Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 29: UNEXPECTED 1
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

ADRIANNAEthan released me from the hug, and moved back.“I’m so sorry all this happened to you, and I wasn’t there for you” he said.I still sat there, my mind lost and foggyWhat just happened?Oh my, oh my, why was my heart beating so fast?I could hear how loud my heart was beating, I wasn’t even joking.Everywhere was drop dead silent.Was I supposed to feel this way?No no no.I moved back so suddenly that if i wasn’t careful enough, i would have landed on the cold hard floor.“Ehm y…yea y…y…yes” I stammered as I tried to gather myself together.I raised my hand to my face and touched my cheeks. I could feel it hot and burning.My eyes widened in shock. What was happening?“I..i have to go Ethan, i just r…remembered i have something im…important to do” i said as i immediately stood up from the bench.“Why? Did something happen?” I heard him say as I turned around.“No! Not at all, just have something to do at home” i said, still backing him.I didn’t want to look at him at all,

ETHANONE WEEK LATER“Ryan, where the freaking hell are you?” I said immediately he picked the call.“We have a board meeting in ten minutes, and you know how important this is for us,” I said as I began to pace around the office.“I’m coming Ethan, you know this is all your fault, so please do not rush me. I will get to the office soon” Ryan said on the other side of the phone.I stood there, looking confused.“How the h*ll is it my fault Ryan?” I asked.“Are you seriously asking me Ethan? Really?” Ryan said. From his tone, I knew that he was very angry.“Ethan, if you had just come to the office that day, we wouldn't be doing this. By now the investors would have agreed to work with us. But no! You just had to miss that very important day.” He said.I stopped pacing around, my hand gripping my phone tightly.I tried to calm down.“Ryan… i have already apologized to you already, something really important came up that day” i said over the phone.“But you knew how important it was fo

ETHANI stared at my phone for a good five seconds, before I finally moved.“I have to pick this Ryan, I will be back” I said as I stood up, walking out of the office.I didn’t want Ryan to know who I was talking to or even listen to my conversation.I walked far away from my office, taking a look at the distance and was sure that even if Ryan burst out through that door at any moment, he won’t still be able to hear anything.I looked at my phone, and it was still ringing.I took a deep breath and picked the call, placing the phone slowly to my ear. But immediately I did that, my heart froze and my eyes widened.I stood there, not even able to comprehend what was happening.Was she crying?I had just picked up the call, and the first thing I heard was Adrianna’s sniffle.My mind began to race. What had happened and what had made her cry?“Adrianna, what is wrong?” I asked her as I began to pace around, my face laced with worry.“Why are you crying?” I asked when I didn't get a respons

ADRIANNA“I…i saw Jasmine today” i said as i looked up at him, tears streaming down my eyes.Ethan looked at me confused. I knew he couldn’t understand. He just wouldn’t understand.The pain I was feeling at this very moment was seconds to none.He took my right hand in his and looked at me deep in my eyes.“What happened?” He asked as he looked at me.I tried to calm down, using my other hand to clean my tears that refused to stop.I didn’t know if telling him what happened was the right thing, knowing how he is. But I just couldn’t hide it anymore, I needed someone to talk to, and I only had him.“Jasmine came to the coffee shop today” I began my voice low but I knew he could hear me perfectly well.“I don’t know if she just came to get coffee, not knowing i worked there or she came to mock me” i said as fresh tears began to stream down my eyes.Ethan stretched his hand towards my face and wiped my tears with the back of his hands.I gave him a smile. “T…thank you” I said.“So, she

ADRIANNA“Yes, I need to divorce Raymond,” I said as I looked at Ethan.“I am still legally married to him, even if it lasted just a day”“In order for us to get married, I need to divorce Raymond,” I said as I pointed at the both of us.Ethan gave a nod.I sighed and reclined back into the car seat, closing my eyes.I needed to breathe.“So, why have you been ignoring my calls and texts?” I heard Ethan say, making me snap my eyes open with speed.Oh shit! About that.“No I wasn't,” I said as I sat up.“Yes you were,” he replied almost immediately.“I have to go, my break is over!!” I instantly said as I quickly opened the door and jumped out of the car.“Wait… you’ve still not answered me” I heard Ethan say as I ran into the coffee shop.Heck yea, i have no explanation to give you.“Phew” I sighed as I tried to calm down, my chest heaving.I took a look around and there were customers seated. Some were smiling, laughing and having conversations with each other, while others were just

ADRIANNA Ethan moved back slowly, as he looked at me, his eyes never leaving mine.I sat there, still frozen in place at what just happened.“I’m sorry” I heard Ethan say as he looked at me.“You’re sorry?” I replied almost immediately, my brows furrowed in confusion.I had not expected it to happen, so there was no way I could have avoided it.“We…we talked about this Ethan” I said as I looked at him.The frown evident on my face.“I know Adrianna, i just…” he said as he looked at me.“No intimacy” I said as I moved back away from him.I held the door handle tightly, my hand firm and never leaving it.“I’m sorry Adrianna, i just couldn’t help it” Ethan said as he tried to move closer to me.I moved back instantly, as I pushed my hand forward stopping him from coming any closer.“Well you should have tried harder” I said and with that I opened the car door and came down from the car, looking around to see if there were any available taxis around.I signaled for one which I saw was fr

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
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

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!
