Adrian's P O VYet another bright morning of me being seated in my office at the early hours of the day getting all set for work.There was absolutely nothing wrong with my tie but my fingers kept on tugging at it the entire time as I sat down on my seat behind my desk trying to focus on anything at all but I seriously couldn't.I've looked out a countless number of times for any trace of Jordan who promised to be at the office today but Everytime I looked, I wasn't met with her frowning or clueless face as expected but each time, I was met with her absence.Absence that felt like a sting in my throat.That could perhaps be the reason why I suddenly had a problem with my tie.Makes perfect sense.Seconds that slowly turned into several long minutes ticked by and I kept on with the exact same thing up until I slammed my fist hard against my desk for no reason at all before finally pulling myself up to my feet for the first time since I got seated.I rounded behind my chair and stood wi
Jordan's P O VWell, I wouldn't exactly blame me for acting the way I did, I am one girl who already felt a lot too embarrassed enough for one lifetime since this morning and he just had to open his mouth and make that mockery intended statement that made me just wanna bury my head in the ground or anywhere at all.It wasn't really that deep and it's something I would normally just brush off but coming from him, it felt alot too humiliating for me to bare and that was the exact reason why I thought to leave immediately.When he grabbed my wrist to keep me from charging out like I badly wanted doing, I really thought he only just wanted to gloat till he spun me around and his eyes said a totally different thing.I felt his hand circle behind my waist and it suddenly became too hard to breathe. His grip was strong, even if I did attempt struggling to break loose from his hold, there's no possible way I would have been able to pull out from his grip but honestly?That wasn't even the rea
Jordan's P O VDistance surely does makes the heart grow fonder.After my conclusion to keep Adrian at arms length, I got to work the next day and realized all of that wouldn't be possible.No matter how much I tried to ignore him or his voice that sent shivers down my spine, it just kept on playing like sweet melody whenever he spoke to me which was something I couldn't possibly avoid. I also could not block out his intoxicating scent that caused very many tingling sensations all up in my insides. No matter how hard I tried, there was this force that kept on pulling us together like opposite sides of a magnet. The electrifying feeling seeping through my body from his hand placed atop mine the time we both reached out to grab the same file is also quite unexplainable.My head was in agreement with my decision from the past night but my body spoke a different language and that brought me to my new decision to totally avoid him as much as I could.I stopped going over to his office an
Adrian's P O VYou know that feeling when you want something but it just seems to be so out of reach?That's the exact same situation I found myself in.How I went from despising her presence to wanting it so bad is one question I also do not have a response to and for the first time in my life, I felt totally clueless.Seeing her go in that car with the douchebag that single day after work made me feel suffocated and disturbed like I've lost the one thing that means the most to me and I just wouldn't allow that.What I don't quite understand is the reason why she's been avoiding me since the past week.It's been days.... Most of the time, she doesn't show up and uses Travis as an intermediary to get through to me.And when she does decide to show up, she does so only when utterly necessary and before you know it, she's gone.Today also happened to be one of those days I didn't manage to get a single glimpse of her and it got me so disoriented and mad at everyone for no reason up unt
Jordan's P O VI kept tossing and turning in bed almost all night long and that isn't even the weird part.The weird part is how I had that stupid smile tattoed on my face while my fingers traced my lips in response to my memories from this afternoon.Half the time, my cheeks hurt from smiling too much and for the other half time left, I wanted to bury my face deep in my pillow and scream into it but I thought against It.I mean, it's the middle of the night and Ralph is just next door.Speaking of Ralph, I started to feel troubled all over again.I feel like I'm walking right into a catastrophe but I also feel like I have no power to steer my direction.I know Brittany said to go with the flow but, easier said than done right?I am well aware of Ralph's feelings towards me but I couldn't possibly say the same about Adrain.Yes, he kissed me and it definitely was the best kiss of my entire life if I may add but does that really mean anything?Just when I thought I had found the soluti
Jordan's P O VIt's morning.The MORNING. and trust me, I would have felt a lot better if I didn't wake up to this nervous feeling deep inside of me after managing to fall asleep at some point last night for just the little hours left before my new alarm clock did its usual wake up call I found just as annoying as it was useful.I stopped by my selections from last night to decide on any last minute changes but there wasn't anything much I could trust myself to change at this point so I drew in a deep breath to calm my hard laboured lungs before stepping in for a warm bath as the weather this morning appears to be a little chilly.I took my time getting into my beige body con dress that hugged my body like a second skin but still appeared perfectly appropriate and board meeting worthy. It's soft cotton sleeves that reached down my wrist shielded my slender arms from the chilly weather and the small Vee shaped neckline showed only a very tiny peek of my chest and it was just perfect b
Adrian's P O VWomen, as most people say, are a reflection of happiness and I always concluded that saying to be extremely absurd as I never really saw for myself how true all of that really is up until recently after Jordan appeared in my world.She waltzed her way into my world that very day she bumped into me and at this point, that seems to have been the best thing that has happened to me so far.Never in all my days did I expect to derive this much joy from just being around a person. It is at the same time overwhelming as it is Beautiful.The remaining hours of yesterday, I seriously couldn't stop smiling to myself the entire time since after I kissed her. I didn't even get to meet with my visitors anymore but sent Travis in my place because I wanted to dwell in my moment a little longer.Mrs Bell was right. I've become a whole new person and I could feel it. The same changes were those that took me from not caring at all to looking out the door to the conference room countless
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 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
