Then, a plan suddenly popped up in Adele's head and it made her smile inwardly, what a perfect plan! She thought in her head.
Adele looked around the room for something but could not find what she wanted inside the room, without a word, she left the room to God knows where only to return in less than three minutes but what she came back with made Adaline tilt her head in question.Adele held a long thick rope in her hands and stared at Adaline for e few seconds and said.."Do you really think I would let you marry the person am supposed to get married to? You are nothing to this family and you don't deserve nothing, you hear me?"Adaline's head were filled with thousand question as to what Adele was going to do, she was getting too confused by each seconds and with each word Adele spilled from her mouth.Just few minutes ago, Adele was all nice and was even pleading with Adaline and now she was already back to her arrogant mode, it was funny to Adaline, she narrowed her eyes at Adele when she saw her coming close to her and before she knew what was happening, Adele pushed her heavily to the ground.The impact of the push made her hit her head on the tiled floor making a loud thud sound, she closed her eyes tight due to the pain, colour drained out of her face but before she could grasp what was happening, Adele straddled her, she held the rope with one hand and tried to hold Adaline's two hands with her other hand.Adaline finally understood what was happening, she pushed Adele hard that it made her fall backwards, Adaline took advantage of Adele's position and sat up quickly and pinned Adele down, Adele began to struggle but was not strong enough to fight her.Seeing how strong Adaline was at the moment came as a surprise to Adele, she never had thought that Adaline would be so strong even stronger than her but that never meant she would give up, right?.By now, Adele was on the ground with her front facing the ground while Adaline hovered above her while holding her to hands together and holding down her head to the ground with her brown hair scattered on the floor. Adele kept struggling but it was useless because Adaline was way too stronger than her."What is happening here?! Ada! Stop right now! Stop!!"Both girls flinched out of shock due to the sudden intrusion, Adaline snapped her head to the door and saw her mother standing with a shocked expression but she moved not an inch and kept Adele in place.Adele who heard the shout of their mother from the door, she felt relieved and decided to use her mother's appearance to her advantage, she started sobbing."Mom!, help me, Adaline would kill me, please, I did nothing wrong!"Adele cried as she called out to her mother to rescue her, Mrs Freda who stood by the door could not take it any longer and ran to the children, she grabbed Adaline by the shoulder and pulled her up from Adele's body to Adele's relieve."What is the meaning of this? Why would you do this to your elder sister?"Mrs Freda scolded Adaline while she rubbed Adele's back to make her calm down and stop her fake tears. Adaline stood and stared at Adele with too much anger that was sipping out of her being which Mrs Freda nor Adele did not fail to feel and it brought shivers down Adele's back as she could not look Adaline in the eyes.Mrs Freda felt the anger raw from Adaline and she was astonished that she looked at her intently to make sure she felt it right. For years now, she could not remember when last she felt her mute daughter's emotions and it brought inexplicable pains to her heart. Adaline was her daughter after all, the child she birthed along with Adele, how could she not be sad to see that her daughter was not like any normal person out there. She did everything she could to make her smile, sad or angry and even cry but no results came out of it, Adaline would be like a living stone or was it a living dead and even though Mr Thom never showed it, Mrs Freda knew that he did not like Adaline as much as he liked Adele.If Mr Thom had a choice, he would never bring Adaline out to the public to taint their name but after the embarrassed incident, he began taking her along with Adele against his own willingness.But she loved both daughters equally and never liked the situation of the other but there was nothing they could do as they had tried many ways to bring Adaline back to normal but it bore no fruit.Mom! I did nothing wrong, believe me!"Adele's tear filled voice brought Mrs Freda out of her thoughts, she sighed and patted Adele's back.."It's okay Adele, please excuse your sister and I"Although reluctant, she left the room not after giving Adaline one last look."My dear child, why would you hurt your sister like that?"Mrs Freda held Adaline's hands softly and pulled her towards the bed. Seeing both sisters fight like that was the last thing she wanted.Mrs Freda knew nothing about who Mr Drew is but if he turned out to be a bad husband for her daughter then she would not hesitate to pull her daughter out of the marriage, she knew of the rumour surrounding Mr Drew but she decided to give him a chance after all, they were all eumours and rumours would remain rumours."Yeah, she does care about me too much. So, tell me something about your company."Cecil said, by now the car had stopped and was packed in the garage of Phoebe's small villa, it was a villa painted with white colour on the outside, not exactly big but good enough for a person like herself. Phoebe being the kind of person she was, never liked a showy life, just wanted a simple life of doing her dance career, go out on a date with sexy ladies and make sure her sister doesn't lack anything.Justin was the first to get out of the car and he quickly went to open the door for Cecil like a perfect gentleman with a smile on his face. Cecil who noticed it said nothing because she thought he was just trying to be nice and not wanting to look rude towards her so she smiled back at him and led the way towards the front door of the villa.The living room had a boylike decor, infact it was stylishly manly as if owned by a man even though it was two ladies living in the house just that, one was far
