View MoreAnalisse’s POV…I knew she was up to no good, I tried warning Adam but whenever he was around that skank his attitude towards me was both distant and he tended to make rash decisions. I knew what she wanted all along but he made it seem like I was being jealous and spiteful, she knew she was nothing compared to me and that's why she kept on going after what was mine. I was sure the story she told about coming here for her children was a hoax and a plot to get into my family and destroy it from within and Adam being as gullible as he always was,fell for her tricks blindly but she wasn't fooling me and even if she actually had kids and they did go missing how sure was Adam that they were actually his children to begin with.I knew they thought I was oblivious to all they've been doing behind my back but this is my house and I have eyes and ears everywhere. Adam's birthday had finally arrived and I made it a duty to make sure I outdid everything I had done the previous year. This banqu
Adam's pov…“Valerie, what the hell?” I said laughing heartily as I tried to keep my head above the surface of the cold water. Though it was cold, it wasn't uncomfortable in a teeth chattering way but it felt cool and soothing. I watched as she crouched down to her ankles laughing so hard she was almost choking herself in the process.“I'm going to get you back for that.” I said without malice, I knew she was trying to get me to loosen up but I was going to get her back. I fell flat into the water, my entire outfit clung to my body, tendrils of my hair fell across my forehead almost getting into my eyes.I stretched out my arms trying to keep myself afloat in the body of water. I still couldn't believe that Valerie had pushed me into the lake. When I saw the mischievous look in her eyes, the last thing that came to my mind was that she was going to push me into the water. She was still laughing and tears had begun gathering in her eyes at how hard her laughter was, at a point she had
Adam's POV…I walked as quickly as my legs could carry me to the back of the house, on my way there I almost broke into a run but I had to refrain myself because I didn't want to alarm anyone and I wanted to leave as quietly as possible to avoid any of the staff or security guards following me or worse running into Analisse and explaining why I'm leaving my own banquet. I was getting too excited, I wanted to know so badly what Valerie had planned for the day. She had always been creative and I knew that even if she wanted us to just sit down and do nothing it would still be the best birthday because I get to spend it with her. I couldn’t remember the last time I was this eager to do anything, it felt like if I didn't get there any sooner I would explode from all the pent up happiness. It took a moment for me to realize that it had been ages since I felt this happy or excited about anything, my life had always been so bleak and straightforward. All I did was attend meetings, sign pap
Adam's POV …I carefully lifted the knife and began to cut into the black forest cake, the blade gliding smoothly through the moist chocolate layers. Valerie watched with a smile as I cut a slice, the cherry filling and whipped cream oozing out from between the layers.I picked up the slice and brought it to my nose, inhaling the rich aroma of chocolate and cherries. My stomach growled in anticipation as I took a bite, the flavors exploding on my tongue. The chocolate was rich and decadent, the cherries sweet and tart, and the whipped cream added a creamy texture that tied everything together. I closed my eyes, savoring the flavors and textures, feeling a sense of joy and contentment wash over me.As I chewed, I felt a sense of gratitude towards Valerie, who had somehow managed to make it into my room and bring me this amazing cake. “This tastes awesome, thank you for going through all the trouble to make me this. I really like it” I said, taking another bite of the sweet dessert.“Y
Adam's POV….I slowly opened my eyes, grogginess giving way to confusion as I took in my surroundings. I was in my bedroom, but something felt off. The room was too bright, the sunlight streaming in through the windows and illuminating the space in a way that seemed almost deliberate and I knew I had drawn my curtains closed last night before I slept.I sat up with a start, my heart racing as I scanned the room. That's when I saw her - Analisse, standing by the window, a sly smile spreading across her face. But she wasn't alone. Several maids stood behind her, their faces expressionless. What the hell was going on.My mind reeled as I tried to process what was happening. What were they doing in my bedroom? And why was Analisse looking at me like that? And why were there so many maids in my room?"Good morning, Babe. Happy birthday," Analisse said, her voice dripping with sweetness as she stepped closer and kissed my cheeks."I hope you're feeling refreshed. We have a big day ahead of
