Chapter 65

Adrianna's POV

As we drove, Fredrick asked me. "Do you really want to head back home?"

I sighed when I realized Shawn could be home, waiting for my arrival. I was just tired of my whole family. They just make me want to run away.

"I'm not sure I want to see anyone in my family now. And to be honest, I don't feel like going back home." I said to him,

Fredrick glanced at me. " But there is nothing we can do. We are already heading to my house." I said to him,

We weren't far from my house anymore, so complaining now was no good.

"Who says there's nothing we can do?" He asked.

"We're almost there. What else can you do?" I asked him,

"What about you accompany me back to the company instead?" He suggested.

"Company? We're just a little drive away from my house." I told him.

"It didn't matter. Would you like to go home then?" He asked.

"I guess not."

"Besides, we could use your help. And in return, take your mind off things.

"Okay, then." I agreed.

I wanted to escape the thought

    Chapter 66 Adrianna's POVWhen I went back to my seat, I was unable to focus on my work. My head was spinning with the thought of things Fredrick said to me.I felt sudden heat spread through my body. My face began to flush, and I felt my face get warm. I had never felt this way before. Fredrick was making me feel things no man has been able to make me feel. "No. No. I cannot be blushing." I muttered to myself."Pull yourself together, Adri," I advised myself.I really had to pull myself together. If I didn't, it could get in the way of my not-so-normal life"Hey," someone said, and I turned.It was Lyla."Where have you been?" She asked, curiously."Well…uhh…I've been around." I answered her."I thought you had quit your job. You haven't been here in weeks. What happened?" She asked."I didn't quit. I just had personal issues to resolve. That's all." She said.I didn't want to tell her that Jackson got hurt. We weren't that close enough."Ohh, okay. Anyways, welcome back." She said

    Chapter 67Adrianna POV I heard Adrianna scream my name as she followed me outside. I knew all along that she was trying her best to make me change my mind. So I decided to play along.But there was no way I was letting her win. I knew I was getting on her little by little, but she was too stubborn to admit it.It would take some time, but I was ready to wait for her.I finally reached outside and waited for her to come as well. She came outside panting hard."What the hell?!" She shouted trying to catch her breath."Why are you breathing that much? It wasn't even a long run." I taunted her.She sneered at me angrily. "Give me that." She said, taking her purse pack."Never make me run like that again." She warned."You were trying to play a game back in there so what's wrong with me doing the same?" I asked him.She paused and thought about what I said. She then realized that u had figured out what she was trying to do."That wasn't a game. I was just trying to help you think about y

    Chapter 68Adrianna's POV "Slow down!!" I shouted, running after the kids.They were playing carelessly at Fredrick's house because they were so excited.It was already the weekend, and a deal was a deal. When I told the kids that we would be coming over to stay with their father for the weekend, they were over the moon.We arrived early this morning. I made sure no one was aware of it. I knew what I was doing wasn't wrong. Fredrick was their father, so taking them there wasn't a problem. But I couldn't say the same for myself.I told the kids not to make a fuss about it. That it was our secret. If I didn't tell them that, they might end up telling someone. Someone like my mother who seemed like the closest to them.When Fredrick told me he wanted us at his place, I was very hesitant even after I agreed. But when I got home, I wasn't comfortable staying there. It felt strange staying in my own family's house.Then I made up my mind that we would go, but secretly. I packed the clothes

    Chapter 69Adrianna's POV "Hayley, what are you doing?" I asked her in surprise.I knew she didn't like any other person's food but shoving the food like that…she had never done that. ."Mom, I don't want it. I want your food." She said.I looked at Jackson. I saw the way he looked, he wasn't enjoying as well. Even if he didn't react the same way Hayley did, it showed on his face.Jackson was never the one to throw a tantrum. He mostly keeps to himself. "What's wrong with the food, Hayley?" Fredrick asked her."I just don't want it. I want my mom's food." She cried."Okay, calm down. Jackson, what about you? Is there anything wrong with the food?" Fredrick asked.Jackson was hesitant at first, then he stared at me. "I just want my mom's food." He said."What's going on?" Fredrick asked me in surprise."It's nothing to be worried about. They only eat my food. That's how they've always been. The only other person's food they eat apart from mine is my mom's." I told him."Why?" He as

    Chapter 70 Adrianna's POV After they were done eating, I took them to have their supper. They didn't have that all the time, but they look tired today. I wondered what they were up to with Fredrick.I told them a story before they fell asleep. Immediately I opened the door to leave, Fredrick was standing outside."What are you doing here?" I asked him.It seemed like he was about to go in before I opened the door."I came to see if the kids were asleep,""They're asleep already. You can go see them if you want." I told him."No, I don't want to wake them." He said."Okay. I'll be in the room." I told him.I felt him grab my hand. When I turned to hear what he wanted to say, he didn't say anything."Do you need something? Or do you have something to say?" I asked him, but he didn't say anything."Uhm, yeah." He said, letting go of my hands."I need something." He said."What do you need? I can get it if you want." I told him."You don't have to get it. It's with me already." He sai