Inside the CEO's office of Euston's Corporations, Drew sat behind his table, occupied with loads and loads of office work. This has been the normal daily activities of his life, he would just keep working and working without bothering about his own personal self.Being the CEO of a large world wide company wasn't an easy task to do, his unrelented hard work for a few years had gained him the title of the youngest billionaire of the century. Growing up as a child from a family who were legends in the business world, he had only been taught on how to run a business and survive among competitors in the field, to be very tactic in dealing with work.Though he came from a rich family where life would have always been easy but that wasn't the case for the only child and heir of the Euston's, he had been taught life the hard way, he grew up to understand how the world works and not to only spend money but to also make money and dominate the world and gain power to control the world in his ow
Mrs Freda along with Adaline left the house after about an hour of getting prepared, they left for the city's most expensive shopping mall that was arranged by Justin, Drew's assistant to get Adaline's clothes for the lunch date, the mall was classic and huge with luxurious items being sold.A shop attendant showed them around the mall and gave them different kinds of dresses to try on and if asked, Adaline would only nod or shook her head in reply. As they kept shopping, people's gazes did not leave the mother and daughter pair for a second, of course they knew who the infamous Adaline was, the pretty dumb girl. People continued to stared as they murmured gossips with scornful looks on their faces but neither does Mrs Freda nor Adaline cared, although they felt the hot gazes on them but they pretended like nothing was happening and continued shopping.It took them minutes before they finally found the dress they wanted, it was a black armless short gown with a black jacket of the sam
The car door was opened by the driver and Justin stood patiently waiting for the person to come out and when the person came out, Justin was awed, his mouth hung open as his jaw dropped, he was stupefied at what he saw, he blinked twice to make sure he saw right but he was right, his sight wasn't deceiving him at all.Adaline came out of the car and stood before Justin, giving him a slight bow. Justin squinted his eyes and looked at Adaline closely to be sure he was seeing the right person, maybe it was the other twin sister because they had the same look.But with the kind of aura Adaline was emitting, Justin knew it was definitely the right person but she looked so different from all the times he had seen her in the past, she looked more beautiful and alluring but her cold and blank eyes were the things that never changed not even a little bit, it looked similar to Drew's eyes, they had the same cold and aloof vibes around them that was capable of freezing a person. They fitted perf
The bright morning was shining into the expensive french styled living room, it was already nine in the morning but there was still no sign of Adaline yet. Since she left for the lunch date she hadn't returned nor called them on the phone and Adele was getting especially anxious, she could not help but wonder what Adaline was still doing that she slept out throughout the night and hasn't returned yet.Adele sat on the cream couch as she waited for Adaline to return already, she had sat almost for an hour or so but still no Adaline around. Adele has also waited last night for Adaline thinking that Adaline would return last night but when she saw that Adaline hadn't returned she began to feel very anxious and uncomfortable and she didn't know why."Mom, there's still no sign of Adaline, why haven't she returned home yet? Wasn't it just a lunch date? How come she slept overnight?"Adele bombered her mother with questions immediately she saw her entering the living room. Mrs Freda sat on
Inside the elegant and classic looking bedroom that oozed of a male vibe, the bright morning sun rays illuminated the room, giving it a warm and cozy outlook and the small petite figure on the king sized bed gave the room a wonderful appearance.The once dull and empty room was now warm and whole with the presence of someone lying peacefully on the bed as the sun lights rested on her petite figure. Her fair and delicate skin glistened under the rays of the morning sunlight. Minutes passed by before she finally stirred on the bed. She rolled her body from one side to the other, enjoying the warm and softness of the bed. She honestly didn't feel like rising up at all, she just wanted to lay there and enjoy the comfy of the bed.But her wish was short lived because a sudden knock on the door disrupted her plans, the knock sounded twice in a low and respectful manner, Adaline wanted to so much ignore the knock but she couldn't because she already knew it would be useless, if she didn't an
Drew eyed the grinning Justin and looked away. He could already tell Justin was being mischievous. But then, as much as it sounded mischievous, it still looked like a good idea and it was tempting. However, nothing good ever came out of Justin if it wasn't about business, especially now that he had that stupid grin on his face.Justin's smile fell when he noticed the skeptical glance Drew threw at him, but he wouldn't give up just yet. He sighed with his hands akimbo, he looked nothing less than a father who was trying to convince his naive yet doubtful son about what choice of dessert to take. Justin took one step forward and said."If you keep being slow, I'll just have to do it for you. And who knows, with my blinding charms, she might fall for me. We wouldn't want that, would we? Am quite confidence with my looks you know, it has gotten me this far."Justin self-praised as he gestured at himself with a teasing but proud smile. When he finally saw Drew rise from his seat, Justin's
"Excuse me sir, but there's a lady outside, she's waiting for you." Drew removed his hands from the doorknob and turned to Justin whose eyes met his as the same question flashed across each other's eyes. Drew tore his gaze from Justin when he saw Justin was just as clueless as he was. Drew looked at the secretary and asked. "I don't remember having an appointment with a lady. Who's she?" His deep voice resounded calmly in the office and reached the secretary who still had her head bowed a little low in respect. "Actually, Mr Chairman was the one who approved of her meeting you. He said you should already know." The secretary said in a voice that wasn't low and wasn't loud either. She was inwardly shaking. She knew the bad relationship between the Chairman and the CEO and she could already tell that the CEO would decline and would not want to meet the lady which she couldn't allow. She could still recall the threatening words the Chairman said to her if she allowed the CEO turn dow
