Jordan's P O VI remember saying I was nervous but right now, I was screaming on the inside!Not only did he ask me to have lunch with him, he stole my hand in his in a way I found really cute and I just couldn't stop smiling to myself ever since.When Brittany came to me with news about Ralph, it was right then I confirmed to myself for a second time that I had somehow chosen Adrian over Ralph because I seriously didn't want to leave.After silently pleading with Brittany to handle the situation which she agreed to with a simple raise of her brows which I very much understood, I felt myself relax and ready to ease into the mood as I have come to terms with at the early hours of this morning when I got into this dress I do not in anyway regret putting on.I Know it's just me being silly but my dress totally matched the color of his tie and it made my organs squeeze on the inside.With how well my body fit perfectly well against his when he held me during the elevator ride definitely a
Adrian's P O VMy unplanned lunch date with Jordan went as smoothly as supposed and the day seemed a lot more promising when she agreed to come to the hotel with me.I'm usually one who keeps to myself but in this case, I'm willing to show her My Entire world and place her at the very center of it all where she really belongs.I have never thought nor wanted to settle down but with the number of women I've encountered in the past, I could surely conclude Jordan to be the object of all my desires.The few number of times I found her in my arms, perfection has never known a better definition than that.The eagerness to always see her face and the electrifying feel of her skin brushing against mine as we walked side by side into the hotel's building could never tire me.I was born of no Royal Blood but I'm willing to make her Queen of my empire. I doubt I could possibly ever describe the amount of relief I felt when she revealed her business with the douchebag to me.I never felt threat
Jordan's P O V I am soo...... Urghh!No matter the number of times anyone tries to convince me all of this wasn't my fault, I'm never believing any of it.It totally is my fault!I seriously don't remember being this terrified in my entire life.I had no tangible reason for taking the stairs at the hotel asides the voice of the little explorer in me urging me to go see what's up there by myself since he was busy talking to some Guy.And like a loose sheep without a Shepherd, I swayed along to the voice in my head and climbed up the stairs waving at the every random person I met on my way up and imagining myself in one of those bright yellow helmets a number of them had on.I reached the top and particularly got interested by the vast spacious area that looked big enough to hold a ball for an entire kingdom and I more than anything wanted to sway carefreely across the shiny marble tied floor and pretend I was a princess dancing with my prince but the ringing of my cellphone interrupt
Jordan's P O VHours breezed by and I remained seated in that one single chair that stood by his bed side while Travis finally brought himself down to the sofa on the far end on one side of the room after pacing around for a good hour and a half.I got lost watching and waiting for Adrian's still fingers to move a bit to realize Travis had got off the chair and was now standing right behind me until I felt his hand rest on one side of my shoulder then I turned to face him.He looked weary and exhausted. Almost really pitiable."I'm gonna go grab something to eat." He informed me in a low voice and I only just nodded in response silently."Would you like something too? Anything at all" He questioned next and yet again, I didn't speak but only just shook my head in response.I really had my insides full earlier during lunch and I seriously doubt I could bring myself to eat anything right now."No, I'm good thank you" I responded after a quick thought."Okay. I'll be right back" came hi
Adrian's P O VReluctantly, I peeled my eyes open several hours later to dawn that kept up with its rude disturbance that didn't relent until I eventually let my eyes open after trying to fight my awakening for so long.I was still present in my private ward and trust me when I say, I had the best sleep I've had my entire life just last night even though I was on the least comfortable beds I've slept in.Her warmth and presence in my arms the entire time was more than enough to get me through the night but I didn't wake up to a smile on my face when my eyes would meet her sleeping face or her eyes piercing into mine as I had expected because I had woken up to her absence.At what point in time she left and how she slipped away without my knowledge felt like a whole mystery to me.I was almost certain I had her secured In my strong hold.A mystery that placed a frown on my face when I sat up to scan the entire room only to be met by Travis's beady eyes complimenting the weird all too w
Jordan's P O VIt's very early on a weekend and that was the only excuse I gave Brittany for keeping me waiting outside her door for good five minutes before she lazily strolled out with a hideous night robe she had on to open the door after her doorbell and cellphone might have gotten tired from my continuous ringing."What took you so long?" I whined out my complaint as I pushed past her and dropped myself down on the first sofa I managed to reach with a loud sigh.Since it was still quite early in the morning and I didn't have my car with me, I had to walk a great deal before I luckily found a cab that just dropped me off some few minutes back and that is why I'm this exhausted!Asides that, i'm totally fine and in case you don't already know that, I went to sleep last night with a wide smile on my face that remained present up until this morning when I woke up to the sound of Travis walking in."I don't know... Maybe it's because you show up at my door at Six in the morning on a S
