Ding dong! The door bell rang.
"I'll get it," Victoria gushed as she headed for the door with a bright smile.
Victoria rushed to the door, with a smile that she didn't wanna lose. She touched the knob and opened the door widely with her eyes still glued to Nicholas and Jake. Still smiling brightly, Victoria slowly moved her eyes to the door and she froze.
Her smile suddenly faded. Her skin felt cold and her heart was pounding in her chest making her shiver. She had no idea what to think and her voice was gone for some time. Then her eyes were wide open as a shiver ran down her spine.
"You!" Victoria gasped, gaping at the door. "What...what are you doing here?"
But he just stood there without saying a word, smiling as he crossed his arms on his chest. Victoria quickly took her hands and rubbed her eyes, hoping for whatever she had seen to be an illusion or just an imagination in her mind. But she saw the same thing once those hands were removed from her eyes. She saw Adrian.
Adrian was in front of her, dressed in expensive clothes and looked different. He was wearing a light blue designer's skinny jean, a bright pink shirt which was tucked in and blue snickers. His hair was tied in pony tail with braids on either side. His face was glowing with a smile which Victoria thought was irritating and there was a huge bag on the ground, making Victoria wonder. The boy had left without anything.
She couldn't believe it and her heart was racing, almost jumping out of her chest. She wondered how he had come and...no, it just wasn't happening.
Victoria took a quick glance behind, wondering if anyone was looking in her direction. She turned back once she was sure no one was looking in her direction. She took a deep breath, crossed her arms on her chest and got confident.
"What are you doing here?" Victoria said, literally telling him to go away with her eyes.
Adrian chuckled, repositioning his arms on his chest. He looked straight at her, getting closer to her till he was just an inch apart. He could see past those eyes, she was scared and he knew why.
"Why, mother," Adrian said, rolling his eyes in a sexy way. "Are you not happy I'm back?"
Victoria moved her hands to her waist and gave him a quick pose of confidence. She breathed in loudly and chuckled.
"You don't belong here," Victoria said with seriousness and determination in her voice. "The doors of this house are still closed to you. You are not married to my son anymore." She laughed, twisting her head making her hair rise. "Don't you remember? I threw you out and...?"
"Mother," Adrian said, grinning at Victoria. "Well, you see, I just want to be with my husband. I think..."
"There's nothing to think about," Victoria snapped, moving her hand to hold the door. "You're not getting back in here and that's final."
After saying that, Victoria quickly held the door tightly and began closing it with a smile on her face. She was expecting him to lose his smile but to her surprise he just stood there still smiling. No way would she allow him in the house. Not after her plan had become successful.
Suddenly she couldn't push the door anymore. She tried to push but she couldn't manage to push it. Something was wrong with the door and she couldn't push it. She needed that door closed before any of her family members realize that Adrian was back.
Victoria moved her hand and tried to push the door with her might when all of a sudden she felt Adrian's hand on her wrist. She quickly stopped and traced his hand with her eyes all the way to that smiling face. That smiling face was making her angry, big time. If only she could throw him out of the house.
"Mother," Adrian said, flipping his long hair to the other side. It went all the way to his shoulder.
"Are you in a hurry to throw me out?" He laughed softly, tightening his grip on her arm. "Don't you want to hear what your son in law has to say?"
"You are not my son in law," Victoria snapped, furiously moving her hand from the door.
She took Adrian's hand from her wrist and took a step backwards. Victoria couldn't stand Adrian one more time. She needed him out.
"What?" Adrian gasped, touching his chest in astonishment. "I thought I was. "
"Well, you are not," Victoria said, getting nearer. She gripped his arm so tightly and began moving. Her plan was to throw him out like she had done a few days ago.
"So...get out of this house before..."
"Before what," Adrian said angrily, releasing his arm from her.
To say Victoria was surprised was understatement. She was immediately filled with intense anger. She wanted to give the boy a hot slap. How dare he do that to her? That is something that she was not gonna take from someone like Adrian. Just who does he thinks he is, Victoria thought. She was still the queen of the house and Adrian was just a pawn.
