2022-01-17 08:16:17The rest of the afternoon is spent with our tailors fitting us for the party. Jules booked a makeup and hair appointment for me which was to be done at the boutique since she wanted to see if the makeup matched the dress or not. She really is a sweetheart.
A couple hours later my make up and hair are finally done and I’m fitted into my dress.
“Don’t open your eyes yet!” Jules exclaims as she carefully walks me over to a mirror. “Okay go ahead!”
Slowly opening my eyes, my jaw drops as I take in the beautiful person standing across from me. I can’t believe that she’s me. I never thought I was ugly, and thanks to my mom I’ve always learned to see myself as a beautiful woman, but what I see right now is just...gorgeous.
“Do you like it?” Jules asks anticipating for my answer.
“I love it.” I whisper, mesmerized by how good of a job she, my makeup artist, and hairstylist did.

“LET MY MOMMY GO!” I yell trying to rip his hands away from my mom’s throat as she struggles to grasp for air. Letting go of her throat, he tightly grips my hands and pushes me violently against the wall repeatedly banging my head. His dirty callused hands now grip my neck. “Let-me-go.” I say through struggling breaths. “You should have stayed outside.” He snarls as his grip tightens.Stars start to form in front of my eyes and the colored room slowly turns black. “LET HER GO!” My mom yells as I hear glass shatter.The tightness engulfing my throat disappears and air starts to fill my lungs again. Blinking away the stars and the blackness I see my mom holding a broken vase in her hand, her eyes ghost like as she stares at the ground. Looking down as well, I spot him laying on the floor unconscious, blood poolin

After Adair left, I hopped into the shower and got dressed. We were supposed to leave today but since Leo is looking for my dad, Adair said that we should stay until he’s found.Making myself look more presentable, I put on a black pencil skirt and a light pink blouse and throw my hair up into a high ponytail. I apply some light makeup to cover up my puffy eyes, thankful that their no longer red.After talking to Adair about my past, I feel like the weight has been lifted off my chest and for the first time ever, I feel like I’m no longer defined by my past.Even though I don’t know Adair for that long, there’s this strange connection between us thats rooted in comfort and trust. It puts me at ease knowing that I can tell him anything.It’s almost lunch time and I’m starving for some good food. Grabbing my purse, I make my way to Adair’s room so we can all go for lunch. As I’m about to knock on his door it a

Even though I’m supposed to be optimistic that we’ll find him, I feel sick even thinking about being face to face with him. This entire plane ride back my stomach feels nauseous and my anxiety is kicking into a whole other level.He’s flying with a fake name. It doesn’t seem right to me as to why he would do that unless he’s done something even horrible in the past that would make him more likely to be targeted by the police.Adair is typing away on his phone and I’m wondering if it’s Julian. “Mr. Adair, has Julian said anything yet?” I ask, folding and unfolding my hands in my lap.“Not yet. But he texted saying he’s working on it right now.” Adair says, his eyes glued to the screen.Nick comes over and takes a seat beside me. “We’ll find him. Alex and I won’t rest until we do and when we do we’ll be right there with you.” He smiles.His words gro

Adair’s Point of View“How could you?! After all this time with me you decide to go have an affair!” Anna shouts as she inches her face closer to mine, her chest heaving up and down in anger.“What the hell is wrong with you?!” I growl ripping her grip off my collar. “Are you insane? Is this the right place to talk about this?”“Right place? I’ve tried calling you and you haven’t been answering my calls! Hell, I wasn’t going to wait any longer! And yes, I was insane for loving you with every part of me and all you did was cheat on me when you found another woman?!” Anna shrieks, her hands tightly gripping her head.I stare at her dumbfoundedly.Cheat on her? Has she lost her mind? I’ve been damn loyal to her all this time.A hurricane of anger fumes inside of me as she continues to accuse me of cheating. As much as I’m trying n

Adair’s Point of ViewI don’t slow down. Even though Nick and Ms. Carter yell my name I continue to walk as fast as my legs can take me. I need to be alone right now.“Mr. Adair dinner is-” The chef begins.“-No.” I say cutting him off. I can’t even think of eating right now without feeling like I have to throw up.Making it into my bedroom, I lock the door despite Nick yelling for me to open it.“Go away!” I roar and he continues to knock.Pain accentuates inside of me as Anna’s words reply in my head.Forgot who I was. Her death. Those countless nights of drinking at bars until they would have to escort me out because I was so drunk and unable to walk by myself. I didn’t want to care who I was. I wanted to forget myself, because forgetting was the easiest thing I could do. Numbing myself allowed me to forget the pain and guilt t

