EPISODE 10🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

That afternoon we headed to the gala Gabriella

had invited us to, I wore the only formal dress

in my suitcase. It was breathtaking to say the

least, it hvgged my figure flawlessly, silver and

white sequins gemstones and small pearls

everywhere ma-king it a little heavy but still

bearable to wear, the cut in the back showed

my legs in and elegant way. I let my hair

loose but this time straightened it, and as of

for my makeup I tried a smokey aye that didn’t

look so bad considering I wasn’t very good at

it.

“You look stunning.”

Was Adam reaction as I opened my door. He

looked like a model out of a magazine with his

three piece suit and his signature sleek

brushed hair.

“You don’t look to bad yourself.”

I wanted to abase his arrogance despite I was

dumfounded by how handsome he can be,

however my attempt failed, he lounged out

loud fully aware of my real intentions.

“Perhaps you want me undressed, that’s why

you’re not too content with how I look right

now.”

My cheeks blu-shed at the thought of this

handsome man undressed, immediately I

wiped off the thought.

“You’re de full of yourself.” I gave him an eye

roll trying to hide my excessively pink face.

“We better get going.” I said closing the door

to my room.

A limo and its driver waited for us at the door

of the h0tel, we hopped in and headed to the

gala. We greeted so many people upon arrival

that I was alre-ady tired, everyone seems to

know Adam here, even in a foreign country this

man is powerful and respected.

Finally at our table my feet were able to rest, I

was very relieved after reaching my chair. The

table was a big round one, with a hvge floral

center piece in the middle, it was elegance at

its purest. Adan leant to me and spoke in my

ear for anyone to hear.

“Did I tell you alre-ady you look stunning

tonight? I’m lucky you’re mine.”

A small smile formed in myl-ips as my cheeks

bec@m£ an evident shade of red.

“Adam is that you?!!!” A feminine voice made

me look to my right side, where a beautiful

woman walked towards Adam with arms wi-de

open. She could easily pas-s as a model, her

hair was the darkest shade of black I’ve seen,

long and straight, almost reaching her w@!st.

Her b©dy was nothing but perfection, very

voluptuous and it was obvious her dress’ job

was to show just that. It showed her back as

only rhinestones crossed her back, the silk

fabric looked expensive with light blue and

white abstract flowers pattern.

Adam stood up form his chair and they

embr@ced in a ti-ght hvg. I felt a small tickling

s-en-sation in my gut, Adam broke the

unnecessary ti-ght hvg looked my way and said

gr-abbing my hand ma-king me stand up to

them.

“Vivienne, meet my wife Emma. Emma this is

Vivienne, a long time friend of mine.”

I extended to offer a polite hand shake while

saying. Join us to re-ad more intriguing and exciting stories from our page throu-gh ish on+233544142683.

“Nice meeting you, I’m Emma McRoberts.”

Adam’s eyebrows frowned, no doubt because I

used his last name, ever since we got married

I tried my best to not be called by it.

Vivienne’s rolled her eyes.

“I didn’t think you’ll bring her here.”

Adam opened his mouth to say something but

a voice coming from the stage interrupted him

before he could say a word.

The host explained that an auction will be

taking place, fine art and jewelry will be

auctioned in order to collect founds. After said

items were expo-sed for the audience to see

the host started explaining where this money

will be going.

My heart was t©uçhed when they explained

how many orphan children are currently living

in the streets without shelter, proper nutrition,

education and medical treatment. My heart

went to those children that can’t get a warm

meal in their stomach before going to be-d.

Gabriella, Adam’s customer wife c@m£ to the

stage she explained how she with a group of

other ladies decided to develop a nonprofit

organization to help these children in nee-d,

with these founds they will secure the

education and proper health care of a lot of

them and will be able to get new clothing and

personal hygiene items for them.

It was in fact a great cause and I wished they

could collect as much money is possible,

sometimes I think the money is wrongfully

distributed in the world. Some have lots of it

and some had none.

The introduction c@m£ to and end and the

servers started bringing around plates with

food. It was a five course meal and Vivienne

now seating at our table wouldn’t take her eyes

off Adam. I doubt she heard a word about the

auction, she c@m£ here for something else, to

hell with the orphan children. I rolled my eyes

with a huff at the simple thought of it.

