Chapter 110: Chapter 110
"Then lie to me" I said after a while, taking another step closer to her "Lie to me and tell me you don’t know who I am. That you forgot how this feels like." I cradled her face in my hands and and rubbed my thumbs on her cheek "That you the way it felt when you were in my arms"
"I-I..."
"We talked so much that night" I said "It was like we knew each other our whole lives don’t tell me you can forget that because god damn it I won’t believe it." I took a deep breath "It was you wasn’t it? Say it"
Determination flashed in her eyes and she raised her head, looking at me "Yes it was"
I let out the breath I didn’t even know I was holding "Then you have some explaining to do"
"I don’t have to explain anything" she said with her teeth clenched "Not to anything, and not to anyone" she took a shaky breath "I’m sorry for what happened three years ago but it’s done. We’re both different people now and I don’t owe you anything"
She straightened her shoulders and walked past me, this time I let her. I stayed frozen and heard the door of the adjoining room open and close. My mate was stubborn and convincing her to give me a chance was going to be a very challenging task
Adrian’s P.O.V.
"Adrian?" Lily said as she came into my room. I immediately smiled at her as she walked towards me with a file in her hands.
"Whats up L?"
"Remember when I talked to Max?" I nodded "Well I asked him to get me some information about Nate and this is what he gave me" she handed me the file.
"Thanks Lily." I hugged her "For everything; giving her the job, being nice to her, this. It means a lot to me"
"Well what did you expect?" she said "You know how long I’ve wanted to see you happy again?" She grinned "Plus by doing this I get godmother rights eh?" She winked and I chuckled and then frowned
"Why are you putting perfume?" I asked "You never used to"
She shrugged "Ren got me some perfume as a present and I like them" she stood up "Now I’m gonna leave you to your snooping." With that she got up and left.
I looked at the file in front of me and took a deep breath before opening it. The first part was basic giving me her name age. She was a straight A student with a perfect attendance and she had a lot of praises from her teachers. It didn’t say which college she applied to.
It mentioned she used to live with her parents and brother and sister. I already knew how much she loved her brother and sister. She mentioned it a lot.
I stopped as a reached a certain part, looking shocked at what was written. It said Nate was admitted to the hospital when she was fourteen. It said she was in a fire and suffered from smoke inhalation and burns and even cuts. I felt my fists clench at the thought of my mate hurt.
that was all the important information in the file but it left me with more questions than answers. I sighed in frustration and went to my closet, pulling out the scarf from her dress, the one she forgot that night, the one I kept.
I inhaled her scent, faint but still there and I smiled as the memories came back of that night.
"What do you keep looking at?" I asked as she took looked into her purse for about the sixth time in five minutes
She shrugged "My pager"
I raised an eyebrow and looked back at the road "A pager? What for?"
"For my brother, Gabriel, checking to see if he’s okay that’s all" she said "I didn’t want to leave him tonight"
"How old is your brother?" I asked glad to know things about her, she was mate and I wanted to know every single detail about her life.
"Twelve" she said with a smile "But he’s so old for his age, sometimes he seems older than me" she laughed "He’s read every single classic book and he loves discussing them with me and we can stay up all night talking" I smiled at how her eyes brightened when she talked about her brother, it was obvious how much she loved him
"You don’t really find a lot of twelve year olds who read" I chuckled "I know I certainly didn’t"
"He’s amazing" she said with a shake of her head "He’s started reading Wuthering Heights now. Imagine that! A twelve year old reading wuthering heights." She sighed "I love him to pieces"
"It shows" I said smiling "Any other brothers or sisters?"
"YEah I have a little sister, Grace. She’s just a year younger than me. She’s amazing, she’s nice, funny and utterly gorgeous, the star in my family." She laughed "Even as a baby, we would go to the grocery shop and someone would stop us to ask mom if she was interested in putting her in a few baby commercials and shoots"
"And did your mom accept?"
"No" she shook her head "She never used her as a baby, she said it would make people think she was using her daughter for money. But this year Grace has been in a few photo-shoots, her pictures are all over and she’s quite popular in school" She said and I looked at her and couldn’t see a hint of jealousy or bitterness towards her sister.
"I guess beauty runs in the family" I said giving her a wink as I pulled up to the place I wanted her to see. "If Grace looks anything like you it’s no wonder she’s getting all these modelling offers"
