ADRIANNA

The 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

    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.

    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 “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

    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 “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 “We’re here Adrianna” I heard Ethan say as I looked out of the window. I nodded as I tried to blink back the little tears that threatened to stream down my eyes. I couldn’t understand why I was crying, or what I was feeling at that very moment, but I knew that I felt at peace.The car stopped, then honked for the gate to be opened. It took a few seconds, but the giant black gate was finally opened, and Roland drove us in, the truck trailing behind us.I watched with excitement as we drove past the lovely flowers, and my favorite one, Marigold. I was so happy that I was going to see these flowers often now. The car came to a stop in the driveway, and we all came down from the car. Darka, signaled for the truck to be packed where it was, and instantly we began to offload the truck. This took us about an hour to clear out everything, and we were finally done. We bid the truck men and the driver goodbye as they drove out of the mansion. “Finally” I said, as I cleaned the swea

    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

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

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 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!