Dinner was over and voices c@m£ from the

stage once again, the auction was about to

start. People started to bid to different items, I

was outraged by the amounts coming out of

their mouths. Adam spoke in my ear.

“Is there anything you like form the auction?”

“Forget about that, everything is too expensive,

I wish I could help but ….”

“What is it that you like and I’ll get it for you.”

“Adam are you out of your mind? They are

talking about millions.”

“I wouldn’t offer if I didn’t have the resources

Emma, that’s why we are here.”

“Fine, that n£¢klace will do it.” I pointed to a

shiny emerald and diamonds n£¢klace in the

displa-y.

Adam started bidding, the price went up and

up, I was so nervous.

“St©p Adam, we can get something else, that

n£¢klace bec@m£ too expensive.”

He ignored my plead and raised his hand in

signal to bid one more time. Then gave me a

gentle k!sson thel-ips and said.

“No, I never loose.”

I was relieved when the bidding st©pped

resulting of Adam wining like he said, he never

looses.

Music started to take over and couples started

to gather in the dance floor. I stood from my

chair and informed Adam that I’ll be going to

the bathroom.

Alone in the bathroom I started washing my

hands when the door opened and Vivienne

walked to me, I decided to ignore her and

reached for the paper towel to dry off my

hands.

“I have a question for you.” Of course she had

to say something. “Do you think your marriage

will last long?”

I had to blink twice in order to digest what she

just said.

“I don’t un-derstand the nature of your

question.”

“I’ll be short and simple, leave him before he

does. Adam loves me, he always have,

unfortunately our life’s and our careers took us

into different paths, he married Amy, when she

died I had just gotten married but now I got

divorced and the only thing standing between

us…” She said ‘us’ while ru-bbing her flat

stomach ” is you.”

“You are…..”

“Pregnant, yes with his baby.”

“That’s a lie, we’ve only been here for a few

days how did he-” she cut me off

“Don’t be naïve….. All this time since my

divorce c@m£ out I’ve been back and forth form

one city to the other just to spend some time

with him all this while he was married to you.

Either you leave him with some dignity or he

will do it himself sooner or later humiliating

you. Do whatever you want but consider

yourself warned.”

And with that she stormed out, for some

reason tears stated to from in my eyes

crystalizing my vision. My heart broke, Adam

was about to have a baby, what was I thinking

was going to happen? That Adam will fall in

love with me a become a different man? How

could I be so stupid to come up with

something so absurd.

I composed myself and walked out of the

bathroom. A feeling of noxiousness c@m£ to

me when I saw Adam dancing with Vivienne,

they laughed and danced all night and my

heart breaking a little more with each second. I

didn’t want this, I didn’t want to be in the

middle of them. Different scenarios pla-yed in

my head, I don’t want to be the person who

keeps a child away from his dad or maybe he

will leave me to finally be with her, I could

never recover if I hear it coming from his

mouth. The best to do is end this myself I’m

not doing anything here .

I nee-ded some fresh air so decided to walk in

the empty garden.

“Now we’re two that hate the loud music and

the smell of alcohol.” A voice c@m£ from my

left side and a all handsome man stood next

to me. His eyes dark blue and his hair dirty

blonde, he seemed like a nice person.

“It is asphyxiating inside isn’t it?”

“Very nice meeting you, I’m Paul Lewis.” He

extended his hand for me to shake it.

“Emma.”

“Just Emma?” He asked sarcastically, he was

trying to know who I really was. Then I

remembered my full name and Adam popped

up in my head, ugh I hate him.

“Just Emma.”

“You have something in your hair.” He moved

his hand toward me but it never reached my

head, a strong hand made him st©p gr-abbing

his from behind right the second he was about

to t©uçh me.

I look to the other person and there he was,

Adam anger coming form every single pore of

his.

 

 

EMMA’S POV

“Stay away from my wife!”

I could almost see fire coming out of Adm’s

eyes.

“What the hell is your problem?!!” I yelled at

him, not un-derstanding why he was acting this

way, this man has to be bipolar. How dare he

be this rude to a stranger that have been

nothing but polite to me.

