Adrian's POV.

"More shots," I said to the waiter who now gazed at me with a deep look of concern on his face.

It has been over an hour that I was there and I have absolutely no plans of leaving.

A lot was going through my head and the more I tried to push it to the back of my head, the more intense it surfaced.

"What are you doing still standing?" I casted him an irritated glare and he hurriedly filled up my glass yet again.

I grabbed the tiny glass like a desperate predator clutching onto its prey and gulped down the shot of liquor down my throat in a flash, dropping the empty glass with a loud thud on the counter. "More!" I howled.

He filled it up and I gobbled it all the way in again.

The burning sensation right from my tongue, then throat, and right down to my stomach was all I needed to keep me as miserable as I needed to be at that moment.

"Are you okay sir?" I heard the waiter suddenly ask.

"Just continue refilling the glass and I'll be okay," I mumbled passing the empty

    Adrian's POV."Emily and her ex-husband were recently divorced when we met," the words left my mouth slowly and steadily. I really do not know why I was comfortable speaking with Lydia about my problems but there was something about the way he looked at me that encouraged me to say more. Somehow, it felt as though she understood what I was going through, even if I, myself doesn't really know what I was going through. "There was something about Emily that just immediately clicked with me, I wanted to keep her close to me even without knowing her story, and when she finally told me about her divorce, I was kinda happy because she could finally become mine, I loved her from the very first day I set my eyes on her," Her gaze on me moved me to continue. "When she came clean to me about her pregnancy, I didn't flinch a bit because I knew nothing could stop me from loving her, I loved them unconditionally too, shit, I still love them, they are mine as much as they are hers, I have gotte

    Adrian's POV.I walked into the house, Lydia's words continuously replaying in my head. "You will find someone who's heart will long for you, just as hers longs for Liam, someone who would love you alone and will never have to share herself between you and someone else, someone who would sooth your soul, yes Adrian, you will find that person, even if the time isn't now," I couldn't help but wonder if that would ever be possible, could I really meet someone who would love me the way Emily loves Liam? Or even more?Do I stand a chance of such? I mean, I haven't been so lucky with ladies, first it was Elisha, and now Emily. When will I finally meet the right one?I suddenly halted on my track as I spotted Emily sitting on a couch in the living room, she was half asleep but trying so hard to stay awake, her head kept falling over to rest on the couch. What is she doing? Why isn't she sleeping in the room?"Emily?" I whispered in a low voice and her eyes quickly flew open, she sprung u

    Adrian's POV.I stood frozen on my track for several seconds as I thought of the best possible approach to the situation. There was a tiny voice in my head whispering to me how much time I still have to turn around and walk away from what I was about to do, even if it meant being selfish. But then, Lydia's voice came ringing in my head once again, snapping me out of whatever illusion I had zoned it. I exhaled a deep breath and strengthened my hair. 'You can do this Adrian, it's now or never' "Hey pumpkin," I turned towards her, as she walked down the stairs. "Good morning, Adrian," she flashed me that innocent smile of hers that I can never get enough of. "Did you sleep well, Pumpkin?"She nodded with a warm smile. "I made breakfast, go have your fill at the dining, I'll quickly check who is at the door and join you after," I said, turning around and started heading towards the door. "Adrian." I suddenly heard her call and I halted on my track, turning back around to face her.

    Adrian's POV.My eyes flew wide open as Emily bolted from her seat and rushed towards me, kneeling immediately before me.What the hell is she doing? "I feel terrible Adrian, you really mean so much to me and it's really horrible of me to do this to you," she cried."Emily stand up please," I breathed out frustratedly.I was trying so hard to make the situation less awkward and she was really pushing us towards that direction. "Will you ever forgive me Adrian?" Tears were beginning to roll down her cheeks."Maybe if you stand up, we could talk about that," I replied. "Adrian..""Emily please, I really don't want this situation to get more awkward than it already is," I cut her off in a low whisper. Slowly, she stood to her feet and returned to her seat, the whole while, her gaze was glued to the floor. I was tempted to burst into laughter seeing how extremely smitten she had gotten all of a sudden. "I'm really sorry for the horrible things I said to you when I recently found out

Everything is finally in place, I had thought that it will take the whole of eternity before the situation could be solved. At some point, I was convinced that it might never get resolved, Adrian wasn't going to let me go, and I had so much respect and love for him to just walk away. I couldn't be more glad how everything had turned out, and I couldn't be more grateful to God for the gift of such a perfect man as Adrian, this whole situation would have been a lot uglier if it wasn't for him.Suddenly, my chain of thought was interrupted by a soft knock on the door. I quickly climbed down the bed and headed towards the door. "Hey pumpkin." Adrian's smiling face popped up as I pulled the door open. "Hey." I smiled sheepishly."I'm heading out now, will be back in a short while, don't wait up for me okay?"

