ADRIANNA

“Hi” I heard from the other side of the phone.

“Hello Ethan,” I said.

“Hello” Ethan replied, but his voice sounded off and awfully low.

I tried to ignore it.

“Ehm i saw your texts and missed calls” i said.

“Yea, that i left two days ago” he replied.

I kept quiet and just kept staring at my fingers. I didn’t have anything to say, nor did I know what to say.

This was getting awkward.

“Ehm, just wanted to say hi i guess” i said as i stood up from the chair and walked out of the counter.

“Okay” he said.

“I have to go now,” he added.

I stood there, in front of the counter, not even knowing what to say. I don’t know why, but I felt sad and hurt. I felt sad with the way he was replying to me and my heart just couldn’t take it.

“Ohh”

“That’s alright” I said.

The other side of the phone was silent for a while before I got a response.

“Yes, bye” Ethan said, and with that he ended the call.

I slowly took the phone away from my ear, and just kept staring at the phone screen.

    ADRIANNA “Is something wrong?” I asked as I looked over at him.He shook his head to signal a no, but I knew that was a lie.Obviously, he was not smiling all of a sudden.“Please talk to me,” I said.He turned his head to look at me and looked back at the road.“I just”“I just don’t like that you are going to see Raymond” he said.After he said that, I looked at him and immediately, I didn’t even know when I started laughing out loud.He looked over at me, his face laced with confusion and I was sure his mind kept asking him why I was laughing.“I…I’m sorry” I said, trying to stop myself from laughing even more.“What’s wrong? Did I say something funny?” He asked, confused.I stretched my palm in a stop motion, signaling for him to hold on for a while as I had to catch my breath and stop laughing.When I calmed down, I answered him.“Yes technically” I said as I gave a little giggle.“How is that funny?” He asked almost immediately.I was about to reply to him, when I noticed he ma

    ADRIANNA TWO DAYS LATERIt’s the day.My eyes sprang open as I lay on the bed. I had been struggling to sleep the night before, because I kept thinking about this day and how it was going to unfold.Was I really ready for this? I had no idea.Was I ready to face Raymond? I did not know.Was I scared? Definitely.But will I back down? Obviously not.I sat up from my bed and took a deep breath, taking both of my hands to my face.“I got this” I muttered to myself as I stood up.I took off my nightwear as I walked into the bathroom to have my bath.The running water was calm and soothing and helped me a lot to calm my nerves.When I was done, I came out of the bathroom, the droplets of water hitting the floor.I quickly cleaned myself up and looked for a cloth to wear. I wanted something simple and comfortable and also something that could hide my growing bump, because I didn't want him to know I was pregnant.I looked through my closet and found a beautiful gown that looked so good. *

    ADRIANNA I felt a little force as I was held by my elbow and turned around.“Wait Adrianna”“I still love you” I heard Raymond say and my face immediately contoured in disgust.“Get your filthy hands of me!” I screamed as i forcefully pulled my arm away from his grip.“You know what Raymond?” I began, his disgusting name rolling out of my mouth.“You disgust me”“You disgust me so freaking much, that i wonder how i loved you for the whole two years that we were together”“You are very shameless. You have no shame”“How dare you?” I asked as I looked at him in pure disgust.“You love me?” I asked as I scoffed.“I doubt that,” I said.“Now if you will excuse me, I have better things to do,” I said as I attempted to walk out again.But it seemed like Raymond just wanted to piss me off at all cost and this time I was ready for him.“Oh God help me” I said inwardly.He had stopped me from moving the second time and this time, I could feel my blood boil and patience left me immediately.I