He just gr@bb£d me by my right arm and

pu-ll-ed me away, I struggled to keep up with

his pace as his steps were long and fast. I

begged him to let me go but I ha-rd ly believe

he could hear my plead, his focus was on

getting out of this place as soon as possible.

Somewhere in our way to the exit Vivienne

appeared in front of us, Adam never re-leasing

his hold on my arm or his determination to get

out immediately.

“Here you are, I was looking for you

sweetheart.”

Adam wiped her off the way and continued

strolling towards the door. She yelled his

name multi-ple times having no success, I

looked her way and realized she was shooting

daggers my way with her eyes. I wanted to tell

her, ‘you want this monster of a man, take him,

I don’t want him’.

The way back to the h0tel was in total silence,

I noticed how Adam’s fists were closed

ma-king his knuckles look white. How

unpredictable this man can be, I rolled my

eyes and looked out the window to make time

pas-s fas-ter, the tension in the car could be cut

off with a knife.

At the elevator his gaze was in me, like if

trying to re-ad a book in a foreign language, I

decided to ignore it by looking at one of the

walls of the elevator. After what felt like forever

the ‘ding’ sound of the elevator door appeared,

I attem-pted to leave before him and lock

myself in my room, Adam’s face was the last

thing I wanted to see at the moment. Before I

could even step a foot in the hallway his

strong hold was in my arm again, and started

dragging me throu-ghout the long hallway.

We walked pas-sed my room door and I knew

he was taking me to his room, I’ll get my head

cut off my n£¢k before spending another

minute in his pres£nce.

“Let go of me!!!” I yelled but got no reaction

from him. “You’re an as-s and I hate you.”

He was deaf to my yelling and insults. In a

fraction of a second he managed to open the

door to his room, walked me in not letting his

hold loose, he then tossed me in his be-d and

finally he spoke.

“You’re mine.” He said.

“You’re an as-s-hole.” I said.

My blood was boiling. What does he think I

am, a peace of furniture?

“What were you doing with that guy, alone?”

“What did you expect me to do? Watch you

dance the night away with your…. Lover?”

“My lover? What lover?”

“I know everything Adam, you don’t have to

keep pretending. Let me go, divorce me so

you can finally be with her, I’m so tired of this,

I’m tired of pretending to be someone I’m not.”

“I have no idea what this is all about.”

“You’re disgusting, I know about the baby,

you’re going to deny that too?” I badly wanted

him to say the truth and end this circus of a

marriage, but he denied it to the point of

ridiculousness.

“What baby? Emma you’re not ma-king any

s-en-se.”

“What kind of man denies his own child? St©p

Adam, you don’t have to lie to me I’m nob©dy,

I don’t mean anything. You have no idea how

tired I am, is like burning alive.” I couldn’t hold

my tears, they ran down my face

uncontrollably. At that Adam’s eyes softened, I

was surprised.

He sat on the be-dnext to me, his hand moved

to my cheek wiping a tear off and gently

c@r£ss!ngmy face while his eyes dug into

mine.

“Tell me what’s bothering you and I’ll make it

go away.”

“You won’t make this go away, you can’t.” I got

up from the be-d I had to leave this room, I

was drowning in my own misery. I was all over

the place, I didn’t know why it hurt me so

much the idea of Adam with someone else.

I ran to the door, but Adam st©pped me in

time and pushed my b©dy against it and made

me face him, his hands tra-pped me by leaning

against the door one on each side next to my

face. More pain c@m£ to me when our eyes

meet, so I decided to avoid his gaze, I thought

things will be different between us and the

realization that they never will was tearing my

insides ap@rt.

“Tell me what’s wrong.” Adam said in a soft

tone, but I wouldn’t let it get to me, not this

time.

How long could he keep this lie, I know

everything, pretending he doesn’t know what

I’m talking about won’t change the reality. I

decided to stay quiet and not look at him, I

kept my eyes in the floor. I was done going

around his lies.

“Emma, will you look at me?” He demanded

gr-abbing both my arms, he was frustrated and

so I was. I don’t know what got me but I

sl@pped him, not once but a couple times.

Adam gr@bb£d my hands and pined them

against the door in order to make me st©p. I

was gone mad, God knows I wouldn’t st©p on

my own. He moved his b©dy closer to me and

whispered in my ear.

