Jordan's P . O . VNever in all my days did I think I'd miss my bathroom this much.Once I got back home, I rushed in there to ease out the accumulated waste liquid in my body from the day before and since I still felt just as filthy, I settled for a long warm bath soaking in the tub after getting my body freed from my grease stained shirt and dirty pants I don't think I could possibly ever wear out in public again.At least my jacket and handbag were retrieved for me, it's enough consolation except that I loved to wear my tux as a matching two piece but I could still work with half."Jordan???!" Brittany called out to me for the third time in the space of five minutes from inside my room where she's been the entire time since we all got back home."What??" I answered dryly."I'm just making sure you haven't dissolved into the bubbles. Girl, it's been what? An hour? Do you have any plans of getting the hell outta there??" She complained and I chuckled at her exaggeration.I haven't be
Adrian's P . O . VIt shouldn't bother me but it did.That one moment, I was more concerned with the fact that some dude came over to wrap her in his arms than I was interested in meeting the douchebag that had me clubbed to the head and locked up in a hole for a complete twenty four hours!The infuriating imp even had the guts to shove me aside.I was so pissed and I couldn't even tell why although it was clear to me why with the way I clenched my teeth at their joined hands.It really isn't and shouldn't be any of my business but I couldn't even put it past me when I ordered Travis in annoyance to get me out of the premises.While walking to my car, I turned back to look at her and it felt somehow satisfying to find her also looking at me up until the very same douchebag held out his hand and helped her in the car by her waist. I got too unecessarily pissed by it that I had to get in my car so I wouldn't have to watch that anymore."Who the hell is that guy?" I questioned Travis on
Adrian's P . O . VI dozed off to sleep at some point last night and by the time I peeled my eyes open to the first hint of dawn and the soft chirping of birds flying out in the garden, I felt fully rested and ready for the day.Most especially ready to return to the office and drive my fist through Mr Anderson's guts for the unforgivable thing he put me through all in the name of some nasty project which my company now has the liberty to fully take responsibility over in regards to his crime but that wasn't enough punishment for him.I wanted his old criminal ass locked up behind bars till he grows so old and toothless to the point that I never recognize him anymore.Within an hour, I was able to get dressed, help myself to some of the Mac and cheese I had stored in the fridge last night and I was also able to retrieve my spare key from Jane? Before walking her out of my house and down towards the elevator where I met up with Travis who appeared to be just as ready and prepared for t
Jordan's P . O . VIt was the morning of a weekday but I wasn't bothered about going to work because last night, I personally came to the conclusion that i wouldn't be leaving the house to work today. I chose to remain in bed and do absolutely nothing.For all I remember, I was at the verge of giving up my job. At this point, I really could still go along with that plan since my boss turned out to be a greedy psycho.After peeling my eyes open to the rays of sunlight in my room I missed waking up in the previous morning, I pulled myself up to a sitting position after slapping Brittany's hand from off my face.I could seriously hardly remember the rest of last night including how I got up into my room, I had not even the slightest idea about any of it but it certainly was Ralph because I did fall asleep in his arms last night after listening to him confess all of his feelings for me.Since I didn't know how to react nor the right words to say, I chose silence as my next best option an
Jordan's P O VDawn came upon us sooner than expected,and although I previously wanted the time ticking a lot faster, now I seriously have no idea what I want anymore.For some reasons, I felt nervous about going to work today.It was all excitement and anxiety up until this morning I got out of bed with a severe case of cold feet and Mom wasn't even helping at all."Mom why are you even here?" I questioned while brushing through my closet for something to wear and I decided to settle for casual because the last time I went way over, I totally had my regrets."First of, that is a really hurtful thing to say to me and secondly, I didn't get a chance to be with you since you returned and I didn't want to intrude on you and your friends so last night was Mummy's time" she explained the reason why she had been up in my room since last night and I know she's my mother and she missed me and all of that but is feeding me soup and spending the night over really necessary?I'm seriously seein
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 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
