Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 18: I GAVE HIM A CALL
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“What do you mean you will be killed if you tell me who did this to you?” I asked as I moved closer to him.I needed to understand what was happening, someone did this to him and threatened him not to disclose who that was?“Yes ma’am, I don’t want to die” he said, his hands shaking and lips trembling.I could feel fear gripping him.“It’s okay, it’s okay” I said as I urged him to calm down.I moved closer and took a seat beside him.I knew I was not supposed to feel pity for him, or guilt, because of what he did to me, but this was just too much.It was hard not to feel pity. His face was badly bruised, his mouth swollen, he could hardly keep his left eye open.“Look,” I said.“You need to tell me who did this to you,” I said.He looked up at me.“I can’t ma’am. I don’t even know who it is” he said.I looked at him puzzled.What did he mean by he didn’t even know who did this to him? He literally just said someone threatened him not to tell me who beat him up like this.“I d

Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 65: A PLAYFUL FIGHT
ETHANI watched as she stood there with a smile on her face. I knew she was really happy to see me. I parked the car, and turned off the engine, stepping down and walking over to where she stood.“Hi Wife” I called her. She blushed, as she looked up at me.“S…stop that. You know how that makes me feel” she said, her cheeks crimson red.“I know, that’s why I do it,” I replied to her with a wide smile. I moved closer to her, giving her a hug, and a light kiss on her forehead.I released her from the hug, and took her hand in mine.“I see you have met the new maid”“Your personal maid”“Anna is it?” I turned to the lady standing beside her, trying to remember her name.She slightly bowed.“Yes Mr. Greene. I’m Anna, Mrs. Greene’s personal maid” she replied.I nodded with a smile and turned back to Adrianna.“You like her?” I whispered to her, as I saw that Anna was still bowing down.“Ethan, don’t do that, she is right here!” She said, as she used her soft, delicate hand to hit my shoul
Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 64: OUT IN THE GARDEN
ADRIANNA “Welcome Anna” I cleaned her tears with the back of my palm. I held her palm in my hand, as I urged her to stand up and come sit close to me on the bed.“Isn’t that disrespectful? I mean i am your maid” she shook her head, as she tried to understand what was going on.I let out a little laugh. “Come on Anna, for now, you are not my maid, you are my friend, a lovely friend that I just met a few minutes ago,” I said, with a smile.“Now come sit” I added, and after hesitating for a while, she finally sat down. I took my hand forward, and leaned towards her, properly cleaning her face smeared with tears. “It’s okay to feel sad sometimes, but don’t let it get to you, okay?”“I know your parents would be so happy wherever they are. They would be so happy that you never gave up” i said, as I held her hands, giving it a gentle rub.“They would be so proud of little Anna,” I added, with a wide smile on my face.I couldn’t understand what I was feeling at that very moment, but I felt
Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 63: PERSONAL MAID
ADRIANNA THE NEXT DAY I cracked my eyes open as I heard a knock on the door. I squinted my eyes, as I tried to adjust to the morning light. I looked around me for my phone. It was on the nightstand. I stretched forward to take it, when I heard a knock again, confirming that someone was really at the door. Who could that be? “Coming!” I voiced, as I tried to sit up and stand up from the bed. I walked over to the door, held the doorknob, and opened it. Standing in front of me was a woman, who looked so young and beautiful. She looked to be about four years younger than me, that would be twenty. She held a tray in her hand, and in that tray contained different foods. “Good morning Mrs. Greene” she said, as she slightly bowed, giving me a smile. Mrs. Greene? It was then I took notice of her dressing. She wore a beautiful gown that had white stripes at the neck area and at the bottom of her dress. This looked to be a maid’s dress and it was quite different from the one I saw the
Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 62: LUNCH
ADRIANNA “Come have a seat love” I heard Ethan say as I descended the stairs, walking towards the dining. As I reached the bottom step, the savory aroma of roasted chicken and herbs filled the air, enveloping me like a warm hug. My mouth watered immediately, and my stomach protested with a louder rumble. Pregnancy had amplified my senses, and the scent of food was almost unbearable. I followed the irresistible fragrance to the dining room, where he stood by the table, a gentle smile on his face. His eyes sparkled as he watched me approach, and I felt my heart flutter. “Here” he said, as he pushed out a chair for me to sit on. I smiled my heart giddy with joy for this gentleman. “Thank you” I muttered as I sat down. I watched him walk over and took a seat opposite me. “I…i smell chicken” i said, my eyes lit with excitement. Ethan chucked, letting out a little laugh right after. “What’s funny?” I pouted as I held a light frown on my face, my arms crossed to look like I wa
Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 61: MY ROOM
ADRIANNA “We’re here Adrianna” I heard Ethan say as I looked out of the window. I nodded as I tried to blink back the little tears that threatened to stream down my eyes. I couldn’t understand why I was crying, or what I was feeling at that very moment, but I knew that I felt at peace.The car stopped, then honked for the gate to be opened. It took a few seconds, but the giant black gate was finally opened, and Roland drove us in, the truck trailing behind us.I watched with excitement as we drove past the lovely flowers, and my favorite one, Marigold. I was so happy that I was going to see these flowers often now. The car came to a stop in the driveway, and we all came down from the car. Darka, signaled for the truck to be packed where it was, and instantly we began to offload the truck. This took us about an hour to clear out everything, and we were finally done. We bid the truck men and the driver goodbye as they drove out of the mansion. “Finally” I said, as I cleaned the swea
Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 60: MOVING IN
ADRIANNA “How about you move in with me next tomorrow?” Ethan asked out of nowhere. We were still on the way to my house.“Wait what??” I asked, my eyes wide opened. I mean I knew I would have to move into his place soon, but I didn't know it had to be this soon. I had expected that to be in like a week or two because I realized I still had a lot of things to pack.“I mean, don’t you think it would be better to move in now? At least I will be able to take care of you as much as I want” he replied to me with a smile. Well he did have a point, but two days? Would I even be able to finish packing up everything?“B…but that is too soon, i still have a lot to pack up, it might take a while” i said, looking up at him.“Well that is if you are the only one doing everything. I could call Roland and Darka to help, and I can also be of assistance.” He replied almost immediately.“But would Roland and Darka agree?” I asked, confused.“They would be happy to,” he responded.“Okay” I said, as I l