“Tell me.” Two words was all I nee-ded to get

my knees weak, his proximity s£nt shivers up

and down my b©dy.

“You want me to tell you? Fine, I’ll tell you for

the sake on ending this. I know you and

Vivienne have a relationsh!p, and she’s

pregnant you have been waiting to be together

for the longest time. Adam I don’t want to be

in the middle of this, you don’t want me,

divorce me and and be happy with her. I don’t

care what you do just let me go.”

“If Vivienne is pregnant certainly is not by me.”

“How can you say that? Be a gentleman and

take responsibility.”

“Emma, I can’t get a woman a woman

pregnant if I haven’t even t©uçhed her. It’s been

a year since I last saw her.”

“That’s not what she said, she’s been visiting

you since she got divorced.”

“She told you that?” His eyebrows frowned, he

looked puzzled.

“Yes.”

“And you believe her.”

“Yes.”

“Emma don’t be naive, why would I bring you

here if my lover was here too? If what she said

is true it would only make s-en-se that I’ll take

the opportunity to be with her. You know I’ve

been with you all the time since we c@m£ to

this city, wouldn’t I want to be with her the

minute I stepped a foot in br@zil if we loved

each other so much? She’s clearly lying.”

He had a point, and it made total s-en-se.

Another man would struggle to prove his point

even if it was true, but not Adam, he knew

what to say and when, he’s extremely smart,it

doesn’t surprise me he’s a billionaire. He had

won and he knew it, and I knew he knew it by

the sm-irk on his face. I couldn’t let his victory

be complete, I haven’t forgotten the scene he

caused at the garden, I was so embarras-sed,

so I said in a careless tone.

“Not that I care what you do with your life, now

go of me.”

“Obviously you do, you’ve sl@pped me three

times. You’re the only one lying here.”

“I’m not lying.”

“Just say it.” He whispered in my ear, he was

teasing me, the nerve of this man.

“Twice.” I said pushing him away and walking

further in the room. His eyebrows frowned not

knowing what I meant.

“What?”

“I sl@pped you twice.”

He walked to me and I saw a predator in his

eyes, not a human but a lion about to devour

his tra-pped innocent deer, I took a step back

and could not take another one as his right

arm wra-pped around my w@!st violently

pushing me against him, my hands landed on

his ha-rd che-st, I could hear his heart pounding

inside.

“You sl@pped me three times, and you’ll be

punished for that.”

“What are you going to do?” I managed to say

in a whisper, a shiver ran down my spine I

didn’t know if I was afraid or excited for what

he just said.

“You’ll see when the time comes my sweet

Emma.”

“Why are you keeping me here? I’m not pretty,

I’m not bold I don’t even make a good wife.”

He gr@bb£d my hand and walked, st©ping in

front of a long mirror, he made me stand right

in front while he stood behind me. His arm

rounded my w@!st as he gently pressed my

back against his che-st. Adam p@rted my hair

to one side to have access the other side

where my ear and n£¢k begged for mercy. He

ran the other hand up and down my arm, only

two f!ngerstou-ching me. I was melting.

“Look at yourself Emma, you’re not pretty,

you’re beautiful and you don’t nee-d layers of

makeup, jewelry or fancy clothes to be. You

have a natural beauty and is so S-xy on you.

Your b©dy can make any man go crazy, too

bad it can only be mine.

My breathing was agitated, I was about to

explode.

“plea-se st©p.” I used my last bit of strength to

say this.

“Don’t you ever say you’re not pretty. Don’t you

ever compare yourself to other women,

because they can’t compare to you my sweet

Emma.”

“Enough.” I murmured.

“I want you to sleep here tonight, next to me.”

 

 

Emma’s POV

That night I sle-pt in Adam’s room, in his be-d,

his warmth next to me was something I can

get add!çted to. I don’t know how I went from

wanting to kill him to slee-ping next to him in

just one night, I ha-rd ly know myself these

days. He kept his promise of not tou-ching me

if I did’t want, he simply hvgged me, my back

against his che-st and all he did was whisper in

my ear.

“I want this every single night.”

