~•~

I asked my father when I could return to work but he told me I wasn’t going back. The ruckus had died down and reporters had moved on to something else since they weren’t getting any attention from me or Saint, but my father knew that as soon as word got out that I was back to work, they would come back.

I was bored. Sofia was busy with her internship. Chloe couldn’t be reached and by now, Charlotte was tired of hanging out with me because of how often we hung out. I was going to see her again later today though but for now, I was bored.

Social media wasn’t as interesting as it used to be and I was just realizing that I didn’t have any hobbies outside of it.

I knew Saint was busy but I had gone two weeks without seeing him so I couldn’t stop myself from calling him. We mostly communicated through texts and I missed hearing his voice.

“Is something wrong?” He asked as soon as he picked up the call.

I huffed. “Hello to you too. Is that any way to greet yo

    Adriana Jensen ~•~ Charlotte suggested I post some pictures before turning off my phone and I didn’t hesitate to agree. Pictures were my favorite things to take. She handed me a pair of shades and made me lie down on the sun bed. She gave me a book and I pretended to read as I laid on my belly while she took some pictures. I had already taken some in the water and my body and hair were still wet. “Are you taking thirst traps?” Caleb asked. He was the kind of person who couldn’t walk away after seeing something interesting. Caden saw us taking pictures and he merely watched from afar. “Instead of asking stupid questions, why don’t you get something for her to eat?” Charlotte was naturally a sweet girl but whenever she was amongst her siblings, she got rude quickly. Caleb ignored her. “Send them to my DM first before you post them anywhere else.” I scoffed. “You wish.” “You bet your fine ass I do.” “Ewww.” Charlotte’s face twisted in disgust and she stopped taking pictu

    Saint Giordano ~•~ I finally understood why women often used the phrase, “If he wanted to, he would,” because that was the only thing that could explain how I was able to get back to California on the same day that I angered Adriana. I didn’t know what exactly I’d done, but I knew I had done something very wrong when she suddenly hung up on me and refused to take my calls after that. As though my calls were totally invisible to her, she decided to post pictures of herself in a bikini as though she was trying to rile me up on purpose. When she posted the pictures, her location showed she was at her friend’s place. After that, her phone was suddenly turned off. The problem was that the said friend had four brothers and it was probably one of them in the picture. I was less worried because she wasn’t with random men but four men? I couldn’t even get angry. I was too tired to. I was just on an unplanned fourteen-hour flight and Donald was dozing off next to me. I was supposed

    Adriana Jensen~•~I woke up with my arms around an unfamiliar object. I squinted my eyes only to see that I was lying in bed with a stuffed animal that was almost my size.Frowning, I looked around and realized that I wasn’t at home. I was at Saint’s place. How the hell did I end up here? He was in China, wasn’t he? However, I didn’t know the passcode to his place so I couldn’t get in myself. That meant one thing.“You’re awake.” I heard him speak as he came into the bedroom.I sat up slowly, ignoring the throbbing in my head. I hated drinking because of the consequences but I couldn’t help myself this time. I couldn’t stop thinking about Saint and I wanted to stop. “What am I doing here?”He arched an eyebrow at me as though I was asking an obvious question.“How did I end up here?” I rephrased. “And since when did you have stuffed animals in your house?”“Since last night.” He walked further into the room. “You requested for one. I had no choice but to buy it. Do you not remember?”

    Adriana Jensen~•~“You’re living my dream life, Adriana.”I laughed at Sophia’s words. “Your dream life is to go on a trip with your ex and find out he’s cheating on you, so you end up going after his uncle who you’re not sure really likes you but wants to keep you around anyway?”“I don’t mind going through all that as long as the uncle is a handsome rich young man who commands attention wherever he goes.”Saint did command attention wherever he found himself.“She’s right.” Charlotte agreed. “Your situation is the real definition of as one door closes, another opens. I don’t know what you did in your past life to be this lucky.”I blushed. So this was what it felt like to hear others brag about your partner? They never did this when I was still with Ben. They didn’t talk bad about him but they didn’t exactly praise him either, but maybe, that was because he wasn’t very present in my life.I’d known Saint for all of two months and he loved picking me up and buying me stuff. He even

    Adriana Jensen~•~I was waiting for Saint outside the airport. It was a private airport but I still didn’t want to go inside without him. I was very excited about our trip and it definitely showed when he came out and I immediately ran to hug him.He was taken by surprise but when I wrapped my legs around his waist, he didn’t hesitate to place his hand around my waist, keeping me steady.He chuckled lowly. “Are you that happy to see me?”Instead of answering, I kissed him. He kissed me back and we stayed in that position for a few seconds before a deliberate cough broke us apart.I blushed. I had almost forgotten my friends dropped me off. Saint wanted to pick me up but that would seem suspicious so my friends volunteered to continue their act until I was gone. “Uh, meet Charlotte and Sofia.” I introduced them, not bothering to get off Saint. He wasn’t making any moves to drop me either. “Guys, this is Saint.”“Yeah, we can tell.” Sofia teased, arching her eyebrows suggestively. Oka

