"I want you to move in with me" Jensen said, a small smile curving his lips. Adelynn smiled, trying not to show how much his statement had thrown her off balance. "Jensen, I don't think that's a good idea" she stated and he frowned.
"Why not?""I'm still married to Dominic" Adelynn pointed out and Jensen's eyes hardened."Adelynn, I need to know that you truly want me. Moving in with me shouldn't be a big deal" he said and a lump lodged itself in Adelynn's throat."Jensen, you have to understand that I can't do what you're asking of me, yet. But, we're certainly going to be together" she said and his gaze softened. He gently gave her hand a little squeeze. While they both walked out of the restaurant, Jensen suddenly pulled her into his arms and pressed a kiss to her lips. Adelynn forced out a smile, hoping that he wouldn't notice how hard she was trying to make things look real. He walked her to her car and watched her as she got in."I'm fine, Dominic. What's with the murderous look in your eyes?" Dominic's mother said to her son, a worried look in her eyes. "Mum, do you understand that you were nearly killed?" Dominic asked and she sighed."Of course, I know that. Do you by any chance, know who would've done this?" She asked and he began to pace back and forth, pensively. "I'm going to kill him" Dominic muttered."Dominic, you promised me that you wouldn't get your hands stained with someone else's blood" "What do you suggest I do now?" He asked and stormed out of the ward where his mother was admitted. Standing in front of the door were four armed bodyguards. "Is she okay?" Adelynn asked as he walked up to her. "She's fine"He took out his phone and started to head towards the entrance of the hospital building as he made a call."Boss""Where are you? We need to talk" Dominic said."Whenever you're ready, boss""Go
"I heard that you're married now. You seem to have changed a lot. But, since you're here to see me, I don't think you have changed so much" Blake, Dominic's companion said as he took a drag of his cigarette. Dominic shrugged."Desperate times call for desperate measures. I want you to look into someone for me"Blake stroked his beard, lazily. "Who has been getting on your nerves?" He asked."His name is Jensen Jefferson""Right. I have heard about the bastard. He has crossed paths with me a few times. The brat thinks he can do anything he wants. What are you planning to do?"A smirk curved Dominic's lips. "I plan to ruin him".... Jensen was awoken by the ringing sounds coming from his smartphones. Annoyed, he grabbed one of them and picked the call."Hello?" He rasped, rubbing his left eye tiredly."Are you in your right mind at all?"Jensen stiffened at the sound of his fat
"What are you doing here?" Jensen asked, his gaze boring holes into Tallie who was literally struggling with her emotions. This was the first time she was seeing him in months. She was feeling both immense relief and happiness. She couldn't be bothered by the coldness of his expression. "Babe, where have you been?" She asked and Adelynn's eyes went wide. Jensen's eyes went even colder and the frigid tension in the air tripled. "You are her husband?" Adelynn asked, her eyes narrowed."Adelynn-""Don't Adelynn me" she snapped. Then, she burst into a humourless laughter."You were fucking married. Yet, you chose to do everything you could to rip my marriage with Dominic apart. How could I have been so stupid? I should have never trusted you in the first place" she spat, her blood fired up with anger. "You're getting it all wrong. This is just a misunderstanding" Jensen
"What?" Jensen rasped, his eyes wide. "He's dead. He died three months ago. He was terribly ill and there was nothing I could do to make him feel better. It didn't help that you abandoned us. How could you just forget us like that?" Tallie sobbed, her eyes red rimmed. Jensen swallowed hard, tightening his grip on the steering wheel. There was grief and bitterness in his eyes. But, this was only because he'd lost his son. He felt nothing but hatred towards Tallie. She had ruined his chance to be with Adelynn. Because of her, he was sure that Adelynn wouldn't want to have anything to do with him. He'd been so close to having her all to himself. The truth remained that he wasn't going to give up just like that. She would become his by hook or crook. "You made a terrible mistake, Natalie" Jensen droned and she stared at him, bewildered. "A mistake?""Yes""You're unbelievable! Who are you and
"Excuse me, ma'am" Adelynn looked up at the blonde teen standing in front of her with a juice box in her grip. "Can I help you?" Adelynn asked, a smile on her face. "A man asked me to give this to you" the girl said and handed the juice box over to her. Adelynn's brows creased up a little."A man? What else did he say?" She asked."He asked me to tell you that it's a little gift from Leo" the girl said with a smile on her face. With that, she walked away. Adelynn stared at her retreating figure, a small smile tugging at her lips as nostalgia swept through her.... Flashback... Spring had just arrived and the air smelt of sweetness and freshness. Adelynn sat on a bench in a park. She let out a sigh, a small smile curving her lips. Today, she was going to finally meet her pen pal, Leo. She could barely hold in her
Seven days had passed since Adelynn's unpleasant encounter with her exboyfriend. She had been anxious and apprehensive, knowing that Jensen was still out there. Within those seven days, Adelynn had been feeling a little ill. At first, she had believed it to be as a result of how stressed she'd been. But, the symptoms were quickly progressing, coupled with the fact that she had missed her monthly cycles for a while now. She didn't want to raise a false alarm yet. But, she had a gut feeling about it. She stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror and splashed cool water on her face. Lying on the sink were the three home pregnancy test she had just urinated on. She couldn't bring herself to see what the results were, yet. She felt very anxious and had to take long, deep breaths to help herself relax.She could hear Dominic making a call. He had been on the phone most of the time as of recent. He was doing everything he could to get more evidence
A warm smile tugged at Adelynn's lips once her husband returned home. He noticed the presence of his mother, Adelynn's mother, Stella and Chloe. "Okay, what's the occasion?" He asked his wife as she unbuttoned his white shirt. "You'll see" she whispered and he grinned. "Are we seriously doing this, right now?" Dominic asked, smiling at her. "Yes, we are. When you have freshened up, you can join us for dinner" Adelynn said and walked out of the room, leaving Dominic to wonder what was really going on. He took his bath and got dressed in a black T-shirt and grey sweatpants. As he made his way down the stairs, his phone rang. It was a call from one of his business associates. After the call had ended, he went to the dinning room and took his seat beside his wife. He placed a hand on her thigh. "Will you tell me what's really going on now?" He whispered in her ear and she laughed. Dominic's mother laug
In the large sitting room of Dominic's home, he was sitting on the couch with Adelynn's head on his lap. He fondly stroked her hair as they watched the TV. "Do you remember the first letter we wrote to each other?" Adelynn asked and he smiled. "Of course, I do" Dominic responded as he thought about how nervous he'd been to write the letter. At first, he'd thought that Adelynn wouldn't get the chance to read the letter because Jensen would always follow her wherever she went. Dominic had managed to sneak the letter into her locker. In the letter, he had written to her, asking her to become penpals with him because he didn't have many friends. He'd asked her to send him messages through the mail if she was interested. Adelynn on the other hand had found him very interesting and she'd agreed to be his pen pal. At first, she'd hesitated because of Jensen. But, she managed to hide it from him for the time being. Thi
