All Chapters of AGAINST THE FATES: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

She had expected Adi to take her to a casual cafe but instead, they walked into a club. Placed on the edge of the bustling city, the club was called Drai's and was known for its high-end crowd and party scene. "Adi, are they even going to let us in? You do realize that I am not exactly dressed for clubbing..." Adi shook his head and spoke," It doesn't matter. We are going to a private room here. They won't stop us." While Faith looked at him with confusion, Adi placed a hand on her lower waist and guided her into the club. The casual touch sent a burning sensation down her spine, and Faith reminded herself that she needed to get laid. It had been too long if she was getting excited with a simple hand on the waist. Once inside, they were led to a room on one of the upper floors but soon Faith was distracted by something even more. The club was known to her as being somewhat racy but the rooms up here were something else... In a word, they would be voyeur heaven. And though by no mean

As the two breathed raggedly trying to catch their breath, Faith felt a jolt through her. She has just committed the biggest foolishness of her life. She had promised herself just last week that she would ignore everything that she was feeling for him. They were strangers now... Her hands which had been clinging onto his shoulders pushed at him once. Adi stepped back immediately. As her eyes met his eyes, she felt singed. Never had he ever looked at her with that fire in her eyes. There had been yearning, a quiet love, an understanding but never this passion that she saw just now. "Adi..." His name came out in a whisper and Faith cursed herself. But Adi did not let her speak anymore," Fifi...It's time... don't you think?" But Faith could only shake her head from side to side, her eyes moistening. She had dreamed of this moment since she was a teenager. She had dreamed of him holding her, kissing her... being her first until she had decided to fall for another man. She had let him

The people in the large office of Grenier- Heming Inc almost shivered as the guard informed them that Adi Grenier had arrived. While Adi had always been a cold man, they fear and chill that everyone felt had been very recent. First the man's divorce had been made public. No one in the office had even known that the man was seperated from his wife for over half a year.While everyone would have expected him to be angry or heartbroken after the divorce, like their other boss had been,Adi Grenier had seemed untouched and unaffected like other humans. But the new year seemed to have brought in a chill. Almost five days into the new year and they had almost lost so many of their colleagues. Adi Grenier semeed to be searching for slackers with a magnifying glass and swatting them out like they were flies. To save themselves, everyone had formed chat groups to let them know their boss' location once inside the office building lest they get caught.Adi Grenier walked into the building with de

Faith glanced down at her watch with a sigh as she drove towards her house. Ross had to leave early thanks to his manager calling him and now she would have to go back to a quiet house. Sigh. There was also the silly hope that Adi would be coming to see her today. Why was she thinking back to the past, she had no idea. It was just two Fridays. But the next moment, her heart thudded. Because right outside her home stood Adi, leaning against his car. Ordering her thundering heart to stay calm, she carefully parked the car and alighted. And when he walked to her, she questioned archly," What brings you here today?" "You." came the pat reply, making her pause in her step. "DO NOT BE AFFECTED, FAITH." She screamed in her mind. "Well then, you wasted your time. Also, next time you want to see me, just call me and we can fix a time and place. Don't just show up at my door. It's too stalker-ish. And I am sorry but I have somewhere to go so I won't be able to invite you in tonight." "Will

Faith rubbed her eyes as she woke up to the sound of the doorbell continuously ringing. Though she and Rose had not been able to discuss her problems about Adi last night, they'd spent the night gossiping and drinking. And so, getting up from the bed seemed like a herculean task with her head hurting as if it had been hit by a thousand-pound hammer. "Hold your horses. I'm coming!" Faith called out as the person at the door refused to stop.m ringing the bell. The nauseous feeling she had been holding in until that moment, seemed to burst out as she watched the man standing at the door. And so, she did something that would have scared her most ardent suitor. She emptied the contents of her stomach all over his shoes. Adi glanced down at his shoes which were now filled with slime and then at the receding back of the person responsible for this.Gingerly taking off his shoes, Adi jumped over the mess and stared around. There wasn’t a place that was empty for him to place the breakfast i
