Chapter 56

Fredrick's POV

"Let me take you somewhere else," I told her when I noticed she was crying.

I rubbed off the tears from her eyes and took her to my car.

We got to a restaurant, where we ordered coffee. "Here you go," the waitress served us, smiling.

"Thank you," I told her, without shifting my gaze away from Adrianna.

"Drink some coffee," I told her.

She glanced at me, before picking up the coffee.

She took a sip from it and dropped it down.

"Now that you seem calm, what happened?" I asked her.

She was kind of calm, but she still looked tense.

The only time I had seen her like this, was when Jackson was in the hospital. Apart from that, nothing has ever made her like this ever since I had known her.

"You know you can talk to me about anything. Just tell me what's wrong. Why were you crying?"

Her eye bags were out of shape. She seemed to have been crying for a while now.

    Chapter 57Adrianna's povI felt really good saying everything I felt to Fredrick. Somehow, I felt like a huge burden had been lifted from my shoulder.I still remember everything my father said to me that morning, but talking to Fredrick made me relax a bit.I didn't know why it was Fredrick that came to mind. I mean, I had been with Shawn for years, and it didn't occur to me to call him.My eyes moved around the place, I had never been here before. I tried to savor the beauty of the place when my eyes landed on the clock. At first, I thought it might have been wrong, so I decided to check my phone."Oh, shit " I exclaimed.I had to pick the kids up from school. I had totally forgotten. There were about thirty minutes before they closed, so I could make it."What happened?" Fredrick asked, surprised at my sudden reaction. "I forgot I had to pick the kids. They're almost done for the day " I answered, packing my things in my bag."I can drop you.". He offered "Nope," I said, picking

Fredrick asked them. "Yeah." they both echoed."Nope. You guys take way too much ice cream.” I said."Mom, please…" Jackson begged."Come on, Adrianna. Just let them have it." Fredrick asked."Yeah, mom. This is my first day of returning back to school. I deserve a reward." Jackson said."You deserve a reward for going back to school? Remember I didn't want you going back today, I wanted you to rest. But you insisted on going today. So don't use that against me."I said. "Now, start the car, and let's go," I said to Fredrick."Come on, mom. Okay, I just came up with a great idea. How about we play a game?" Hayley suggested." Yeah. If we win, we get ice cream. And if you win, we go home." Jackson completed it."This is not negotiable. We're going home." I said."That's doesn't sound bad

For four days now, Jackson had been going to school, and nothing seemed off about it. He seemed perfectly okay now.I went on with my usual routine. I prepared them for school, then I took them to school.I hadn't seen Fredrick for three days, I thought he would at least come to see the kids. When I returned, I decided today was the day I was going to relax. I made the decision that I was going to sleep until I had to make lunch for the kids.I went straight to my bed and laid on my bed. I walked past my mother's room. I hadn't talked to my mother for days.I still haven't forgiven her.

    Chapter 60Adrianna's POV Shawn's attitude was really getting alarming. To see him act like that was very rare. Cheating on him with Fredrick? That was just stupid.Amelia was so angry, so when she figured there was no other way she could get back at me, she decided to tell Shawn.I was really surprised at her. Shawn who she never paid attention to, someone whom she insulted several times. She decided to call him just because of jealousy.This was beyond jealousy. She has hated me for years, so I couldn't say it was jealousy. All those years, what was there to be jealous about when she got everything?I was the one who was supposed to be jealous of her. Even when she didn't make an effort, she was always loved. But I always did everything to get my parents to love me, and in the end, they didn't.I spent the remaining time I had thinking of ways to resolve all these with Shawn. I tried calling him back, but he didn't take the call. I texted him, but he didn't answer as well. Though

Shawn who I always thought I could trust, turned against me too by calling me the same thing.His face moved to the side after I slapped him. There was a moment of silence there. I didn't know what to do anymore. I didn't know if slapping him was the best idea, but I couldn't just stand there and watch someone talk shit about me. No matter who they were, they had no rights. I own myself and I get to decide what I get addressed with.Fighting with my sister was one thing. I had been doing that for years now. But having an argument with Shawn like this wasn't normal.Especially one that led to a slap."I told you I wasn't going to tolerate you calling me names again. How

    Chapter 62Adrianna's POV.Shawn and I have been in the same house for days, but we haven't talked. I don't even know what to tell my kids anymore. They were there when we were arguing, and I don't know how to clarify things.Shawn sent me a message. I decided that I had been avoiding his calls and messages for far too long. They need to be answered. He must have learned his lesson, I thought.I opened the message which was piled up already. I read them only to get disappointed again.Please forgive me, Adrianna. I don't care if you had an affair with Fredrick while I was gone. I still want to be with you.I forgive you for giving yourself to Fredrick. Anyone could make the mistake of being a whore, so I don't blame you.Just get back to me, let's settle this.This was what it read.

It was Fredrick who hit him."Ahhhh!!" I screamed, at all the blood that was spilled.When Shawn saw who it was, he threw his punch back. Punches were flying, and I heard the sound of grunting. Both men fought with so much determination. They fought like they were fighting over a price. Like there was a price for the winner.I couldn't believe what was happening. This was something I never imagined. Was this really happening?"Shawn, stop! Fredrick please!" I tried to intervene. But they were both paying no attention to what I was saying.Fredrick landed another punch to Shawn's face which sent him moving back.

"I'm fine."Fredrick's eyes went all over my body. He looked from side to side, scanning my whole body. He looked like he was looking for something. "What?!" I asked him."Are you sure you're not hurt?" He asked."Get a grip. Do you see any bruises on me?" I asked him."I don't think there are any." He answered."You know, Fredrick. I don't think fighting was necessary." I said, shaking my head.Fredrick's face didn't seem like he felt remorse. It just looked like he was stubborn. "I didn't like the way he was talking to you," he said, his voice low." And I couldn't just stand there and watch him talk to you like that," Fredrick said."That was too much," I told him."I couldn't just see him hurt you like that. I had to do something." He explained.I looked at him to see If he was telling the

She was hugging him tight. I might have been exaggerating, but I felt the hug was too clingy and intimate.Who was this woman? And why was Frederick doing nothing about her? All these questions swirled through my head.I had no idea if Frederick had a friend or not. He never talked about it. All I knew was that he went to work and dealt with his pack problems.I didn't know what was going on there. Frederick reciprocated the hug without any argument.

    Chapter 113Adrianna's POVI almost burst into laughter at the sight of my father asking for forgiveness. “You're asking for forgiveness? You? After everything you've done, you're asking me to forgive you?You aren't even capable of apologizing to someone, let alone me. All these are just a trick. A trick to try and manipulate me again, but this time it isn't going to work.”I took another step closer to him.” You do not get to apologize now, not after all these years. You don't get to act like you care about me all of a sudden or you see me as a person.You had decades to make everything right, but you did nothing. All you did was like and manipulate me, Dad.” I said, furiously.“I can't even call you that because you aren't even my real dad.You are not sorry; you're just sorry you were caught. You are only sorry because I found out the truth.If I didn't come here to say all these, you wouldn't think about apologizing to me.” I walked back to my mom. “Can you at least tell me why

So, I wasn't expecting him to put the fact that Hayley was kidnapped aside and look for the truth about my parents.“What do you mean? What exactly did she say?” He asked.“She said I wasn't her real sister. My father and mother aren't my parents either. I was suspicious about this from th