    Saint Giordano~•~Adriana’s friends were good at embarrassing her. Mine were good at annoying the shit out of me. Vito Giancana and I weren’t very close but he never missed the opportunity to mess with me whenever he had the chance because there was no reason he would put a woman I used to fuck with on the same flight with me and my girlfriend.I didn’t react to it because I didn’t want Adriana to be worried about her. There was nothing between Samantha and me anymore. We didn’t even last two months. We weren’t compatible and I made sure to end things with her before it could go further. She didn’t take well to the news but she was a busy woman so she didn’t have the time to make me change my mind.I had left him in charge of everything since I was using his jet, but maybe, it was his payback for disturbing him when he was busy planning his marriage.“What are you thinking about?” Adriana asked, cutting into my thoughts. “Are you thinking about another woman?”I opened my eyes and co

  • Seducing my Ex-Boyfriend’s Uncle   53. What are you up to?

    Adriana Jensen ~•~ We had landed but the location was still a surprise. I hadn’t been looking out the window so I couldn’t even try to decipher where we were, which was why I didn’t hesitate to check my location. My mouth dropped open when I saw that we were in Spain. Saint peeked at my phone over my shoulders. He sighed. “Way to ruin a surprise.” “Spain??” I turned around. My excitement had doubled up already. I had wanted to visit Spain forever, but my family trips were always limited to English-speaking cities. I planned to visit Spain after my graduation. I never would have imagined that Saint would bring me here. Not responding to me, he took my hand in his and pulled me out of the jet. We landed at a public airport, but the amount of people walking around wasn't enough to dampen my excitement. A grin was plastered on my face as we retrieved our luggage and went out of the airport to see that a car was already waiting for us. “Hotelera?” The cab driver asked. “Era

    Adriana Jensen~•~I frowned at him. “What do you mean?””Go and get dressed.”“I am ready.” I insisted.His tongue swiped out to wet his bottom lip. “Adriana.” He took a step closer to me. “I don’t know what you are trying to do but you’re definitely not walking around without a top.”I arched my eyebrows and closed the distance between us, knowing damn well what I was doing. “What is that supposed to mean?” I was putting on a top and a skirt. It just so happened that the top was made with minimal clothing. It was more of a breast cover than anything and I knew exactly what I was getting into when I decided to wear it.His fingers wrapped around my neck like an accessory. He leaned down and made sure his mouth was close to my ear when he spoke. “What I mean is you’re not going out looking like that, baby.”I breathed in and out, making him focus on the heavy rise and fall of my chest. Seeing as his eyes were stuck there, my hand found the knot of the top. As I undid it, the material

    Adriana Jensen~•~“Baby, if you don’t cheer up, people will think I did something bad to you.”I made a sound that was somewhere between a laugh and a sniffle. “I’m happy,” I assured him. “It’s just weird that all three of us will never be in the same class again. Everyone will get busy.”“You can do your masters together?” He offered.I made a face. “I don’t want to study anymore.”Saint laughed and pulled me closer to him so he could drop a kiss on my forehead. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.”Just those few words had me feeling better and looking forward to our vacation. “Where are we going this time?”“Where do you want to go?”I chuckled. “You already have it planned out. Do you intend to change it if I say a different location?”He nodded.“Just tell me.”“How do you like Italy?” He asked as he played with my hair.A big grin immediately came on my face. “We’re going to Italy?” I squealed. On our last vacation, we went to Paris. Saint was taking me to all the

    Adriana Jensen~•~The last six months of my life have been the best, mainly because of my relationship with Saint. We had our fights here and there because two stubborn people in a relationship were bound to be trouble, but we always got over it.Well, Saint forced me to talk whenever I gave him the silent treatment. He was the mature one. Sometimes, I wondered if he was tired of dating a younger girl. If he was, he never showed it.I was currently at a restaurant with my family and Saint’s family, including Ben, yes. Over time, I’d learned to tolerate him, but he did apologize a few months ago so we were good. I would never get along with him the way I got along with Luca but I didn’t try to scratch out his eyes whenever I saw him so there was that.Benjamin and Fabiola hadn’t lasted. Word got out that Fabiola cheated on Ben, but after that, we all found out that Ben was also cheating on Fabiola. Apparently, they were in love and were both devastated by the other’s cheating even if

    Adriana Jensen~•~“What are you up to this time?”It was cold out but as always, fashion came first. I was wearing a dress and Saint took advantage of that, bunching it up so he could trace my slit through my panties.He chuckled. “How are you playing games when you’re this wet?”I shrugged. “Maybe, I just like the chase.”“You like the chase?” He asked to confirm and I nodded.Saint took a step back and his eyes ran up and down my body once. His eyes were dark, almost predatory. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, I ran.The door was still open and I heard them start to close before I heard his slow footsteps behind me. He wasn’t running. I had never been good at sports and he was taller than I was so it wasn’t surprising that he only had to walk to catch up with me.My dress was making it harder to run and I was tempted to just take it off, but it was going to make it easier for him. That wasn’t what I wanted.“You’re making this harder for yourself.” He