I was in total silence, too nervous to come up

with a coherent s£ntence, he was only in his

bo-xers, he had no shame on str!ping off his

clothes in front of me, while I had to go to the

bathroom to change my go-wn for a white

bu-tton down shi-t Adam borrowed since all my

stuff was in the other room.

I was so nervous to be that close to his ba-re

skin but once is arms embr@ced me in a hvg I

forgot everything, I never felt safer in my entire

life, it just felt right, like that’s where I belong.

In the morning I woke up to an empty be-d,

looked around Adam’s was gone. I walked to

be balcony and there he was looking at the

ocean, my cheeks turned pink after realizing he

was still in his bo-xers, ex-posing his perfect

b©dy. I found myself wanting to t©uçh and

discover every single muscle of that b©dy,

immediately I wh!pped off that thought, what is

wrong with me ?!

He turned his gaze towards the door where I

stood, immediately his eyes pinned mine and

he gave me a sweet smile walking towards

me. Adam extended his hand for me to hold

into taking me to the balcony.

Adam’s hands framed my face.

“You look so h0t right now.”

I gave him a shy smile and looked to the floor,

he still held my face and made me look up

again. His mouth reached mine, he k!$$£d me

pas-sionately.

——————

Tonight was our last night in br@zil. I dressed

in a long white beach dress and let my hair on

its natural waves. For my makeup I just

applied mascara and went a little bold for my

li-ps, applying some h0t pinkl-ipstick.

We headed down to the restaurant for dinner.

Adam wore a suit as usual, apparently

someone was coming to meet him to sign

some do¢v-ments for one if his projects here.

This person met him at our table, Adam signed

about ten do¢v-ments and immediately the

person left wishing us a good night.

After dinner was finished we heard some noise

coming from the street that crossed the front

of the h0tel.

“What is that noise?” I asked with a little bit of

concern in my tone, in the other hand Adam

wasn’t surprised at all.

“Is just the carnival, today is the first day,

thank god we leave tomorrow.”

“A carnival?”

“Yes, is actually very famous around the world,

people come from everywhere just to see it,

but I wouldn’t waste my money on it, it gets

too crowded, and people get wasted, is a

pain.”

“I want to see it.”

“No Emma I’m not in the mood for getting

smashed by half Rio de Janeiro.”

“I’ll go alone then.”

Adam let go a huff rolledhis eyes.

 

 

“Like hell you are.”

“I’m not your prisoner, I’m allowed to go

wherever I want.”

“Emma you’re free to go wherever you want, but

is very dangerous for you to go alone, aren’t

you listening to what I just said?”

“I’m going.”

I saw frustration in Adam’s eyes, but I don’t

care, I have to show him hat I’m not letting

him control me.

“Fine, I’ll go with you, twenty minutes is all you

have, then we return to the h0tel.”

Out in the street was very loud, I could hear

the sound of different musical instruments,

mostly drums of all sizes en shapes, people

danced along with the rhythm, not caring they

were in the middle of the street. Dancers with

hvge her costumes adorned with feathers

danced in ways I didn’t know the human b©dy

was capable of. I was fascinated, the scene

looked like out of a movie, is not everyday you

get to see is, at least for me.

In the other hand Adam looked as annoyed as

ever, avoiding to step on every dirt that c@m£

across his path, giving murderous glares at

every person that c@m£ a little closer to him.

“Too bad there’s no VIP area here.” I tea-sed

him.

“That’s not what bothers me right now, is the

crave I have for yourl-ips on mine.”

Aaanddd there it goes right to the trash the

grin of victory in my face. Adam had a special

talent to come up with the best replies, he

knew exactly what to say to make me nervous.

I decided to forget about him, it was my last

night here I wanted to have fun. I started to

move my b©dy with the rhythm of the exotic

music, it was ha-rd first but the my b©dy

learned and after a while it c@m£ out naturally,

I lifted the Sk-irt of my dress a little and placed

my hands at my w@!st. Adam followed behind

me, I decided to turn around still dancing and

see how badly his irritation was, to my surprise

I saw a sm-irk on his face, he looked into my

eyes and smiled I could see a hint of lvst in

his eyes.

”I’m charmed and enchanted by you. Do you

know that?”

