All Chapters of The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Relief wakes with me the next morning as I remember dealing with Adam’s suspected feelings. Although I was a little harsh with my words, it was better than ignoring unrequited feelings and letting them blossom into something more fearsome. He looked somber after our conversation so I made sure to ask him if he still wanted to accompany me to pick Ajax up. He looked at me with incredulity ‘don’t be ridiculous, why won’t I be comfortable, we are still friends right’. His words were contradictory to how he looked considering the fact that he looked continuously somber throughout us picking Ajax up and going home. He was even oblivious to Ajax’s attempts at matchmaking. My little darling, he was unrelentless in his mission at freeing me from loneliness as he had so adamantly stated the night before as I was tucking him into bed. Back to the subject of Adam, despite that he seemed none to happy with my declaration; at least I had made it clear that nothing was happening betwe

My mind reeled back and forth as I take the elevator down, ‘How could Adam do this,’ I didn’t understand where his rage came from, ‘This rage that consumes everything in it’s path and blinds his eyes to friendship, to those that are for him and actually care about him' My thought goes back to his words about the necklace, ‘I mean, what was the point in defending me in front of others when he didn’t actually believe me. I think back to how quickly he jumped in to defend me when the accusation came forth and I had still being speechless in shock. My reeling thoughts were actually a way to distract me from his last words that hit too close to home. I had been acutely aware of the absence of positive feelings of Simon for me, yet I held on to my feelings for him all throughout our marriage, I help on hoping that there would suddenly be a change, a turning point where he would suddenly begin to like me. The fact that Adam mentioned that was uncomfortable to say the least. ‘But tha

Tina's POV ‘Ding', my doorbell rings and I turn stretching lazily in bed. It’s early, I think hoping the person would get tired and leave. ‘Ding, ping, ding' it rings insistently and blink my eyes open, sighing in frustration. ‘It's Saturday for Christ sake, can’t I sleep in peace' I roll over and sit up. Ajax stirs beside me and I try my best to get up as silently as possible Throwing a robe over my night gown, I trudge begrudgingly to the door. ‘Who's there, what do you want', I wipe sleep from my eyes and yawn again. He person at the door clears his throat, sounding hoarse, ‘it’s Adam'. I open the door quickly, surprise tainting my features. ‘Adam, what are you doing here, it's so early'. I tighten the robe around and come out into the hallway, closing the door behind me. My back resting on the closed door, I fold my arms and look at him through hooded eyes, I guess I was still bristling from his insult. ‘I'm sorry Tina, I was so stupid’ he stares at me pleadingly a s

The new week met me excited about trying my newly acquired talents on Simon, I walked into my floor with a radiant smile on my face, quite early to be exact. It was the first time I got up before Ajax during the week. Normally, either Ajax or my alarm clock was responsible for waking me up and the way they did was astonishingly similar. With a loud shriek. This time I woke Ajax the same way, about 30 minutes earlier and he was none to happy about that. I itched to battle, granite face for granite face with Simon, ‘Oh, the look on his face, I can't wait to see it’, I giggled out loud and look around the hall to make sure no one was looking at me strangely. Thankfully they were not, everyone was currently preoccupied with settling in for the morning, plus the hall was scantier than usual. The fact that the hall was bare of Miss Debra was another source of excitement. The absence of the condescending looks she always gave me when I rushed in one or two minutes late was a welcome

‘Coast is clear', I glanced around squinting, my face glued to the clear glass window of the white and black taxi. The glass fogged up from my breath, Adam's raucous laughter distracting me from face identifying everyone on the street. ‘You know you’re beginning to look crazy right’, he wheezes in between bouts of laughter. I look between Adam’s laughing face and the drivers irritable one. Through the rearview mirror, I saw the taxi driver’s brow furry in a frown and his nostrils constrict and dilate with impatience. He opens his mouth to speak, tired of me wasting time. ‘Okay we can leave now', I pull open the door and hurry out Adam on my heels. Adam continues laughing to the annoyance of startled school children walking by. ‘Stop it, you’re being embarrassing’, I hit him to stop his annoying laughter. He only increases it, doubling over and clutching his stomach. ‘Fine! I’m leaving’, I purse my lips in annoyance and turn to go. ‘Wait, wait, okay I’ll stop', he hurries afte
