A date?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hi, Lynn! How are you?" I greeted the petite old lady who opened the door. She worked as a caretaker at Marie's house.
Yesterday, I decided to talk to Jenna face to face, taking my time. So that if she was hiding something or was in any kind of trouble, she could tell me. Because the way she got tensed after getting that message from that anonymous person, it has me worried. She was clearly scared. And not to forget she trespassed into Dad's office for some unknown reason.
So I left home early to meet her before going to the office.
"I'm fine, dear. Come in! Let me call Ms. McCommer." She threw me a kind smile, ushering me in.
"Who is it, Lynn?" Marie appeared in the hall, while tying her robe. Then her gaze fell on me. "Sofia? You're here at this time? Is everything alright?"
"Hey!" I gave her a tight hug. Her familiar sweet scent engulfed me. "Why? Can't I come and see m

He wanted to go on a date with me? I stared at him with wide eyes. "Be ready tomorrow morning, ten sharp." "I didn't agree yet!" A smirk tugged up at the corner of his mouth. "You don't have a choice, Love. Remember, you're here for your friend?" This time I scowled in the open. "This is blackmailing!" Letting out a chuckle, he wrapped his arms around my waist. "You know, you look adorable when you're mad?" He pecked my nose, sending butterflies to my tummy. And like that, I melted into a puddle in his warmth. I should have been mad at him for forcing me into a date, but I wasn't. I should have pushed him away, but instead, I leaned into his arms. He did this to me. No matter how much I wanted to resist, one single touch of him became my undoing. &

But before the rein was completely lost from my fists, a hand snaked around my waist and pulled me up. Gasping when I opened my eyes, I found myself in a pair of strong arms with my back against his chest. His hand was tightly wrapped around my waist from behind as he pulled at Silas' rein, halting him.I let out a sigh of relief. My heart still thumped down my ribcage."Are you alright?"I turned my head to look at him. His breathing was just as heavy as mine, blue eyes were alert.I nodded, unable to say something. God, it was scary!"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forced you to ride," he apologized, concern laced in his voice.I shook my head. "It's not your fault. I'm sorry. I didn't listen to you. I just got a little carried away." A blush spread hot on my cheeks from embarrassment.He nodded in understanding. Bu

Adrian's POVJust as I drove the car into the water, I unfastened my seatbelt and wrangled out of the car, even though it became difficult because of the airbag that protruded out when the car hit the water harshly.Once out, I swam towards the other side of the car to Sofia as she was still struggling to make her way outside. The car was going down in the deep, fast.We needed to be quick.Grabbing her hand, I pushed at the airbag for her to move her body before tugging her out. With the little street light that illuminated the dark water, I found her panicked wide green eyes as she wrapped her arms around my neck; her chestnut hair moving along with her.I ducked low as bullets started to shed through the water.Fuck!Clutching her closer against my chest, I guided us deeper down the water to avoid the coming bullets as much

