Emily's POV.Without uttering another word to him, I turned around and ran off. I ran all the way to where the car was parked and surprisingly, it was still there."Hardin? You are still here?" I asked. "Yeah, sir Adrian instructed me to stay back and pick you when you are done, he took a cab and left already," he replied. I felt a drop of tear roll down my cheeks. Despite how upset he was, he still has my best interest at heart. Why does someone like him have to go through all this?First it was Elisha, I can't believe I hated her for causing him so much pain, now I have done exactly the same to him, if not more. Slowly, I pulled the car door open and climbed in. Hardin seemed to have caught a whiff of what happened, the look on his face was evident. He looked sad, and never spared me a glance all through the drive home. Once we have driven into the house, I practically jumped down from the car and started running inside, hoping that Adrian will be in, I needed to plead for hi
Emily's POV.I quickly rushed after him, blocking the way just before he could pull the door open. "Adrian please." I tried to get hold of his hands but he swiftly moved back avoiding my hand from touching him."What else do you want from me Emily? Haven't you done enough already?" He groaned, I could sense the frustration in his voice."I'm sorry Adrian, please hear me out," I cried. He scoffed dryly. His gaze on me held nothing but disgust and raging anger. "You really do have a lot of guts Emily," he spat, his gaze piercing into mine. "You look me in the eyes and hurt me so deep without any pinch of guilt.""Adrian....""And don't even give me the shit about not knowing how to tell me what was going on because I gave you every chance to talk to me freely, I made myself the safest person you could talk to just so you wouldn't have to find it difficult talking to me about anything, but what did you do? You took advantage of that and rubbed it on my face."I stared at him with tear
Adrian's POV.I dragged my feet frustratedly into the club and went straight to the bar section."A shot please," I said to the waiter.This will make it the second time that I will be in a buzzing underground club ready to soak myself with some really hot liquor, all for the sake of heartbreak.When am I ever going to learn huh?First it was Elisha, and now Emily. What exactly have I done to deserve this? Have I not been loving enough? Is there something that I am not doing right? It hurts because I truly loved Emily more than I have ever loved another woman. She really held a place in my heart. Why did she have to hurt me like this when all I have ever done was to love her unconditionally. It hurts more because despite how hard I was trying to shut her out, somehow, I just couldn't and it was infuriating the hell out of me.I should hate her, I should throw her out and cast her away from my life for hurting me so bad, but somehow, all I could think of was her wellbeing, I couldn't
Adrian's POV. "How about we take this somewhere else?" She winked as we pulled away from the kiss. It was was if my memory was erased, I couldn't think of anything else except this strange woman. I swiftly pulled out my credit card and handed it to the waiter.Once I had settled our payment, we held onto each other and staggered out of the bar.I opened the car door for her and she climbed on, then I entered through the drivers side.Suddenly, she scooted closer and climbed on me.What is she doing? I was going to drive us to the nearest hotel."Uhm... What are you doing? I can't drive us like this," I said."Who said you have to drive?" She muttered leaning close to my ear."Touch me stranger," she whispered grabbing my hands and placed them on her butts, and then in a split second, she leaned down and claimed my lips in an intense kiss.**Emily's POV. My footsteps echoed through thee living room as I paced back and forth, my mind whirling with conflicting emotions. My frustrat
Adrian's POV.I slowly opened my eyes trying to take in the environment but it posed a big threat, my eyelids were heavy and my head too.I squeezed my eyes back shut and relaxed, I didn't care about my environment anymore, it felt safe and conducive, not even the problems I was dealing with popped up in my head, I felt at peace.I suddenly felt a presence beside me, I assumed it was Emily, she stirred and laid her head on my chest, snuggling deeper into me, and in turn, I wrapped my arms around her, in the process, I inhaled the scent of her hair and it sent an unexplainable calmness down my spine.It suddenly occurred to me that this is in no way Emily's scent. My nose suddenly caught her scent again, this time, my eyes popped open in shock.And to more shock, it was an unknown lady lying on my chest, looking closely, I realized that it was the lady from the club last night.What is she doing on my chest? Or rather, what are we doing together in my car?Oh wait!The events of the p
Liam's POV.I paced to and fro the room, anger cursing through me. It hurts so much to see Emily going through so much pain and I can't be there for her. I tried to comfort her but she chased me away, how else am I supposed to be there for her if she doesn't let me? I tried to take my mind off it and get ready for work but who am I kidding? There is no way I can concentrate on anything right now, not when I'm not sure the state she is in right now.How can I even pretend to be okay when the woman that I love with everything in me is probably locked out somewhere, crying herself to stupor. I needed to do something, probably go to the cops or going to the station to make a complain, or send for one of my most active special agents and organize a search party for the kids. Almost immediately, the door flew open and my mother walked in. I had called her yesterday to inform her about the kids kidnap. "Liam, what is going on?" She blurted, hastening her step towards me. "Mom," I mum