I stay right by his side as he calls his parents. You can see the nervousness written all over his face, but he needs to talk to them in order to put his demons to rest. His chest heaves up and down as he runs his fingers through his hair in anxiousness and I wish that I could take away his pain.“Hello mom.” He says softly, his head hanging low.I listen to him as he talks to his parents. It’s never easy talking about your loved ones when they are no longer in this world. I know how hard it must be for him to have relived his past when he told me about it, because I felt the same when I told him mine. Our haunted pasts hang above our heads and until we put them to rest they’ll be with us forever.As he continues his conversation with his parents, I notice how his breathing starts to become normal and the darkness in his eyes become replaced with tenderness. I hope that whatever his mom is saying is able to put him at ease.I

“Is he okay?” Nicks asks, his forehead creased in worry, right when I walk out of the room.“Yeah he is now.” I say trying to contain myself so I don’t cry in front of him.I feel like I’m carrying dead weight as I forcibly walk myself back to my room. That ounce of hope that sprang into me when he said he wanted to call off the engagement broke as soon as he said that he won’t.I don’t even know why I was thinking that he would or that if he did, it was because of me. I’m so stupid for thinking that he might feel the same towards me as I do to him.“What happened?” Nick asks, following close behind me.“He told me about what happened to his sister.” I say with a tight mouth. I just want to be alone right now and I can’t even say it without it being suspicious.“He blames himself for her death.” Nick whispers and I halt turning towards him.

Instead of dropping me to Adair’s house, Nick takes me to his home instead. He said he didn’t want me to be alone despite their being a ton of guards, plus he wanted me to meet Mariam since he had told her how he finally has a sister and she’s been dying to meet me ever since.The drive to Nick’s house isn’t too long. Nick spends the entire drive talking to me about how he met his wife, how excited he is for the baby, and how he thinks Adair is totally insane for giving Anna the time of day even though he hopes that she’s okay.As we get closer, a small amount of smoke hangs in the cold air. Before I could ask what is going on, a beautiful cottage style home that sits peacefully among tall trees comes into my sight of vision. Above the chimney, I spot the smoke I noticed earlier.“Here we are!” Nick exclaims as he parks the car.Getting out of the car I take in the fresh smell of rain and trees. &ldquo

4 years later Our baby girl is growing up so fast. Ariana Elizabeth Adair is now 8 months old and she’s the smartest and most fearless baby that I have ever seen- and she gets that from her parents.“Look at this Ari.” Zara says picking up her bow and arrow set that Alex got for her birthday last month.Ari takes a hold of the bow in her small hands and gives it a 360-degree examination before taking the plastic arrow from Zara’s hand and sticking it flat onto the red bean bag couch. Luckily there’s a sticky plastic to the end of it and not an actual arrow, saving us the destruction that would come if it were to hit into something.“That’s my girl.” Adair smiles.Sitting in his lap, I lean back into his chest, the soft fabric of his dark blue sweater giving off warmth. He kisses the top of my head and intertwines his fingers with mine as we watch the two kids play. We sit on

It feels like the very first day of school where you’re the new kid and absolutely have no idea what to expect. That’s me right now. Mixed emotions run through me with nervousness, happiness, and excitement being among the top three.What will Adair say when he sees me? What if he’s moved on already? What if he gets angry at Nick for telling me where he was? What if he left Greece early?I know my mind is running wild like it normally does, and I tell myself to calm down. Everything will be alright.Neatly trimmed colorful trees line the walkway to the hotel’s entrance. It’s fall again and I’m kind of sad that I missed my favorite seasons- spring and summer- because of being in a coma. But this is the exact same month that I met Adair for the first time, and I find it so magical that this was the month that God made me wake up in.Nick talks to the receptionist and she hands him over a swipe card to Adair's room.

Two weeks have passed by and I can proudly and thankfully say that I remember almost everything, but I just don’t remember his face or his name. He comes into my dreams every night, his face still blurry and when dawn breaks, he leaves me.I search up his crazy ex fiancé’s name to find his name on the Internet, but I can’t find it anywhere. It’s as if they never knew each other. I remember how we first met and how he saved me. I remember it all, but I don’t remember him.And it’s eating me alive.I no longer have to visit the doctor anymore which I’m so glad because I couldn’t take the sight of the hospital anymore. The doctor was very impressed at how fast my brain was able to pick up on the memories, but it’s only because of the family that I have today. And it’s thanks to the crazy case.I ended up asking Tyron how he felt about my mom and he said that he was in love with her. I asked m

