023 Code Red
Sebastian’s POV
Adrian Dunn is bad news.
He inherited from his father not on the biggest newspaper in town, but also his cold dark view of the world from the last century. He believes not in law, but in power, not in just, but in narratives. He hurts people without a blink even if they are innocent, and he protects those whom he cares to no boundaries.
I stand against everything he is, and that puts his target on my back.
“What do you say, Seb–babe?” Adrian smirks. As if the bruises on his cheekbone doesn’t hurt at all.
Right. I also hate his lousy low–taste nicknames.
“Fuck off, Adrian,” Gabriel stands up, using his “intimidating walk on Adrian – pressing his bulky features
into his face.
Adrian is my height, but Gabriel is almost 6.5 feet, bulky no less. I think that’s why he got his bully name even though he doesn’t really do the bully shit. Also why Adrian calls him “bear“.
Adrian is not flinching-
“You don’t want to fight me, teddy bear,” Adrian doesn’t even put his icon fake smile on for Gabriel, “not
If that I wouldn’t enjoy beating the shit out of you, I have got something better planned for your dumb ass you don’t want your father’s pathetic business to go down for your stupidity…then sit.”
Gabriel grunts like an animal, almost pressing his face into Adrian’s. He knows better than to hit Adrian, because that guy CAN and will destroy the Fuller’s business if he wants to.
“Enough!” I push them apart, facing Adrian, “You are here for me, no? Then direct your attacks at me.”
“Still the same old narcissist, Sebastian,” Adrian snorts coldly, his smile vicious with anger hiding in there, “in case you might not notice, you are not the center of the world.”
* draining my patience. We believe in different things, but I have always thought it was out of petty petitive urges. What’s with his powder keg style today?
Because of our fight earlier? He keeps a secret intimate relationship with MY wife, and he is the one getting angry??? Did I miss something here?
“You wanted to come, IN MY PLACE, you even had the time to have a fight with me,” Adrian presses closer, looking into my eyes seriously all of a sudden, “So? Did you figure out what code red is yet?”
He really pisses me off.
I don’t like how he makes it sound like he is so close to Scar. He is not. If I know one thing about Scar, it’s that she loves me, truly. She wouldn’t have cheated on me. But that doesn’t mean that the image of her cheating that this guy is painting is any less annoying!
Am I hearing what I think I’m hearing?
“No, I don’t LIKE her,” Adrain lets out a cold snort, shaking his head slowly, “I, love, her. I love her enough to respect her decision to marry you five years ago, and I respect her decision to contact me today, even if it means she wants an affair inside a marriage. And if she does, it only means you are such a lousy husband that you forced one of the best people there is to cheat!”