Adrian's POV."Dear Lord, please protect Emily," I muttered under my breath as tiny droplets of tears welled up my his eyes.I sat in the living room, staring into space.Every memory of her replayed continuously in my head, haunting me terribly.It has been a whole twenty four hours, and there is no sign of her.I had totally forgotten everything that transpired between us, I just wanted her back. As much as she has hurt me badly, I really do not want anything to happen to her, I still cherished her more than anythingAnd the kids? Who would be so heartless to hurt little children. I couldn't think of whoever could be behind this, but when I do, I'll make sure they pay terribly.I had interrogated every one of the housekeepers but it turned out no one saw her leave the palace.What then could have happened?It suddenly felt like the couch that I was sitting on was beginning to spark fires, prickling painfully at my butt. I was slowly losing my mind as every corner I turned to seeme
Adrian's POV.Her gaze turned turned towards me, the shock on her face was obvious as she stood rooted on the spot. "You." She muttered."You two know each other?" The detective broke the silence. "We don't, and it's not important," she spat, dragging her gaze towards the detective. "What are they here for?""A case of abduction, take them with you," he replied. There was a way he stared at her that was so odd. Suddenly, her words at the bar struck me. "He is supposed to promote me with the others right? I have done more work than those that he promoted, is it because I have refused to give in to his advances?"So this is her boss that she was talking about? Why do I suddenly feel the urge to smack him in the face so hard that he might go blind? Such irritating fellow. Wait? Why am I concerned about her? I feel some type of urge to protect her, despite the hard shield she was putting on as an officer, I could tell that she is really soft inside. I quickly pushed the thoughts of
Aria's POV.I slowly opened my eyes to the soft morning sun that found its way into my room through the window. I had a huge smile on my face but it suddenly disappeared as I realized that I was the only one on the bed, Ryan wasn't beside me anymore.Spranging up with heavy force and anger, a piece of paper fell off from under the pillow beside me and I quickly picked it up.A wide smile broke out on my face as I read through the content."Hey beauty, how was your night? Hope you enjoyed your sleep? For me it's the best I've ever had, sorry I had to leave before you woke up, Eleanor is an early bird, if I didn't get back to her earlier before she woke up, she would notice I didn't sleep in the room, I trust you to handle Jeremy about the party too, get ready for school quickly and come down, I can't wait to see the pretty face of my lover, and FYI, don't put on your panties." I blushed hard as I read the last part."What do I do with you naughty Ryan?" I muttered to myself."Just lov
Aria's POV.I watched as he gulped down imaginary air down his throat, his widened eyes scanning every single area of my body. "How do I look?" I asked smiling down sweetly at him. "Uhmm... you look..ugh...you look perfect, absolutely stunning, seriously," he stuttered, his lips quivering."Awwn, thank you," I squealed happily, jumping around in excitement.It was all an act to execute my plan B which will be set in 3.2.1...I suddenly faked missing my step and fell on top of him on the bed.Our faces inches apart and our eyes staring deep into each others.I could tell that his self control was failing him, as his hands slowly crept up to my butt cheeks and grabbed them roughly.Our faces tugged closer till our lips came in contact, that was it, we lost all sense of morality as our lips battled against each other, suckling and nibbling passionately.Ryan suddenly pulled away, gently pushing me away and stood up from the bed."I should go back to my room now, I'm sorry but I won't b
Aria's POV. I laid on my bed with my heart beating against my chest. I was confident while talking to Ryan, few minutes earlier because I didn't want him to spot my fear, if my plan will pull through then I needed to seal every trace of fear and nervousness in me.Twenty minutes had rolled by and no sign of Ryan, my eyelids were becoming heavy not because I was feeling sleepy, but because tears had no more room in my eyes as it slowly started rolling down my cheeks.He made his choice already, he chose Eleanor over me, despite the efforts I poured out in struggling to win him back, it all went down the drain, at the end of the day, I lost him, now I have no choice but to move on also, I have Jeremy anyway, this is my clue to finally give up.Suddenly, my door slowly cracked open and Ryan walked in."Ryan, you came!" I exclaimed, cleaning off my tears."Hey, what's wrong?" He asked noticing my tears."Nothing serious, these are tears of joy, I was just reminiscing a good memory," I li
