Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 30: UNEXPECTED 2
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

ADRIANNATWO DAYS LATERIt’s been two days since I last talked to Ethan. I had been avoiding his numerous calls, and had not been paying attention to his texts.He had sent Roland and Darka countless times to meet me but I always just ignored them and walked out.I looked up at the wall clock that was hanging in my room. It was currently nine in the morning, and i needed to be at the doctor’s office in an hour, that is by ten, and i had not even had my bath.The doctor had called me in for a check up. I needed to know how my baby was doing and to also check up on my health.I groaned as I stood up from the bed. I had begun to feel unnecessarily weak and tired, and all I just wanted to do was lay down on the bed and sleep for hours. But I knew that wasn’t going to be possible. So with my tired body, I struggled to stand up from my bed and groggily walked into the bathroom to have my bath.The bath was soothing and quick.I came out of the bathroom, shivering and with my teeth chatterin

Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 94: THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE
ADRIANNAI just wanted to take a power nap, and i ended up sleeping for four hours straight. I thought power naps were supposed to be for about thirty minutes to an hour? How in the world did I sleep through the morning and into lunch time? Recently i have been sleeping a lot, and i guess it was because of the pregnancy. I didn’t even know if i was to be happy or sad about it.It definitely had its advantages and disadvantages. I mean, I was having enough rest, but…. It was tiring to always wake up feeling more tired than before I slept. And with Ethan back to work, I was constantly almost, always alone, except when Anna came to keep me company. But she also has things to do like taking care of the house, with the other maids. So I spent little time with her. I yawned as I got out of bed, stretching out my arms and whole body. I had to go take a shower. I needed to go see Theresa. We haven’t spoken in a long while, and I was kind of excited to see how she would react when I tell her

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
Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 92: SURPRISE MERGER
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
Betrayed by my ex, Loved by his brother 87: THE DESIRE TO REVENGE
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
