The Bride

He looked at me coldly as I chewed my food and there was a long silence as we waited. I watched him swallow and swallow and I was waiting for what he was going to say, but he completely ignored me and took the pasta and put it in his mouth.

Did he know I was there? Maybe Morris said I invited him to dinner.

I started to eat, but the silence is killing me. I looked at Tristan and I knew he was looking at me, but it was hard to read his expression. I looked away and carefully ate my food, he looked at me and his gaze pierced my skin and I felt it.

“Why are you so curious?” he asked. “Here you go?”

I grunted and looked at him. I raised my eyebrows and pretended to be confused. He took the glass, drank the wine, and stood up. As he walked, I looked at him a little confused. “That fool.”

I muttered to myself, and now I can eat comfortably.

“Maurice”.

“Yes, Miss Simpson?”

“Did I say I went to his room to invite Tristan to dinner?”

“Is not bad.”

“thanks.”

I was relieved, but why did you say it was warm? I was sure he didn’t see me.

I pulled out my cell phone and called Adrian on a video call. I wanted to see his smile and hear his jokes. I needed something to shake my mind off the image of Tristan punching the mirror.

I used one of the cups to hold the phone up and got the call on the third ring. I choked when I saw Adrian standing in front of me with only a towel around his waist. He had a broad contoured six-pack chest tattooed on his left chest that flowed from his head.

She wiped her hair with a white towel and smiled at me. If I hadn’t choked, my mouth would have been drooling.

“take care.”

I told Maurice, who came running to help.

I drank and passed out. “Are you ok now?”

Hearing him ask, I looked at my phone screen, trying not to take my eyes off him.

“Yes”.

He smiled. – Did you just take a shower?

– Unclear?

– I’ll change my clothes and call you.

– I said breathing as my eyes fell on the line, trying not to imagine the scarf falling late.

“Wait a minute.”

He said when I wanted to end the conversation. He left and I had the opportunity to see his beautiful and very spacious room. There are no paintings or paintings on the white walls,

The decor of the room was simple, but of course expensive. He returned in black sweatpants and a red shirt that showed off his muscles.

“Is everything alright?” “It is much better.”

I will never forget this hot image in my mind. It blocked Tristan’s view as it hit the mirror. “What are you eating?”

“Pasta and very sweet sauce.”

“I just ordered Chinese food and I’ve been waiting since morning.”

– I lost my appetite because of you.

I frowned and he smiled. “Where’s Tristan?”

“She acts like my little sister on her period.”

“What happens?”

I told everything without missing what happened. “Stubborn!”

He looked away and cursed again when he heard a murmur.

“You’re doing it again.”

– He exhales with a strange expression on his face. “What else do you want to do?”

– It’s nothing, I’ll call you back.

Before I could speak, he hung up.

I looked at the screen and left. I took bath and waited for his call but an hour passed and he didn’t answer me.

I wanted to know what was going on with Tristan. I wanted to know why Adrian had that look. He was afraid. He said something about doing it again, not the first time.

What happens? why am i here

I looked at the clock and it was almost midnight, so why was I still waiting for his call? I was thirsty and there was no water in the room, so I went to the kitchen. I held my phone in my hand, thinking he might have decided to call. On the way, I heard the two arguing and recognized the voices of Adrian and Tristan.

Standing up again, I stood out of sight and leaned against the railing to hear what they were arguing about. “… You think it’ll be easy?!” Tristan exclaimed.

“I know he’s not, but you can’t do that in front of him, dammit!” must be stopped.”

‘I don’t know what to do, okay? I never

He wanted it.”

“There, it works somehow.”

“It should work. I want it to work, but I want something else.”

“I know she’s lonely”

My doorbell blocked it and I opened it loudly

– I looked at my phone. Why did Veena call me late? I knew I was already caught.

I declined the call and tried to run upstairs before anyone saw me, but no luck. I missed a step and fell down the stairs with a thud. – Chloe?

– Chloe?

I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked at Adrian who was standing at the foot of the stairs.

Tristan came and sat next to her. He seemed angry for some reason. He shook his head and went up the stairs, wondering if he was going to come help, but he looked at me and passed.

I grabbed his leg and stopped him from going down. I looked at Adrien as Tristan’s loud knock on the door echoed throughout the building.

A smile appeared on Adrian’s face. It was a smile that knew I was listening to their conversation. At least he wasn’t as angry as Tristan.

