Jaxen
"So I'm basically his trophy wife now for as long as he wants me I guess. I have to stay at his place and everything." Adara says as she pops another popcorn into her mouth.501Please respect copyright.PENANAVDPkMZfClZ
"What's so bad about that? I've heard he's got good money."501Please respect copyright.PENANAgUsftZvkYG
"You're not listening, are you? I don't care about the money. I just don't wanna be tied down all the time. And the fact that my brothers knew what they were planning and yet they told me nothing."501Please respect copyright.PENANAOq3fTMg54f
"Probably because they knew that you run," I smirk.501Please respect copyright.PENANAblvKR8xpYm
"I mean of course I would! But-"501Please respect copyright.PENANAkBDNrfoNHB
"So let me get this straight. You don't want a husband?"501Please respect copyright.PENANAcYjmWNBBKX
"I mean I do, later in life, I guess. But I want to at least have the chance to get to know them and shit."501Please respect copyright.PENANAb8nBw0yQQS
"True but Rey isn't all that bad from what I've heard. He's good with the ladies-"501Please respect copyright.PENANAbBwtxODmdM
"I don't care! He could have the biggest dick on this earth and I still wouldn't marry him. I prefer men who don't buy me, thank you."501Please respect copyright.PENANAo3VarBFS87
I laugh a little, thinking of how this would all go down when Rey arrives.
Our conversation came to an abrupt stop when we both hear a sharp knock at his front door.501Please respect copyright.PENANAGD68Q4e9S7
"See that bookshelf over there? There's pull the first bottom book go inside and don't make any noise. I'm guessing they've caught up to you."501Please respect copyright.PENANA0qrXXT60Af
"I thought you said they wouldn't find us! Damnit!"501Please respect copyright.PENANAsQxwZBMB0D
501Please respect copyright.PENANASLdMmcx95k
She quickly nods and does as I tell her to, trying to move as quietly as possible. Once I see her slip inside the dark room I turn to open the door.
"Where is she, Jaxen," Rey asks as he looks around me.501Please respect copyright.PENANANSsN4DFsxo
"Where's who?" I reply calmly.501Please respect copyright.PENANA0HeoOhyrSv
"You know exactly who I'm talking about. Adara. I know she's here."501Please respect copyright.PENANANAVE0aVRIA
"Oh, Zarcone's daughter? Why the hell would she be here?"501Please respect copyright.PENANATGcaepRUx5
"That's none of your Goddamn business."501Please respect copyright.PENANA9DL2uefg4P
"Wait let me guess, if you're looking for her here then that must mean that she's running. Running from you or her parents I suppose?" I might not be a part of the Diamonde's anymore but I still hear things."501Please respect copyright.PENANAOFirR5yutx
"She's just scared. I'm not going to hurt her. She's my wife."501Please respect copyright.PENANAlGKRAP29vO
"Wife? We're doing arranged marriages now? That's a new low for Zarcone. Didn't you ever think to be in her shoes? What if she doesn't want to be your wife?" I ask, cocking my head to the side.501Please respect copyright.PENANANkBzblQAZs
"I'll discuss that with her. But I won't be able to do that unless she gets out and talks to me."
"I'm here. Talk," she says as she emerges from the bookshelf. With a blazing red pistol in her hand pointed directly at Rey. She looks fucking gorgeous. Red gun, red summer dress. It's too bad that she belongs to Rey. And he never likes to share. I give her a look not to do anything crazy. I should've known she wouldn't listen and stay put. She never does.501Please respect copyright.PENANAE10Y6ijdAw
"Come home with me and we'll talk about this whole situation," Rey says as he looks at her.501Please respect copyright.PENANAnLugkTtYa1
"No. How will I know that you won't just take me and keep me in your basement or something?"501Please respect copyright.PENANAcatrkJ9Ctp
"Drop the gun Adara, I just want to talk."501Please respect copyright.PENANAcP1GIIDXUw
"Talk? You and my parents pretty much just ruined my already miserable life. If you wanted me as your wife all you had to do was show up at my doorstep and ask my father for my hand in marriage as any normal person does."501Please respect copyright.PENANAig9H4rddAv
"I know, look. This wasn't my decision. I just-"501Please respect copyright.PENANAEnTjI3Dpzj
"It was your decision. You didn't have to buy me.501Please respect copyright.PENANAC2WzHfiNis
"I was trying to help you!"501Please respect copyright.PENANACjVqJZKe61
"Help me?! With what! This isn't helping me at all."501Please respect copyright.PENANAVxJarkOqbj
"I'm sure you don't want to go back to your father? I know how much you hate him."501Please respect copyright.PENANA3lhFpIoGzk
"I don't-"501Please respect copyright.PENANA2BxVYOrulj
"Don't fucking lie to me."501Please respect copyright.PENANAn7BSYq6m3V
"She can stay with me." I interrupt.501Please respect copyright.PENANAVLKHhMAIcM
Rey whips his head to now face me and he looks livid almost.501Please respect copyright.PENANAAFVldbf5Fz
"Fuck no. When I bought you, I planned on keeping you. I'm not changing my mind."501Please respect copyright.PENANAVkQMgWvo5P
"Then I'm not going with you," Adara says sternly.501Please respect copyright.PENANAk0U8k9RxQ2
"You know I can just take you right?"501Please respect copyright.PENANAB7f5uR017P
"Oh, so you're threatening me now? I have the gun here."501Please respect copyright.PENANAYfCVhp8hQL
"And I don't have one?"501Please respect copyright.PENANAFpNUsttbVg
"Alright stop. Both of you bickering annoys the shit out of me. Since he doesn't want you staying here, you go to him or back to your father's."501Please respect copyright.PENANAEFQbL5V2oF
"I thought you were on my side Jaxen! You know what, fine. I'll go with you and we'll talk. I rather eat dirt than go back to that unstable household."501Please respect copyright.PENANAq64MJ7b6pF
"Let's go th-"501Please respect copyright.PENANA8veLxrDZX5
"But, I want my things and I want Melanie to come with me."501Please respect copyright.PENANAKAjdpn7yqv
"Done. Let's go."
I sigh and watch her go upstairs to get all of her things.501Please respect copyright.PENANASwLRztNFv7
"If you weren't working for me, you could've been an actor. You didn't need to do all that shit."501Please respect copyright.PENANAdYgt8JnoAk
"I had fun doing it," I grin before I face him.501Please respect copyright.PENANAl9N9gRoMDz
"You really don't want her to know that we know each other?"501Please respect copyright.PENANALE6nYTqUbF
"Fuck no, at least, not yet anyway. I just don't want her to feel like I just handed her over. She already hates the hell out of you from what I've heard. The thought of her marrying you is making her sick to the stomach. Like she actually gagged. It was quite funny to watch actually." I lightly laugh.501Please respect copyright.PENANAZMmPHjHrFo
"Well, she has no choice. Wait until I tell her that she needs to have my babies-"501Please respect copyright.PENANAXtJ40DQVCn
"What?"501Please respect copyright.PENANAFEhUXUs9XX
"Yeah, I need her to have my heir."501Please respect copyright.PENANAvTRZakWJn5
"You're kidding, right? Please tell me that's a joke. Do you think that she's going to let you even go near her? Good luck with that." I say before I go upstairs to help Adara with her things.501Please respect copyright.PENANAWSMQcveH51