Victoria furiously raised her hand and directed it at Adrian's face. She was ready to slap the boy back into his senses.
"How dare..."
Victoria's eyes couldn't believe it. Even she could not totally believe it. Adrian, stupid little Adrian just caught her hand and was now holding it tightly. She was really shocked.
"Me," Adrian said, losing his smile.
It was replaced with a frown that Victoria didn't appreciate at all. It was like the boy had gone to some form of training or something. The boy who had been in the house gave her the respect of a mother in law and now...now he just caught her hand, gripping it so tightly. She was now scared.
"Well, I'm still the son in law of this house," Adrian got closer to her. His face was almost touching hers. "Guess, what?" Adrian laughed softly, winking at her.
Victoria quickly got away from Adrian. She stood at a distance, her heart beating miles away. She had never felt like the way she did. She was even wondering if it was the same boy who she had thrown out or just an impostor.
"Get out,"
"I won't," Adrian said, gripping his bag. "I'm married to..."
"In case you've forgotten," Victoria chuckled. "Nicholas threw you out of his life."
Adrian slowly took a step before Victoria blocked him. He looked straight up at her and smiled teasingly. The woman was not that strong after all. She just pulled a stunt but if she had thought that Adrian would leave just like that then she had another thing coming. No matter what points she'd try to throw at him he'd remain firm.
"Of course," Adrian chuckled. "But he only did that because of a lie. He might hate me now..."
Victoria rolled her eyes in frustration and groaned. She had had it with him. He just has to leave the house before he makes her plan to become futile.
"I want you..."
But it was too late. Adrian had already entered the house and was rushing past her with expensive cologne. She could tell from that smell that Adrian's cologne was expensive. Where the hell did he get the money to buy...oh forget it.
Victoria quickly turned and followed behind but it was too late. All the family members had already seen him and it was clear their moods were ruined. She quickly stopped and watched as the family members blocked him. Seeing that, Victoria smiled brightly. It was clear the family members were not gonna allow him go inside either.
Now I have to stand and watch the drama, she thought, putting her hands on her hips. Now she was gonna watch the drama and throw him out of the house later.
"What do you want back here?" Adrian heard Noah's voice.
Adrian stopped in his tracks and stared at Noah. The guy's hands were trembling but he couldn't care less. He was not gonna allow the family members to render him weak. He was gonna be strong and that was a promise.
Adrian let go of his bag, stood straight and put one hand on his hip. He looked at Noah, eye to eye without any fear in his eyes. Then he decided to brighten his mood and smiled brightly, trying to see Noah's reaction.
Nicholas' heart was beating faster. His mood just went from bad to worse to...something that he couldn't describe. He couldn't believe anything that was happening. It was right in front of him but he couldn't understand a thing. He was somehow feeling happy and then sad at the same time.
A myriad of emotions took him over...pain being the least. Adrian just stood there looking confident and smiling. Nicholas wanted to feel his lips and his embrace but then again...he wanted to hurt him and make him pay for leading him on.
He felt a really terrible headache as his emotions were at war. There were some that were yearning for Adrian and others wanted to hurt him. Those things were really confusing him and...fuck, he felt his cock throb. What the fuck was happening to him?
"Didn't you hear me?" Noah snapped, furiously rushing to Adrian with his fists clenched and his anger totally burning.
"Wait!" Adrian said, moving his hand forward to stop Noah.
To his surprise, Noah stopped and vibrated in anger right where he stood. Adrian smirked, moving towards Noah with his hands moving from side to side.
"Everyone keeps asking me that question," Adrian smiled, stopping to keep some distance away from Noah. Yes, he had decided to be strong but the last thing he wanted was to have a bleeding nose.
"Well, I guess you know that none of us wants you here." Noah snapped, vibrating, sweating and trembling. "If you really..."
"It's not about who want me in the house," Adrian beamed.
He quickly moved his eyes to his husband who was sweating. He still had a smile but he was burning inside. He had only been out of the house for three days and Jake was already making his moves? None of that was gonna happen while he was in the house. He was gonna have to teach Jake to stay in his boundaries. He was gonna start with that disgusting hand on his husband's shoulder.
