F-father? Aiden is the father of her child?Her words hit me like a freight train and my world stops spinning.“Darling, who is it-”Aiden arrived without warning, but he froze as soon as he noticed there was a new woman inside. His brows creased in confusion, giving away his uncertainty.“Who are you?”The woman had a hearty chuckle and her eyes gleamed with delight when she spotted Aiden. Without any warning, she leapt into the air, wrapping her arms around him in a sudden but tight embrace. I was taken aback; I hadn't expected this kind of reaction from her.“I have been looking everywhere for you.”I had a lump in my throat, and something inside me shattered when I saw the woman clinging onto Aiden. Even more shocking was that Aiden wasn't pushing her away, a clear indication he was okay with the situation. My stomach twisted in knots and my heart raced as I thought about all the things that had happened between us up until this moment. We'd gone out on dates, laughed together, sh
In the span of a mere second, the four men who had been menacingly surrounding me are swiftly sent hurtling away.Before I even know what has happened, I watch as their forms flail through the air, crashing into one another and then to the ground with heavy thuds. In that same moment, I am stunned silent by a power imposing enough to make every muscle in my body go still and rigid.I slowly tilt my head upwards to survey the scene, and I am taken aback by who I find standing before me. My mind races as I try to make sense of what's going on, my heart skipping a beat when I realize it's him causing this mayhem. He towers over me, and for a moment we just stand there, his piercing gaze seemingly pinning me in place.“What are you doing here, wandering around in the dead of night? You must know how risky it is for a woman like yourself to be out here, all alone! Don't you realize that anything could happen?”It was loud and clear from the tone of his voice that this was a grave matter an
None of us said a word, and I felt an uncomfortable silence fill the room.I couldn’t even dare to look at Adam in the eyes while he was cooking something for me; it felt as if my appreciation for his kindness was far beyond what words could express.I couldn’t help but to take in the entirety of the place as I walked around. It was a very large area, with a high ceiling and beautifully decorated features. It was well-lit and its colors really stood out. There were curtains that matched the carpeting, comfortable furniture and soft cushions on every chair. It was such a pleasant atmosphere that it made me feel relaxed just by being there; anywhere would have felt smaller in comparison to this room's grandness.“Are you feeling hungry? Is your head still hurting? It's important that you don't neglect your health and take care of yourself.”Earlier before we arrived in his kitchen, I told him that my head was pounding from crying too much. Adam, moved by my distress, put in the effort a
I could feel my heart racing as warmth from Adam's body seemed to envelope me. Trying to maintain a sense of composure, I kept my breathing steady and calm. Despite the situation I was in, I felt strangely at ease and comfortable around him.I inhaled deeply, shifting my body away from him so I wouldn’t have to see his half-clothed figure. Even though intellectually I know that Adam won't hurt me, my emotions aren't convinced. Knowing he was lying next to me makes it impossible for me to relax enough to drift off into a restful sleep. I can tell that this is going to be a long night, and as the hours of darkness pass by, the worry persists within my mind.I just couldn't shake the feeling that I had done something wrong, that I had betrayed Aiden in some way. But then the thought of him having a child with another woman hit me like a ton of bricks. It felt like someone had taken a knife and stabbed it right through my heart. This thought replaced any feelings of guilt I could possibly
My eyes widened, my breathing becoming so erratic that I felt as though I could no longer take a full breath. When Adam started to explore my mouth with his own, my entire body began to tremble. I never knew a kiss could be so powerful; it was as though he had somehow captured all of me in just one move. His soft lips were moving against mine, sparks erupting from every angle.“A-adam!”I attempted to stop him as he began to rain down wild kisses on me, but to no avail - he used his strength to pin my body against the bed and in a single swift motion was on top of me. My heart started beating at an alarming rate and I could feel my skin flush with heat. To make matters worse, his touch seemed to paralyze me so that I couldn't move away from him even if I wanted.He started to roam his hands all over my body, exploring every inch of my skin that was uncovered by his oversized shirt and boxers. His fingertips seemed to fit perfectly with the curves of my body, as if they were made for e
I can't believe I'm doing this, letting Adam take such liberties with me when we are in full control of our senses. It feels wrong, although there is a certain thrill that accompanies the forbidden pleasure of it all. I can feel my heart rate increasing and I'm unable to fight against the sensations coursing through me as his tongue swirls around my most intimate parts. We both know what we are doing is inappropriate and yet here he is, taking me past the point of no return.“A-adam…”My legs tremble with excitement as he kisses me feverishly, driving my mind into a blissful state as his tongue connects our bodies. His passionate touch has my stomach in knots and I can't seem to make sense of what's going on. Every inch of my being is enveloped in absolute pleasure and I'm not sure how much more I'm capable of taking before I break. His every caress sends fire through my veins and it's almost like nothing else exists in the world right now but him.“You’re so delicious…hmmm…”I gasped
