"Hey." I ensured I sounded cold as usual. She turned to me, looking colder.
"First, I don't appreciate you touching me. It traumatizes me," she blurted out. Her voice was low, yet clear, holding a big deal of irateness.
Not debating with myself, I released her hand from my hold. Speaking of trauma, I could understand what she meant. It was probably because I had told her I used her body to have some fun. So she still remembered that? After almost four months? Well, how would I have known she appreciated her body so much?
I sighed. It was time to be cool.
"What is going on with you?" I asked as if I didn't know what was wrong. What was I supposed to say?!
Her eyes squinted, the intensity in her anger rising. "With me? Are you supposed

I turned my head to look at the trainer. Equally, the woman seemed shocked. She opened her mouth widely, staring at Adrienne like a confused person."Hello there?" The old woman squeezed her already wrinkled face. "Is there a problem? What do you mean? If you don't do the practical, there's automatically no point in you having to come here."Adrienne shook her head slowly, blinked again. "I want a different pair. I reject this person, and I don't think asking for another pair should be a problem.""Young lady." The woman frowned slightly. "First, do you realize you're causing a commotion here? And second, I'm so sorry, but you've got to accept any project partner given to you. The computer pairs everyone according to their admission numbers and names. It's not like we can actually do anything about it."I kept watching the weird drama. What else could I do? Or was I supposed to reject her as we

Thinking about all Adrienne had said, I couldn't concentrate on my work. It was Friday, which meant it was time to work. But instead of focusing on working, all I could think of was how crazy she had seemed threatening. There was absolutely no one who had spoken to me in such a manner. It felt as if her voice was everywhere in my mansion.Feeling so disturbed, I hopped from my seat, heading to the kitchen to grab a hot alcohol. Stepping out, I bumped into something. Maybe someone."Who the heck—" I wanted to yell, but I stopped when I saw it was Ethan. Of course it would be him. No one else had the audacity to come into my study room."Dude, calm down. It was only a mistake," he apologized.I frowned, walked past him, still heading to the kitchen. Alcohol was something I drank whenever I was too stressed out. Right now, it was what I needed. I felt stupid for wanting to

Adrienne————"Thanks, Mommy." I grinned as I spoke to Mom over the phone. My lips pulled into a pout, my eyelashes batting like that of a child who was cajoling his mom for a lollipop."Is your course a stressful one?" She queried."Hm-hm. It's not too stressful. It's quite fine. And I'm really happy here. A lot of people like me. I feel loved." Saying that alone, she sobbed. I rolled my eyes, surprised at how well she could be emotional."I'm so glad you're happy." Her voice was shaky, probably because she was weeping. "I can finally sleep well at night."I giggled. "Drama queen."She laughed for a while. And after a moment of telling me how bored she always was, she said “goodbye”, and hung up immediately.Hunching a hard sigh, I leaned my back against the comfy sofa. S

"Ensure to not miss lunch, ok?" Claire stated the same thing for the one hundredth time. Irritated, I rolled my eyes."I won't, woman." I walked past her, grabbed my bag from the counter, stepping out of the kitchen.About to walk out of the house, she called my name. More irritated, I rolled my eyes again, then spun around to look at her."What?" I gave her a knowing look.She smiled warmly, walked to me. "Sorry to disturb you. But, um…" she bit her lower lip. "I want to know if you'll be able to work with that, you know, your ex-husband."I smiled back. "Thanks, hun. But don't worry, I'll be fine. Nothing's gonna happen, ok? If he tries to do anything crazy, I'll call for help.""Good." Her smile curled into a grin. "I hope to see you in the evening. I'll be hanging out with Dave for the meantime.""Hmm."

This was weird. Too weird.It was almost two hours since Adrienne and I had started this project, but I still couldn't learn to be connected to what we were doing. The fact that I was with the woman I had once been married to, was a really crazy feeling. Again, she seemed so different.When we had been married, I thought she was some kind of dumb person. But now that she was explaining this project to me, I could tell she was quite knowledgeable. That was probably a reason many of our trainers liked her."Do you get that?" She snapped me out of my thoughts. Oh jeez, I had completely forgotten she was explaining something to me.My eyes flared open. "Huh? Get what?" I immediately regretted that I asked that. She'd know I hadn't been listening to her."Really?" Her eyebrows creased in an intense glower. Slamming her palm against the table, she stood up

