5 months passed. The joined project of Crimson Meadow and Wine&Vibe is a great success. Many congratulated the two CEOs who worked so hard for this project and for helping a lot of charities as one of their goals. At the end of the month, the two held a press conference. Reporters came to witness the successful joined of the famous married couple. They thought that they will only hear news about the business and how they’ll end the union. However, Chadwick and Adira came out with a big surprise for everyone. “Before we end the conference, Adira and I would like to announce something very important.” Gradually, the two looked at each other and smiled. Their deal is clear. After the five months when the project is over, they will reveal the truth about their divorce. And the time has come. However… “Adira and I decided to marry again.” At Chadwick's words, gasp filled the hall. Tons of lights flashed, capturing each second. What does he mean by marrying Adira again? Everyone as
It’s been three days since Adira married Chadwick McElroy. After three nights of spending her time in Japan for their honeymoon, Adira went back home to her new house as Mrs. McElroy. “Ahhhh. My body feels so tired,” she moaned, sitting on the edge of the bed. And when she lay down, her long and curly red hair scattered. Wearing her sexy undergarments underneath the red robe, Adira’s olive eyes glued to the ceiling. There is nothing much to see there. She’s just trying to ease the fatigue of long hours traveling back to the country. “I still couldn’t believe that I am a married woman now,” she murmured, blinking her eyes, and her long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings. It’s not been that long since Adira agreed on marrying the CEO of the Wine&Vibe company. And now, she’s inside the room and thinking about how fun life can be. She can still remember drinking alone in her condo unit while singing a pop song entitled: “I Don’t Need a Man.” But here she is, trying to familiarize h
Isa Daley. She has been Chadwick’s female friend since high school. According to what Adira heard, Isa and Chadwick did not date each other. However, students in their batch said that Chadwick had been in love with Isa for a long time. ‘In short, he’s a pathetic loser,’ Adira concluded while nodding her head. With crossed arms, she stood outside her husband’s room and listened to Chadwick’s conversation with his first love. [“My wife is pretty? W-Well. I admit that she is indeed pretty.”] A satisfied beam appeared on her luscious lips. She knew that fact very well, but it still felt good to hear it from someone else.[“But in my eyes, she’s not attractive in my eyes,”] added Chadwick.At Chadwick’s remark, the smile on her lips turned crooked. Adira looked at the closed door and snorted. “Huh!”She praised her husband’s fearlessness to escape during their honeymoon, suggesting that they must sleep in separate rooms and saying that his wife is unattractive to another woman. Adira
“Your thing is small. Right?” Your thing is small, right?…thing is small, right?…is small, right?…small, right?..right?Adira’s question echoed in the clear and quiet night. It was a starry night sky with a cold wind gushing from the west. Reports told nothing about the possible eruption of any volcanoes in the whole world. Yet, when Chadwick heard Adira’s question about the most precious thing in his body, he felt as if a sharp lightning cracked in the sky and he heard a thunder booming inside his head, molten him in anger. His temper reached its peak, like a volcano that is about to erupt in its enormous rage. “I can handle that, I think,” Adira said, nodding her head while looking at Chadwick’s center. “But how small is it? Can you give me a hint so I can be prepared?” A fresh swell of rage rose in him, and Chadwick gritted his teeth. The fury is twisting his stomach and blurring his ability to think straight. Catching his breath with his wide-opened mouth, he grabbed the
If it is Isa Daley who came to visit, then she is definitely Chadwick’s visitor. Now, Adira contemplated whether she’ll call her husband or not. ‘Is it really necessary to call him when this house is my house too?’ Adira asked herself. Flaunting a grin, Adira decided to greet the guest alone. She held the doorknob, and when the entrance opened, a pair of clear brown eyes shook in front of her. Isa Daley gaped at the woman who opened the door. She blinked her brown eyes, then observed Adira’s sexy lingerie. Isa gawked at Adira’s silky sleeping wear, her bust, her red lips and the alluring emerald eyes. When Adira blinked, her long lashes flickered like red butterfly wings. ‘Chadwick’s wife is so pretty. And she has charismatic look,’ with this in Isa’s mind, she felt anxious. Yet, she suppressed the fear and straightened her posture. Adira stared at the woman whom her husband has feelings for. Isa Daley has an innocent face, big round brown eyes, small think nose, tiny face and ca
Adira was sitting in front of her office desk while reminiscing the scene unfolded in her new home this early morning: “You have feelings for this lady.” Adira stared down at Isa as she whispered, “Right, Honey?” At Adira’s remark, Chadwick and Isa held their breaths for a moment. They did not expect to hear this answer directly from Adira. As no one from the two could answer her, Adira pulled her hand away from Chadwick’s. Then, she glanced at the woman sitting pathetically on the floor. “Miss Isa. You don’t need to pick those up because I will ask someone else to clean it. After all, YOU ARE MY HUSBAND’S DEAREST GUEST.” Adira smiled at Isa, an eerie and haunting beam, like an image in a broken mirror. Isa felt the chill creeping out on her skin. “And honey,” Adira called the unmovable and stunned Chadwick. She leaned towards him, placing her leg between his thighs before she fixed the collar of his shirt. Chadwick’s eyes dilated in front of the gorgeous woman before him.
