married to my brother, but I didn’t care one bit. If this was going to make me and my brother enemies, then I was ready to face it. I doubt he even cared, since he was occupied with that Jasmine of a girl.I always wondered what he saw in her actually, that he decided to betray this beautiful and breathtaking woman sitting in front of me. If i was
ADRIANNAI ran out of the restaurant as fast as my legs could take me, sobbing uncontrollably. I didn’t mean to walk out on him like that , I just couldn’t take it.When he stood up from his seat and knelt down, I was confused, wondering what was happening. Then he started talking about how he wanted me to be his wife and how he was going to take care of me. I was happy at first, my mind at peace and was loving the moment, not until he brought out a ring.My eyes were lost as the scenes replayed in my head.It was the exact same ring that Raymond had used to propose to me.When Ethan brought out the ring, the smile on my face slowly faded away. My mind drifted to the event at the park, how I was humiliated by Jasmine. The image of her showing me the ring that Raymond gave to her, which was supposed to be mine.I’d wager Jasmine knew that was the same ring Raymond gave me.Raymond had proposed to me with that same ring, promising me our future together, and how he would take care of m
ADRIANNAMorning came quite fast. The morning sun hitting my face from the open-window. I groaned as I sat up on my bed. I woke up with a splitting headache and body pain.I had a lot of things to do today, i was finally able to resume work and i also had to meet Ethan in the evening.I yawned as I stood up from the bed, walking groggily to the bathroom.I quickly brushed my teeth.As I stepped into the shower, the icy water slapped me awake. I gasped, my skin recoiling from the shock. It felt like a thousand tiny needles pricking at me, making me shiver uncontrollably.The water pounded against my skin, a relentless drumbeat that was both soothing and punishing. I felt alive, like every nerve ending was firing at once.For a moment, I forgot everything else. The stress, the worries, the weight of the world. It was just me, the water, and the cold.When I was done, I came out of the bathroom, freezing and shivering from the cold.I walked over to my wardrobe, searching for what to we
ADRIANNAIt was awkward. The ride to the coffee shop was really awkward. It was really silent, like no one said anything at all. The silence was so profound that a pin drop could be heard.I sat in the back seat, while one of the bodyguards sat in the driver's seat and the other sat in the passenger’s seat. He looked like a passenger princess.I laughed at that thought.I didn’t even know how loud I laughed until the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat turned back to look at me.He looked puzzled.“I’m so sorry” I said as I tried to compose myself.He just looked at me, then turned around to face the road.Well that was rude, he would have at least acknowledged that i apologized.I leaned forward.“So ehm, what are your names?” I asked as I looked at both of them.They looked at each other.The one who was driving spoke first. “My name’s Roland ma’am” he said as he looked forward.I looked over at the other man, awaiting his answer. “Darka ma’am” he finally replied.“Uhh that’s a
ADRIANNA My eyes fluttered shut as Ethan’s lips met mine. I swear I felt butterflies in my belly at that instant. It was breathtaking. Both of our tongues fought for dominance but I eventually submitted and gave in.He sucked on my lips and I moaned. It felt so good. His lips tasted sweet like strawberries, and his scent, oh my gosh.He smelt like citrus. He smelled wonderful, and I could feel my mind spiraling out of control. Ethan kissed me so passionately that my legs instantly became weak, and I felt like a puddle. I could stand straight anymore. If not for his hands on my waist, I was sure I would have fallen flat to the ground right now.After a few seconds, Ethan broke the kiss, our body very close to each other and panting heavily. We were both out of breath, our chest rising up and going down.It was a lot. “I_i_i” I tried to speak but was totally out of breath.Ethan moved his hand to my face, and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “Breathtaking Adrianna” he said, his
ETHAN“Oh my gosh! Ethan this is so cool” i watched Adrianna splash the water with her feet. Her golden features shine bright like the sun or even better.She looked so beautiful, with her hair falling in front of her face as she jumped around the ocean, excitement evident in her face and body movements. Never had I been with a woman as beautiful as her.She was breathtaking, and could pass as an angel.I was so happy and satisfied that I had brought her here. “Come on!” She waved at me to come over. I walked closer to her admiring the beauty that was my wife.I couldn’t wait to actually get married to her. I wanted her to be mine. All mine. I wanted her to walk around high and mighty while the was called the name Mrs. GreeneI wanted to be around her every single hour, minute, second. I wanted her to be all up in my skin.I wanted to give her my attention twenty four hours, seven days a week.And most of all I wanted her to call me her husband. The thought of it excited me. To wake
ADRIANNA About twenty minutes passed. Ethan and i were all chatty and laughing, then the waiter walked in with a platter. Two other waiters followed behind him. He dropped the platter on the table, and the others followed to do the same, arranging them in order.I marveled at the dish before me. My eyes and mouth watered. It was then that i actually knew i was hungry, as i heard my stomach growl.“This looks delicious” i looked up at Ethan with eyes that spelled hunger.Ethan chuckled. “I’m glad” he nodded to the waiters and they bowed and turned around to leave.“Will it taste as delicious as it looks” i said to myself as the aroma of the delicacy in front of me traveled straight to my nose. I looked up at Ethan to catch him staring at me. My cheeks instantly became hot.“Wh_why are you staring?” I asked, blushing as I looked back down.“Hm, let’s just say I love to stare at my wife’s beautiful face,” he said, and I looked up to find him smirking.“Let’s eat” he added and right aft
