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
ADRIANNATHE NEXT DAY I let out a loud yawn as I stretched on my bed. I sat up at the edge of my bed, and slowly stood up not to lose my balance.I had to go see Raymond today. 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. I didn’t want Rolan
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. It was ju
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
