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.

    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.

    ADRIANNA Raymond stood in front of me, with a shocked expression on his face. He looked like he had heard the most shocking news ever, and it had left him so shocked that he couldn’t move.“Ethan?” He asked, after a few seconds, regaining his composure.I moved back in fear, scared of what he might try to do again, like grab my hand all over again.“Please just let me be Raymond” I said, as I tried to blink back the fresh tears that threatened to fall.“My brother?” He asked, as he pointed to himself, with a shocked expression.“You were cheating on me with my brother?” He asked.My eyes widened in shock, at what he said immediately. I instantly shook my head. “No, no, no, what do you mean?” I asked, as I stood in front of him with a shocked expression.“I never cheated on you! Never!” I screamed at him.“You never cheated on me huh?” Raymond said, his voice laced with confusion.“But you have his child growing in your belly? How the h*ll is that possible?” he asked, as he started to

    ADRIANNAI smiled, as I saw the familiar car park downstairs, as I came out of my apartment building. Darka was finally here. I walked over to the car, and greeted him after he opened the car door for me. I hopped in, then watched him shut the door, and walk over to the driver’s seat.“Good day ma’am” he said, as he started the engine. I gave him a smile, in response to his greeting. The ride started shortly after, and we were on our way to Ethan’s company.We arrived in a short while, and I came down from the car immediately after it stopped. I waved goodbye to Darka, as I watched him drive away.I took a deep breath, as I began to walk towards the company entrance. I walked in, and towards the reception, to meet a beautiful lady which I guess was the receptionist.“Hello ma’am” she said, with a wide smile on her face. “Hello” I replied back with a smile.“Are you Mrs. Greene?” She asked, and my cheeks instantly became very hot.Mrs.?? That was too soon!“Y…yes” I replied almost im

    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!

    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 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

    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

    ADRIANNAA ring woke the tired me. I frowned. I didn’t like being disturbed while I was sleeping. My eyes were still closed, too tired to open them. I stretched my hands around my bed to find my phone.It had to be on the bed or something. Or maybe on the nightstand?I groaned. I slowly sat up, with a grumpy face. I stretched my hand towards the nightstand, my eyes still closed, and then I felt something. I knew it was my phone so I brought it close to me.I didn’t even bother checking the caller id as I was still very sleepy, so I picked up the call and took it close to my ear.“Hello?” I said with a huge hint of dissatisfaction, to let the person on the other phone know that I didn't appreciate them disturbing my sleep.The other side was silent for a while before they spoke. “Adrianna?” The person said, and my eyes immediately snapped open.I knew that voice. I instantly took the phone away from my ear, checking the caller id. My eyes darkened.Jasmine? What was she calling me for?

    ADRIANNA My eyes fluttered shut as Ethan’s lips met mine. I swear I felt butterflies in my belly at that instant. It was breathtaking. Both of our tongues fought for dominance but I eventually submitted and gave in.He sucked on my lips and I moaned. It felt so good. His lips tasted sweet like strawberries, and his scent, oh my gosh.He smelt like citrus. He smelled wonderful, and I could feel my mind spiraling out of control. Ethan kissed me so passionately that my legs instantly became weak, and I felt like a puddle. I could stand straight anymore. If not for his hands on my waist, I was sure I would have fallen flat to the ground right now.After a few seconds, Ethan broke the kiss, our body very close to each other and panting heavily. We were both out of breath, our chest rising up and going down.It was a lot. “I_i_i” I tried to speak but was totally out of breath.Ethan moved his hand to my face, and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “Breathtaking Adrianna” he said, his

    ETHAN“Oh my gosh! Ethan this is so cool” i watched Adrianna splash the water with her feet. Her golden features shine bright like the sun or even better.She looked so beautiful, with her hair falling in front of her face as she jumped around the ocean, excitement evident in her face and body movements. Never had I been with a woman as beautiful as her.She was breathtaking, and could pass as an angel.I was so happy and satisfied that I had brought her here. “Come on!” She waved at me to come over. I walked closer to her admiring the beauty that was my wife.I couldn’t wait to actually get married to her. I wanted her to be mine. All mine. I wanted her to walk around high and mighty while the was called the name Mrs. GreeneI wanted to be around her every single hour, minute, second. I wanted her to be all up in my skin.I wanted to give her my attention twenty four hours, seven days a week.And most of all I wanted her to call me her husband. The thought of it excited me. To wake

    ADRIANNA About twenty minutes passed. Ethan and i were all chatty and laughing, then the waiter walked in with a platter. Two other waiters followed behind him. He dropped the platter on the table, and the others followed to do the same, arranging them in order.I marveled at the dish before me. My eyes and mouth watered. It was then that i actually knew i was hungry, as i heard my stomach growl.“This looks delicious” i looked up at Ethan with eyes that spelled hunger.Ethan chuckled. “I’m glad” he nodded to the waiters and they bowed and turned around to leave.“Will it taste as delicious as it looks” i said to myself as the aroma of the delicacy in front of me traveled straight to my nose. I looked up at Ethan to catch him staring at me. My cheeks instantly became hot.“Wh_why are you staring?” I asked, blushing as I looked back down.“Hm, let’s just say I love to stare at my wife’s beautiful face,” he said, and I looked up to find him smirking.“Let’s eat” he added and right aft