My mom and the other woman carefully walk towards me. My eyes brim with tears as I take in my mothers’ appearance. She looks like she lost weight, her daisy yellow blouse hanging loosely around her collar bones. Taking a hold of my hand, she kisses my palms and holds them close to her heart.“Mom.” I whisper causing her to look up in shock.“You…you remember me?” She asks wide eyed.“How can I forget you mom.” I say through sobs.I carefully get out of bed trying my best not to tug on the IV poll and I embrace her in a hug. We cry into each other until there are no more tears left. She makes me sit back on the bed and I do so without any complaints. I feel drained, but it’s nothing compared to this feeling of wanting to be with my mom.“Do you remember me?” Aaliyah whispers, her hands clutched to her chest.I try my best to remember her, and I see faint memories, but I

8 months laterTall dark trees surround me, their leaves rustling against the light breeze. I continue to run trying to find an exit, but I can’t see a way out of this suffocating dark. Rain starts to tap my head and I look up at the sky. The pitch black sky embraces the dark stormy clouds and my heart slams into my chest.I need to find a way out before the storm starts.Running, the wet gritty soil covers my naked feet as pebbles and tiny branches poke into the bottom of my feet. I ignore the pain desperately trying to find my way out calling for help.The rain slams down and thunder booms across the sky, drowning my calls for help. I run as fast as I can tears now streaming down my face. Howls echo with the thunder and I look around wide eyed hoping that there aren’t wolves.“Please can anyone help me!” I shout, the hem of my white night gown getting caught in the branch.I trip over the large branch

Adair’s Point of ViewThe next couple of hours for Sarah are critical. Thankfully the bullet missed her heart but only by a couple inches. I was able to get her to the hospital on time, and if I didn’t, according to the doctor, she could have died.I sit, broken and tired in the waiting room patiently waiting for the doctor to come out of the operating theatre. My shirt is covered in her blood and despite getting a lot of stares from people they don’t utter a word.I called everyone she knew so they can be here when she wakes up. Nick and Julian are bringing Elizabeth over right now. I sent my private jet to Andrew, Aaliyah, Cole, and Meghan so they can get here faster. When I told them about Sarah they were speechless. At first Aaliyah was mad at me, telling me that I let Anna hurt Sarah but she apologized when her anger died down. However, her words hold truth to them. If only I could have pulled the trigger earlier then Sara

“ANNA DON’T!” Elizabeth yells, but Anna ignores her cries and walks over to the darkness and emerges back out with a gun in her hand.My heartbeat quickens and sweat forms on my forehead. I watch the sleek black gun glisten in her hand and with every step she takes I see my death getting closer and closer.I suck in my breath telling myself that I won’t cry. I can’t let my mom see me in fear despite fear running in every part of me right now. I have to be strong, for the both of us.“I love you mom.” I whisper one last time.“Sarah please-” She sobs as Anna holds the phone across from me so my mom can see my death.All of a sudden a loud boom startles Marc forcing him to drop the phone on the ground and my eyes search frantically across the screen looking for my mom.“YOUR UNDER ARREST!” Yells a familiar voice and I know who it belongs to.Julian.

Adair’s Point of ViewEver since I left New York I’ve been counting down the time to reach Anna’s place. Time is slipping away and I don’t know even know if Ms. Carter will be there. My heart is telling me that she is, but my brain is telling me otherwise, and it’s driving me fucking insane.I can’t believe that this entire time Anna was playing with me. I could smell a snake a mile away, but this time a snake was right under my nose and I didn’t even know it.“She played me so well.” I growl taking a sharp turn at the lights, the empty street taunting my stupidness.I’m only five minutes away from her place and the anxiety that grows inside me is one that I’ve never experienced before. My body feels restless and my chest heaves up and down as breathing becomes difficult to do.When my sister went missing I felt like the world was torn away from me and now, kno
Forbidden Red Chapter 59
My eyes slowly open as I try to adjust to the dim light that hangs above me. A sharp pain shoots at the back of my head causing me to wince. My head throbs in pain and I feel like I’ve been hit in the back of a head with a metal baseball bat. My eyes travel down to my hands and I realize that both my hands and feet are tied tightly to the chair with chains.I try to break free, but it only makes it worse as the chains dig even deeper into my skin causing me to yelp in pain.I look around for help but the place is completely empty. It’s freezing cold and smells like a wet dog. A tiny window near the top of wall lets in a small stream of light and through there I can tell that it’s already night time. Where am I? I scream for help, anyone who can help me at least get these chains off me, but I go mute once I realize what happened. Everything comes back to me. It was Anna who hit me in the back of the head right when I was