ADRIANNA Ethan held my hand as we walked out of the building. Eyes were on us, but I couldn’t care one bit as all I cared about was his soft but firm hands that held me so tightly, like he never wanted to let me go.We walked to the parking lot, and Ethan brought out a key from his pocket, which I figured was a car key. He held it towards a car, and it made a beeping sound. Ethan walked me to the passenger’s door, and opened it for me, watching me as I entered before closing the door. He turned around and walked to the other side. He entered, and I muttered a thank you.“You’re welcome” he smiled and started the engine. He drove out of the parking lot, and we were on our way to whatever Ethan had in store for me. *****A large building came into view. It was painted in a cream color. A gigantic signboard was hung at the top of the building. It read ‘Dolce Italia’. I stared at it for a while, trying to figure out what it meant. The word Italia sounded like Italy, but I couldn’t fi
ADRIANNA I walked out of Mr. Collins office, slamming the door behind me. I let out a deep breath.“Glad that’s settled” I muttered, and sighed in relief. I began to walk towards the exit of the building, while also bringing out my phone to give Raymond a call.“Hello?” I said, placing the phone to my ear.A voice from the other side replied. “Adrianna” he called, yawning.I guess he was still sleeping. I scoffed, what a fool.“Raymond,” I began.“I have submitted the papers to my lawyer, and we have been instructed to meet in court in four days”I didn’t wait to hear his reply before ending the call. I didn’t want to ruin my mood, I had a date to go to.My lips slowly curled up in a smile at that instant. I was going on a date with Ethan. The thought still excited me as much as it did in the morning.Remembering that Ethan had asked me to give him a call, I dialed his number and took the phone to my ear. “Mi Amor” he said, picking after the first ring. I blushed hard at what he cal
ADRIANNA I watched him walk out of my room, closing the door behind him.“I’m going on a date!” I let out a little scream in excitement as I turned around and ran to my bed. I jumped on it, careful to not land dangerously on my belly, and screamed into the pillow.“Oh I need to wear something very nice,” I said, as I sat up.“Like a dress,” I added.I stood up from my bed, and walked towards my wardrobe, but stopped.“I need to take a shower first” i said, and with that, i took off my clothes and walked into the bathroom.Not wanting to waste a lot of time, I quickly had my bath and came out shortly after. I dried my body with a towel, applied lotion, and walked to my wardrobe.“Hmm, okay what would I want to wear?” I said, as I searched through my tons of clothes. I also had to consider the fact that I was going to see the lawyer first, before eventually meeting Ethan. So, I had to wear something that was simple, but also unique and cute to go on a date with.I brought out a gown t
ADRIANNA THE NEXT DAYThe gentle knock on the door made my eyelids slowly flutter open.I tried to take in the background and everywhere, my eyes adjusted to the bright lights.The knock on the door came up again.“I’m coming” I muttered, as I stood up from the bed, and sat at the edge of the bed to get my balance before I moved.I yawned and stretched, before I stood up and walked towards the door. I held the doorknob, and turned the lock the other way to open it. With sleepy eyes, I slowly opened the door, and held my head out to see who was standing outside my door. My sleepy eyes immediately vanished, and were replaced with excitement, as I opened the door wider.“Ethan?” I said, as I took my hand to my eye, giving it a little scratch.“Good morning wife” he greeted me, excitement laced in his tone.“Good morning,” I replied.He walked into my room, and closed the door behind him, immediately enveloping me in a hug, his warmth soothing.He released me after a few seconds, and
ADRIANNA “Adrianna?” I heard someone call my name.I tried to turn around to see who that was, but all I saw was darkness.Pitch black.“Hmm”“Hmm?”“Hmm” I tried to let out words, but only murmuring sounds came out.It wasn’t until I felt a little push, that my eyes slowly started to open. I blinked at the blur I saw out, and I was starting to see clearly.The corner of my eyes was locked on a figure, and when I slowly turned my head, Ethan was standing beside me, his two hands crossed to his chest.“Adrianna?” He asked, his face laced with worry.“Hmm?” I made a sound, as I tried to sit up.“Aw” I let out a painful sound, as I felt a sharp pain in my neck area.Ethan rushed to me, and held my shoulders, worry evident in his tone and face.“Are you okay?” He asked, as he gently helped me sit up.I nodded, trying to get myself.“I_i guess I slept off, I was really tired,” I said, as Ethan helped me stand up.“I ate a few minutes ago, and I was too tired to move,” I added as I pointe
ADRIANNA“You’re welcome Adrianna” she said with a smile.“You’re always welcome” she added, as she stood up from her seat to give me a hug.I leaned in, enveloped by the warmth. It really felt so good.We chatted for a little while before I decided to go home. I bid her farewell and walked out of her office to the counter, where my purse and the papers were.I picked them up, and told my coworkers goodbye, and walked out of the coffee shop. I quickly stopped a taxi and hopped in, giving the driver my address.I needed to go home immediately, I was starving. I didn’t even eat breakfast before I left because I was very nervous. We got to the mansion after a while, and I paid the driver his money and came down.The giant gate opened after I rang the doorbell. I walked in and then straight into the entrance, not even looking around.Anna was already standing by the doorway. She walked closer to me and collected my purse and the papers from my hand.“Welcome Mrs. Greene” she said and I lo
