Adam's POV

I stepped out of the car almost impatiently. Heavens knew that I would rather be anywhere than here at athe moment. My head was al messed up, but my responsibilities awaits me.

I could hear Lisa's heels as they crinkled on the marble floors after me. I didn't know why she had taken the time to be here, but I couldn't care less at this point.

Members of the board were all seated round the enormous desk, by the time I got to the conference room, and the murmures erupted almost instantly.

I halted in my steps when I caught a familiar face.

Aunt?

She seemed to heave a sigh of relief on seeing me, and just then, her words came rushing to my mind.

"You need to sit up and salvage this! You are in a very vulnerable position at this point, and the company as well is almost in ruin, as they're already planning to dismiss you. You know how easy they could manipulate that. You know they've all been waiting for this opportunity!"

I shook my head off the thoughts and made my way to the f

    Draco;It seemed time monetarily passed, as I stood there, staring at an exact replica of me. A fucking mistake brought to this world, which should have never been in existence.His expression was comical though, like he has just seen a ghost. But I could clearly detect the confusion in his gaze He must have forgotten, hadn't he? Well that was why I was here. To help him recall. Surely, I couldn't be the only one plagued with the memories .Kelvin had a white shirt on, the buttons half done. His brows crinkled, puzzled, "You ....what...?" He struggled to form coherent words, as he stared, pointing a finger at me."Words fail you?" I scoffed, and I saw his gaze move towards my right, where Henry stood.He blinked. And then his gaze was back to me."Hello, Kelvin," I said, with a smirk playing on my face. I was so enjoying the different expressions on his face, but I was getting tired of having a face off.Where were his manners?Kelvin seemed to get his bearings and he took some ste

  • MY BULLY, MY HUSBAND    Shock

    Adams; My mind was a mess as I sat in the meeting room with the investors. To say I was focused would have been a joke. This was a deal I couldn't afford to miss, and as much as I was pissed that the investors had requested a pitch alongside Highlife Pharmaceuticals, it was an understatement. Just why the fuck does that mother fucker try to take everything from me? Why? Thankfully, the meeting was done and I grabbed my cell phone. No notifications. Why wasn't she picking up? Rage, with a mix of worry, bubbled in me as I thought about last night. She was shivering a lot, crying so much, and damn it, It's been quite a while I was this worried. Waking up on an empty bed left me in a sour mood this morning. Granted, I was pissed she didn't return home the previous night, AFTER going off with Kelvin, but seeing that way melted all those thoughts away. No matter how hard I tried to think, I couldn't stop worrying about what the hell happened to make her that way. I slid the chai

  • MY BULLY, MY HUSBAND    Fuckin Thrilled

    KELVIN; To say that I was fucking thrilled would be an underrated understatement. I sat in my office, my legs up above my desk, as I watched the News. A sly smile spread across my lips as the thought of how smoothly the plan had gone. Quite out of initial expectations, but this was a discovery I, for one was stunned to hear. "You should wipe that smirk off your face. If I hadn't come up with the idea of cloning his office, we wouldn't have gotten here." Instantly recalling that I wasn't alone In the office, I turned to stare at Lisa, where she lounged lazily on the sofa with a glass of wine in her hands. "I am quite curious, too," I mused, my eyes narrowed, "You seem to be really ecstatic about this. I thought you are in love with him, or something, and wouldn't want to see him sad?" Lisa shot me a glance, and scoffed, "Of course I care about him. That does not mean I am stupid, you know?" "How so?" I asked, as I picked up my glass of wine and chugged it's contents dow