The next morning, the moment we were finished with our breakfast, Sam appeared at the door, ready to take Sofia back. Which I didn't appreciate at all. I wanted her to stay with me for the day, or not to leave at all. But she insisted on going back home because she didn't want her family to be worried for her.But what actually surprised me was the man who followed not a minute later in my penthouse. The man I followed that night from the hospital. And I very well knew who he was.Sofia's other brother. The similarities of their features said everything.A gasp slipped through Sofia's lips, shocked at her brother's sudden apprearance. "Max?"Approaching her, he gave her a side hug. "You alright?" His deep brown orbs held concern, but an edge stayed in his voice."Yeah, I'm fine." Casting me a look, she cleared her throat. "Uh, Adrian. This is my…" She trailed o
The Game Of Chase Taming the beast
I flinched as he hurled a chair against the floor to ceiling glass window. His laptop was split into two parts right beside where now the chair landed after a harsh collision against the window. Pieces of his phone, lamp and files were scattered across the marble floor. He was on a rampage, destroying everything that came into his sight. With worry laced in my mind along with a slight fear, I peeked through the door of his cabin that was left ajar as he destroyed his office. His face was red in rage, shoulders rigid, hands shaking to destroy. The veins of his neck stood out as he threw his desk across the cabin, breaking the glass that covered its surface in millions of pieces. A gasp slipped through my lips. Why was he behaving like this? What happened all of a sudden that made him react in such a vicious way? Liam and John stood at the fur
The Game Of Chase Sinister Petrosyan?
A whole week passed and Adrian's mood was still the same. No, he didn't go on a rampage again, but he went in a shut down mode.He would come to the office earlier than usual, and go home at midnight, sometimes wouldn't even leave the office at all. He barked at everyone who crossed his way, some even lost their jobs without any fault. He didn't even talk to me in the same way he used to.Now that Sasha wasn't here, automatically her share of work came on my shoulders. So I stayed busy most of the time. But still, I missed him.Though he made me sit with him during lunch to eat with him, it wasn't enough. He just ate with me, without saying a word. And if I asked anything, he would stay quiet or answer me with one or two words.It was getting on my nerves now. I knew he was stressed about something but that didn't mean he would just ignore me, or behave like a prick with others.

Emma's arms were wrapped around him in a firm grip, there wasn't even a slight space between them. Though Adrian didn't return the hug, standing there with indifference, that didn't stop the churn in my stomach and the tightness in my chest.Noticing me at the doorstep, she jerked away from him. Crimson colored her cheeks, her eyes went wide. But not even a muscle of Adrian's features moved, as stoic as ever. Though those electric blue pools pierced me with an anonymous emotion lurking around them."H-hey!" Emma's meek voice snatched my attention. Shifting on her legs, she cleared her throat. "Uh, I will take my leave now. See you later."Wiping her cheeks, while passing me, she stopped for a moment.She was crying?"It isn't what you're thinking it is. It was just an innocent hug. I- I just needed some comfort. Please don't misunderstand me," she explained.

Later in the day, I went to meet Emma in her cubicle.I wanted to apologize for my cold behavior earlier. And being a sweetheart she was, she shrugged it off."You don't need to apologise, Sofia. I can understand. I would've reacted the same way if I found another girl in my man's arms out of the blue," she said, smiling in understanding.I didn't comment on the fact that she addressed him as my man.Because he was.Squeezing her hand, I lowered down my voice to a whisper to avoid giving any new topic of discussion to some interested ears around us. "Thank you. And why didn't you tell me about your ex? I found out about it later from Adrian."The topic dimmed the light in her eyes, getting a sigh out of her. "I just got to know myself this morning when the police called to inform me about his escape. I didn't know what to do or whom to want help f

As soon as Martha walked out after showing me our room, I was pulled flush against a hard chest. With one of his fists clutching my hair, my face was inches away from his furious one. Even when he was livid, the arm that wrapped around my waist, gripping me tight, was protective. His hold on my hair was gentle."What the hell do you think you're doing?" he hissed. Electric blue eyes were dark and flaming."What am I doing?" I blinked, licking my lower lip. "I just needed rest."His gaze followed the action. With a groan reverberating throughout his chest, he cupped my chin. Giving my lower lip a firm brush, he thrust his thumb in my mouth.My heart raced down my ribcage as I sucked on his finger, with my hooded eyes set on his. The desire came back to life in my veins.Letting out a grunt, he pressed his mouth against mine. A breathless moan escaped me as I pressed my

"Sofia!" Strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me back from Anastasia. "What's wrong, baby?" Turning to her, he growled out. "What did you do to her?"Flinching back, she clutched Dominic's hand. A fear along with concern laced across her face."I… I didn't do anything.""Adrian." Putting her behind him, Dominic warned him.Just as Adrian was about to snap back, I held on his shoulder."She didn't do anything. It's the baby. It kicked." Rubbing my tummy, I took a deep breath.It often kicked, but today it seemed like my junior Adrian was overly energized today.A sigh of relief left him. Kissing my temple, he cupped my cheek. "You alright? It doesn't hurt, right?"Nodding, I turned to Anastasia. "It seems like this little one already likes you. Otherwise it doesn't kick that hard. And I'm sorry abo