Aria's POV. "I'm really happy for you Aria, you and Ryan finally get to stay away from each other, I'm so glad," Christie continued going on and on about it as we sat in the cafeteria."I know right? each of them now has their seperate partners, case settled, now I can finally stop getting worried about my best friend involving in such an act," Josh added.If only you know Josh."Arya make sure you are with Jeremy at all times, I know you said it didn't work the last time but now that Ryan has someone too, you both should occupy yourselve's with your respective partners and viola, everything will be okay and everyone will be happy," Christie adviced."Easier said than done," I mumbled under my breath."Aria, did you just said that? Wait, are you and Ryan still having something going on?" Christie blurted out.Geez! Did i say that out loud? "My goodness, Christie how could you even say a thing like that? Have you forgotten that Ryan and I aren't in good talking terms since I rejected
Aria's POV."Welcome J," I coed happily, hugging him tightly, and opened the door wide for him to step in."Babe, I'm nervous, what if your dad doesn't like me? What if I don't end up impressing him tonight? you know they already have have a bad impression of me from the last time," Jeremy suddenly blurted as we approached the dinning."Stop getting ideas Jeremy, no one is holding what happened against you anymore, they all now understand that it was a mistake okay? So don't panic? Just do you alright? Who wouldn't like you anyway? Have you met yourself, young man?" I sang the last part in a hoarse manly voice and we both bursted into laughter. "Thank you so much Aria, I really needed that," he smiled."Sure thing," I replied placing a quick kiss on his lips and then held his hand."C'mon, lets go," I dragged him towards the dinning.***We all sat around the dinning table munching our food in silence after exchanging pleasantries.Dad suddenly cleared his throat and looked up."Youn
Ryan's POV.Shit! Shit!! Shit!!!" I screamed repeatedly hitting the steering as we drove around the street, it wasn't Eleanor's closing time, I just needed to be out of the house that minute else I would compeletly loose it."How could she want to wear something like that for that jerk?" "Does she even know how she looked?""Like a freaking pornstar, a fucking pornstar!!! Damn it," I continued speaking to myself as I drove around.My mind couldn't erase the memory of her image, from her pretty innocent face, to her flawless thick smooth thighs, her juicy boobs and erect nipples faultlessly visible to my ogling eyes through the see through singlet, and her firm mouth watering ass perfectly encased in the tight skirt she wore. "She is mine, her body, her heart, all of her is fucking mine!!! I yelled, continuously hitting the steering."Are you okay man? A man in the car next to me shouted out to me."Fuck off!! I yelled back at him.Fuck moving on! I haven't moved on a single bit, why
Aria's POV.I woke up with a bright smile on my face reminiscing about the event of the previous night, I finally admitted my feelings for Ryan and also confessed it to him, though I got a rejection from him, but then again, I got a hug and God knows, its been like ages since we last hugged, Eleanor has been taking all the glory but its time to take back what is rightfully mine no matter what it takes.My plans were to kick off immediately and I was more than ready to swing into action.I grabbed my phone to check what time it is, 11 am."Gosh, how did I sleep this long?!It was a Saturday anyway, so I didn't have anything to worry about. Jumping off the bed, I ran all the way to the bathroom, did my usual morning routine and bounced out."Aria! Ryan, come out here now!!" I heard Dad's voice calling out to us and I quickly rushed out. "Morning mom, morning dad," Ryan and I chorused as we both stood in front of them."Morning babies, trust you slept well?" Mom asked and we both nodde
Aria's POV.I found my way to the kitchen only to meet Ryan already seated quietly on one of the kitchen chairs with a glass of milk in his hand.It's their time of the night, why isn't he with her?He suddenly looked up on hearing my footsteps."Aria, what are you doing still up by this time?" He asked."Just came to grab a glass of milk, I can't seem to get a good sleep," I shrugged."You are having one already, can't sleep too?" I asked walking towards the freezer and grabbed a cold jar of yoghurt and a glass."Nah, I just needed to cool off a bit before going back to bed," he replied and I muttered an 'oh'I had hoped he would say yes, then maybe I would have believed he couldn't sleep because he was thinking of me but he had utterly proved me wrong.We both sat there, sipping our yoghurt in silence."Uhm, I should go back to sleep now, goodnight," he suddenly blurted and stood up turning around to leave."Hey Ryan, can I talk to you for a minute?" I quickly stood up as well.He t
Aria's POV."Everyone come out! I have something to say to all of you!!! I screamed walking from each person's room to another knocking on their doors.Ryan was the first to come out of his room and of course in the company of Eleanor.She practically live with us now."Aria, whats going on? Why are you calling everyone out? Can't you see it's late?" He snapped."I'm sorry guys, I just can't keep it to myself anymore, it's really important that I talk to all of you," I replied."Well then, make it as fast and as simple as possible because some of us were in the middle of something," he said, winking seductively at eleanor."Ryan stop," she whispered staring down timidly. I rolled my eyes and looked away, deciding not to give them the reaction they needed from me. Instead, I wanted to get their attention this time. Almost immediately, our parent's room door creaked open and they walked out."Arya what's the matter?" Dad asked."Uhm, I want to talk to you guys about something really v
