Adrian's P O VBright and early the next day I set back for home.Although Travis insisted I have breakfast with him, I had to decline. It was high time I faced head on what kept me up through out the entire night.Driving through the strangely less busy road got me parked out at my destination sooner than expected and although I was seriously starting to get second thoughts about the whole of this, I decided on the spot it was now or never.Without wasting any more time, I got out of my car and slammed the door shut while trying to block out memories of the last time I was present here last night trying to get as far away from here as possible.The elevator ride up was especially long and suffocating and honestly, I didn't want it to end just yet seeing as my moment of truth really waited for right when I get out the elevator doors.The hallway that led to my main entrance was as quiet as it's always been but this quietness felt different.It was accompanied by the loud drummings in

Jordan's P O VThe rest of the afternoon and my entire day had me locked up in my room after the somewhat chaotic exchange with Ralph which didn't end well as planned and also my refusal to speak with my Mother who by all means wanted to milk out information from me.I also didn't hear Ralph leave his room right from the time he slammed the door shut the previous day up until this very morning I got out of bed and settled to get ready for work. I did that with all gladness of heart because I seriously just wanted to be out of this house even if for only a little moment. The atmosphere in here was thick and not one I'd like to be in any longer than I already have.I got dressed in a simple dress a dull shade of brown and had a matching length beige coat Fred got me some days back thrown over. With my small purse I snatched up from inside my closet and a pair of matching four inched shoes, I set off out of my room to an empty hallway. Usually, I would walk out to meet Ralph present in

Jordan's P O V.Since Adrian left for his meeting, I basically had nothing doing and although I tried working alone, I couldn't. Not only because I was bored but because my mind was all over the place. I couldn't focus on anything at all asides the replaying scenes in my head that got a thin line of sweat trailing down the middle of my back.I could still feel his large hand wrapped around my neck that made it difficult to swallow hard. My chest that was pressed hard against his as his fingers dug into my bottom cheeks when he held me up still drummed hard at the pleasurable feeling it caused me.It perhaps a good thing he's locked up away in some meeting that has nothing to do with me because I'm certain I could melt to a puddle if he gets an inch close to me again.Hours flew by and I realized it wasn't just the butterflies in my belly that caused the all too frequent rumbling but I was actually starving!I only had soup last night and this morning, I was too eager to slip out of t

Jordan's P O VI didn't get to wonder why Adrian and Travis would bring themselves to a Toy Store because I got lost in what I was doing.I feel robbed. Why didn't all of those cool toys exist when I was a child?It's the morning of the Anniversary and I woke up to the sound of Music coming from downstairs and when I found my way down, my entire family was present in the kitchen that now looked like a Bakery.The entire counter and top of the table was covered in freshly baked doughnuts in uniform sizes and an even larger number of small cupcakes.The strong smell of tomato and curry up in the air made it known to me that something was definitely cooking but I didn't get a chance to peek into the pot to see for myself because the doorbell rang.Mom was still taking out cakes from the oven and Ralph was busy applying glaze to the doughnuts with a brush he wielded like a pro and Fred was certainly having fun applying sprinkles on top of them all leaving me as the only jobless one in a s

Adrian's P O VI know I wrote Ralph off as nothing more than a Step Brother but It seems there's more to it than I was willing to accept nor tolerate.That day at the toy store we stopped by to pick stuffs for Ava and I ran Into the douchebag and Jordan, it wasn't hard to miss the signal he gave off.I also couldn't bare to see him hold her hand like that and since I couldn't just rip it off like my eyes did, I only had to swallow the annoyance I felt till he snatched her out from my presence.I don't know what game he's playing at but That girl is Mine now and it will stay that way.I will make sure of it.I remembered how her eyes lit up when she spoke of the function at the orphanage and I really want to be a big part of whatever makes her that happy.I couldn't go Toy shopping with her like the douchebag but I got an even better idea. I realized I was too busy getting mad over Ralph's hold on her hand to pay much attention to the orphanage she spoke of but it's a good thing Travi
