Whatever You Want
Crystal Russell I sighed as I saw Hannah's name on the screen of my phone and answered it. "Hey." "Ijusttestedpositiveformypregnancy." She blabbered and I frowned. "Huh?" "Ijusttestedpositiveformypregnancy." "Sorry, come again?" "Bitch, I just tested positive for my pregnancy." She said loud and clear this time. "WHAT!?" I shrieked in happiness and heard Adrien wince. "Girl, have you gone deaf or what? I said I ju-" "I heard what you said, Dumbelina. You're about to be a mother! And I'll be the godmother of the baby.""Yess! I haven't told it to Ethan yet. I want to surprise him." "That's great. Best of luck. Tell me how he reacts." The wide grin on my face refused to fade away even after we hung up on the call. I looked beside me on the bed and saw Adrien already laid under the blanket, looking at me with a small smile. "Congratulations, godmother." I giggled when he said that. "Thank you." 0----------0"Good Bye, Aunt. And please come here often. It was so much fun to

Tease Me Not
Adrien RussellThere were two main reasons I decided to accompany Crystal to the dinner. One- it was obvious that she wanted me to come and I didn't want to disappoint her and two- I wouldn't let them be together for Evan to hit on her in my absence. Otherwise Evan Sanders wasn't a person I would look forward to seeing. I know I should get over it because Crystal is about to start working with him, but whenever I can limit their interactions with my presence, I will do it. Call me a possessive husband. When we reached their house, we were warmly welcomed by Ethan and Hannah. We congratulated them and gave them flowers that we picked on our way. We all sat together and talked for a while with the couple and Hannah's little sister, Megan. It was all going well until Evan joined us. As soon as he came inside, the smile on Crystal's face was so bright that I almost rolled my eyes at it. My annoyance had reached another level when he hugged her and literally picked her off her feet. Be

A Bright Beginning
Crystal Russell I took a deep breath to calm my nerves as I stood in front of the mirror, ready in my semi-formal blue outfit. It was a sky blue pair of crop top and shorts with a same colored blazer. Yes, it's my first day at work. I walked out of the closet to find Adrien dressed in his white shirt and navy blue pants, with a tie in hand and eyes darted at his phone. He probably heard my footsteps so he spoke to me. "Crys, please help me with the tie." When he looked up at me, his face flashed with surprise. "Wow. You.. look perfect for a new start." I smiled coyly at his compliment. Adrien had been very supportive when it came to my work. He kept his dislike towards Evan aside and was genuinely happy to see me so excited to work. The best thing was that he knew and understood that my excitement was because of my work and not because of Evan. I must say, I really love it when he acts possessively. But what's even better is, even though it doesn't matter in our relationship

Birthday Bash
Adrien Russell Dressed in the clothes chosen by my wife, I had been pacing around the living room, talking about a few deals with my assistant, Ryan on the phone. Crystal was still getting ready and I patiently waited as it isn't everyday when she is all dolled up. "Alright, schedule the meeting with Davis' at 2pm tomorrow and what about the deal with the Oberoi Corporation?" I asked on the phone. "Sir, they are supposed to land here from India by the day after tomorrow." Ryan replied. "Okay. Once they are-" My words were stuck in my throat when my eyes fell on Crystal who just walked out of our room. She wore a peach coloured dress that reached her ankles. It was a net draped over a linen cloth that ended on her mid-thigh. I raked my eyes from her head to toe. Hair beautifully styled, nude makeup and minimal accessories. No exaggeration, she looked angelic. I realized that I had been ogling at her for long enough, when I heard Ryan practically screaming into my ear through the ph

The Rhythm of the Heart
Adrien Russell Crystal looked at me with confusion while I try to restart the car but it's of no use. Frustrated, I took off my jacket and rolled my sleeves up to my elbows while Crystal's eyes lingered on me. I immediately called Martin and asked him to pick us up in my other car. Since I had chosen a longer route, it would take him a minimum of 25 minutes to reach us. "Let's get wet in the rain." Crystal said beside me. Her eyes immediately shone with excitement and all the sadness from before had vanished. I hid my amusement and gave her a blank look. "Not happening. I hate rain." "Come on, Adrien, don't be a spoiled sport." Her eyebrows cutely drew together. "It's gonna be fun." She unfastened both of our seatbelts. Despite all her efforts, I didn't budge. "Ugh. Why do you have to be so stubborn? It's no fun playing alone. Please Come." She whined like a kid and I let out a laugh. "What are you? A five year old?" I asked. She glared at me and retorted. "What are you? A fifty

Shopping Buddies
Crystal Russell Calling Hannah was the first thing I did after finishing my work in Vida Grand. Hannah and I were supposed to go shopping for her baby shower but there was no sign of her even though it was 20 minutes past our decided time. When she finally answered, I heard her weak voice. "Hey Crystal." "Hey. All good?" I asked. "No. I've been feeling sick since morning. Vomiting and dizziness." She told me. "Oh. Then do we cancel our plans?" "Oh my god. I am sorry Crystal. It totally ran out of my mind." "It's okay. We can go some other

The Feels
Evan SandersHere, let me help you." I crouched down on one knee in front of Crystal who was struggling to slide her feet in the boots. With my help, she wore them and stood up to check the fit while I smiled at her, still on my knee. It was then, when a man with short salt and pepper hair walked by us. "You both look like a lovely couple." He said. "You remind me of my wife and I in our young age. Oh, I miss her so much." He smiled sadly and I looked at Crystal, expecting her to tell him that he was misunderstanding. But she didn't. She didn't tell the man that we weren't a couple. That she was married to someone else. Instead, she smiled back at him. That made me wonder about a lot of things. "Did she not want to admit that Adrien was her husband? Was their marriage still nothing but a contract to her? Was she not happy? Or did she just not mind if people thought of us as a couple? That thought caused a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. Deep down, that thought made me.

Can't Keep Myself from Falling
Crystal RussellWe were in the car on our way back home when I was contemplating my newly found feelings. I was in love with Adrien. And as happy I was about it, I couldn't stop my conscience that was telling me that it was wrong. This was not supposed to happen. Falling in love with Adrien was not part of the contract and yet, here I am, knowing it would leave me with nothing.It was the ringtone of Adrien's phone that got me out of my trance. His phone was connected to the car's stereo and he answered it. "Hello?" Adrien asked, his eyes focused on the road. "Adrien Russell." My heart beat sped up as I heard an unfortunate familiar voice through the speakers. Adrien looked equally surprised by the call but it was fury that immediately overpowered it. His hands tightened around the steering wheel and he slowed the speed of the car. "I will make you pay for this." Alan's disgusting voice boomed in the car. "You and everyone you love will suffer and I will make sure of it." Adrien

Several Broken Hearts
Crystal RussellLamps and lights at every corner of the large club. People moved around with their drinks and danced to the music carelessly, enjoying the night to the fullest while I was proudly smiling at my success in planning the event.I looked around the club to find Evan but he was nowhere in sight. When my phone vibrated in my hand, I looked up at it to see Adrien's name flashing on it. Moving to a corner, I answered the call."Hey! Please tell me you're coming." I yelled against the phone. I had invited him to the party and was expecting him."I am coming, but I don't think I can stay for long. Dad needs me to accompany him somewhere." He answered."It's okay. Just come soon. I'm waiting." I hung up on the call and went back near the drinks counter. The staff that I knew were all busy with their work and I didn't want to disturb them so I sat quietly waiting for Adrien or Evan.Few minutes later, two girls, approximately of my age, approached me with an awkward grin. "Hi. You