Adrienne————Confused, I moved my eyes from the blonde haired, then to Dave, then to Sebastian. What was this? A movie I unknowingly began to act? How could they all want to take me home? Was I the only lady in this college?At first, I had kind of appreciated the fact that everyone liked me. But now, it seemed like it was getting too much. These three guys wanted to take me home. If that wasn't a problem, but what about the fact that they all seemed vexed?Sebastian gripped my wrist, absolutely not wanting to let go. Dave gave me a knowing look, explaining he was confused. And as for Harold, he was fighting with himself."Excuse me?" Dave released my hand from his grip, walking towards Sebastian. For the first time since I could remember, Dave seemed quite flustered. This was gross! Why would he be flustered? Sebastian was always flustered, so that w
Last Updated : 2020-09-24Dominant Husband: Her worth Thirty six: What would I do?
Adrienne________Studying on my bed, I couldn't help but grumble at myself. I was so stressed out for no particular reason. It was probably because I had been studying too much these days.Water. I had to drink water first.About to get up so I'd get water from the kitchen, my phone rang from the bed. I rolled my eyes before grabbing the buzzing thing. Seeing it was Sebastian, I was a little nervous."Hey?" I greeted as soon as I picked up."Um, good evening." His voice was thick, beautiful and boring as usual. I wanted to roll my eyes, but I decided to be nice. It wasn't even as if he had said anything wrong."Evening too. You need something?" I asked.He cleared his throat. "Well, I just want you to know I'll be a little late for tomorrow's project. I've got so much work to do."

Sebastian________"I'll call you later, ma," I told my mom over the phone. "Bye."After saying that to her, I hung up the call immediately. Digging my phone into the pocket of my sweatpants, I took in a deep breath, raised my neck to look at the dark sky. The place was silent, just perfect for my evening.I had been so worked up that I had decided to come out to enjoy myself for the evening. I didn't like to go out very much, but anytime I did, I loved to enjoy it to the fullest.I grouched a little, and sat on the roadside bench. It had been a month since I slept with any lady, which was kind of weird. Well, tonight, I really felt like enjoying myself, but I would kind of feel guilty in a way.Fine, Adrienne didn't like me yet, so that meant I could still enjoy myself with any other lady. But what if she got to find out or something? Would she give me a

Months later…"Thank you so much!" I exclaimed. Standing up from the well furnished chair, I heaved a deep sigh, smiled from ear to ear. "I'm so happy to finally be a partner of this company. Thanks for accepting my proposal."Mr. Roland, the CEO of one of the most reputable companies in New York, stood up from his seat. Stretching his hand for a handshake, he returned my smile. "Congratulations. We hope to get great results from you," he said."I'll try my best." I took his hand. After our friendly handshake, I grabbed my purse from the glass that separated Mr. Roland and I, made my way out of his office, then out of the building.Closing my eyes, I inhaled the beautiful air of that afternoon, then smiled on opening them. Today wasn't my birthday alone, it was also my lucky day. First, the doctor had confirmed I was pregnant. And second, the company I wanted to wo

Mom stared blankly at Sebastian and I. All I hoped was for her to accept this relationship. Well, there was a probability she'd accept it. She always said God forgives us for our sins, so we should learn to forgive others.Her eyes moved to Sebastian, then to me. "How did this get to happen?" I couldn't grasp the particular emotion on her face. She widened her mouth, looked at me. "How did he even get here? Am I the only one who finds this weird?""Ma, I used to think that too." I glimpsed at Sebastian, took his hand in mine, and smiled. "But I think fate purposely sent him to me. Whatever's meant for you, is meant for you."She sighed. "Honey, are you sure this is fine? I mean, I don't want you to… you know, have a heartbreak again."I could feel Sebastian wasn't comfortable with this conversation, so I just chuckled. "It'll be fine. I trust him now. And besides, we're so in love now. O

