Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 58. Pasta And Convos
♛ Aurora: I twirled a forkful of pasta, feeling the warmth seeping through my veins when I perceived the warm scent of Trish’s home made cooked pasta. Trish looked around, and when she was certain no one else was close to the room, she came back to her seat beside my bed and leaned forward, eyes narrowing as she studied me. “Make things clear to me, Rory. What the hell is going on between you and Adrian these days? You two look seconds away from pulling each other's clothes off. And I'm lost, because what is going on for real? Are we letting him in already?” Seconds from pulling each other's clothes off… what the hell does she mean? I nearly choked on my pasta. “Trish!” “No, don't ‘Trish’ me, please. I need answers. Because I swear, one minute you're staring unblinkingly at him like you want to set him on fire, and the next, you're looking at him like he's the damn oxygen keeping you alive. I'm honestly confused, because what is going on between you two? Spill.” She po

♛Aurora:My heart clenched. The answer was immediate, almost instinctual as it slipped out of my lips, “No.” Trish’s smile widened. “Then I think you already have your answer, babe.” I gave her a look, and after a moment I let out a breath, before reaching out for the glass and taking a sip of water.I sighed, “Which one are you in any way, one moment, you hate him. The other moment you are supporting him. Just pick a damn side, Trish.” Trish let out a chuckle. “I can promise you that whatever reaction or things I'm saying about him are just to mirror how you are feeling. If you want to go back, I'll fully support you, while getting ready to kill him off if he makes another mistake. But if you don't want to go back again, then that's fine. We could live together forever, and I won't get married either, until we grow old together.” I let out a weak laugh, shaking my head at her dramatics. “You’d really stay single for me?” Trish placed a hand over her heart, feigning sinceri

♞ Adrian: “She's better now, and can be discharged by the end of today.” The doctor said, and I nodded, as he listed off everything we needed to get. What and what Rory shouldn't do in order not to stress her emotionally or even physically. I kept nodding till he finally finished. By the time he was done, my gaze dropped to the time on my wristwatch and I noticed it was already five minutes to four. I stepped out of the doctor’s office and made my way down the hallway, walking over to Rory's hospital room. The sound of her hearty laughter stopped me in my tracks, and a smile ghosted my lips. Trish said something again that made Rory laugh again. There was something about the sound of her laughter that kind of filled my inside with warmth. Without another word, I pressed my fingers on the handle of the door and pushed it open. The moment I entered inside, I noticed Rory was sitting on her bed, reading through a file, while Trish stood beside her bed, helping her to pack

♛Aurora:I was smiling. A real one. A smile that actually reached my eyes. One that made my heart feel light and my life feel better. One that I wanted to last for a long time ‘cause of how certain it made me feel.Everything felt worth living again. That was until Adrian’s mother stepped inside, and reminded me that I would still have to face reality by the time I stepped out of this hospital.Her presence reminded me that I had a project to complete, one which someone was trying to sabotage. Her presence reminded me of every single thing I didn't want to get reminded about.There was a sharp silence that settled over the room after she walked in.He gaze landed on Adrian first, and she looked confused and baffled for a moment, but then she took a step forward.Her black heels clicked against the hospital floor, and her icy eyes skimmed over me like I was a stain she couldn’t scrub out.Her confusion immediately settled into disgust and anger when she saw me.She didn’t try to hide

♛Aurora:“After inhaling all that antiseptic for almost a week straight, I fear I can't perceive nice things anymore.” Trish groaned from beside me. She made a gesture of wiping tears from her eyes dramatically, “This is all your fault, Rory.”Despite all the complaints, she still scooped a spoonful of ice cream and led it to her mouth.A small smile grazed my lips, and I spoke out, “You're welcome.”Dmitri snorted from the driver’s seat, catching Trish’s whining through the rearview mirror. “You act like you were the one in the hospital bed,” he said, brows lifting a little, and creasing into a frown. “Pretty sure the only thing you suffered was emotional distress from a lack of Wi-Fi.”Trish clutched her chest, and her brows pulled together as she picked offense in his words. “Excuse you! I happen to be a very sensitive soul, Dmitri. Being around sick people in a hospital that smells of nothing but antiseptic and drugs is traumatic. Do you know how many times I almost cried?”Leon,

♛Aurora:I stared blankly at the message for a long moment. The fear that had been hiding deeply in my heart for days now returned in full force when I realized the message was sent by an unknown number that ended with **29.It was all unusual. At first, I hadn't taken the constant messages from this number seriously. I had taken it as spam messages from someone who probably didn't even know who I am.On the night I signed the divorce papers, I didn't take them seriously either. In high hopes that one day whoever is playing the pranks would stop.But now, I couldn't simply brush this off, because it was clear as daylight that someone out there was trying to play with not just my mental health but was also on a mission to scare me shitless.And somehow, I had a feeling that whoever was sending these messages was behind the accident. And that whoever it was wnated me dead.My fingers tightened around the phone.“You okay?” Trish’s voice cut into my thoughts.I glanced over at her. She

