The Signature

The Unwelcome Guest: Adriana's Pov The evening drew very quickly, Chelsea wore a blue short sleeveless straight dress, reaching her mid-thighs, with a pair of black heels. Her brunette hair collectively held together, leaving a perfect view of her back. Mom and Krista wore regular white dress but it was beautiful. I was in my peach dress, with my face well groomed, postured on a couch staring around, although there hadn't been any form of decoration, the room was filled with pure joy. "Sister?" Krista called, "here, your phone is ringing." The caller ID read, Drake. "Hey, sweetheart? I am very sorry I will be a little late." "Okay," I replied, sighed then turned my gaze to the cake resting on the table, imploring God he would be here before I made a wish. "What did he say?" Chelsea asked, fishing for information. "He said he will be a little late." "Adriana? I always tell you I don't like that guy, I don't know, I just_" "Chelsea? Please, it's my birthday." "Yes, it's your b

Alexander's Pov"Mary gave a 360-turn, facing me with an unreadable expression, leaving a vast room of curiosity.""Mary? What is wrong?" I asked, getting up to take a look out of my room."Oh nothing, I thought I saw something. She said still lost in thought."Oh seriously, is my penthouse now a ghost town?" I asked myself, passing hands in my hair out of frustration."Mary, what did you see?" I asked, making sure it was not what am thinking."What is with your sudden interest? This is very unlike of you, are you seeing anyone?" She asked, turning her head to the side."You should leave now," I said, sipping my wine."I wouldn't even think for a moment you are seeing me alone, I know there are so many, I will leave now." She blew a kiss and turned to leave.I sighed heavily, stared at the glass, and poured the last drop down my throat. Immediately sat down in bed, Helena entered."Sir, please dinner is served," Helena said, gathering both hands behind her."Okay, I will be there in a

Staring at my lips, he pulled closer. I swallowed hard as goosebumps covered my entire body, as though I were buried in an ice pool. Meanwhile, I could feel heat attacking me from the inside. I blinked a few times, not being able to maintain eye contact.He pulled closer until there was absolutely no space between us, close enough that I could hear his heartbeat. I couldn't take it, so I pulled back, eventually laying on the couch. "Shush… Ana, stay put." He whispered while keeping his finger on his bottom lip. He redrew his finger from his lip and trailed it along mine. This time around, my chest fell in and out as my mouth dropped open, struggling for enough breath.He smiled, and I wondered what was funny." Was he mocking my reaction as he touched me?" I asked myself.Slowly, he moved his finger and suddenly, he raised me off the couch onto the bed. "I just tried to clean your mouth, why did you get all tense? Did the temperature in the room change?" He asked, smirking and liftin

Ana’s P.o.v“Alex? I’ve never been serious. When are you taking me to see my mom? You promised, did you not?.” I questioned with all seriousness.“Promise? That sounds new to me. Did I ever promise you? Oh misinterpretations again, sweetheart? I said I might. Hope you know what I mean when I say might?”“I am truly sorry, sweetheart. You are not going anywhere.” He said, moving towards his bed.“Alex? This is no joke. We made a deal.” I said, yelling, with fluffy tears falling down my eyes.“What is your proof? Anyway, can you help me with my shirt? I need to take it off.” He retorted, turning to face me under his lowered gaze.“Alex? Please…please... with all due respect, please don’t do this to me. I know you are capable of so many things, but please do not do this.” I pleaded, hoping to change his mind, but he’s got a heart of rock.“Ana? Goodnight, sleep tight.” He simply said followed by a wicked grin.“I am not going anywhere.” I challenged.“Don’t worry, you can see my bed has e

Ana's PovStaring intently, I entered with my other leg as I slowly closed the Italian door and leaned against it, still without uttering a word. To me, the expression sketched on Alex's wasn't because of him being caught in the act, but rather, by the fact that I was here in his company. His disciplined brows shot up with a questionable look, making the skin on his forehead gather above and revealing the deep lines. His mouth dropped open a little as though he was about to speak, however, he did not and then pressed it finely together.He trailed back, to lean on his table with arms crossed over his broad chest and gaze lowered. He looked through his long brows and finally spoke, "Ana, what are you doing here?"I snapped at his question and swayed closer to him as each step was followed by a resonance made by my t-strap heel. "You should be in your seventh heaven. You are very fortunate your mom had to leave due to an emergency. She would have seen and known the kind of son and hu