Ethan stared at me like he was confused. He blinked four times, dropped his mouth. He wanted to speak, but it was as if something cut his throat."Seriously?!" He finally spoke, shock in his tone. "How did you guys break up? Wh-What happened?""I was stupid again," I mumbled. "I said I didn't trust him. So, can you please help me talk to him? Claire's not willing to help me do that.""Oh." He scratched the back of his neck, stood up from the couch. "It's quite late. I don't know if he's asleep.""Ah, oh!" I gasped, leaped from my seat, and looked so worried. "Did he drink alcohol?"He pressed his lips against each other, shook his head no."Good." I sighed in relief. Staring back at him, I batted my eyelashes, pulled a childish pout. "Go, please. He always listens to you, huh?"He chuckled. "Just go by yourself. And besides,"
Dominant Husband: Her worth Fifty six: Stupid me.
Claire_____"Right now…" Sebastian scoffed, bit his lips. "I'd rather stay with a pig, than come close to you. You're gross."After stating that to the damn mother-fucking Lauretta lady, he walked away, leaving her to gape. She muttered some things, glared at herself, rolled up her fingers into a fist.Angered, I scorned silently, and sauntered to her. "Hey, bitcho."Hearing my voice, she turned to me. With lowered brows, she gazed at me. "What? Who the heck are you?" She spat out."Claire Martinez." A smirk grew on my lips. I was flustered, but I just had to keep calm before I'd end up killing her."Oh. You're his sister?" She flared her nostrils, curved her ugly arms around her chest."Yes, bitch. His sister, and his helper. I—""You don't even look like the sister of tha
Dominant Husband: Her worth Fifty five: Break up
I tightened my fist, glared at Lauretta, felt the need to hit her. When she had taken a glimpse sideways, I knew she had been up to something. She had probably seen Adrienne coming, so she had decided to pick up and act. But what was she going to gain from this?Tugging her arm, I yanked her close. "Did you do this on purpose?""Maybe." Her lips flipped up into a sneer."Why?" My voice was low, rough and weak. I was scared. So scared. Adrienne had said she “knew it”. What exactly did she know? Had she been doubting me? Had she— It was better to not think about that right now.She licked her lips, slowly raised her fingers to caress my jaw line. "Did I say anything wrong, huh? I'm truly tired of having to wait for you. This is the second time I've come to Florida. Why can't you see I want you? You've stopped giving me money, but that's not just it. I want you."&nb

He stared hard. Reading his eyes, I saw hurt in them. Not just hurt, disappointment as well. It was as if he wasn't expecting this at all."What?" That left his lips in a whisper.I swallowed, and nodded. "That's it, Dave. Stop trying to get close to me. You like me, but I don't like you. Sebastian isn't the same person he used to be, so I decided to give him a chance. Stop causing a problem in my life by trying to get close. I don't want to feel sad for rejecting you. I… don't like you as a lover," I uttered.For a moment, his gaze was more intense. It felt like he didn't want to stop staring at all. What the heck was he looking at? The brown color of my eyes?His throat moved, up and down, then he stepped backwards. Lowering his head, his fingers rolled up into a fist. "I'm sorry for having to get close to you.""It's not a problem. You—"&

Finally, she removed the test result from the envelope. For a moment, she stared at it comprehensively, and then, she sighed. "Oh, God," she muttered, dropping her hand on her chest. It was as if she was shocked, as well, it was as if she was relieved. What was the result?"Ma?" I tapped her shoulder. "What does it say?"Again, she sighed, stood up, and turned around to look at me. "It's negative." There was a smile on her face. I wanted to smile back at her, but I just couldn't. If I did, it would hurt Dave. Dave had once told me how important his locket was. He had said it made him feel like he wasn't so lonely as he truly was. He had said he never saw his mother, but she was close to his heart. So, now that this had to happen, wouldn't he be hurt that the woman he thought was his mom, wasn't? Ah, shit, why him?He stood up from his seat, looking quite hurt. Mom probably noticed how sad he looked, so she cupped his hands in hers. "Hey, dear." She smiled warmly at him. "I know h

Adrienne_______Seeing how worried Dave seemed, I kind of felt disturbed. He looked tense and pale. In fact, his head was turning red. What could possibly be wrong with him?"Dave? Are you fine?" I asked again, but still, there was no reply from him. All he did was stare intently at mom. His mouth was dropped as well, his eyes broadly open. I saw tears in his eyes, and that worried me more."Adrienne," Mom called. She probably noticed him too.I turned to her, furrowed my eyebrows. "Yes, ma?""Is your friend okay?" I saw some kind of disturbance in her eyes.I sighed, turned to him. Taking a step closer, I tapped his arm, which made him flinch. "What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?""A-Ady," he stuttered, finally looking at me. "A-are you sure she's your mom? Are you…" he swallowed, not saying any