    Liam's POV.I slightly pushed my eyes open to the most beautiful woman in the entire universe.Emily.I had taken Adrian's permission to let her stay the night over at my place. I badly wanted her to move in with me immediately but I also wanted to complete the legal process and make her my wife again. Then she can finally be mine and I do not have to take permissions to have her all to myself. If only Adrian knows the gravity of what he did for me, for us. Despite giving me a hell initially, he suddenly turned everything around so swiftly, it was so hard to believe he'd willingly give up his fight for Emily for me. I can't believe she is finally mine now, and for the rest of my life."You are mine, Emily, now and always." "I'm yours, Liam," I was startled to hear her speak, despite her eyes closed like she was still deep asleep."You are awake?"She smiled and slowly snapped her eyes open.

    Emily's POV. "Liam, we have to go pick the kids, I already told Adrian that I will pick them, so he's relaxed," I poked Liam repeatedly as he laid relaxed on the bed with his arms wrapped tightly around me. Well, our intimate session few hours ago had landed us in the bed, and Liam wouldn't let go of me ever since then. "Give me few more minutes please, I want to stay like this some more," he pouted. "No, it's past their closing time already, the kids will be stranded," I continued to poke him. "Ugh! You are so mean." He pouted dramatically grumbling to his feet and started heading out."Hey, you are not going to wait up for me now?" I yelled, running after him. **We pulled up at the school parking lot, almost immediately, my eyes caught sight of Nichole dragging Aria towards a car, with a suspicious look on her face.

  • Let my billionaire ex-husband fall for me   Chapter hundred and thirty six.

    Emily's POV. The silence in the living room was deafening as we all sat in our separate seats avoiding each other's gazes. We had driven the kids home and explained the situation to them the best way we could. Adrian was present too to help out. My gaze shifted to Nichole where she sat with a contended smile on her face, if only there was a way I could wipe away that smug little smile from her face. Why does she always have to make everything so complicated and difficult huh? Liam and I were planning to explain everything to the kids in a more conducive circumstance because we weren't sure how they were going to take it. I mean, it took what felt like an eternity for us adults to come in terms with it, how much more kids? Nichole just had to ruin everything. Sometimes I wonder if she ever thinks of anyone else except herself? Not even Aria, because if she does, she would have thought twice before breaking such heartbreaking news to her in such cruel manner. But typical Nicho

    The restaurant was warm, the golden lights casting a cozy glow over the sleek wooden tables. Soft jazz music played in the background, mingling with the murmurs of the other diners, the clinking of silverware against fine china.I sat by the window, stirring my drink absentmindedly as I watched the city move outside. For the first time in what felt like forever, I was alone. No responsibilities pressing on my shoulders, no demands clawing at my time. Just me, a beautifully plated meal, and the illusion of peace.I let out a long sigh, sinking into the plush chair, allowing myself to bask in the moment. Life had been... exhausting. For years, I had been running. Not literally, but emotionally, mentally. Running to fix things, to prove myself, to erase the shadows of the past. And on top of that, I had a daughter now—a beautiful, sweet little girl who meant everything to me. She had Ryan’s piercing eyes, his lips, but my face. Every time I looked at her, it was like seeing pieces of him

Christie, Josh and I were done with highschool and now in our first year in college. And just like every other day, we were laughing about some stupid class project as we made our way down the sidewalk.Suddenly, my phone tucked in my pocket and I quickly fetched it from my pocket, I didn't recognize the number, but it was an unknown area code, and something about it made my stomach drop.“Hold on, guys,” I said to Christie and Josh before picking the call “Hello?” “Is this Aria Liam's?” a calm voice on the other end asked.“Yes,” I replied, getting confused now. “This is city hall hospital. We need you to come in immediately. Your presence is required.”My mind raced. The urgency in the voice sent a chill down my spine. “What happened? Is everything okay?”“I’m afraid I can’t give you any details over the phone,” she said. “But it’s

    Aria's POV.I had never been so relieved to return to school. Two weeks off, two long weeks of hiding away in my room, avoiding the pitying stares from neighbors, and the whispers of strangers who thought they knew everything. But today, today I was going back. I wasn’t going alone either. My parents were walking beside me, I didn’t know exactly what they had planned, but I knew they were going to do something about the scandal. Something that would either make everything better.. or make it worse.I adjusted the strap of my bag, glancing at my parents as we walked through the front gate of the school. Mom was standing tall, shoulders squared, walking with a determined pace. Dad, on the other hand, had his hands jammed deep into his pockets. They looked like the same parents I had known my whole life, though today felt different. They were on a mission.The moment we stepped onto school grounds, I could feel the tension. The eyes. People were still talking about us.. about the scanda

