Madeline's POV
"Here are the peels of lime you requested ma'am," The bartender said, dropping a tray of lime peels on my table. "Though I am not quite certain what anyone would need the peels for."
I gave him a smile and shoved a wad of cash in his hands. "That's for me to worry about and for you to get lost, hmm?"
He tipped his head and walked away briskly. I picked a few peels and chuckled. It was time to pull on my acting face.
I tapped on the message my stalker had sent me. He had sent a message following the picture and they include the address of an Hotel. Stone Hotel. Of course.
He was housing the bitch in his hotel. I'll bet the rest of the money I had that he was probably fucking the brains out of her right now, the world shaking on its damned axis.
Well all that was about to change. I forwarded the message t
Adam's POV"Mother?!"My mother's eyes were fixed in a glare and with a slow hiss, she pushed past me into the room.What the hell was my mother doing here? How Had she known I was here?! And how did she know what room? Fuck, Eve! Eve was still in the bedroom. If she hadn't finished adjusting her dress then I was fucked.I rushed after my mother, standing before her, a frown on my face."What are you doing here, Mother?"One minute I had Eve in my hands, bare open and wet enough to send me to the highest heavens. I could still taste her on my tongue. I could still feel her soft plum breasts and that creamy skin against my lips.If my mother had been a tad too late, I'd probably have been balls deep inside her, twitching and spilling until I had her full and marked as mine.
Eve's POV"Goodbye Eve,"My eyes remained tightly closed until I heard the sound of the door closing behind him.He was gone. His words replayed in my head and I willed my eyes to open.There was no Adam. There was no one. It was just me, the sound of my heart racing as if it ran a marathon and a loud pounding in my head.Tears burned the corner of my eyes, a lone tear rolled down my cheek, to the ground and as of unleashing a curse, others followed."He left," I choked out, feeling a certain kind of pain twist in my chest, making it rather hard to breathe. I knew Adam was gone for good, this time.I dropped to my knees, my mouth parting in a wide strangled sob as the tears fell unrestrained. I had never felt so humiliated in my entire life. I could still hear it, his mother's words. They rang in my head
ADAM’S POVMy knuckles gripped the steering wheel tightly until they whitened from the pressure. I watched my mother’s car drive up ahead, gritting my teeth in anger.The scene at the hotel had replayed in my head a gazillion times. I could see it all again, all the anger written all over my mother’s face. I could see the pain in Eve’s eyes when she had slapped her. A growl slipped from my lips at the memory and I slammed my hand on the steering wheel in anger.I had just stood there and watched it happen! I should have done something. I should have foresaw that and protected Eve. Fuck! She had looked so abandoned, so deserted. I hated that. I wanted to be there for her. I wanted to be the one person she could rely on. I wanted to take care of her dammit!Turn around, my mind urged. Just fucking turn around and go back to her. She was probably still on the floor in the liv
Tom's POV"This coffee tastes like shit!" I yelled at the damned good for nothing maid, annoyed with everything.She yelled, bowed her head and mumbled several apologies that made me even angrier!I had a bad night. Again! How on earth was I supposed to sleep when my wife roamed around who knows where?That bitch! The minute I get my hands on her, I'll show her what happens when she crosses me.She had grown balls hadn't she? She had the nerve to leave the house. To leave me! Oh she would pay for it when I found her eventually.When I had thrown her out, I hadn't expected that she would actually leave! It was Eve! Puny, little, terrified Eve. She feared being alone more than anything in the damned world and that had made it easy to manipulate her this far.I had expected tears.I would throw her ou
Tom's POVShe looked like a kicked puppy. Standing out there in a rather drab dress. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and her eyes were red.She had been crying.For what? I thought in fury. Over her old man's death? That man hadn't cared not one bit about her and she had the audacity to defy me because of him! Such insolence.I had been with her for ten years. I had bore through her shenanigans and tantrums and made sure to give her the discipline she needed so she could learn her face. Yet it was obvious she would still choose that man over me anytime, any day.Anger burned through my veins, reminding me of the many reasons why I needed to teach her a lesson. I couldn't have her running off on me every time. What kind of a husband didn't train his wife to be a good little prim and proper bitch? A terrible one, that's who.&nbs
Adam's POV"Perfect, thank you Gentlemen," I told the board and rose to my feet. They rose as well bowing their heads as I walked out of the meeting with Lillian in tow. "That went well, yeah?""A hundred and ten percent," She chuckled. "You might want to check your phone though Boss, it rang like a gazillions of times. "We stepped onto the elevator and I allowed myself to relax when the doors closed before us.I had moved from one meeting to another. And considering it was a few minutes past five in the evening, I desperately hoped that was the last meeting for the day. Just another day in my life.Meetings, more meetings and a lot of phone calls from my mother badgering the shit out of me. It had been just a day since she had banned me from seeing Eve- not like I was going to see her anyway.Okay perhaps th
Madeline's POVThe plan was working.Oh I had never been so happy in my life. Adam's mother had called me the night before, asking when I was free. Her beloved son had finally agreed to a date with me.Oh I couldn't have been happier if I tried! I had known the one person who could force Adam Stone's hand was his mother. I just hadn't expected a date would come out of it.I had chosen tonight of course. I didn't want to give the jackass time to rethink his decision and cancel on me. That would defeat the whole purpose of every trap I had carefully laid out."Now, what did you order for us?" I asked him, trying to make small talk at least. I hated how silent and brooding he looked, reading through the menu as if it were way more interesting than I was.The people were watching! They would gossip and t
Eve's POVMy body creaked as I turned on my bed, stretching my limbs. Sleep slowly drifted away. And when I opened my eyes, I stared at the ceiling for a long time, trying to figure out where I was.Flashes of the things that had happened the day before ran through my head.I wasn't at the hotel.I was back in Tom's home. Back to the place that drained my spirit and made me feel as terrified as hell. It wasn't a happy feeling.I had tried. I had tried to think of another solution. Another place to go. Something else to do. But I couldn't.I was lost without anyone. The only person I could think of that I could stay with until I could figure out what the hell I had to do, was Tom. And that was sad as hell.Tears slipped down the corner of my eyes and I wiped them off quickly and r