  • MY BULLY, MY HUSBAND    Disbelief

    Adams; I stood, frozen in shock at the scene in front of me. I must have uttered her name because Sienna's head snapped towards me almost immediately. I saw the tears in her eyes. I saw the detached, miserable look in her gaze, as she stood facing Doctor Robinson, and at that very moment, I didn't know how to react. She found out? No, she has found out. A feeling of dread settled in me as I took a step towards her. The moment our eyes met, I could have sworn she looked utterly relieved, but just as quickly as it came, her eyes hardened immediately. " What are you doing here?" She snapped, her tone hard but steady. My mouth opened to say a word, but no words came out of it. I blinked rapidly, taking in the scene. Trying to understand what was going on. Doctor Robinson, who stood by her side, had his gaze on the floor the whole time, and I felt my blood boil. The foolish mother fucker must have informed her or let it slip in a way. " Mr. Adams...." Doctor Robinson began to s

    Sienna; Standing in front of Lisa, I almost lost my bearings at the sight of the person now approaching us. I needed to leave, as I was unable to understand what it was he was here for. How he had gotten a hold of this location as well, seemed to bug me a whole lot. " Oh hello, Mrs Adams.... Fancy meeting you here," the familiar voice of Henry, I supposed was his name, came through as he walked forward. Something seemed off though, asides the fact that i was rooted at the spot, and couldn't move an inch, his eyes roamed about. " What do you think you are doing here!?" I rolled my eyes, almost forgetting that Lisa was here as well. Her voice cut through the slight tension in the air, while she glared daggers at him. I wasn't interested in the least why she had a murderous look in her gaze, but just as I tried to make sense of why he was here, I heard the sound of a car door. Sasha's. " Hey!

    SIENNA'S POV;I was a mess by the time she was done speaking“ What do you want to do now?” She asked, reaching out to hold my hands.“ I need to leave,” I said, wiping the tears off my cheeks.She let out a breath, “ That is why you signed the papers.” “ Yes,” I nodded.“ I still don't get it though….how did he agree to this? He signed it right? Why? What was….the reason he held on to?”“ The news, Sasha. The same.... one you sent to me this morning. He never released that. He never told anyone about it. And now he thinks I did it.”"So....who did?" She asked, with a curious tone."I have no idea. I'm actually pissed that he would think so low of me. Why would I do that? What on earth do I have to gain from it?"Sasha rubbed my shoulders, "Don't let it bother you, Si. You have a lot to focus on right now."I shrugged as I stared out the living room, worried a bit that I hadn't heard the twin's voice for a while.“I'm sorry that this is such short notice, but I really need to leave t

I asked, my temper rising.A heavy feeling rested on me almost immediately, and the stupid smirk on her face wasn't helping matters.Lisa was watching me, the corner of her lips becoming wider by the second.She was enjoying this." I asked you a question!" I stormed towards her, demanding to have an answer.My fingers clenched by my side, but then she chuckled darkly." What? Do you want to hit me? Go ahead, Sienna. I always knew you had a fire in you. I knew you had a bitchy side as well, why don't you go ahead and unleash it right now and stop hiding under the facade of an innocent girl."Her words were sickly sweet but filled with an icy determination. She wanted me to act. She was riling me up, no doubt.I took deep breaths, trying to control myself and my thoughts.What were the possibilities that she knew about my mother and her health condition?Has she been stalking me?Or was there something I was missing?A look of realization crossed my fe

    Adams;Few hours later, I was sat on an empty sofa, with a wide grin on my face. Sienna had left earlier; her friend, Sasha had called and as much as I had wanted to drive her, she had insisted on going alone.I didn't want to push it, especially not after what had just happened. For the first time since we got married, this was the closest we have gotten to a mere conversation.She might not have forgiven me now, but I knew we are making progress, and she was willing to listen to me. And for that, I was utterly grateful.A cough sounded behind me, pulling me out of my thoughts. I snapped my head up, only to find Henry standing in front of me with a wide grin on his face."I can see someone is in a good mood." He chuckled."You can say that again. How long have you been standing there?" I asked, as I stood, going over my desk to grab my keys."Where are you going?" Henry asked with a raised brow."What do you mean...I am heading home of course." I said, unsure on why he was asking tha