    ADRIANNA “You are what?” Raymond asked as his eyes widened in shock.I stood there wondering what to do next. He wasn’t supposed to know that I was pregnant and definitely wasn’t supposed to know that it was for Ethan.What was I going to do now?“I…i” was all I could say as I looked at him.“You are pregnant Adrianna?” He asked as his lips curled up in a smile.I slowly moved back, as i used both of my hands to hug myself.“Why didn’t you tell me this?” He asked as he tried to move closer but I immediately moved back.“Wh…what do you mean?” I asked as I looked up at him, my eyes holding confusion.“I…i mean it’s a good thing for us right?” He asked as he smiled.Hold on a minute, what exactly did he mean by it was a good thing for us? What was happening here?“What are you talking about?” I asked almost immediately.“I’m going to be a father Adrianna, i am so happy” Those words rolled out of his mouth, and instantly my eyes widened in shock.What the hell?What did he just say?A f

    ADRIANNA I came down from the car and paid the driver his money.I stood in front of the coffee shop and I could see Theresa standing there happily waiting for me.I just didn’t understand why I felt a strong connection towards her, but anytime I thought about her, it always brought a smile to my face and I was always happy.I walked closer to her and gave her a really deep hug.“Hi Theresa” I said as I released her from the hug.“Hi darling,” she replied.“Let’s go inside,” I said as I walked behind her.We walked towards a table and I urged her to take a seat.“I’ll be back shortly” I told her as I walked to my manager’s office.I opened the door and I met my manager sitting behind her desk, while she was having a little breakfast.“Oh Adrianna, what brings you here? I thought you said you wouldn’t come to work today?” She asked as she dropped the cup she was holding.I gave a little giggle.“Yes, about that, i came to meet someone” i said as i leaned against the door.She looked a

    ADRIANNA“Oh i am so sorry all this happened to you child” she said as she gave me a tight hug.She released me from her hug and took a look at her back, rummaging through it as she brought a white handkerchief out.She moved closer to me and slowly dabbed my tears with it.I sniffled.I had just told her everything. The betrayal, the cheatings, the scam, the pregnancy, you mention it.It felt like a burden had been lifted off my chest though, I felt closer to her.“So you mean to tell me that Raymond, that sc*mbag, cheated on you?” She asked, as she looked at me.I slowly nodded as I tried to calm down, and stop myself from crying.“Y…yes, he slept with my sister on our wedding night, as if that wasn’t enough, he chased me out of the house”“If he never loved me, he could have just said so two years ago, before we started dating, why did he have to do this to me?” I said as fresh tears began to stream down my eyes.Oh, there goes me trying to stop my tears.“It’s okay child, i am sor

    ADRIANNA “Thank you Ethan” I said as I hopped into the car after he opened the door for me.“You’re welcome” he replied as he gently closed the door.I watched as he turned around to the driver’s side and entered, slamming the door behind him.I had called him to come pick me up about ten minutes ago, when I bid Theresa goodbye, and here he was.I quickly pulled out my seat belt and buckled it, while he did the same.The ride started shortly after, and we were on the road in less than a minute.At first, the ride was silent, until Ethan finally spoke.“So, how was it? I mean everything or…”“I don’t know, but how was it? You get what I mean right?” He said as he looked at me, and back at the road.I looked at him, and I immediately burst into laughter. He also started laughing too and after a while we both stopped to catch our breaths.“I mean, I don’t even know what to call it” he said as he shrugged his shoulders while laughing.I nodded my head, to let him know that I fully unders

    ADRIANNA“Argh”“What happened last night?” I asked myself as I slowly rose up from the bed.With my eyes closed, I tried to search around the bed for my phone.My hand finally hit something and I knew it was my phone. I brought it to my face and opened my eyes.I checked the call log, and saw that I was on a call with Ethan last night.What exactly were we talking about? I was so tired last night that I didn't even know when I zoned out.Oh well, i would call him later, right now i needed to prepare for work.I pushed myself to the edge of my bed, then used my entire strength to stand up.“Woah!” I screamed as I landed back on the bed.I felt so weak that I couldn’t even stand up. I sat down on the bed for a few more minutes, before I was finally able to stand up again.This time, I had to hold the chair that was beside my bed to support myself.I walked towards the bathroom, but stopped when I got to the mirror.My eyes looked so puffy and I looked very tired.

    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

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

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!