– It may happen?

She asked as she rested half her weight on the rails, still wearing the same clothes, from our phone call that ended sooner than expected because of one person. “I’ll give it my all.”

I felt a hot pain around my ankle when I tried to stand up.

“He doesn’t have that.”

He walked over to where I was, his hands were behind my knees and a strange vibration was coursing through my legs as he lifted me up and down. He slowly laid me down on the sofa and sat in front of me.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

– Which ankle did you hurt? “This is.”

As I moved my left leg to look, he caught my ankle with his fingers. I screamed in pain and tried to grab my ankle but he held me tight.

“It’s sure.”

he said smiling. “How much did you hear?”

she asked, rubbing the spot lightly.

“I was only there for 5 seconds before my phone blew my cover.”

He smiled softly. “So you didn’t understand what I said?”

“Yeah, I tried to put the words together, but it’s more confusing.”

“Well, I guess I’m not ready to figure it out yet.”

– 5 days left. “Take your time”.

He got up and said Love sat next to me on the couch.

“I can’t be here forever, I have a life to live”

“Know”. He looked at me as if he had more to say and said with a warm smile. “Why is he suddenly mad at me? It’s because I saw him beating me.”

the mirror?”

“He’s got a lot of work to do. I suggest you take a break, but let me know if anything happens.”

– There are many things? like a psychopath?

He smiled softly and stood up without answering. What didn’t they tell me?

“I have to go home now.”

He said looking at his Apple Watch. “It’s 1:00 in the morning, you should go to bed.”

“I can sleep whenever I want.” I said angrily.

He looked at me for a long time as if he wanted to read my mind and I frowned at him. “You mean a lot to him, Chloe, wait for him.” He will tell you.

– He spoke softly and took a step closer.

And I combed my hair back. “Wait a minute.”

He whispered with his thumb on my cheekbones and I almost leaned into his hand. His touch felt like a thrill in my hand and a fire lit where he repeatedly touched it.

Thirsty because there was no sense of distance between us, did he feel what I felt? He once fell in love, but he doesn’t feel that way anymore.

I looked into his gray eyes and I wouldn’t stop him if he wanted to kiss me now. As if he needed protection from something, he put his hands aside and put them in his front pockets.

I was disappointed but tried not to show it. “Stay away from Tristan and sleep, Chloe.”

He turned to me and smiled.

“Hi.”

I told myself more than that. I turned to go back to my room but bumped into a hard surface and rubbed my forehead.

I looked up to see Tristan’s angry face, bangs falling over his left eye, making him look younger. I looked away and tried to walk away but he grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards him.

“What is Tristan!”

I grabbed my sore hand and rubbed it. “What you heard?”

“Nothing helps the reason I’m here.”

“Do not lie!”

‘Is it that important? You’re still telling me the truth.

“Then wait until the time comes and pay no attention.”

“interesting?”

I said with a short smile. “Don’t make it harder than it is now.” – He said and left.

I clenched my fists, saw him, thought about what Adrian had to say and decided to stay in my lane. Tristan pretended it wasn’t me and ignored me for the next three days. I was upset and thought I was fine at first, but that was a lie. I couldn’t understand why he was mad at me and I didn’t choose to be here or be a part of what was going on, why

Should I receive his wrath?

I had something to say to him this morning and he made a face that made my lips close. I was annoyed. While eating breakfast, I dropped the spoon and made a loud noise to get his attention. He looked at me and I looked at him without smiling.

“I know Hadrian said he would give you space, but ignore me completely like I’m invisible.”

He got up as if I hadn’t spoken and picked up the faucet and the phone. “I am leaving”.

He spoke to Morris and left, Morris following with the briefcase.

I exhaled forcefully through my nostrils and stood up. If my parents believed in me, I should have prepared an online course.

So far so good

Better than my college class. I skipped dinner because I didn’t want to be offended by Tristan’s insensitive attitude towards me.

Maurice came to invite me to dinner, but I pretended to be asleep. I told Adrian the next day and he seemed upset when he came home.

I clenched my fists and went to Tristan’s room. Not knowing what to do, he sat with his back on a chair. What is he going to do? After we finished talking, he didn’t say anything. I leaned back in my chair and looked at the stairs and Tristan’s door where Adrian’s tall figure had just entered.

I didn’t know his room was soundproof. It was because I waited a few minutes to hear something, but there was no sound. My heart skipped a beat when the door opened