    Adriana Jensen~•~My jaw dropped.Right from time, my mom had been cool about our relationship. She had been the first to approve all those months ago. Why was she asking such a question that implied that Saint was a creep?“Mom!” I hissed out, but she blatantly ignored me, staring at the man beside me, and awaiting his answer. I turned to Saint. “You don’t have to answer that.”Saint also ignored me. “I’m not certain what you mean by that, ma’am, but if you’re asking if I’m only attracted to younger girls, then the answer is no. I like Adriana because she is Adriana. If I only liked her for her age, then I’m afraid our relationship wouldn’t last, would it?”“So you mean you’ll be together for a long time?”“A very long time,” Saint affirmed with a tight smile. I knew the question was uncomfortable but he had handled the situation well. It was one of the reasons I liked Saint. He was always in control. “She’s smart, funny, beautiful, kind, and doesn’t give up.” My cheeks heated up at

    Saint Giordano~•~“Are you nervous?” Adriana asked me.I arched an eyebrow and stared pointedly at the leg that had been shaking for the past few minutes. With a chuckle, I placed one hand on her leg while the other was on the steering wheel. “Baby, I think you’re the one who’s nervous.”She laughed dryly. “Me? Nervous? Why would I be nervous?”“You tell me.” I gave a one-shouldered shrug. “Why are you nervous?”“I’m not nervous. I’ve lived with them for years:”“If you say so, baby.” I let her believe whatever she wanted.We were having Thanksgiving dinner at her parents’ place. According to her, it would be the first time I was officially meeting them so everything had to go well. I told her not to worry but she was worried anyway.It didn’t matter that her sisters were also bringing their partners. She had main character energy so she thought all the attention would be on her. It was cute.I didn’t know why she was so worried. Her father already knew I was going to marry her, whic

  • Seducing my Ex-Boyfriend’s Uncle   76. Mother

    Adriana Jensen~•~I sighed at the reminder of my meeting with Lisa. I had called her earlier this week saying that we could meet up. The relief in her voice was obvious. She had been waiting for more than a month after all. It was already time for us to meet, but I was going to make her wait a bit more. She had me waiting for her for years before I accepted the fact that I had a new mother.“She can wait for me. After all, I waited a long time for her.”Saint chuckled, squeezing my shoulder in a comforting manner. “True.”Before me, Saint went to work all the days of the week. He even tried to do it on some weekends since I moved in with him, but I was stubborn and bratty (according to him) so I didn’t let him. Our compromise was to let him work from home instead, but for shorter hours and with breaks in between.“Just let me know when you’re ready. I’ll drive you.”I looked at the time. It was thirty minutes past the time we planned to meet but she hadn’t called yet. I guess I cou

    Adriana Jensen ~•~Living with Saint was more fun than I expected it to be. It gave me an inkling of what our married life was going to be like… except Luca living with us, of course.Fuck. I was so down bad. I wanted to be a wife so badly and it was starting to get in my head. I wouldn’t be surprised if I ended up proposing to him instead. We had been together for only three months yet I loved him this much.It was never like this with Ben. Maybe I didn’t love him at all.But then again, Ben never treated me the way Saint did. Ben didn’t go out of his way to make me comfortable. He didn’t make time out of his busy schedule to cook for me. He didn’t consider me before making a decision. He didn’t decline business because of me. He didn’t take me on a trip as an apology.Things were different with Saint and I knew it. I just hoped it wouldn’t end badly.“Apart from trying to constantly trick me into bed,” Saint started one afternoon when I was in his home office with him while he work

    Adriana Jensen~•~The two men stopped what they were doing to look up, getting surprised when they saw that it was me.“Adriana.” Saint was the first to break the silence. “I didn’t know you were coming?” It came out more like a question.I smiled awkwardly. “Yeah, I’m just gonna go.” I took a step back. “I’ll let you guys talk. See you later.”I turned around, more than ready to bolt out of that place when my father’s voice stopped me. “Adriana.”I did one-eighty. “Yes?”“Come in.”I was reluctant to go in and it amused Saint. I knew that at some point, both of them were going to have to be in the same room, but I didn’t expect that it would be today. Besides, why the hell were they meeting without me? What did they have to talk about? Who initiated the visit?“Are you going to keep the door open?” Saint added.I glared at him, but took a step inside and closed the door behind me. “Hi, dad.”He gave me a once over, assessing my get-up. “Are you coming back from school?” I nodded. “A

    Adriana Jensen~•~Sofia and Charlotte came to a halt and they both stared at me before they turned to look at the woman who was starting to get on my nerves.“Who is she?” Charlotte leaned in to whisper.I sighed. This woman was determined to get into every part of my life, wasn’t she? “You guys can go ahead. Give me a second.”Charlotte looked like she wanted to ask more questions, but Sofia dragged her away and gave me my space. I walked closer to Lisa. “What do you want this time?”“Can we talk?”“I doubt we have anything to talk about,” I informed her with a fake smile. “And if I spend more time with you now, I’ll be late for my class.”I turned to leave, but she held my wrist. “I’m sorry.” She breathed out. “I know very well that I’m at fault for leaving you and I was a bitch for approaching you like that the first time. I just thought you wouldn’t want to listen to my endless apologies.”“You’re right.” I snatched my hand away and turned around, feeling something other than ang