I liked the effect I was having on him, I felt in

control for he fist time and it was so much

fun. I continued dancing hands in my w@!st

while walking backwards, his eyes pene-trated

mine, his never ending sm-irk s£nding shivers

all over my b©dy. I was dancing for him and

he knew it and enjoyed it very much.

He gr@bb£d a white flower from one of the

streets plants and tugged it behind my ear, I

smiled at his actions but never st©pped my

dancing or my glare on him. Because I was

walking backwards I ended up crashing into

someone, Adam hvgged me saying sorry to

the person. He then looked at me and said.

“I think it’s time to go back.”

“Yes.” I replied with a smile.

We walked back to our h0tel. I noticed Adam I

little bit quiet and in de-ep thought, something

was bothering him, I didn’t un-derstand, he

seemed pretty content moments ago. For a

minute I thought of asking what was wrong,

but decided to give him his time. If there was

something for me to know he’ll tell me

eventually.

The door to my room was a few steps away

when I broke the silence.

“I want to sleep in my room tonight.”

“OK.” Adam’s reply surprised and worried me. I

thought he would make every argument

possible to make me change my mind and if

at the end I still wanted to stay in my room he

would just f0rç£ to go to his.

“Adam, is there something you want to tell

me.”

He lifted his eyes from the floor, I’ve never

seen him like this, he looked defeated. After

giving me a long and desperate k!ssthat left

me even more puzzled he stared talking.

” I’m sorry.”

Woow that was shocking Adam McRoberts

saying ‘I’m sorry’.

“Why?” Was all I could think of as a reply.

“In this trip to br@zil I noticed a side of you

that didn’t know was there, you always look so

full of life, is like you have light coming out of

you on its own. Something tells me you’ve

been thought a lot, but I’m amazed to see how

positive and carrying you always are. I’ll never

forget the morning I walked into Demi’s room

and found you slee-ping there with the same

clothes you wore the night before, you didn’t

leave her side because she was afraid of

storms, I remember asking myself ‘what is

this woman made off? After all I’ve done to her

she still cares and protects my daughter, the

daughter of a man that humiliated her so

much.’ I wish I could have a heart as pure as

yours, maybe things would have been different

now.”

“Adam what are you talking about?”

“Tonight your bright smile and your white dress

made you look like an angel and I realized I

don’t deserve someone like you, I can’t let my

dark soul take over your pure one. For that

reason I ….. I decided I should……let you go.

You’re now free from this marriage, as soon as

we return I’ll put my lawyer to work on our

divorce, and don’t worry about the money I

paid to you when all this started, that money is

yours and you don’t have to return a dime to

me.” He framed my cheeks with this hands

looked into my eyes and said. “plea-se be safe

and don’t hesitate to reach me if you nee-d

anything, I’ll always look after you my sweet

Emma. Can I k!ssyou one last time?”

In my surprised stage I only nodded a ‘yes’ the

shock I was in was st©ping me from thinking

right. Adam k!$$£d me like never before, the

k!sswas gentle and desperate at the same

time, he was struggling I could tell he was.

Ourl-ips p@rted and our foreheads ru-bbe-d

against each other. He looked me in the eyes

one last time, and I saw a broken Adam so

fragile and strong at the same time.

He walked away and I two seconds he was out

of my sight as he entered his room as quic-k

as an arrow. I rested my back against my

closed door, looked around my room and felt

something missing, not necessarily in the

room but in me, I was not the same, a piece

of me was missing.

So many questions going in circles in my head,

why is Adam acting this way, just now that I

started to open up to him. This was for real, I

just lost the man I love. Wait what?! Did I just

say I…… No …… ‘Yes’ my subconscious said.

All my life people I love leave me one way or

the other, of course Adam could not be any

different, that was the reason I pushed him

away so much I knew this will happen.

I won’t let things go down so easy, who does

he thinks he is to do this without letting me

express my thoughts. Fine, he wants to end

this, so be it but first he will hear what I have

to say, if I did something wrong he better tells

me, then just then I’ll go away and he’ll never

see me again.

I stormed out of my room and

ban-ged on his

door. Adam appeared before me, his blazer

and tie were gone and his shi-t was untucked,

I saw a clas-s of whiskey in his hand. He was