I awoke to the warmth of the morning sun on my face and felt a hand gently stroking my inner breast tenderly, massaging it in soft circles.The sensation was exquisitely enjoyable, radiating through my whole body and filling me with a sense of pleasure. As I took in this moment of blissful comfort, I thought to myself how lucky I am to have someone who cares for me so deeply that they can make me feel this way.I was startled awake by the thought of Aiden. It has become a daily occurrence for him to invade my morning thoughts in such a way. I let out an involuntary sigh, which soon changed into a smile as I allowed myself to reminisce on all that he has brought into my life. He is more than just a passing acquaintance, he became part of me and my everyday routine. Every morning, his presence rouses something deep inside me that no other person ever could.“Good morning…”Suddenly, all those thoughts collided and shattered like a plane plunged to the ground when the tone of his voice s
“A-aiden…what are you doing here?”I was astounded that I even managed to get the words out of my mouth, considering my internal state of panic underneath it all.My breaths were shallow and raspy, as if something were blocking my throat and preventing me from speaking properly. My heart raced faster than ever before and my mind was foggy with uncertainty while looking at those dangerous eyes.Aiden was silent, but he was brimming with rage. He rapidly strode towards me and without hesitation, grabbed ahold of my wrist tightly as if his grip alone could express his emotions. His movements were slow but firm, and I could feel the veins in my arm beginning to pulse from the pressure he applied.“We’re going home.”The deep, powerful timbre of his voice sent shivers down my spine as he spoke. I could feel the emotion and intensity that coated each syllable and I could sense something stirring within me.But also dangerous.Before I could do anything, Aiden suddenly grabbed my arm and rus
I was running, desperately trying to escape the clutches of whatever danger was chasing me. I refused to turn back and look because of my fear, but could always feel the presence just behind me.My heart raced as I continued on, not knowing what would happen if they caught up. The sound of metal hitting the ground with each footstep only made matters worst as the chaser closed in on me. Desperate for a way out, I frantically searched around for a solution to escape.“You can’t escape from me!”My heart leapt when I heard her voice coming closer and I panicked, running away from the source. Just as I was about to turn around the corner, out of sight, my foot got tangled up on something on the ground causing me to trip and fall harshly onto the ground.A sharp pain shot up my leg that caused me to cry out in agony. The noise of me falling had surely alerted her of my presence.“I have warned you a thousand times already...”I slowly glanced back over my shoulder and felt my jaw drop in
Everyone was running around frantically trying their best to make sure everything would be ready in time for the upcoming event.I nervously bit my bottom lip as all of them were preoccupied with last minute tasks when suddenly, the make-up artist caught me off guard and started talking to me.“Madam, I need you to lift your gaze.”I took a deep breath, steeling myself before finally raising my eyes to meet those of the make up artist. She gestured for me to look higher, so I complied without hesitation. We had been at this for two hours already.Though I wouldn't say I'm complaining, my bottom is already becoming quite numb sitting in the same spot for such a long time. It's understandable that they have to do their jobs, but my need to stand up and move around has become ever more urgent.“It’s almost done, Madame.”I had nodded my head in agreement but the hair stylist gently restrained my head, keeping me still as she attended to every strand of my hair.I was not accustomed to be
The emergency services and police had come in order to locate my mother's remains.I found myself alone at the back of the ambulance, with a blanket draped around my shoulders to keep me warm. The paramedics had already attended to some of my injury, but it was decided that I should be taken to the hospital for a further examination, they wanted to make sure there were no internal injuries that may have gone unnoticed. As I lay there, thoughts raced through my head.I have been feeling a little lost ever since the news of my mother’s passing arrived. I take one look at the cup of coffee in my hands, but can't bring myself to take a sip. At this moment, I feel like a hollowed-out shell on the inside, completely devoid of any emotion. The realization is slowly sinking in, she's gone and nothing can be done to change that fact.The thought on my mind lingers…have I finally attained freedom? Now that she’s gone?“Darling…”I shook my head to clear the fog of my thoughts when I heard Aiden