Jordan's P O VOh great. It's a club. And you know what's even worse? It's crowded with lots of people.I don't hate parties or clubs but its been really impossible trying to squeeze through a lot of bodies on the dance floor without getting stepped on and I know that sounds a little petty but that was one of the reasons why I occasionally turned down Friday nights out with Brittany most of the time.That asides getting hitted on by sweaty drunk guys amongst other reasons.Now that I'm here and almost going deaf by the loud music booming through the speakers from each sides of the room amplified by the chorusing crowd, I wish I was in my bed tucked in and nibbling on a chocolate bar while fantasizing about my day with Adrian than being here right at this momentBut tonight isn't one I could turn down for any ridiculous reason. A promise is a promise and I actually do want to watch Ralph Play."Wuhu! Iloff thizong less stance" Brittany screamed out as we glided our way through the danc
Adrian's P O VPerhaps I shouldn't have rejoiced this soon.Just when I thought I was finally onto a new path, the past shows up and slaps me hard in the face.After Jordan and Brittany left, I really had no interest in staying back in the ward any longer. I don't know how I tolerated it for so long but the harsh smell of antiseptics wasn't thrilling at all and it was only after her absence it seemed to bother me so much.After a brief word with the Doctor, Travis and I alongside Mrs Bell set back for home which wasn't too far away from the hospital which was only about half an hour away.Well, one thing about being back home is that I get to sleep in a better bed tonight.I didn't pay any much attention to Mrs Bell's hesitation to go into the house until seconds later after I followed her in.My body frozeMy head got dazedMy sight blurryMy heart burned with flames of emphatic hurtAnd lastly, Anger seeped through my veins and I could feel it surge through me from my feet up to my
Adrian's P O VI had just watched my Father get carted away with his hands cuffed behind his back and I felt absolutely nothing.He faked his own death and He's been dead to me for several years so i prefered it stayed that way.I probably hated him the more for what he tried doing to Jordan. The original files pertaining to my hotel were retrieved and now in my possession. Everything seemed to be alright now and there was no other issue asides from My Mother giving me a thousand and one reasons why I shouldn't go be with Jordan like I plan to but for the very first time, I found myself only thinking to go against my Mother's wishes.Too much have come between me and Jordan up until this point that I wasn't gonna let my own Mother be the stumbling block now. I couldn't just let that happen.I literally walked out silently with nothing but utmost determination to go grab the woman my world revolves around and preferably take her with me far from here. Away from the rest of the world
Jordan's P O VI was a mess.An emotional wreck at the same time a physical mess because my eyes were not only swollen and red from crying but were also darkened down to little above my chin with the smudges from my mascara.I was still in that same state pacing around the place when my door flung open again."Mom please...." I said out in a weak and broken voice without even turning to see who it was and next, I heard short quick steps reach me from behind and before I could even think to turn so I could see who it is, the person's arms wrapped me from behind.The matching best friend wristwatches we got for both our single asses some valentines ago that sat present on the person's wrist told me who it was and with teary eyes, I turned to face Her and cried into her shoulder while she slowly rubbed my back without saying a word."I'm so sorry." She whispered close to my ears and all I did was nod and wipe on my face with the back of my hand a little too violently."I don't know what
Jordan's P O V I feel like life happened to me so fast and I must say it's particularly hard accepting my new reality but it stared me in the face. The little hug from Ava after I finished saying my last goodbyes to Dad was literally the only thing I needed at that point. I squeezed my little sister in my arms and was grateful for her existence. It feels as though she's my only gift from my father and I wished I brought her as much comfort as she did me. She's only just as old as I was when Dad left Mom and I in the first place so I alone knew how difficult it's gonna get and that too, seeing as it's a worse situation right now because he's never gonna come back, it really is gonna be a lot worse for her.Atleast, I clung unto the hope that he would return to me someday but she doesn't have a chance at that hope.She clearly knows he's never coming back. She slowly eased out from our embrace and I quickly wiped my face clean from tears with the back of my hand
