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 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 “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

    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 ONE WEEK LATERIt's been about a week since I moved in to live with Ethan, and it has been lovely ever since. I had received nothing but love from both Ethan, and Anna. I felt like I was at home every single day.The garden was my favorite place now. The flowers and bench, my comforting place.****I pulled the gown down below my knees as I checked myself in the mirror. My hands instinctively went to my belly. Today makes it a week since I last saw Dr. Smith. I had an appointment with her, an ultrasound to check how the baby was doing.To be very honest, I was definitely scared.What if something was wrong? I hadn’t felt the baby kick or anything, and it’s been like four months already.I had read one of the books that Dr. Smith gave me, ‘what to expect when you’re expecting’ and it said, a baby should start to kick at around sixteen weeks to twenty weeks.“Oh no” I let out a whisper, as I thought about it. What if something was really wrong?I looked around in panic, and p

    ADRIANNADr. Smith walked up to me with a smile on my face.“So, how have you been Adrianna?” she asked.“Fine,” I replied with sweaty palms.“You seem scared, is everything alright?” She asked.Damn yea, i’m scared.I shook my head immediately. “Scared? Me? No! Never” i said, my eyes moving to the left and right, anywhere away from Dr. Smith’s eyes.She let out a giggle, before she leaned closer to me. “Adrianna, you don’t have to pretend. It is normal for first time mothers to be scared” she said, reassuring me.I let out a deep breath. “I__I don’t know, this all just seems so rushed and new to me” I said, my head bowed down, looking at my fingers.“It’s okay Adrianna, no need to be scared” she held my chin, raising it up, so that i could look at her.I nodded, my nerves now a little bit calm.“Alright let’s go to the room” she said, and i stood up, and followed behind her.***A door came into view, painted white. Dr. Smith held the doorknob, and pushed it open, leading us inside.

    ADRIANNA“Raymond?” I said.“Yes Adrianna, it’s Raymond” “Why are you calling me? What do you want?” I asked almost immediately, remembering the pain I had to go through the last time I saw him.The other side of the phone went silent for a few seconds, before he finally said something.“Calm down Adrianna, I didn't call you to cause a fight” he said, and my heart dropped in relief.“Then?” I said.Raymond coughed before he finally talked.“I’m ready to sign the divorce papers” I heard him say, and my body immediately went stiff.On one hand I was very happy and excited, but on the other, I was scared, because what if he was just joking with me?“Wait what?” I asked, my eyes wide open in shock.“Are you joking Raymond?” I added.He let out a laugh. “No, i am not” “You can come get the divorce papers when you are ready” he said, but i didn’t even really hear the last words, as i immediately ended the call, and collapsed on one of the chairs.“Finally, i would be able to cut ties with

I closed my eyes, and let out a little yawn. I felt really tired and weak, but I knew I had to do this.I quickly had my bath and dressed up as I didn’t want to waste much time. I wanted to get everything done as quickly as possible.I walked out of my room to go downstairs, when I saw Ethan coming out of his room, all dressed up for work.“Good morning” I greeted with a wide smile on my face.He walked closer and hugged me, planting a kiss on my forehead.“How was your night?” He asked, and I replied. “It was fine”“I’m going now” i said to him, and i could see a flash of sadness in his eyes, which immediately vanished.“I’ll be back soon” I added as I leaned in to kiss him.I moved away from him, and bid him goodbye.I walked out of the mansion, and stopped the nearest taxi I could find.

    ADRIANNA “You are joking right?” I asked in shock.I stood there, wondering if I even made the right decision by coming here. “How dare you?” I could feel anger surge through my bones.“You call me here to tell me all this trash?”“For what reason?”“What exactly gave you the right Raymond?” I asked as I stood akimbo. He had really got to be joking, because what exactly was all these?He walked away from the door and tried to hold me, but I moved back instantly, disgusted by his filthy hands.“Why in the world would you think I would want to get back with you after all you did to me? You betrayed me Raymond. I trusted you and you betrayed me like I was nothing to you” i screamed at him in pain.“Don’t you remember? You freaking chased me out of our house and for what? My sister?”“You have no right Raymond” I said as I shook my head. “No right whatsoever to spill out all the trash you just told me.”He looked at me, his expression of sadness, but I knew that was all a lie.

    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

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

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