“Leilani! Where the hell are you going?!”I didn't give Aiden a second thought when his voice cracked with frustration as he called my name. Good thing the door beside me wasn't yet locked and I was able to hurl myself from the car, sprinting in the direction of Adam where I can save him!I can’t believe Aiden! Adam gave up everything for us, placing his life on the line selflessly in order to help us out of a difficult situation.And yet, Aiden isn't willing to do the same and put their differences aside in order to save another person's life. I understand that he hold a grudge against Adam, but surely this isn't an appropriate response?We are talking about someone's life here!I heard Aiden’s shouts echoing off behind me, ordering me to turn around and come back but I refused to do so.“Mother! Stop!”When I finally laid eyes on Adam and mother, it felt like time had stopped. I had to pause for a moment to catch my breath, and when I looked at mother her gaze seemed almost venomous
It was too late.Everything came to a standstill in my mind, as if time had suddenly stopped moving and the clock had stopped ticking when I finally understood what was happening.My mother had pushed me far off of the cliff.My eyes widened, a feeling of helplessness consuming me as I stretched my arm out before me, despite knowing that there was no one who could rescue me from this situation. I felt my heart thumping so hard against my chest, memories of the events leading up to this moment all too vivid in my mind.A single tear escaped from my eye as I prayed under my breath. It was not at all what I had expected, this would end up being the way I would die. In my mind, I pictured myself alive and running away from my mother, starting a new life and living the kind of life that was meant for me - but it all turned out to be nothing more than another dream.Is this where it's all going to end? What did I possibly do to deserve such a cruel fate? Am I okay with my life ending in suc
The cold air blew in like a wild animal, biting at my delicate skin and making me shiver.Despite this, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her face, we stood so close as if no distance could separate us from each other- neither space nor time. The cliff we were standing on overlooked the city below us, its lights glowing in darkness like thousands of distant stars that had found their way home to us.I've always been aware of the fact that my mother has never had a very high opinion of me. From the moment I was born, she seemed to have a contempt for me that grew over time. Not only was I constantly being criticized by her, but she would often blame me for things even when it wasn't my fault. It seemed like no matter how hard I tried or how much effort I put into pleasing her, she would always find something to be disappointed in.I was aware of this all along, but why did I get so hurt when I heard those words come out of her mouth? When I looked into her eyes, there was no sign of regre
It was an icy night, the darkness so oppressive it felt like I could taste it.I had no idea where I was going but I knew one thing, whatever lay ahead of me had to be better than living in fear of the demons that continued to haunt my footsteps. As I ran, my breath foggy plumes visible against the moonlight, a single thought kept me going - freedom. Freedom from this nightmare that followed me wherever I went.“Leilani! You can’t live without me!”Her voice had an eerily chilling effect on me. I felt my entire body tense up, my spine becoming rigid with fear.Goosebumps rose on my skin and I trembled, feeling powerless in her presence. Refusing to turn around and face her, to risk seeing the knife she brandished threateningly in her hand, I valiantly did all that was in my power to keep my cowardice contained.I glance up from the sky, “I-i'm begging you, please help me find a way to escape from her. I need somewhere that is safe, where I can go and forget this nightmare that she has
I felt a deep, primal anger bubbling up from within me as the word cursed spilled out of my mouth. My mind struggled to contend with what I had just heard, and my eyes widened in utter disbelief.I can’t f*cking believe that f*cker. I can hardly restrain my anger, feeling the urge to throw my phone across the room. But I take a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself down and think straight.I quickly dialed my assistant’s number to uncover what Adam was really doing. I had a suspicion he knew where Leilani was and that he was trying to keep her whereabouts hidden. I could feel my anger rising, a burning sensation in the pit of my stomach as it became more evident that something fishy was going on.“Sir Villarreal, how may I be of assistance to you today?”“I want you to locate Adam Hallowes! He needs to be located as soon as possible and explore every place and lead as quickly as you can! Once he has been tracked down, contact me immediately and let me know his whereabouts!”I ended
“A-alicia, how could you?”I slowly shake my head in disbelief, studying her face for any hint of guilt or regret. It's hard to believe that someone as kind and gentle as her could be capable of such a thing…Alicia was speechless as she looked at me, unsure of what to do. Her eyes widened in fear and shock by my sudden presence. I slowly glanced down at the phone that she dropped on the floor, remembering everything that had been said during her conversation with Leilani’s mother.All of her words were clear in my mind…“How could you?”Taking a deep breath in, I slowly made my way towards her and grabbed her shoulders. As I gazed at her, she avoided my gaze and refused to look me in the eye. My heart started to race as my mind was filled with different questions.I don't want to give attention to these ideas, but the words were loud and clear enough for me to directly accuse her. It's difficult for me to accept this. This is an uncomfortable sensation - like tiny needles prodding at
