EMPIRE OF OBSESSION

CHAPTER 2- A SHATTERED HEART

VIOLET’s POV

I felt my breath catch in the back of my throat at the news. Me? Pregnant! I placed my hand down on my rather flat stomach trying to feel something. Anything. Oh my goodness!!!! I was fraught with joy and there was no way it wouldn’t make Adrian equally happy now that we have a baby on the way.

Soon, I arrived and parked my car discreetly not wanting to alert him. I walked around the building, hurrying my steps, one foot in front of the other so I could meet him in time but just then, my eyes caught sight of something up front that brought my steps to an abrupt halt.

A loving couple standing in front of the building with a little boy of four who seemed to be their son. They were holding hands, sharing light kisses, and looking into the sky as if expecting something to happen any moment from now.

Is that my husband with the supermodel, Sophia Vergas, and her son? No sooner, I could hear whispers of conversations from the passerbys.

“Oh my, isn’t that Adrian Ravenwood?”

“Indeed, it’s him. With his long-lost lover.”

“Aww, don’t they just look like the perfect family?”

“I hear he’s got a fireworks show tonight just for her.”

“This is so adorable. If only he had gotten married to Sophia Vergas instead. They’re the picture-perfect couple.”

“Where can I get a man as romantic as him?”

What? He lied to me about having an important meeting and abandoned our anniversary all for his w***e?!!!

Just then the fireworks went out. It was a cascading magnificent art of sparkles that sprawled endlessly across the sky shining brightly and writing out the words;

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEETHEART.….and more love to us.

“Aww, Adrian. This is so beautiful.” I watch her say to him, cupping his face with both her hands before placing a kiss on his cheek, leaving an imprint of her bright red lipstick.

Wrapping his arms around the waist of Sophia’s perfect model silhouette, he pushed her blonde hair back and He looked into her pair of ocean blue eyes like he was beholding a fragile petal. “Anything for you, honey.”

I rubbed my arms together at the sudden chill that engulfed every fiber of my being, threatening to break me. Enough of this! I stomped my foot not being able to take the humiliation and hurt anymore.

“ADRIAN?” I called out and Adrian was wide-eyed with shock to see me standing just a few feet away.

“V-Violet?”
