CHAPTER 3

Adriana was finding it harder and harder to be around The Sharps. It was daunting. Stephanie hated her, Paul wanted to fuck her and she was kind of fallen for Andy... She didn't know how that happened but it did.

She was taken by him. She was just forever thinking about him. It was stupid, like Stephanie said, she was naught but the help. She would steer clear.

But having Paul want her attention... And Andy leaving her to deal with it... That was not okay.

Andy wasn't fucking around when he said that Paul would do his utmost best to get her to want him. He was one charming man that was for sure. He stopped her working most of the day forcing her to sit outside with him. Or go for walks with him.

Adriana was extremely uneasy. "Mr Sharps..."

"Paul..." He wanted her to call him Paul... Fuck.

"I am not comfortable with this. I am not a whore... I... You are married and... I told you already, I'm in love with your son." She wasn't in love with Andy, but she was definitely feeling things for him. Even if the asshole didn't see it or reciprocate it.

"And I told you already, my marriage is not your concern. My wife knows what I am about. We have an agreement. She lives this life, gets whatever her heart desires and I do my thing."

"But I don't want this... I'm sorry..."

"Come now... I haven't even tried to make you want it." Oh god.

It was hell on earth. She was now to join them for dinner. Adriana wanted to die. It was only the three of them. She wanted nothing to do with any of them. She just wanted to go home.

Even Carlos wasn't that bad... Maybe wasn't that bad.

"I can't understand you Paul... What will the children say when they find her sitting here with us?" Stephanie snapped one night at the dinner table.

"Children?"

"Your sons."

"My adult boys... Will know to keep their traps shut."

Adriana wouldn't open her mouth. She sat there quietly wanting this to end already.

She did her best to quit another few times. Paul would stop her. "You're not going anywhere." She wasn't sure if that was a threat or not. In this family, you would be stupid to think otherwise.

And the gifts came... He brought her a necklace... Worth so much money... And not only did he buy it for her, he put it around her neck... No...

"I... I can't accept it." She said shaking her head. "Thank you but no..." She came to take it off but he grabbed her hands. He kissed them.

"You will accept it." He was one good looking man. Very charming and very sure about himself.

Adriana shook her head and moved away from him.

"Please stop. I will never be what you want. Ever. I will not change my mind... I want to leave. You are making me very uncomfortable."

Paul did not look happy about that. "Again, you will not be going anywhere." He said walking away. He seemed agitated.

"I want to leave. I'm not doing this!" She snapped about to lose her head. "I want to go."

"So go. Go on then." He smiled when he said that. She had no means of leaving. None. Raul was given strict orders not to drive her anywhere.