Six months have passed. It’s already half a year since Chadwick and Adira married each other. Since then, Adira only wished one thing from her husband. And that is to convince him to sleep with her and warmth her bed. “Can I sleep inside your room?” “Let’s make out.” “Let’s sleep together.” “Honey, let’s have sex.” Living with Adira for the first month was hell to Chadwick. A hell with no escape. Adira never failed to ask him to have sex every day. EVERY SINGLE DAY. And it became a job to Chadwick to decline her. EVERY SINGLE DAY. Until Chadwick got used to her craziness after months. It became a routine for him to decline her, and it also became a routine for Adira to get rejection. Still, the stubborn lady doesn't know how to give up.Just like tonight, Adira came to visit his room to ask him the same thing again.“Darling,” Adira called, standing near the bed where Chadwick is sitting on. She’s wearing a shiny and thin sleepwear dress that was made from silk. If she stood ne
Last night’s incident never left Chadwick’s mind. Even when he’s inside his office and working, Adira’s reaction keeps on playing inside his head all over again. When Isa went to their house, crying and sobbing, she hugged Chadwick. Adira was also there at that time, watching the two of them without much expression. He’s in the verge of really believing that Adira doesn’t really care even if he hugs another woman in front of her. Yet of course, he did not do it on purpose. Chadwick doesn’t want to show that to his wife, yet he could not push Isa at that time. Yes. It is his fault. Chadwick blamed himself for being heartless towards his wife. “She does not look like someone who is mad,” he murmured. ‘As if she’s too tired to have time thinking about us,’ he continued internally. In the middle of his thoughts, his secretary called for him. “Sir.” From the ceiling, Chadwick dropped his gaze towards his employee. “What?” “Just to remind you of your schedule for tomorrow, Sir. You’l

Other than living with Adira in the same place, Chadwick thinks that his other advantage against Geoffret is that he has the support of their secretaries.‘The only hurdle is winning over my ex-wife’s heart.’He realized how hard it is to win a favor from someone. Even if Adira doesn’t have feelings for him when she’s seducing him long time ago, Chadwick can tell how difficult the quest is.‘Maybe, she’s trying to get her revenge and..’His thoughts stopped when he saw his wife standing in front of him.She’s really home.“You’re quite late,” she greeted with a smile.Being with her, his heart pounds with each breath, like a hummingbird’s wings.‘Who cares if she’s testing me o
“Dear brother, It’s me, your stubborn sister who keeps on following you. I am writing a letter to you since you are my last family. And I am happy to have at least you by my side. Remember the first day when we saw each other? I was so captivated by your handsomeness. I thought I saw a prince. Your smiles, your shy approach and your kind attitude, they reached my heart. And maybe, that is the first time I fell in love with you. I kept this a secret for a long time, but it overflowed in a way I couldn’t control it anymore. Mistakes after mistakes. I learned that all my life, I dedicated it to you. I regretted my actions, even the words that I didn’t mean. I am sorry for wishing that. Believe me, I didn’t want our parents to die. Just like you, I was in deep pain too. But in the end, I haven’t learned. I keep on reaching for the affection that you couldn’t give. I was selfish and I hurt many people around me. I am sorry. I should have listened to you. But, it’s too late. I lost my
Third Person’s POVTwo weeks have passed.The accident that happened in the CUR8 mall has never leaked through the media. But Nocturne, who was keeping a close eye on the Crimson Meadow’s CEO has heard the accident. He planned to take his revenge, but he thinks it won’t be good to fight against Adira anymore since she has more card to use. And so, he stopped pursuing the unbeatable leader.Many days passed by and finally, it was time for Adira to go out of the hospital. Oddly, she recovered so fast unlike other patients who underwent the same head injury. Her doctor even joked that she might be from a tiger clan since she healed so quickly.As this will be the day of her discharge, two men waited for her outside her room.Who are these two men?Basically, they are the two guys who keep going back and forth in this place for long two weeks. Hansel said that Adira would recover if they were here, since all they do is fight in front of Adira. To solve that, the guys decided to come on sep