    Aria's POV.The moment I broke the hug, a strange sensation crawled through my body. It wasn’t pain, but something that felt like an overwhelming wave, an unsettling force pulling at my insides. My stomach twisted, and a sudden wave of nausea surged up through my chest, catching me off guard. My vision blurred, and I swayed, struggling to keep myself upright. I gripped the edge of the chair, my fingers digging into the hard surface in an attempt to ground myself. But her body wasn’t listening to me. It felt like it had betrayed me, as if it had no control of its own."Hey, Aria, what's wrong?" I heard distant voices but I couldn't make out who they belonged to.My head spun, the room seeming to tilt at an impossible angle. The world around me began to dissolve, the sounds muffled as if underwater. I gasped for air, trying to steady myself, but it was as though the air itself had become thick, too heavy for me to breathe. My chest tightened, and my pulse raced, the noise of my heartbea

    Aria's POV.The days dragged on, each one stretching endlessly without Ryan. The grief was a living thing, wrapping around me, suffocating me. I missed him in ways that words could never capture. It wasn’t just his presence; it was the way he made me feel, the way he could make even the worst moments bearable. Now, everything was unbearable.I hadn’t left my room much, only stepping out when my body physically forced me to. I barely ate. I barely slept. When I did sleep, it was restless, haunted by dreams of Ryan... his voice, his touch, his warmth. Only to wake up to the cruel reality that he was gone.Christie and Josh had been my lifeline, visiting almost daily. They would knock, call my name softly, and even if I didn’t answer, they would sit outside my door for hours, talking about everything and nothing at all. I didn’t deserve them, but I needed them. Even if I could barely acknowledge it.It was a week of my suspension today, after spending hours lying in bed, staring blankly

    Ryan's POV.It had been days. Days since Ryan had disappeared from my life, leaving nothing but an empty hole where my heart used to be. I could still feel the echoes of his presence, haunting the corners of the house, in the space where his laughter used to ring, in the quiet that used to be filled with his voice. But now, everything felt hollow. I hadn’t heard from him since that video, that live confession. And with every passing moment, the silence grew louder, consuming me more and more until I couldn’t tell where I ended and the emptiness began.I sat on the floor in the far corner of my room, my knees drawn up to my chest, arms wrapped tightly around them as if I could protect myself from the overwhelming emptiness that consumed me. The walls felt like they were closing in. The quiet, the stillness, it suffocated me. My mind wouldn’t let me escape the thoughts of him. Of what he said. Of what he did. Of what he could have done to escape this nightmare.My heart kept trying to

    Aria's POV.I didn’t think. I just ran.My feet slammed against the cold floor of the hallway as I hurtled down the stairs, my heart racing, pounding in chaotic rhythm. It was as though my entire body was trying to escape the terror and helplessness that consumed me, trying to outrun the suffocating fear that had taken over my mind. My thoughts were a blur, a haze of desperate urgency, but they all had one single, overpowering focus: Ryan.I had to find him. I had to stop him.I absolutely don't know where he is or where to find him but one thing was sure, I will get him back.The words from his confession echoed in my head, over and over again: “I’m leaving. I’ll disappear.”No. He couldn’t. He couldn’t just leave me. Not after everything. Not after the bond we shared, the love, the years of quiet, stolen moments that had built up between us. Ryan was my everything. He was my protector, my constant, the one person who had never looked at me with judgment, never turned his back on me,

    Aria’s POV. my heart pounded against my ribcage, each beat echoing in my ears like a warning. Something felt wrong... deeply wrong. I couldn't quite place it, but it clawed at my insides. The silence in the house was unnerving, oppressive, like the air itself had thickened. The usual heated house filled with laughter and happiness was absent since the day Ryan and I got outed, but today's emptiness felt different. It was as if the whole house had been drained of sound, leaving behind only an unsettling stillness.My eyes darted nervously over the hallway as I reached Ryan’s door. My hand trembled slightly as I pushed it open, the door creaked softly and I stepped inside, expecting to find him lounging on the bed, headphones in, oblivious to the world as he has been doing since the whole scandal. But when I looked around, my stomach sank.His room was completely… empty.The bed was made finely as though no one has laid on it for a while, the edges of the blanket smooth. The chair at h

It's the second day of my suspension and it felt like it had already lasted a lifetime, and the thought of enduring this for two weeks was unbearable.The silence in the house was oppressive, broken only by the faint hum of the air conditioning. I have been replaying every moment of the ordeal in my mind, trying to understand how things had spiraled so far out of control. I wanted so desperately for things to go back to how they were, to have my parents' love and trust again, and for the world to stop feeling like it was closing in on me.
