Adrian's pov:

I never understand those kind of people who said that it hurts them to see other people in pain. I used to think that how stupid it was, like why would others pain affects you. But seeing her like this was doing something inside my chest, I felt like someone was trying to claw my heart out of my body. But why was it happening , it's not like I lov- no no no don't go there, I will not fall in love with anyone. Not even her.

I scooted towards her wrapped my and whispered to her, "Hey I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't take it to your heart. I promise I will not say anything like this again. Just don't cry."

She calmed down in few minutes and then looked at me, her eyes and nose was red due to crying, then she said in a very low voice.

"You didn't said anything wrong, I know it's really hard to trust him. But still,..... He's my father and for once in my life I want to him a chance to mend our relationship as father and a daughter." She said

"Then why were you crying?" I asked her.

She chuckled in embarrassment and said,

"I just got overwhelmed. Nothing else."

And got confused. Why would she gets overwhelmed.

"Why?" I asked.

"No one has ever cared for me or Consoled me whenever I have cried in past. But you did. So I felt like crying because it felt good." She said in a low voice

"I will never give you any reason for crying, I promise you that." I told her looking into her eyes. And then I pulled her towards me so she was sitting in my lap.

As soon as our eyes met, my breath stuck in my lungs. She was looking at me with wide eyes and parted lips which were looking so fucking inviting to me. Then my eyes moved to hers and all I wanted to do was looking into those beautiful orbs for eternity. Then some rogue strands were covering the side of her face seeing this my hand reached involuntary towards her face and tucked them behind her ears. As soon as my hand touched her a jolt of electricity ran throughout my body and her sitting on my lap was not helping me. I leaned towards her, and she closed her eyes- then suddenly my phone rang and she got up and ran upstairs. I don't know but for some unknown reason I felt frustrated about the fact that my phone rang.

Hazel's pov:

I closed the door and leaned back at the door, what just had happened. He was about to kiss me? What if that phone call had not interrupted us?. Aaaaaahhhhhhh.... Why am I feeling so hot all of a sudden. Oh my God, what is happening.

I took some deep breaths to calm my heart which was about to burst out of my chest. I swear my heart has never beated this fast.

After some time I heard a knock on my door. Amd he came inside, as soon as I saw him my heart started to beat faster again.

"Um... I have to attend a charity event tonight, and I want you to come with me." He said.

"Is it important for me to attend this event." I asked as I was not able to believe that he wants me to come with him to a public event willingly. I know he is very famous and rich, I know that his company is the number one company in the world. In these 6 months, we have never made a public appearance, therefore I doubt that anyone would know that he got married.

"Yes, it is." He said.

That's what I thought, if it was not important or necessary for him to go with someone he would have never asked me. I don't know why but I felt a pang in my chest thinking about this.

"Now, I want you to get ready as soon as you can we are going to get you a new dress for the event." He said and left.

I went to the closest and took out a baby blue sundress, after changing into the dress I kept my hair open I put on them slippers and went down stairs where I saw him busy on his cell phone while sitting on the couch. He was wearing a black shirt with grey formal pants and a silver Rolex. I wonder I can someone look so perfect every single time. Ughhhh.....Why am I thinking like this.

He looked up from his phone when he heard my footsteps. He looked at me and got up from the couch and said, " you're ready. Let's go."

I felt kind of disappointed I don't know why I feel that way, but I thought somewhere in the back of  my mind that maybe....... maybe he will give me a compliment. I took a sigh and moved towards the door.

I went and sat in the front seat of the car. I was looking outside of the car windows as this was the first time I stepped out of the mansion in the last 6 months. The drive was silent until he decided to break it, he said, " I see that you are enjoying the view." I turned my head to look at him and he was looking on the road but as soon as he felt that I have turned around he looked at me for a second then again focused on the road.

"Yes, this is the first time I stepped out of the mansion since  the wedding, if we don't count visiting to the hospital." I replied to him honestly.

As soon as I finished my sentence he looked at me with wide eyes and said, "What? Really?"

"Yes, there was never a need for me to go outside and I don't know my way around the area of the mansion clearly as I visited here only twice." I said.

"And what about when you needed things?" He asked me seriously.

"There was nothing that I needed, other than some medicines. Whenever I needed some medicines I always asked brother Nick." I told him. Nick is a good person since Steph moved to New York, he used to ask me about my well being whenever he visited to take things for Adrian.

"What medicine?" He asked again.

"Oh, I get sick real quick, so most of the time it was for either fever or headache. Nothing serious." I told him.

I was looking at him when  he pulled the brakes and said "We're here."