    Chapter 71Adrianna's POV He didn't waste anything, he just kissed me. I didn't kiss him back. I thought about how Shawn would feel if he found out that I really cheated on him.I didn't waste anything, I pulled away from him and pushed him away. Whatever he was trying to do was wrong.Fredrick wasn't seeing it because he wasn't the one cheating. I needed to explain things to him and tell him how things would work.As much as I wanted to kiss Fredrick, I knew what I was doing was wrong. I couldn't get my mind off him. That night also replayed in my head.It was always confusing to me why I felt something for Fredrick who I just met months ago, and never felt anything for Shawn.It was not about the fact that he was my kid's father, that wasn't it. Even before I found out, I was always getting this tingling sensation whenever I was with him. He was always getting a hold of me with every little thing he did.I tried to deny cheating on Shawn many times. I didn't love him, so it didn't

    Chapter 72Adrianna's POV I didn't listen to what Fredrick said. I couldn't just ignore the fact that I cheated on Shawn. It was taunting me, and I couldn't handle it.When I went home that night, I didn't see Shawn. I didn't look for him, so I didn't know if he was in.It was good that I was able to control myself this time. No matter how drawn in I was, I had to stop whatever I was doing with Fredrick.Fredrick was a weakness to me, and I couldn't just allow him to get the best of me. If I wasn't vigilant enough, I could lose myself to Fredrick again.I did what I had to do for the rest of the day. When I took care of the kids in the day, it took my mind off it but when I was alone, I went back to regretting my actions and cursing myself every chance I got.It was as if everything I was trying to do wasn't working. It was like the universe was out to get me for my actions.It was really hard to fall asleep. I tried closing my eyes so many times, but it didn't seem to be working.

    Chapter 73Adrianna's POV My head couldn't think straight. The kids that I knew all this time, who never ate anyone's food, were eating Fredrick's food without him trying too much.The whole thing was too big to be understood. They even knew the difference between my food and someone else's food. So, I couldn't say Fredrick tricked them into eating the food.Yesterday, they rejected the maid's food so easily, and today they were eating Fredrick's food. Does he have the privilege because he's their father?I could have said they only ate from close relatives, but it wasn't from all of them. It was from only me, Fredrick, and my mom which was slightly strange."But how did you do it? How did all these happen? And most importantly, how did you get them to eat from you? It's mostly a struggle to give them a bath.""Relax, okay?" He said. " Let me explain everything to you. When I woke up this morning, I checked on the kids. They were already awake, and they looked hungry.They told me t

For some reason, now that he proposed to me, the kiss felt more good.Our past kids were all okay, but having a ring around my shoulder made it better.Frederick's arms wrapped tightly around me while he pulled me closer to deepen the kiss.I didn't hesitate to kiss him back with the same intensity he was using on me.We finally broke apart. Frederick was smiling at me while staring. I smiled back at him, feeling nothing but extreme love for him. There was nothing else I could do other than to stare at him.I had been smiling ever since the ring entered my eyes.

It has been a long time.” He said.“You two seemed pretty cozy over there,” I said, trying to sound casual.Frederick sighed, starting up the engine. “Adrianna, come on.” He said.“Let's just go home,” I told him.I knew that he noticed I wasn't happy about what I saw but he tried to act casual.“Are you guys okay back there?” He asked the kids.“Yeah!” They chorused.“What's wrong with mom?” I heard Jackson ask Frederick.“I have no idea.” He said.“What's wrong, mom?” Hayley asked me.“Nothing, dear. I'm just tired.” I said to her.I knew I said we should go but he should have said something. Instead, he just focused on the road with a neutral expression.He should have known that I would be jealous. Wasn't it obvious? Didn't I make it obvious enough?I decided to remain quiet too. I folded my arms, too, and decided to focus on the road as well.We pulled into the driveway. The kids got out and made their way inside.

    Chapter 115Adrianna's POVI watched the ladybird hug Frederick as she owned him. They seemed to know each other from way back.I couldn't help but feel jealous seeing them together. I tried to brush it off, telling myself that being jealous was ridiculous, but it didn't help.I looked away, trying to focus on the kids but my eyes kept going back to them.Her hands were on his waist for too long. 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. His hands were around her, holding her close with a smile.I watched them, feeling my jealousy increase. I couldn't believe my eyes. Why was Fr

He knew when to act when he thought was right. The kids filled us in on how their day went. How they played games and watched movies all day. They filled us up with the movies they watched. Before I left, I prepared lunch for them. All they needed to do was to heat it.The room was filled with chatter and

    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

I need to do this.”I told him.He held my eyes and said to me. “I'm gonna be near you the whole time. Whatever you need, I'll be there.” I took a deep breath and walked into the house.

What did you want to talk about that seemed so important?”I sighed, prepared to put out everything I wanted to say, but it was stuck in my mouth,h, unable to come out as much as I wanted it to.“Hey, what's on your mind?” He asked, worried.“When I was with Amelia, she confirmed everything that I thought was right.” I started.Frederick looked confused at first. I knew he wouldn't think about that first because we have been through a lot lately. 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

I assumed it was Frederick since he said he would be right back and that he needed to get something.But I was wondering why he knocked when he could have just walked in. “You can come in,” I said, waiting for him to step in.The door opened, and I was surprised, more like shocked, to see Shawn and not Frederick.My smile faltered and I felt a little disappointed that it wasn't Frederick. All the things Shawn had said to me started coming back all over again.“What brings you here?” I asked, trying not to sound too unpleasant.He looks around the room first before looking back at me. “I just wanted to check up on you, and see how you are doing,” he said.I felt uneasy for some reason.
