ADRIANNAThe walk up to my room was fast and swift. I just wanted to go into my room and bawl my eyes out. I still couldn't believe it, Raymond has been cheating on me all these while we had been together. Our promises, have they all been a lie?. As I walked towards my bed, I dropped my suitcase behind the door and slumped down on it. If anyone would have told me that i would have to go through all these after my wedding, i would never have believed it. It was all too much for me, i just didn't know what to do. I was supposed to me happy, spending my honeymoon with the one i loved, but here i was crying my eyes out. It seemed like tears had been my daily meal for the past two days. I gently touched the bed, my hands grazing the soft foam and texture. The feelings of the soft texture brought back memories and pain. This was supposed to be my matrimonial bed, our matrimonial bed, and now it was soiled with betrayal and deceit. My eyes roamed the room, i could vividly remember the joy i
ADRIANNA I took one last glance at the room, the walls, the furniture and most especially, the memories. I held my suitcase and handbag as tightly as i could, desperately trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to come out. I had decided to take the money and leave. There was no other choice or anything i could do.I sighed in defeat.I came out of the room, and closed the door behind me, hearing the clicking sound from the door. I walked down the stairs, my motion slow and my steps labored. I got to the living room, and found Raymond and Jasmine, standing by the door way. Raymond stood there, his expression quite unexplainable, while Jasmine had a wide smile on her face and her left hand on Raymond's chest. I stood before them, tears streaming down my ears. I looked over at my sister, and i felt pure hatred. I wanted so much as to let her feel the same pain i was feeling right now. I wanted her to experience the hurt she made me go through. My eyes turned to Raymond, i
ADRIANNATWO MONTHS LATERIt's been two months since Raymond and Jasmine sent me out of the house, and I haven't heard from them since. I finally found an apartment using the money Raymond gave me at a place called Oakwood Manor. It's a beautiful place, adorned with vibrant colors and elegant furniture, boasting stunning architectural designs. I had also found a place to work that brings in some income I can use to take care of myself.I was currently working at a coffee shop twenty minutes away from my apartment. The past two months have been quite peaceful and exciting; I enjoy my job and the smell of brewed coffee. My apartment is peaceful and welcoming, always feeling warm when I get back home from work. Within these two months, I've been able to pick myself up and move on.The service bell rang, jolting me out of my thoughts as i worked, serving customers. A customer had rang the bell for my attention. I had not noticed him coming in because i was too preoccupied in my thoughts.
ADRIANNA My manager looked at me shocked and confused. "What?" She asked me.Her demeanor shifted, and anger flashed across her face. Fear gripped me, and my eyes gleamed with confusion. My thoughts began to wander. Was she angry with me because i slapped that disgusting man? Was i about to lose my job? It's not even my fault; he harassed me and he deserves the slaps i gave to him in ten folds."Ma'am, i said he harassed me, he touched my butt and said perverted things to me, even when i clearly told him i was not interested and I don't do such things" i answered her, this time less confidently.She dropped her purse on the counter, walking over to the man."Excuse me sir, did you assault my employee?" She asked the disgusting looking man, who still held his cheeks tightly.The man looked over to me, with an angry expression."No, i did not. I only complimented her that she was pretty, i never harassed her" he said.I stood there in shock.What did he mean by he never harassed me? W
ADRIANNA I felt quite dizzy. I could see the world spinning before my eyes. Everything and everyone were in pairs. I held my manager's hand tight as i felt like i could collapse at anytime. I was beginning to become weak, my body not been able to hold me anymore. My manager looked over to me, as she was now concerned, because i had gripped her so tightly. "What's wrong Adrianna?" She said as she held me by my shoulders. I looked up at her, and i could see two of her. I shoke my head to release the tension and took a deep breath, but it only became worse. I could no longer see clearly and everywhere was spinning seriously. It felt like everyone was in twos and they were moving without even stopping "I don't know ma'am, I don't feel go__" i wasn't able to finish the sentence as i became very nauseous and before i knew it, i had brought out a weird substance from my mouth. I had vomited, and worst of it all, i had vomited all on my manager's cloth. She held a shocked expres
ADRIANNAThe words she said must have been said wrong.Pregnant? How?"What!!!" I screamed in shock, my mind skyrocketing into different realms.How can i be pregnant? I didn't even want to have that thought.My hands became sweaty."Yes Adrianna, you have a healthy fetus growing inside of you" she said, as she patted me on my shoulder in an attempt to calm me down. But i was not even close to being calm.How could i be?"Doctor you have to be joking right?" i said as i began to laugh.This had to be a joke."Okay okay this is a very funny joke, but it isn't funny anymore" i said as i stopped laughing and my face began to hold fear."I'm not joking Adrianna, you are two months pregnant" she said.Two months?? Two whole months??"No no no, this can't be possible" i said as tears began to stream down my eyes.What was happening? How is this possible?This isn't supposed to be happening. Why does my life keep spiraling out of control? What did i ever do wrong to deserve this?"Doctor ple
ETHAN“I’ll be in the office in ten minutes” “Yes Ryan, tell them to wait for me”“Yes yes, i know how this meeting is very important, and it is going to help our company, so I don’t have to miss it for anything in the world. Yea i know”“I’ll be there soon, i am on my way as we speak” i said as i patted the driver’s shoulder to drive as fast as he could.I currently have a meeting with very important investors that I have to attend.I’ve been trying to get their attention for about a month now and it is finally happening. I took a deep breath, trying to recall the speech i was about to deliver to the investors, hoping to persuade them to support my project.“How long before we get to the office?” i asked the driver growing worried.This was a chance i should never even think about missing, because it is going to change everything.“Less than five minutes sir” he said speeding up.I leaned back into the sit, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath.My mind drifted to what happened
ETHANI sat there frozen, my mind lost in thoughts.She was what? I looked down at her expressionless, with no words at all, not even saying a thing.She looked up at me, and I could see her eyes holding pain and hurt.“I…I don’t k…know what to do” she said as tears flowed down from her eyes.“This is all because of you!!” She screamed at me.“You”“I…i hate you” she said as she began to hit my chest with her little soft hands.“Where am I going to start from? Why is life so hard for me? What did I ever do to deserve this?” She asked, looking at me for answers.I sat there speechless.My eyes could not contain the pain i felt at that moment.I was causing her so much pain?“Why do you say so?” I asked as i gently grabbed her chin, urging her to look up at me.Her eyes were pretty, more than I had ever seen before.Her face smeared with tears did little to nothing to how pretty she looked.She was mesmerizing. I wanted her to be mine. Mine, mine alone.All mine.“You are the father o
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
ADRIANNA“You’re welcome Adrianna” she said with a smile.“You’re always welcome” she added, as she stood up from her seat to give me a hug.I leaned in, enveloped by the warmth. It really felt so good.We chatted for a little while before I decided to go home. I bid her farewell and walked out of her office to the counter, where my purse and the papers were.I picked them up, and told my coworkers goodbye, and walked out of the coffee shop. I quickly stopped a taxi and hopped in, giving the driver my address.I needed to go home immediately, I was starving. I didn’t even eat breakfast before I left because I was very nervous. We got to the mansion after a while, and I paid the driver his money and came down.The giant gate opened after I rang the doorbell. I walked in and then straight into the entrance, not even looking around.Anna was already standing by the doorway. She walked closer to me and collected my purse and the papers from my hand.“Welcome Mrs. Greene” she said and I lo