Adrian's P O VBlack has always been my favorite.But right now that I had it on alongside everyone else, it feels more like a plague.Ava's cute little dress didn't get a chance to shine because the look on her face was that of grave sadness.She's certainly the bravest girl ever but I still wished there was anything at all, just a single thing I could do to brighten her even if a little.My eyes left Ava for my Mom who looked to be the most affected by the turn of events.Her tear sunken eyes looked as red and broken as ever and all I could do was gaze. Ralph stood afar off with Brittany wearing somewhat matching expressions on their faces and Fred stood nearby them with his wife's face buried in his chest.I swallowed hard after carefully studying each of them.I found myself in distress but not so much that I couldn't notice Jordan wasn't anywhere in sight.I recalled the last place I had seen her and thought she could still be there and after I took a number of steps away from t
Jordan's P O VFew minutes ago, I stood in place wondering why Adrian's supposedly Dead Father was standing right in front of us but seconds ago, My entire life flashed before my eyes when I saw his gun swing in my direction and he fired without warning.My life played before me in slow motion while I froze with my eyes closed waiting for what was about to come.My head was too busy to make out the number of voices around me that screamed out in horror but I heard them all screaming softly in the background of my head while my eyes were held firmly close.The place went silent and the shot was fired but I felt no impact from it.What had happened?I was more than certain he had aimed at me.More so, I heard and saw him fire.I slowly peeled my eyes open and the first person I saw through my slightly dizzy eyes was Adrian standing a distance opposite me and the look in his eyes looked like he literally was about to shed a good amount of tears. I looked from him to myself in search of
Adrian's P O V"We meet again, SON." His Voice flooded my ears and I was struck with a serious brain cloud that left me Dazed for several minutes.I couldn't grasp what was happening and my swollen head didn't let me a chance to even try.How is he speaking to me right now?How can I see and hear him speak?How is he here?He- He's supposed to be Dead."How- How- How are....." I tried as much as I could to speak but my every utterance came forth as stutters."You must be Really surprised to see me. Well, let me tell you this. Real men never Die so easily." Came his response as though he could see the train of questions I had in my racing thoughts.I could tell I was conscious but I still told myself this is only one of my many nightmares borne from my traumatic experience with having him as A Father because there's no way he's actually here right now and smirking at me.His eyes left me and landed on my mother who seemed like she was soon to pass out where she cowered behind Anthony w
Jordan's P O V The strange man who is the reason I'm being held captive moved away from me after having whispered close to my ears and he returned himself back to his wheelchair still with a disturbing expression on his face and everything about him was questionable. I mean, who uses a wheelchair when he walks perfectly fine. And why does he have a resting evil face? I watched the man look into his wristwatch then rolled away almost completely out of sight on his Mobile chair while I studied him intently still trying to place an identity on him but I couldn't agree with the growing thought in my head because the door was soon thrown open and a troop of people I very well recognized buzzed in. I couldn't keep my eyes focused on them all at the same time so I kept my eyes fixed on the one I had yearned for the whole night up until this moment and he also had his eyes directly on me since he barged in. His steps towards me increased greatly especially when he noticed
Adrian's P O VMy verbal exchange with Ralph soon ended when we both followed Brittany out of the house and were met with a strange thing staring us all in the face."Is this how you recieve your mails?" I questioned as Brittany crouched down to pick up the little enveloped letter we walked out to meet right in front of the doorway after we stepped outside."Who sends mails when you could just text?" Ralph questioned while Brittany flipped the envelope in her hand back and forth probably in search of words but it was plainly blank."How did this get here?" She questioned to no one In particular and I frowned when a thought dropped in my head."This wasn't here while I got here. The real question should be, Who brought this here?" I pointed out and they both kept silent for seconds before Ralph rushed steps away from where we stood towards the curb and while at a spot, he turned his neck from left to right in search of anyone who could have possibly brought this."There's no one in sig
Jordan's P O VMy eyes slowly fluttered open and what followed was a sharp groan that escaped my lips when my previously shut eyes came in contact with the light that invaded my sight.I should have been confused as to where the hell I found myself but surprisingly, my memories came to me alot faster than I had expected.I remember being hauled from where I stood by the school's yard and I also remember being thrown into the hideous looking van like a sack of potatoes but what I don't remember is the face of whosever sent a blow to my head nor do I remember what any of his colleagues that yanked me away look like thanks to the ski masks they had on at that time.This is the second time I'm finding myself in a situation like this just that this time, I'm all to myself and I had nothing to ponder upon as to why anyone would wanna abduct me.No reason I came up with made any sense at all and all I did as I sat there on the cold floor was slowly Blink my eyes open so I could behold the fa