    ADRIANNA Ethan held my hand as we walked out of the building. Eyes were on us, but I couldn’t care one bit as all I cared about was his soft but firm hands that held me so tightly, like he never wanted to let me go.We walked to the parking lot, and Ethan brought out a key from his pocket, which I figured was a car key. He held it towards a car, and it made a beeping sound. Ethan walked me to the passenger’s door, and opened it for me, watching me as I entered before closing the door. He turned around and walked to the other side. He entered, and I muttered a thank you.“You’re welcome” he smiled and started the engine. He drove out of the parking lot, and we were on our way to whatever Ethan had in store for me. *****A large building came into view. It was painted in a cream color. A gigantic signboard was hung at the top of the building. It read ‘Dolce Italia’. I stared at it for a while, trying to figure out what it meant. The word Italia sounded like Italy, but I couldn’t fi

    ADRIANNA I walked out of Mr. Collins office, slamming the door behind me. I let out a deep breath.“Glad that’s settled” I muttered, and sighed in relief. I began to walk towards the exit of the building, while also bringing out my phone to give Raymond a call.“Hello?” I said, placing the phone to my ear.A voice from the other side replied. “Adrianna” he called, yawning.I guess he was still sleeping. I scoffed, what a fool.“Raymond,” I began.“I have submitted the papers to my lawyer, and we have been instructed to meet in court in four days”I didn’t wait to hear his reply before ending the call. I didn’t want to ruin my mood, I had a date to go to.My lips slowly curled up in a smile at that instant. I was going on a date with Ethan. The thought still excited me as much as it did in the morning.Remembering that Ethan had asked me to give him a call, I dialed his number and took the phone to my ear. “Mi Amor” he said, picking after the first ring. I blushed hard at what he cal

    ADRIANNA I watched him walk out of my room, closing the door behind him.“I’m going on a date!” I let out a little scream in excitement as I turned around and ran to my bed. I jumped on it, careful to not land dangerously on my belly, and screamed into the pillow.“Oh I need to wear something very nice,” I said, as I sat up.“Like a dress,” I added.I stood up from my bed, and walked towards my wardrobe, but stopped.“I need to take a shower first” i said, and with that, i took off my clothes and walked into the bathroom.Not wanting to waste a lot of time, I quickly had my bath and came out shortly after. I dried my body with a towel, applied lotion, and walked to my wardrobe.“Hmm, okay what would I want to wear?” I said, as I searched through my tons of clothes. I also had to consider the fact that I was going to see the lawyer first, before eventually meeting Ethan. So, I had to wear something that was simple, but also unique and cute to go on a date with.I brought out a gown t

    ADRIANNA THE NEXT DAYThe gentle knock on the door made my eyelids slowly flutter open.I tried to take in the background and everywhere, my eyes adjusted to the bright lights.The knock on the door came up again.“I’m coming” I muttered, as I stood up from the bed, and sat at the edge of the bed to get my balance before I moved.I yawned and stretched, before I stood up and walked towards the door. I held the doorknob, and turned the lock the other way to open it. With sleepy eyes, I slowly opened the door, and held my head out to see who was standing outside my door. My sleepy eyes immediately vanished, and were replaced with excitement, as I opened the door wider.“Ethan?” I said, as I took my hand to my eye, giving it a little scratch.“Good morning wife” he greeted me, excitement laced in his tone.“Good morning,” I replied.He walked into my room, and closed the door behind him, immediately enveloping me in a hug, his warmth soothing.He released me after a few seconds, and

    ADRIANNA “Adrianna?” I heard someone call my name.I tried to turn around to see who that was, but all I saw was darkness.Pitch black.“Hmm”“Hmm?”“Hmm” I tried to let out words, but only murmuring sounds came out.It wasn’t until I felt a little push, that my eyes slowly started to open. I blinked at the blur I saw out, and I was starting to see clearly.The corner of my eyes was locked on a figure, and when I slowly turned my head, Ethan was standing beside me, his two hands crossed to his chest.“Adrianna?” He asked, his face laced with worry.“Hmm?” I made a sound, as I tried to sit up.“Aw” I let out a painful sound, as I felt a sharp pain in my neck area.Ethan rushed to me, and held my shoulders, worry evident in his tone and face.“Are you okay?” He asked, as he gently helped me sit up.I nodded, trying to get myself.“I_i guess I slept off, I was really tired,” I said, as Ethan helped me stand up.“I ate a few minutes ago, and I was too tired to move,” I added as I pointe
