FORTY SIX
"What was Jensen like when you two were still dating?" Thea asked. She was reclining by the pool with Adelynn. "Jensen was very nice, understanding and loving at first. But as our relationship grew, he couldn't stay away from me. I thought it was because he loved me so much. He also started to make sure that I was nowhere around any guy, including my best friend who he actually killed"
Thea's gaze softened.
"I'm so sorry""I guess I was blinded by my so called 'love'. I didn't disapprove whatever Jensen said was right. He was controlling my life and I continued to ignore it. It was so easy for him to turn me against Dominic. He made me label my husband as the villain" Adelynn said and Thea sighed."Well, I'm glad that you were finally able to turn away from your toxic relationship with Jensen"
Adelynn smiled sadly."I treated Dominic wrongly, but he refused to be swayed. He refRelated chapters
For Love's Sake FORTY SEVEN
"I'm going to send you an address and you'll have to meet me there. But, you will have to come alone. Trust me, you won't like what would happen to your husband if you either failed to show up or failed to come alone""O-kay. Send me the address" Adelynn responded, fear sinking into her heart.The line went dead and Jensen grinned at Dominic."She will be here soon and I'm going to make her mine. You won't be able to do a damn thing about it" Jensen said and blew a whistle. Six men walked in and approached Dominic. While Jensen left the basement, they began to beat up Dominic, viciously..... "No, Adelynn. I can't let you do that. If you go to him, you will be walking right into a trap. Dominic trusted me to keep you safe and that's what I plan on doing" Giovanni said to a frustrated Adelynn. "I can't just sit back and do nothing! My husband is probably in pain right now and the more we wait, the more the s
For Love's Sake EPILOGUE
"It's amazing" Adelynn said, a smile on her face. Dominic embraced her from behind. "I know, right? I'm so glad it's all over" he said as he watched their son, Kyle, and Austin's daughter play with a bunch of building blocks. "You know, marrying you has proved to be one of the best choices I've ever made" Adelynn stated and her husband grinned. "How do you feel?" He asked. She turned to give him a kiss on the cheek. "I feel--- I feel happier than ever and it's all because I'm married to the love of my life" Adelynn told him. "I feel the same way too, Adelynn. I wouldn't trade you for anyone else, love" he whispered in her ear. Austin and his wife, Rielle, stood few metres away, watching the couple with big smiles on their faces. "They look so happy" Rielle breathed. "They deserve it" Austin grinned. ... DOMINIC Knowing Adelynn changed me. I was a lonely teen with a horrible chi
For Love's Sake ONE
Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only it's light, not it's shadows. -Paul Coelho Adelynn could barely recognize herself as she stared at her reflection in the mirror with her face completely bare. She felt miserable and her reflection confirmed it. She let out a sigh and brought her ring clad finger to her line of vision. I'm a married woman, yet, I don't feel like one, she thought, her eyes misting over. She didn't feel happy and she was worried that she was going to remain very miserable for the rest of her bland life. As a teen, she'd always dreamed of tying the knot with someone she loved, but here she was, enduring a loveless marriage that was as a result of her father's insurmountable debts to one of his business rivals. She was merely six months into the marriage and she was al
For Love's Sake TWO
Was it a mere coincidence? Or did fate just really enjoy messing with her? Adelynn couldn't tell. She stood amongst her colleague watching Ric Jefferson, Jensen's dad as he introduced his son to them. How could she not have noticed the resemblance between Ric and her exboyfriend? Maybe it was because all through the period she'd dated Jensen, she'd only seen one member of his family and that was his mother. "Just like I told you few days ago, I will be resigning and my capable son, Jensen, will become your new CEO. You all should cooperate with him to help everyone of us make progress" Ric said and Adelynn's colleagues gave him a round of applause. Most of the female employees could hardly be discreet about the fact that they were checking out the new CEO. Of course, this was not new to Jensen because he was quite used to getting attention from women. Adelynn on the oth
For Love's Sake THREE
The loud pitter-patter of the heavy downpour could be heard as Adelynn sat on her matrimonial bed, wearing a black night dress with her silky, red night robe over it. She stared at empty space, a glass of white wine in her light grip. Her face was completely devoid of make-up but she was still such a beauty. Without the makeup on, one could easily tell how much she was struggling, because her aura kept emitting melancholy. There was one person on her mind today and his name was Jensen. Adelynn tried to understand what it was that he saw in her, because someone like her didn't deserve someone as amazing, as perfect as he was. She knew that she was letting her insecurity get the best of her, but she just couldn't help it. A sad smile curved her lips when she recalled how she'd met him. Jensen had been just as amazing back then when they were still teens. Whereas, she had been as s
For Love's Sake FOUR
"....Addie? Addie?" Sue said as she waved her hand just in front of Adelynn's face. She was staring at empty space and her mind seemed to be clouded by several thoughts."Earth to Addie!" Sue whispered, finally snapping her friend out of the whirlwind of thoughts that had encased her mind."What exactly were you thinking about? I'm really feeling bad right now, Addie. What's wrong? You've been so out of it lately"Adelynn forced out a smile and looked away, gazing beyond the window. "I'm fine, Sue""You're anything but fine" Adelynn let out a sigh, absentmindedly fiddling with her wedding ring. Things would have been a lot different if she'd accepted Jensen's proposal. Maybe, she truly deserved what she was getting now. As she gazed outside the window, her eyes went wide when she noticed the sleek limo that had just pulled up into the company's parking lot. She rose to her feet, her heart rate accelerating.
For Love's Sake FIVE
'I'm so screwed', Adelynn thought as soon her gaze locked with Dominic's. Without a doubt, he looked pissed. Worried, she quickly mumbled an "I'll see you later" to Jensen and started to make her way towards her husband. When she finally got to him, he stared at her with something akin to fire in his eyes. "Did I interrupt something?" He asked, his eyes narrowed."Come on, Dominic. Don't be like this" she breathed. "Oh, really? Why the hell didn't you tell me that your boss is your exboyfriend?" He demanded in an icy tone. Adelynn sucked in a sharp breath when he made that statement. "I don't understand why you're being like this. It's not like you care about me or have feelings for me. Besides, I am not like you" she said, avoiding his eyes. When she finally looked up and saw his expression, she realized that she'd just made a very big mistake. "You know nothing about me, Adelynn. You t
For Love's Sake SIX
Jensen stared at the woman sitting in front of him, with mixed emotions. He felt both frustrated and worried. He blamed himself for giving up on her so easily four years ago. Maybe if he'd not given up then, he would've discovered what she'd desperately tried to hide from him. Perhaps, he would have been able to prevent her marriage with Dominic Suarez. "Who threatened you, Addie?" He asked for the second time when he didn't get any answer from her. "Addie, please tell me. I won't-" he exhaled sharply and balled his hands into fists. "I won't try anything to correct things. Just let me know who threatened you" he said to her and she lowered her gaze, nervously fiddling with her well manicured fingers."It was Dom-"Adelynn barely finished her statement before she was interrupted by a lady with Auburn curls and blue eyes. She seemed vaguely familiar to Adelynn, but she couldn't exactly recall where she'd seen the lady. "Ex