Valerie's POV…I wanted to bake the cake the previous day but procrastination had always been a hard habit to break for me. The sound of chattering voices, pots clanging and instructions being thrown around was what welcomed me as I walked towards the kitchen. I watched from the doorway as some maids helped mix pastries, some prepared brines, while some were chopping up vegetables and fruits for different dishes and cocktails. A thought urged me to turn back and go upstairs to avoid disturbing them and also I didn't want to be in the company of people but then again my thoughts were on a roll and I wasn't in the mood for any overthinking. As I stepped into the kitchen, all the voices reduced to a bare whisper as some of the kitchen aids turned to face me. God!! Why did they have to make it seem so weird?“What's going on?” the head cook asked in surprise, of how silent the place had suddenly become. His eyes travelled around the room before coming to rest on me. It felt beyond awkw
Valerie's pov…I don't know if he's psychic or he just enjoyed showing up at places he wasn't wanted or needed but Adam had a niche for appearing at the most awkward and uncomfortable moments. Rendall was about to crack at the exact moment he showed up. I knew it, I could feel it, the more I persisted the more I saw his resistance slowly wear off through his eyes and I felt I finally had the upper hand in this chaos I called my life, but I should have known it was too good to be true. The moment Rendall heard Adam's voice, the reverse was the case. His eyes became the size of saucers as he turned back taking in Adam's full size before running off back into the woods. I tried yelling out for him to stop but he didn't turn back not even once, only the moon goddesses knew when next I would have an opportunity to meet him. This was my one chance and now it's gone because someone decided to butt in where they were not needed. I hoped more for Adam's sake that he had a good reason for show
Valerie's POV..The last few days had been beyond eventful. I thought about my life, and how it had done a full 360. From being almost killed to almost having sex again with the man whom I swore I hated. It all seemed too ironic. My thoughts drifted to Adam, and our make out session. A flutter in my chest surprised me. I'd tried to brush it off as a mistake, but the truth was, I'd enjoyed it. The spark of attraction, the thrill of the unknown, the feeling of almost getting caught made me feel alive.Adam's strong jawline, his piercing eyes, and that captivating smile all swirled together in my mind. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I recalled the way his lips had felt when they touched mine, the way his palm though rough had felt so soft against my skin. I thought I would feel guilty for being with a married man, I waited but the feelings never came.After my attack, a few days later I was able to get a hold on Rendall, he felt sorry that I got injured looking for him but I told h
Adam's POV…“No not there, put it beside the fountain. No, move it a little bit to the left. Yes, Perfect.” was what echoed in my head as I flipped onto my back trying to get back the comfortable position I had earlier lost.“Be careful with that” the same voice echoed in my head finally ridding me of sleep as I sat upright rubbing my eyes. What was all the noise about, it felt like the entire house was being shaken to its foundation.“What is wrong with you guys, can't you do anything right. Must I do everything myself.” A voice shrieked out in annoyance, it was Analisse what was she doing in the garden by this time in the morning and why was she shouting. I looked towards the window, trying to gauge what time it was by the amount of light streaming in, it was barely bright outside so what was the cause of all the ruckus. I tossed the covers of my body, my movements seeming somewhat mechanical, the grogginess of sleep still there as I made my way and stood over the window trying to
~~Valerie I once read somewhere that it took a special kind of bravery to stay sober in a room full of drunk people. I was sitting before the makeshift bar in Adam's party, watching my friends take shot after shot of burning liquid from nameless bottles. I stared at their swaying, bleary-eyed form, wondering why anyone would want to subject themselves to that for an entire night and end up wasted in some random place, and wake up with severe hangovers. Stupid nineteen-year olds. I stared at the golden-colored liquid in my own glass. Apple juice was all the refreshment I needed. Maybe it wasn't bravery though. Maybe I was just being plain stupid and I should have enjoyed the night with my friends. Alcohol would have definitely helped me to survive the events of that night. "Bar!" Rendall, the one who was closest to me yelled and slammed an empty glass on the table, his eyes unfocused. "I mean...drink..." "Don't get too drunk, Rendall. You're the one driving us home." Cheryl slu...
