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. I used my two hands to

    ADRIANNA “What is going on Ethan?” I asked, confused, as Ethan had one knee on the floor while he looked at me.He had his head down for a few seconds before he finally brought them back up.“Adrianna,” he began.How many times does he want to call my name? I laughed at that.“On the night of your wedding, when I saw you at the club, there was just one thing on my mind. Who was this beautiful lady? I wanted to talk to you by all means, that i even hung up the call with my best friend that night” he said, as he began laughing.“From the moment I saw you, I knew there was something special about you. The way you smile, the way you laugh, the way you make me feel when we’re together…it’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before”Ethan’s eyes were locked on to mine, as I looked at him.“At first, I tried to brush it off, to not fall for you, but as time went on, I just couldn’t go a day without thinking about you,” he said as he took my hand and gave it a gentle rub.“I…i know that the

    ADRIANNA I cracked my eyes open, as the morning sun hit my face. I could hear the lovely birds chirping behind my window. I gave my body a light stretch and slowly sat up from my bed.I took my hand to my eye, giving it a little scratch, and trying to remember what had happened the night before.My lips slowly curled up in a smile, as the image of last night slowly came back.The kiss!“Uhhh!!!” I screamed, covering my face with both hands as a deep blush spread across my cheeks.“What’s all this Adrianna?” I asked myself.“You are not supposed to be feeling this way” i added as I spun around my bed.“I can't, I can't,” I said with a smile.“I need to stop thinking about the kiss, it was just a kiss” i said as my fingers trailed my lips.“But his soft plump lips!” I said in conflict, as the image of his lips on mine came flooding right back.“Nope, not going to think about it anymore!” I said, shaking my head, as I stood up from the bed.“I need to go take a shower, I stink!” I said

    ADRIANNA “What are all these?” I asked Ethan, as he brought out shopping bags of different sizes.There had to be close to 20 bags, if i wasn’t mistaken.“Hm. You can check it out” he said as he pointed to the bags.I took one of the bags and opened it up, and in it contained two pairs of pants. I looked up at Ethan, confused.“Pants?” I asked.“Yes,” he replied with a smile.“I got lots of them,” he added.I stood there confused.“But why?” I asked, my face laced with confusion.“Well, now you have lots of pants to wear,” he said as he moved closer to me, giving me a hug.I let the shopping bag fall from my hand as I reciprocated the soft and gentle hug.“And I made sure that they would not be tight for you” he said as he released me from the hug.“Well some might be big though” he added and we both laughed.I looked up at him, my eyes holding excitement. No one had ever done this for me before. No one had ever gone out of their way for me.“Thank you” I said, as I tried to blink ba

    ADRIANNATHREE DAYS LATER“Yes Ethan, i would finish packing up everything in like two days” i said as i dropped a box down.“Okay bye” I said as I ended the call.I looked around, and my whole place was a mess. I was currently packing all the things I would need when I started living with him, and oh they were a lot.Clothes, shoes, basically everything.I took the box I dropped up, and walked over to where the other ones were and dropped it beside them. I took out my phone from my pocket to check the time.“Oh shit! I need to start preparing” i said as I walked over to my bed and dropped the phone.I needed to go see Raymond to collect the divorce papers from him. I really hoped he had signed it, because I wanted nothing more to do with him. The memories of that night still haunt me like it was just yesterday. How could he do this to me? After everything? I shook my head, trying to get it out of my head. I didn’t want to think about it anymore, because anytime I did, it always hurt

    ADRIANNA “W…what are you talking about?” I managed to say, after standing still for a few seconds. I tried to pull my hand from his grasp, but he was just too strong.“Whose is this?” He asked, as he pointed to the ring on my finger.“Let me go Raymond!” I said as I desperately tried to remove my hand from his.“It is none of your business,” I said.“What do you mean none of my business?” Raymond growled, as he looked at me, his eyes holding anger.It really wasn’t his business, so why all this?“Please let me go Raymond, you are hurting me” I said, as I tried to blink back the tears that threatened to flow down my eyes.“What is going on?” I heard Jasmine ask, and immediately, I felt Raymond release me from his grip. It was as if he had previously forgotten that Jasmine was with us, and when he realized he quickly let go.I brought my hand closer to my chest, and started rubbing it gently to soothe the pain.“I…it’s nothing Jasmine” Raymond told her, as he gave a smile.“What do you

    ADRIANNA I woke up the next day, a little tired, but still had the strength to do something. I had to go to work today, since I missed yesterday. I stood up from my bed, my eyes closed and still wanting to sleep more. I searched the bed for my phone, and when I found it, I opened it to find a message from Ethan. He had replied to the message I sent yesterday.“I would just reply to him later” I thought as I started walking towards the bathroom.I took off my clothes as usual, and walked into the bathroom to have my bath. I came out when i was done, and dried my wet body with my towel.I wasn’t really in the mood for something fancy, and out there, so I just opted for something comfortable. A long beautiful gown.I quickly dressed up, and did a light make up on my face. I picked up my purse, and walked out of my door, locking it behind me. I stopped a taxi and hopped in, giving him the address to where I was to go. I immediately brought out my phone, and replied to Ethan’s message.Hi

    ADRIANNA “Adrianna!” He called my name, as he slightly waved at me with a smile. With shaky legs, and sweaty palms, I walked over to him, and leaned forward a little.“What the h*ll are you doing here Raymond?” I asked, as my face formed a frown.“Sit down, I came to see you,” he said, as he signaled for me to have a seat.I shook my head immediately to signal a no. “Why are you here?” I asked, as I straightened my back, and crossed both hands to my chest.“I missed you Adrianna, i desperately wanted to see you” he replied, with a smile on his face, which only disgusted me.“How did you even know where I worked?” I asked, my brows raised in confusion. He leaned forward, his hand on the table, as he played with the menu card.“Well, that wasn’t hard for me. I just asked around, and I got it” he said, with a shrug.“What do you want from me Raymond, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, i have given you the divorce papers to sign, i want nothing to do with you anymore” i said.

    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