As soon as the car came to a halt, the driver was fast to get out and run to the door of Adrian's side.He pulled the door open. But his employer didn't make any effort to step out. He kept typing his phone at a furious pace, a permanent frown was set on his wide forehead.A sigh left me.Nodding at the awkward driver, signaling him to leave, I turned to my achingly beautiful and infuriating husband."We are here," I said.No answer.Not even a glance."The pilot is waiting for us."Ignored.I rolled my eyes.He has been in this foul mood since Sinister called and invited us to a very important family event in Russia.

My lips parted at the sight of him.The charcoal black tux he donned with a white shirt underneath hugged his broad and powerful upper body perfectly. Black pants, shiny black shoes and a blush pink pocket square, matching my gown, completed his look. With his dark strands combed back neatly, his jaw was clean shaved. My hands itched to touch them.Gosh!A breathless sigh left my lips. My eyes couldn't move away from the Greek god before me.He looked… sinfully gorgeous.My poor heart had difficulties to beat normally in his presence.And with that particular intoxicating cologne of his wafting to my nostrils, it just made the butterflies in my tummy crazy.I was so busy drooling at my man that I almost didn't notice how his eyes trailed down my body. Slowly and sensuously.A shiver ran
The Game Of Chase Anticipation
The dry leaves and wee trunks crumbled under my feet as my hesitant legs trudged through the eerie tacit cemetery. Only the chirping of the birds, hidden behind the heavy branches of the mighty trees that surrounded the cemetery, could be heard around the silent graveyard.Placing down the fresh Lilies before the newly wrought tombstone, my eyes roamed over the epitaph engraved on the stone.'Tim Jonathan Reeves1968-2020A doting father and a courageous man we will always remember with pride in our hearts.'"You shouldn't be here, you know? It's your wedding today," a whisper came from beside me.Blinking away the moisture in my eyes, I turned to her. Her gaze set on the gravestone before us."I came to seek blessings from the person who has treated me as his own daughter all his life." And to say thanks too. After all, because of him I

"Miss, you should get some rest now. You're sitting here for hours. And your injuries should also be taken care of. Otherwise you can get an infection," said the young nurse as she gave Adrian another visit to check on him.It was the fourth time she asked me to get myself treated. But nobody, even my family, couldn't move me from here. From beside the man who reigned over my heart.The man who hasn't opened those electric blue eyes yet. And since I got my consciousness back, without wasting any second, I rushed to his side. They moved him to another room after his operation.My heart clenched as my gaze roamed over his paler than usual features, ruffled hair and limp body. Just his broad chest rose and fell along with his breathing. That was the only thing that told me he was still with me.With my throat tightening, my eyes burned with tears, I gulped. "I'm not going anywhere. I'm

A scream tore out of my mouth while the love of my life was on the ground, clutching his chest. Even when his features were tensed, his determined hard eyes never left mine. Pushing at Monet's shoulder with as much force as I could gather, I somehow managed to break free from his grip and got off the chopper. But his fingers were soon to wrap around my wrist. A fury flashed through Adrian's blue eyes. Getting a hold on his gun, he tried to get up on his feet again. The veins of his neck stood out as he did so. Glancing back to Adrian, Monet raised his gun for the second time. Ready to shoot again. My heart lurched in my chest, eyes widened in horror. "No! Don't!" But my desperate shout went ignored as his finger curled around the trigger. "No!" As he was about to pull the trigger, a hand wr

He wouldn't go down without a fight.Hurrying towards me, she started to untie my hands and legs. A wince left my lips as I moved my hands after hours. Not to forget the cuts were still fresh.