Adira’s POV Often, when someone has a head injury, she won’t remember the details of the accident. What happened, how she got hurt and who’s with her during the incident. But as soon as opened my eyes, everything came to me so vividly. I recalled how I saw the sign board above that was swaying down, when I looked at Chadwick who was standing beneath, when I ran towards his side and when I pushed him away and got hurt instead. Above all, the realization I had while running towards him came to me like a wave. It wasn’t calm, gentle, or destructive. Just… something I expected ever since I admitted that it might be possible to fall in love. I blinked my eyes slowly while looking at the white ceiling above the hospital room. Back then, I really thought I saw the underworld. But it really seems that someone like me was blessed with long life. As I was inwardly about to laugh, a voice called me. “A-Adira?” My numb body, which did not move for long hours, tingled as I turned my head t
Since it hasn’t been announced yet that Chadwick and Adira aren’t a married couple anymore, Chadwick still has the right to play as her husband. And so, he and Falcon took turns watching Adira and waiting for her to wake up. It’s almost been two days already, yet Adira hasn’t woken up. As Chadwick watched her sleep, a faint sad smile drew on his lips. “You are sleeping for too long,” he whispered. “I wanted to tell you a lot about your father.” How Falcon almost collapsed, when he watched over her daughter without sleeping and when he was caught crying while praying for her fast recovery, Chadwick wanted to tell all of this to Adira once she woke up. All past years, Adira believed that her father did not have any affection for her. On which, Chadwick will testify as lies. Falcon loves her daughter, more than anyone in the world. Staring at Adira, Chadwick remembered last night when he and Falcon had a conversation while looking over Adira. “My world collapsed,” Falcon said while
The adrenaline that Geoffrey and Chadwick had as they bring Adira to the hospital haven’t died down yet.When they saw Adira laying down on the ground, unconscious and with blood on her head, they felt an unfamiliar sensation, a combination of adrenaline that made their body cold and electricity tingled their skin.As adrenaline hit them, they realized the situation. Adira is in danger.Chadwick looked at his tainted hands and trembled.He and Geoffrey are currently waiting outside the operating room where Adira was brought in. It’s been an hour, and yet, they haven’t heard anything about her condition.Will she live?Will everything be okay?They wanted to be positive as much as possible. Yet the terrible shock made them anxious.Thinking if something would happen to her is not just painful for Chadwick. It takes everything out of him. He was so distraught over her suffering that it made him feel nauseous and lightheaded.Then guilt came to knock him over.‘This is because of me. I am
Third Person's POVGeoffrey followed where Adira’s gaze peered into. What he saw standing from afar was his old pal, his former buddy and now, his competitor.Years ago, when Isa confessed her feelings to Geoffrey for the first time, Geoffrey saw Chadwick hiding in secret. That day, he only wished for Chadwick to come out and to be brave. If only Chadwick was courageous to get Isa’s love, then it wouldn’t be necessary for Geoffrey to avoid them and lose their friendship.But now, Geoffrey felt the opposite.When Chadwick saw them together, he wished he could just turn around and leave them.'You used all your time and opportunity to be with Adira. Why are you still trying when it is too late?' He asked this in his mind as he stared at him.At last.Something snapped in his brain as he remembered how Adira answered his question before.Adira said that she could fall in love with one of them. As of now, Adira thinks the two of them can make her heart move.'So, being with her for a long
Chadwick’s PovYears ago, when my heart was still young to understand what "courage" really meant, I failed on pursuing my first love.My feet which were ready to approach Isa, had hesitate in the middle. At the end, I stayed in my safe zone.Once I learned that my long-time unrequited love has feelings for Geoffrey, I accepted the fate that the sweet picture of being by her side will remain an unfilmed picture. A black film.Even though I was discovered in an accident and was rejected, I only felt an anticipated fate. Because from the very start, I knew that my place to Isa’s life is a friend. A friend whom she can use when she's having a hard time over her own one-sided love.Isa used me to make Geoffrey jealous. Withal, I did not care. I just waited for what life entails me to do.There are just things and people which I cannot get. No matter how rich and successful I am, I can't gain affection.
