Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 23: BODYGUARDS
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

ETHAN“Has he done it?” I said as I placed the phone over my ear with my left hand, my right hand holding the paperwork.“Yes boss” I heard from the other side of the phone.“Good, make sure he doesn’t say anything” i said.“And if he does, end him” I said as i ended the call.I walked over to my desk and took a seat. I placed a call through to my secretary, she came in a few minutes later.“Hand this over to the production team” I said as I handed her the paperwork.“Yes sir” she replied as she took her leave.I watched her as she exited the office, her back disappearing from view.I recline my seat, getting more comfortable. I loosened my tie and adjusted my shirt a little bit for fresh air.Just then, I received a call.I picked up my phone from the table and looked at the caller id.It read Adrianna.I sat upright as I picked the call, placing it close to my ear.“Hi Ethan” I heard her say over the phone, my heart beaming with joy at the sound of her voice.I tried to compose myse

ADRIANNA I couldn’t believe he would do such a thing, that was a low blow, even for someone like him. I had just ended the call on him after he told me that he was the one who ordered his men to beat that man up.This was disheartening.I stood there wondering how in the first place did he find out about the incident and all that had happened. I hadn’t even seen him in the whole two months that I was chased out of the house by Raymond.I needed to talk to his men.I turned around and looked outside, expecting to see his men standing at attention, but they were no longer there. I could see their car, and just at that very moment I heard the car engine start.Wait? Were they leaving? I haven’t asked them about what happened.I quickly removed the apron from my neck, and dropped it on the counter.I hastened my steps as I began to walk out of the coffee shop, but it was too late, the car had started moving.I tried to call their attention, screaming at the top of my lungs.“Hey, come ba

ADRIANNA “What is it Ethan?” I asked as he finally let me go.He had dragged me out of the coffee shop, and we were now standing in front of his car.“Get in,” he said as he opened the car door for me.“Well I don’t want to,” I said as I stood akimbo.He looked up at me, and took a deep long breath.“Get in Adrianna, or I will put you on my shoulders and carry you in myself” he said again, this time walking closer to me.“Okay okay fine” I said, raising my hand up in defeat.I entered the car.I watched as he walked over to the driver’s side and entered, taking a seat.He brought out the key from his pocket, and started the car shortly after.Where exactly was he taking me to?I looked at him, as he began to drive. He looked back at me and I quickly looked away. I was still supposed to be angry at him.I sat there, arms crossed, with a frown on my face as I looked straight at the road.My plan was to not talk to him, no matter what he says. I tried to steal a glance or two at him, a

ADRIANNA Did I just hear him say he did a background check on me?I stood up immediately, moving back, my mouth still left open and shocked.He stood up and moved closer to me, but I stopped him immediately as I held my hand forward signaling for him to stop.“I have to go,” I said as I moved back and turned around.“Adrianna…” I heard him say as I continued walking out.“Please wait” he said as I heard his footsteps trail behind me.“What is it?” I said as I took a pause.“First you beat up a person to the extent that he is not able to speak properly and now i am finding out that you did a background check on me” i said as i turned around to face him, my gaze furious.“What more did you find out?” I asked as I crossed my arms.“At this point I am sure you have heard about how I was chased out of the house right?” I said as pain flashes through my eyes.He looked up at him, his body stiff and eyes holding confusion.“What do you mean chased out of the house” he said as he moved close

ADRIANNAThe question came unexpectedly, it came like a blow.How was I going to tell him that the reason I ran out was because he proposed to me with a ring that looked identical to the one that Raymond also used to propose to me, and I just couldn’t bear the pain of seeing that, the memories that flooded through my mind.I released my hands from his grip, as i moved backwards and made my back rest on the chair.I heaved a sigh.Memories just came flooding back. I couldn’t understand why I was always brought to tears whenever I thought about it. It wasn’t supposed to hurt this much, but the pain was just too much for me to bear.Thinking about the time I wasted, my whole two years loving Raymond, only for him to betray me and act like he never loved me, like we had never spent the last three years getting to know each other.“Adrianna…” I heard Ethan say, bringing me out of my thoughts.“What?” I asked as I looked at him.“You are crying” he said as he brought his hand closer to my f

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

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

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

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

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

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!