♛ Aurora: Without pondering much on who it might be because I had a feeling it was Adrian, I stood up from the couch and walked over to the door, before unlocking it and pushing the handle down. I Opened the door ajar a little and glanced outside. Relief settled cooly in my nerves when I saw that it was indeed Adrian. His dark rimmed eyes fell on me and a small smile tipped his lips, “Rory,” he called out. “Adrian,” I muttered in a low voice. He stood there, tall and calm, holding a paper bag in one hand, and a box of what I presumed to be sweets and chocolates in another hand. His tie was loose, shirt wrinkled from what must have been a long day, his hair was disheveled and covering part of his face. His eyes softened the second he saw my face. “I brought dinner,” he said, lifting the bag slightly. “And desserts” He added softly as he raised the other hand a little “You’re late.” I said as I briefly glanced at the time on my phone. It was already a couple of minutes after 11.

♛ Aurora: Adrian was silent for a long moment, he didn't answer immediately. When he released a deep breath, I realized he didn't want to say who he was suspecting. My brows pulled together, “Who?” He shook his head and ran his fingers through it, ruffling it before finally saying, “I don't want to get you involved in all of these.” His heavy stare fell on me. My frown deepened, “I'm already involved in it. Right from the moment someone decided to sabotage my work at the site. So what do you mean?” “Things run deeper than that. Other than the fact that you have someone who’s trying to sabotage your work because they have a vendetta against you. There’s also someone out there who is working with them because they have a vendetta against me.” I let his words settle in for a moment. My brows creased as I slowly understood the meaning behind his words. Someone was coming after me because of him? “Who?” I couldn't help but ask. “I can't tell you.” “Why?” He shook h

Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 79. New Number
♛ Aurora: “I can't do this,” I whispered, more to myself, but loud enough for him to hear me. I couldn't even concentrate on driving while I was on my way home. And it was all because of him. To make it all worse, Lucy's attempt at planting seeds of doubts in my head had somehow worked. I couldn't think. My heart felt like it was being shredded into tiny pieces, and it tore me apart. I was so tired of all this. And despite all the love I had in my heart for him, it was a pity that he didn't trust our love so much to be able to completely be honest with me. What on earth could he be keeping to himself that wasn't worth me knowing? Nothing, absolutely nothing serious. The only ever thing that had tore me apart in my years of living was my parents' death, because they left me all alone. Second to that was my divorce with Adrian. And third, was the child I lost. There was nothing else he could say that could destroy me so much that it would break our very fragile relations
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 78. Panic And Heartaches
♞ Adrian: I scrubbed my hands over my face, fingers digging into my eyes until I saw stars. My phone sat on the passenger seat, and I glanced at it, fingers itching to pick it up and call again. The last call had gone unanswered. The one before that too. I’d sent her a message. And it was simple, stupid, and fucking desperate. ‘I’m outside. Can we talk? I just need five minutes.’ Nothing back. I glanced through the car glasses, and my gaze fell on the windows of her house. Maybe she wasn’t home. Or she was and she’d seen my message and rolled her eyes and tossed her phone into a drawer. God, I wouldn’t blame her. I was parked across from her house, my car engine off, with my hands gripping the steering wheel. I had brushed my fingers through my hair countless times that it was all disheveled. My fingers tapped on the steering wheel, searching for something to keep my concentration in check. It didn’t work. I was still unraveling. She hadn’t answered my calls. I co
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 77. No Assurance
♛ Aurora: Just thinking about the look in his eyes before he stepped out pulled my heartstrings. Not in a soft way, but in a cruel one. I gripped the steering wheel tighter and a deep breath escaped my lips. Adrian’s words played in my mind continuously. And then all he left me with was, ‘I’m sorry.’ Like that would do anything, or make it all better. No explanation. No assurance. Just that. I blinked hard, pushing the lump in my throat back where it came from. I shouldn’t have expected anything different. I knew Adrian wasn’t the kind of man who let people in easily, I had known that since I met him, he wouldn't let people know him that deep, especially not when he was hurting. But still... part of me had hoped. Naively.Foolishly. We’ve been together for more than half a decade, so all this wasn't supposed to be something we still bothered about. What was worse than being shut out was being almost trusted. As if I had earned enough of his heart to be touched
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 76. Different Situations, Same Instances
♛ Aurora: The air between us suddenly felt so tight. As if sensing my discomfort, Adrian released a deep sigh and his gaze dropped to where his fingers were. Without another word, he simply reached out and buttoned my shirt for me, after fixing my collar he pulled away from me and sat down on the other end of the couch. My gaze remained on the ceiling for a long moment. I couldn't get up. Rather, I couldn't bring myself to. The feeling in my chest was swallowing me whole and I couldn't do nothing about the ache. It was crazy, all these… I thought we were doing better, and that based on past mistakes that made us lose things we never wanted to, we weren't supposed to go through this path again. But somehow, Adrian still didn't trust me enough to be able to handle whatever he was keeping away from me. Different situations, same instances. I couldn't breathe. Suffocation wrapped itself around me, holding me so tightly. The same feeling and fear I didn't think I would ever f
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 75. Nothing To Say
♛ Aurora: My breasts pressed against his hard, warm abs and a shiver rolled through me. I wanted his shirt off. God, I wanted it off. He ran his face up and down my neck, as though savouring the moment. I had no idea when he reached for my buttons and slowly unbuttoned them. His large hands slid down my stomach, and trailed circles around my navel. I wanted him to go lower, but just as his fingers reached my trousers they slid back up. My skin burned beneath his palm when he touched the bare curve of my waist. His other hand cradled my thigh, my skirt bunched high. He pulled back just slightly, only an inch, resting his forehead against mine. My breath was unsteady. My hands didn't stop roaming. My lips didn’t stop aching. His erection pressed against the inside of my thigh, and if he would only step forward a few inches, it would be right where I wanted it, and needed it. I swayed, my eyes heavy-lidded, when a solid grip came to the side of my neck to hold me still whi
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 74. Deeper
♛ Aurora: Unlike the soft kiss from last night, this one was demanding in a different way. In an entirely different way. Adrian clung to me, pulling our bodies closer to each other as he tilted his head and deepened the kiss. He nibbled my lower lips softly, demanding for access into my mouth. My eyes flickered open and landed on his closed eyes, like he was pouring out every single conflicted emotion he was feeling into the kiss. I opened my mouth slowly, giving him access and soon as I did, Adrian's tongue slid into my mouth, searching for mine. He looked like he wanted to say something to me, but was finding it difficult to voice and instead chose this method of clinging to one another like our lives depended on it. “Adrian,” I called his name, not because I wanted to stop, but because I wanted him to talk to me instead of bottling whatever he was hiding. I swallowed the words stuck to my throat, when his hands which had been on my waist slid lower to my backside.
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 73. With You
♞ Adrian: “Come in.” Rory’s voice answered from inside. My gaze dropped briefly to her assistant, who knocked and stepped aside. Gabriel's words from earlier rang continuously in my thoughts, and I fought hard to push them aside. Without a word, I pushed the door open and walked inside. The moment I did, my gaze locked on Rory’s. She was sitting behind her desk, a glass of water in hand, a thoughtful expression in her eyes. But the second her eyes met mine, something flickered. Something close to surprise at my sudden presence. I wasn’t sure. A warm feeling settled in my chest, and I spared her a small smile, which she returned, “Adrian.” The smile on my face vanished as quick as it came when I noticed the man sitting across from her, as he turned slightly, just enough for me to get a clear view of his face. My brows creased into a tight frown. What the fuck was he doing here? What was his name again, Nath? Norman? Noahm Actually, I didn't give a damn what his name was. F

♛ Aurora: With my arms crossed to my chest, I stared blankly at the person sitting in front of me. “You know, there could have been other methods you could reach out to me than this, right?” “I know.” He responded. And added almost immediately, “Do you realize how long I've been trying to reach out to you? you weren't answering my calls, neither were you replying to my text messages. And from the last time, you did warn me to not bypass your receptionist without an appointment.” My brows furrowed tightly, “You never texted me. Nor called.” I dropped my gaze to my phone and picked it up, before reaching out for it. “I did.” “Noah, you didn't.” “I swear, I called you and texted numerous number of times.” Scrolling through the call logs of my missed calls. I didn't see any message or missed calls from his number which I had saved to my phone. I looked up at him with a frown, “There’s no message or missed calls from you here.” Noah looked offended, his brows pulled tog
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 71. Urgent
♛ Aurora: I arrived at my workplace an hour later than usual. The elevator was silent, safe for Bonnie absentmindedly tapping her feet beside me. I don't think she realized she was even doing it, her gaze was rooted to the screen of her iPad. I spared her a side glance, and pressed my lips into a thin line, before glancing at the count of numbers to the top stairs. A deep sigh escaped my lips, and I shut my eyes close for a moment. Adrian and I had come to the conclusion that it was better to feign ignorance for the meantime till we are able to track every single person connected to the collapse on site. While I didn't completely agree at first, it later dawned on me that it was the only best option we had, at least for now. So, somehow I agreed to act oblivious to it for the next couple of weeks. By then, I would also keep an eye on Bonnie’s every movement. Eventually, she’ll make a mistake that would be too big to hide. I brushed my fingers through my hair, and a deep sigh es
