ADELE "Bianca was the love of my life", Chris started and my eyes widened instantly. I was not expecting that at all. Chris had someone he loved? Why did he get married to me then? "Oh", I replied to him and he continued. "I thought even if I had to get married to someone, it would be her. Everyone knew us. Everyone who knew us together would always praise and tell us how good we looked together. They called us the perfect match back then; a handsome bachelor and a beautiful model. We fitted each other so well", Chris said with a chuckle as he looked up at me before taking his gaze off me quickly. "We were in love, or so I thought. I guess I was the only one in love all along", Chris commented and his face suddenly went into a frown. "What happened then?", I pushed and he looked up at me. He cleared his throat properly before replying, "She cheated on me", he said as he stared intently at me, not taking his gaze off for once and I swallowed. Why do I feel like I knew that
ADELE Chris left for work this morning after we had a late breakfast. He teased me a lot about my wanting to sleep with him and laughed a lot. I kept up with it every single time because he was always laughing and it looked so genuine to me. After what he told me yesterday, the least I can do for him is let him laugh at me, as long as he is happy. I walked upstairs and was about to head to the room. I passed by Chris's study room and contemplated a lot about it but when I could not help it, I pushed the door to his study room open. The person Chris hired was here during the weekend to clean it up when we were at Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey's house, so the place is clean. I walked further into the room and without wasting time, I sat on his leather chair. I turned on the computer and quickly went to the internet. I can't help it. I searched for Bianca and Christopher's names together and the news about their breakup came up instantly. So, they were that famous then. I looked prop
CHRISTOPHER "That's my ex-fiance", Adele said to me and my hand stopped what they were doing instantly. Her ex-fiance? I looked up at her instantly before looking down at the diagrams in my hand. Wow, it's a lot. "The- they have no face", I commented and she sighed before packing the sheets I had spread all over the couch. I got back on the couch as I watched Adele arrange the sheets back together. She dropped her hands slackly on her lap with the sheets still clenched tightly in them. "I couldn't draw him properly", she finally commented without looking at me. "I still can't", her lips twitched when she said that and I dropped my head helplessly to look at the tiled floor. "Why?", I let out my curiosity before looking up at her. I met her eyes on me, so I asked again. "Why can't you draw him?" "I don't know", her reply came immediately and it seemed pained. She is not happy with the fact that she can't draw his face and that somehow makes me sad as well. "For the few m
ADELE I walked out of the house as I clenched the silver purse in my hand tightly. Chris got down from the Mercedes car and he smiled widely immediately his eyes fell on me. I am in a long red gown that has a slit that starts from the middle of my thigh. The v-shaped neckline of the gown is really wide and the sleeveless arms of the clothes fall loosely at the side of my arms. The gown is really simple and I like it very much but just the tape of the neckline and the downline of the arms are small rhombus-shaped stones that glisten beautifully under the sunlight. The slit has ruffle designs on both sides of it as well. I topped it off with the new shiny silver heel sandals and a silver purse. "Hey", Chris greeted me when I got to where he was. "Hey", I replied with a small smile and he stretched his right hand toward me. I placed mine in it and he held my hand firmly in his. My silver bangle which has a red ruby embedded into the center of it shook slightly on my wrist. Chri
ADELE I stared at the lady sitting not very far away from me and my lips twitched. She really is beautiful. No wonder Chris was in love with her. And her poise is another thing, she carries herself in a way I wouldn't. So elegant and affluent. "Four million dollars", I heard another voice say I turned away from Bianca's direction. An older lady is holding her placard up as she just said that. "Five million dollars", Chris said as he raised our bidder card up and a smile crept onto my face. Even if this handsome man beside me loves Bianca, he is still my husband. He is- mine. "Five point five million dollars", Bianca said and I growled internally. "Five point seven million dollars", the other woman said and I sighed. I guess I am not getting that set then. "Six million dollars", Bianca's voice came again. "Six point five million dollars", the older woman said again. "Seven million dollars", Bianca quickly said loudly. She must really want it too. "Nine million dollar
CHRISTOPHER I tugged continuously at Adele's zip but it just won't budge. Adele is holding her hair to the front so I would see the zip properly and her upper back is exposed but that isn't helping at all. I can't count how many times my eyes have trailed up there just to look at that smooth white skin. I can't help it. This zip is stressing me out. I dragged the zip forcefully at once and my eye widened when I heard that sound. "Did my zip just break?", Adele's voice came instantly and I gulped as I stared at the broken zip in front of me. "Uh-", I started nervously and Adele turned to look at me. Her eyes met mine and I can feel the cold sweat dripping down the side of my head. She looks annoyed. "I mean", I started as I cleared my throat. "Who makes clothes like that anyways?", I questioned with a forced, nervous chuckle but Adele isn't smiling at all. "I told you I did not want to ruin the dress!", Adele shrieked as she hit her right foot on the floor. "Well, I-", I
CHRISTOPHER I sat down on the couch and clasped my hands underneath my chin in thought. I can't explain what it is that I feel toward Adele but I know that I am attracted to her. That's the explanation I can give right now about what happened between us yesterday. I was attracted to her, that's all. I mean no guy wouldn't be after seeing that much of her white, porcelain, smooth, silky skin. I stood up from the couch and went to the bed instead. It is seven in the morning and Adele hasn't woken up yet. It is more of the reason why I put the plates outside. I do not want anything or anyone to disturb Adele's sleep. I walked to her side and bent down on the floor as I stared at her sleeping face. A few strands of her hair is covering her right eye, so I pushed it to the top of her head with my finger. I stared at her beautiful face and a smile crept onto my lips. Setting my left hand against her right cheek, I stroked her cheek with my thumb. She moved her head continuously in m
ADELE I sat down in the sitting room as I await her arrival. I have been chatting with Vivian on social media lately and she insisted on visiting. She said she wants to meet Chris as well. And I thought, since I am at a disadvantage for not telling her I was getting married, it is only fair to approve her offer of visiting. We only connected back because of my marriage. I wouldn't have replied to her message on the day she texted me when Chris announced our wedding, but Chris said it wouldn't be bad to chat and go out with old friends. So, I am giving it a try. I had shown her picture to Jacob, the security guard, earlier this morning and he would let her once she arrives. I moved forward on the couch to pick up the remote when the doorbell suddenly rang. Oh my! She is here already? That's fast. I looked up at the wall clock and it was a few minutes past two in the afternoon. I took in a deep breath as I stood up from the couch and walked towards the door. I opened and I am
