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

ETHANThe room fell silent, as if the air had been sucked out of it. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut."Excuse me?" I asked, trying to process the information.My secretary nodded, her eyes wide with concern. "Yes, sir. It's all over the news. OmniCorp's CEO, Rachel Lee, has announced a merger with NovaTech, our largest competitor."The room erupted into chaos, with shareholders shouting questions and concerns. I slammed my fist on the table, calling for order."Let's not jump to conclusions," I said, trying to regain control of the situation. "We need to understand the implications of this merger and how it affects our proposal."Mr. Johnson stood up, his face red with anger. "This changes everything," he said. "We can't compete with NovaTech's resources and market share."Mrs. Patel nodded in agreement. "We need to reconsider our strategy and prioritize damage control."I nodded, taking a deep breath. "I agree. Let's assemble a team to analyze the situation and come up with a

ETHANI stepped down from the car, straightening up my suit as best as I could. Mary had called me to let me know that the shareholders were now seated, and waiting for me to address them. I walked into my company, waving past the receptionist that had a wide smile on her face. Everything had to be in order, and i dare not fuck it up. I took the elevator up to my office. Immediately I got in, I gathered the rest of the file that I left in the office days ago, and headed to the boardroom. As I stepped into the boardroom, I was met with the piercing eyes of people who had invested their trust and money in me and my company. Ryan was also seated beside an empty chair, which was supposed to be where i would sit. I walked over to him, and took a seat.“Can we have a talk later?” I whispered to him. He looked at me for a few seconds, and then turned to face the other way.I guess that meant yes. I stood up, took a deep breath, and adjusted my tie. Time to deliver. “Ladies and gentlemen”

ETHAN“Damnit Ethan! When did all this happen?”“How could you keep something like this from me?”“I thought we were best friends” Ryan let out all these words, screaming at the top of his lungs. I knew he was seriously angry with me. I kept this away from him for months, without the intention of telling him, and now I was feeling so bad. “Well technically, she isn’t my wife yet, not until after the divorce” I said, clearing my throat.“Divorce???” Ryan said, his tone evident of so much confusion. “Ethan, what are all these about?”“I am so pissed right now”“So this was what you were hiding from me all along? I knew something was off with you, but marriage? Divorce?”“This, I didn’t expect,” he said.The other side of the phone was silent for a while, and when I was about to speak, I was interrupted.“Let’s even leave out the fact that you are married, or about to get married, i don’t care!”“You kept this away from me? Your best friend?”“At this point, I don't even think you take

ETHAN I liked the little effects I had on her. I liked that Adrianna was flushed red in front of me. My little princess. My big baby. She was the air that I breathe. “I’m angry with you” she said, slapping my hand away from her chin. I let out a little smile. “I know that, and I am here to apologize,” I said as I sat down on her bed, my weight pressing down on her soft mattress. “What would you like me to do for you?” “I’ll do anything” I said, and her eyes widened in excitement. “Really?” She asked as she adjusted herself on the bed. “Yes babe” I planted a soft gentle peck on her forehead, making her shiver a little beneath me. “Don’t_don’t call me that” she complained, her voice terribly low, but a little audible enough for me to hear. “Call you what? Babe?” I acted like I didn't know exactly what she was talking about. “I shouldn’t call you babe?” She nodded. “But you are my baby” I planted a kiss on her right hand. “Whatever!” She scoffed and I couldn't help but sm

ADRIANNA I walked out of the bathroom, drenched in little droplets of water. drying off my body, with my towel that was placed on the stand, I walked over to my wardrobe, and took out a cute nightgown that had yellow flowery designs on it. I hesitated at first, trying to see if it was something i would love to wear downstairs, as Ethan had instructed or rather begged that I come eat dinner with him downstairs.I giggled at that. “Hmm, doesn’t matter” I uttered as I stared at myself and the nightgown in the mirror. I quickly put it on, and arranged my hair in a cute messy bun. I slid into my bunny shaped flip flops, and hastily walked out of my room, not forgetting to take my phone, and also slamming the door behind me. I still hadn’t told Ethan the news, and that was exactly what i was going to do right after dinner. Descending down the stairs, i met Ethan already seated, with Anna standing right behind him. In front of him was a plate that was already filled with food. My eyebrows

ADRIANNA TWO DAYS LATER“Alright Mrs. Greene. You’re free to go now” the doctor announced, and I couldn’t help but almost leap in excitement, ignoring the little pain I still felt in my stomach area.“Thank you” i shook his hand.Just like the doctor had said, i was able to be up on my feet in two days and the pain in my belly had reduced. Although, i hadn’t made a full recovery, i was still able to leap for joy when the doctor announced that i would be discharged today.Ethan had also made sure he brought everything i needed, and anything that would make me comfy and i was so grateful for that. “Let’s go” Ethan tapped me on the shoulder, and i nodded, following behind him as he led the way outside. We got out of my hospital room, and I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.“Feels good to be out soon” i whispered as i stretched. “It does right?” Ethan asked with a wide smile on his face. “Now let’s go home, so you can rest a lot more”We walked out of the hospital, and in fro

ADRIANNA The beeping sound woke me up. I tried to adjust to the burning light as I slowly opened my eyes. It wasn’t hard to figure out that I was in a hospital because of the white walls and the beeping monitor. I struggled to sit up but i felt too weak to even move my fingers. Turning my head to the side, i found Ethan sitting on a chair. His eyes closed and his head bowed like he was sleeping.“Ethan” i tried to call his name, but only a whisper came out. My throat felt dry, like I hadn’t drank water in days.I looked around and down at my hands. There was an iv drip connected to my hand. I waited for a little while, gathering the little strength I could muster. I took my left hand to my right hand and slowly ripped off the iv drip.I tried to stand up, but I failed again. My legs, too weak to move.Ethan must have heard my ragged breathing and painful moan, because he quickly stood up from the chair and rushed to me.“Adrianna? What are you doing? You have to stay in bed. You hav

ADRIANNAA large building came into view. We were now in front of the court. Roland drove around and parked in a car park, and right after, Ethan stepped out and opened the door for me. I stepped down and stood in front of the court.“Well here we go!” I let out a really deep breath that I didn't know I had been holding. I began to walk into the courtroom with Ethan behind me. As I stepped in, I sighted Mr. Collins at the corner. I waved at him, and watched as he walked towards me.“Good Morning Mrs. Greene” he began as he slightly bowed, and took my hand in for a shake.“Trust you had a wonderful night?” He added.I shook his hand with a smile on my face. “I sure did” I tried not to appear tense.Mr. Collins released my hand from his, and looked over my shoulders before looking back at me. “And who might this be?” He slightly nodded his head behind me. I turned around to figure out what he was talking about, and I immediately let out a smile.“Oh this is Ethan Greene”“Raymond’s br

ADRIANNATWO DAYS LATERI stared out the window as I held my chest, trying to soothe the tensed up pain I felt.This was really happening. It was the day of the divorce. I would finally be cutting ties with Raymond. I had really anticipated this day and I was definitely excited when the days were coming close, but now that it was here, I was… I think scared.I knew I wasn't supposed to be scared but for some reason, I was. A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. I took my hand away from my pounding chest and adjusted myself on my bed.“Come in,” I said. The door clicked open, and Ethan poked his head inside. “You sure I can come in?” He said, with uncertainty in his tone.I nodded with a little smile on my face. He opened the door wider and stepped in, walking closer to my bed. I stretched out my hand to the chair by my bedside and Ethan took a seat.“So” he began.“Today’s the day” he said and I nodded. “How do you feel?”I stared up at him, before turning my head down
