It was a sunny Saturday morning, and Adrienne arrived at the convention center accompanied by Lucy and Lisa. Together, their companies had partnered with Haven's cosmetics for a trade fair. As they entered, they were greeted by a stunning setup adorned with special makeup and skincare combos, enticing free merchandise, and an array of entertaining games. Surrounding them were the sounds of laughter and chatter as attendees happily shopped, engaged in heartfelt conversations, and tested out various fun activities. Adrienne scanned the lively crowd, her eyes landing on Ryan. He sported a hoodie that boasted the "Rie X Haven" logo, one of the event's exclusive personalized items. Adrienne also donned their merchandise, opting for the t-shirt paired with blue denim pants and comfortable black sneakers. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, framing her beaming smile as she made her way towards Ryan. "Hey there," Adrienne greeted him warmly. "Hiii," Ryan replied, enveloping her in an unex
Adrienne sat in her usual meditation pose, lost in deep thought. With Daniel still on his leave and set to return to work tomorrow, and Ryan, her newfound friend who she had become attached to, already out of the country and not returning for two months, she felt a sense of loneliness creeping in. And then, there was boss. Although he had apologized to her the last time they met, Adrienne had no intention of crossing paths with him anytime soon. To make matters worse, Lucy, her usual companion, was also absent. Sundays were typically lonely for Adrienne, as Lucy rarely worked on weekends. Today was no exception, leaving Adrienne feeling more alone than ever before. The feeling reminded her of the first few days after waking up from her coma years ago, when her life had been pure hell. Back then, she had experienced unclear trances frequently and felt completely alone in the world. The incident had wiped away most of her memories, leaving her in a constant state of confusion. Lost i
"Who is this?" Lisa asked, her tone slightly impatient. "Oh, you must be one of her workers. Please tell her that her future sister-in-law wants to speak with her," the teenage girly voice said, trying to sound important. "Sister-in-law?" Adrienne muttered, her confusion evident as she tried to place the caller's identity. "Hi Renee," Adrienne said, finally recognizing the voice on the other end of the line. "Now that's the Adrienne's voice I know," Renee said, sounding relieved. "How are you doing? I have been expecting your call since the day I gave you my number," Adrienne said, an undercurrent of disappointment in her voice. "I didn't want to disturb you with calls or texts and honestly, I kinda forgot. Can you believe that? Can you imagine?" Renee teased, trying to lighten the mood and laughing at her own forgetfulness. "Yeah, I know why. Ryan told me a boy you've liked for a while finally asked you to be his girlfriend. It's understandable how you forgot to call," Adrienne
"Hi, good morning," Adrienne greeted the doctor with a warm smile. "Ah, Adrienne Davison. I have been expecting you," he said, acknowledging her presence with a nod. "Doctor...?" Adrienne questioned, wanting to address him properly. "Doctor Brad," he introduced himself, extending a hand towards her. "Oh, cool," Adrienne replied, shaking his hand politely. "Please, have a seat. So, have you made a decision yet?" he inquired, leaning forward slightly. "Yeah. I need your help in getting rid of this bump," Adrienne said with a determined tone, pointing to the small, almost imperceptible bump on her head. "Bump? Oh," Doctor Brad responded, realizing the cause of her visit. "Is that why you are here?" he asked, concern evident in his voice. "Um...yes. I want you to remove it," Adrienne confirmed, hoping for a solution. "Come on. I know there's more to it than just that bump. I can tell you're conflicted. Should I arrange a meeting with a counselor for you?" Doctor Brad proposed, se
"Forget it," she responded coldly, her voice weak. Daniel left the room, feeling puzzled. He checked his phone and came across the selfie that Adrienne sent yesterday. "Juliette must have opened it yesterday," he realized. "Is Adrienne mad at me?" Daniel wondered, feeling a mix of concern and guilt. He made his way to the living room and saw that Mrs. Davison was still there. "You guys haven't left?" Daniel asked, noticing Mrs. Davison and her boyfriend still in the room. "My baby had to get something for me. He'll be back soon," Mrs. Davison explained, referring to her boyfriend. "Oh," Daniel replied, feeling a bit uneasy. Mrs. Davison sensed Daniel's discomfort and decided to address the underlying tension. "Is everything okay between you and Adrienne?" she asked sincerely, as she took a seat next to him. Daniel hesitated before answering, unsure of how much to disclose. "I'm not sure. I don't think everything is okay," he finally admitted. Concerned for Daniel, Mrs. Davis
Adrienne arrived at his house, clad in an oversized hoodie and joggers. A pallor had settled on her face, her eyes weighed down with exhaustion. Wearing slides, with little care for her appearance, she entered into the room, her focus solely on their usual spot. To her relief, he wasn't present upon entering. A sigh of temporary reprieve escaped her lips. However, her respite proved short-lived as he emerged from the bathroom, draped in a towel firmly secured around his waist. Startled by Adrienne's presence, his brows furrowed in displeasure as he surveyed her disheveled appearance. "Why are you here before our designated meeting time? And why do you look so disheveled?" His words were sharp and biting. Adrienne's sense of relief dissipated, replaced by a growing fear. She knew all too well how he acted when angered. "I... I..." Her voice trailed off, words falling flat. "What's wrong?" he pressed, edging closer towards her. "I... I'm feeling a bit unwell," Adrienne stammered, he
As the helicopter descended gracefully onto the sprawling grounds of the Ryan's mansion, the whirring blades gradually came to a halt, their noise fading into the background. The door slid open smoothly, revealing a scene that felt surreal, as if plucked from a dream. Amidst the air of sophistication and opulence emanating from the mansion, a breathtaking woman emerged from the aircraft, poised and graceful. Rosa, her name whispered with awe and admiration, personified elegance and allure. Her light-skinned complexion seemed to radiate with a soft, inner luminescence, enhancing her already stunning features. Towering with confidence, Rosa possessed a statuesque figure that commanded attention and stirred the senses. Clad in a red, figure-hugging dress, she exuded a magnetic charm, her every curve accentuated flawlessly. The gown, daring and artfully designed, flirtatiously toyed with the boundaries of convention, hinting at the untamed spirit that lay within her. Her lustrous, casca
Adrienne's phone buzzed loudly, jolting her from her thoughts. Lisa, sitting next to her, reached over and picked up the phone, glancing at the caller ID. "It's Daniel," Lisa said, holding the phone out to Adrienne. Adrienne sighed, her heart sinking at the sound of his name. She took a deep breath and forced herself to answer the call. "Hey, Daniel," she said, her voice lacking its usual warmth. "What is it?" "Hey, baby, how are you?" Daniel's voice crackled through the line, filled with concern. "Have you seen the news? Do you know what's up with them? Where did they get the idea of you getting pregnant from?" Adrienne felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her, the weight of the situation pressing down on her already weary shoulders. "Daniel, I'm not feeling so fine," she said, her voice trembling. "Please handle things for this week, and you can call me on Saturday." Before he could respond, Adrienne abruptly hung up the phone, needing a moment to collect herself. She looke