ADRIANNA We arrived at the hospital in five minutes, and I came down from the taxi and paid the driver his money. I walked towards the entrance stepping into the hospital building.I headed straight to the reception.“Good morning” I greeted the receptionist with a smile.She looked up, away from the computer that sat in front of her.“Ohh welcome ma’am” she responded to me with a smile as she saw me.“I’m here to see Dr. Smith” I said, as I placed my hand on the counter.“Please give me a second ma’am” she replied, as she took the business phone to her ear.Shortly after, she signaled for me to go in. I gave her a smile as I nodded.I walked towards Dr. Smith’s office with a wide smile on my face. I stood in front of the door, giving it a gentle knock.“Come in” I heard.I moved my hand forward, holding the door knob. I twisted it, and it opened. I stepped in, greeted Dr. Smith, then took a seat.“Oh Adrianna, what brings you here?” She asked me, with a smile on her face.“Hi Dr. Sm

ADRIANNAThe sun was blinding, as I tried to blink my eyes open. I groaned as I tried to sit up.“Argh!” I let out a light sound, as I felt a sharp pain in my head.What was this pain I was feeling? My head was banging. It felt like a heavy stone had been placed on it. I tried my best to stand up, but I couldn't.I really had to go to work today to explain to my manager why I couldn't stay till the end of my shift. Yesterday after the kiss, Ethan had instructed Roland to go help me bring my belongings and my keys.My mind drifted back to what happened yesterday.The kiss.I let out a smile, as the memory of his soft lips on mine came to my vision.“Uhh” I blushed as I gently hit the mattress with my tiny fingers.“Ethan, what are you doing to me?” I asked myself, trying to stop myself from blushing.I needed to stop thinking about what happened yesterday. It was really unhealthy.I tried to stand up to prepare for work.“Oh shit!!” I exclaimed, as I was forced to sit back down, becaus

ADRIANNA What was I going to do? How could I stop him now? All these questions were flying through my mind in seconds. I couldn’t let him drive away, if i did, there would be no way to stop him.“Wait!” I screamed, as I ran in front of his car, just in time to stop him from starting the engine.“Ethan, please stop! Just calm down”“It’s not worth it, I assure you” I said, as I stood, my arms wide open.Ethan took his hand away from the keys, and opened the car door, stepping down.“Adrianna please, step aside,” Ethan said, as he walked towards me.“I have to go see him,” he added, as he held my shoulders, to gently move me away from the road.“No, no” I said, as I moved back into the position.“Listen, he is not worth it. Just let him be for now”“Please Ethan! I don’t want you to do something you would regret later” i said to him, as I moved closer to him.I placed one of my hands on his chest, and slightly stood on my toe, to be able to touch his face.Damn! He was really tall.I t
