*Love sucks I just can't deal with the insecurities, jealousy and pain it brings*
~•~
Adria and Asachi's relationship has been on the line since the out burst, she barely spoke to him and even when they do she ensure to keep it short and simple.
Today Lee and Adria was having dinner with lei and his wife, it was a bit akward but they were adults and had to act it, after breakfast lei's wife took adria to the garden at lei's house to discuss
"So you really like Lee hmm." she said with a monitoring eyes, she doesn't like adria, she had already befriended Kai before adria's arrival, to her adria was an opportunist and she disliked her.
"He's an amazing person and I don't like him." she smiled calmly which made the pregnant lady shiver with her answer.
"Y... your using him then."
Adria smirked "I know you don't like me much but for you to think this way on the first meeting this is a real turn off, I don't like Lee, I feel something more than mere like."
"Then you love him."
"Can't put that tag yet we are just trying to figure out if it works out or not."
"You might think I hate you or bore bad wishes for you but I'm trying to help, this relationship won't flourish, we Asians are used to marrying ourselves, we eat different things which you won't be able to cook or which you might not like, we think differently from others, we have cultures that are different from yours and you might not know but every first son of the family is not allowed to marry an outsider, in other to foster the asain community your relationship might be sweet and lot of fun now but with time when Lee has had enough he'll surely begin to request those things you are unable to do and then your relationship becomes sour. I think you need to sit down and rethink."
Adria stared at the lady blankly as she gave no emotional expression, it seems these people aren't really into the idea of there friend marrying an outsider but we'll she wasn't going to marry him was she? she thought to herself. "I'll think about it thanks for your advice I really do appreciate." Adria understood few things the lady was trying to pass to her the differences in there culture and belief can be an issue but relationships are based on adjustments and understanding if she and Lee would separate from each other because of a mere food or thought then he wasn't truthful in all he said, adria took a deep breath and excused herself, she really didn't want to be around these negative people, Lee who observed adria's uneasiness decided for them to leave.
They got to the car and began to drive home the ride was very quiet as adria stared at the window of the car staring at her, Lee asked "Are you ok."
"huh yes yes am ok."
"are you sure?."
"Mhmm."
"What did she say to you?."
"who?."
"Lei's wife."
"Oh nothing, she was just asking how I feel about you."
"That's all?."
"Hmm."
"Well I don't want to push you but you know hiding things won't help in a growing relationship."
"Lee why didn't you tell me you are unable to engage another culture apart from yours?."
"What do mean?."
"Every first son is not allowed to marry someone who isn't asain."
"Where did you get that, is that what she said?."
"Is it true or false Lee." Adria said as she stared straight at him, Lee paused for a while knowing this would lead to a big fight "Yes."
"And you speak of hiding things huh?."
"But I'm not the first son Adria."
"Bullshit!." adria fummed.
"Adria calm down it's not a big deal."
"It fucking is? do I look like I want to waste my life on a meaningless flings."
"How can you say what we share is a meaningless fling?."
"It is!."
"What is wrong with you Adria."
"What's wrong is you, you are a fucking liar."
"Adria! your not the only person who got to hear a bad advise today, so why are you taking it so personal huh? i was also told you won't respect or consider our culture or respect me or even be able to take care of the home and so much more but that's all bullshit this is the 21st century adria and all those doesn't matter."
"Oh please Lee, I don't want to fight."
"But you already started it so let's resolve it."
"There's nothing to resolve Lee."
"Adria."
"What about kai?."
"Adria!." he looked at her in surprise "are you seriously going to bring up that topic? are you being serious?."
"What what do you expect me to say Lee, I am fucking tired and I'm trying to hold onto you, something I wouldn't even consider on a normal day but everyone seem against it your grandma, your friends, ash...."
"No it not about the rest Adria is about Asachi, you are saying all this because you know you could fall back to Asachi." he said as he stopped the car in anger.
Adria stared at him in anger, why would he even say such a thing, for him to say this it means he is doubting her feelings "so what, at least he didn't judge you like your friend did to me I know non of them like me Lee, I fucking do and even if you try to conceal it with lies, I'm not stupid....*she took a breath*..... I don't know nothing about your past and you wouldn't open up, you won't let me see your body or touch you the way I want, you won't speak to me or get treatment for your nightmares, Lee I am tired!."
"Adria." this time he was calm.
"No! where's Akios dad huh? were is his dad? Why did you kill min and why did you kill that guy in the garage that day!." realizing what she said she stopped.
"What guy adria.". Lee frowned trying to put what she said together, adria felt goosebumps as she was scared and pissed at the same time immediately Lee lend to grab her, she pushed Lee who was trying to reach out to her, opening the car she stepped out and walked out.
"She was the one." Lee said in realization, he pulled his hair and screamed in frustration, he's dating someone who was a witness to his crime, he was in love with with urrgh how frustrating, he tried driving to get to her but couldn't Adria made her way to a street immediately Lee car cornered her "Adria!."
"Leave me the f alone."
"Get into the car adria I don't want to get pissed."
"Fuck off." she said as she ran towards a petroleum station and tried to make a turn when she saw Lee's car coming towards her direction, she was scared that Lee was angry at her revelation, she really should have kept her mouth shut, sighing in frustration she gave up running as he would catch her either ways, when Lee's car was almost close, he stepped out of the car and was ready to chase her down but before he could get to her, adria heard a honk behind her turning she saw a car with an open door without thinking she entered the car just to realize it was her shadow guard who had block the part with his car without waiting adria entered and they drove off, what a relief she thought to herself he just saved her.
Lee felt frustrated he didn't know what to do, he didn't even understand why he overreacted like that and why he scared her like that, she might never come around but one thing was for sure he wasn't going to let her go, no one else can have her, she's his, he strolled to his car and began tracing there car
****back at adria's car
Due to fact adria was feeling scared and tired she tried to get away from Lee but luckily her bodyguard saved her, they lost him.
"ma'am are you ok?." he said as he gave a quick glance before turning back to the road.
"I'm fine just drive." adria said as she placed her hand on her face.
"Sorry I came late."
"No u didn't." she paused "when did you realize something was wrong?."
"When you stepped out of the car but I was unable to get to you because his car was at front."
"ok." the car became silent as the driver tried to lose lee.
Adria watched out the window as she felt really bad and overwhelmed, she is being stupid, she's making silly mistake and she just seems to get entangled in messed up situations, she really got the thought that happiness was finally here but these few weeks with Lee has been nothing but secrets she wasn't allowed in to the third floor at his home, he didn't let her touch his tattoos, even when he was with her he seemed distant, she's tired of this shitty story of her's maybe this was karma for Ryan.
After few minutes adria was interrupted from her thought by her guard "ma'am he's trailing us again."
"Who?." adria turned to look and saw Lee's car
"loose him." she said as she turned to the front.
"Alright...but he surely knows your going home and he'll definitely come there."
"Let's go to Ash place."
"Alright."
******** Lee who lost track of Adria decided to drive straight to her home when he got there, he was told by Yan Chen that adria wasn't there but he proceeded to searched for her but didn't find her, when he couldn't find her, the thought of her going to Asachi's home got to him he got angry and sent her a text.
Lee<3: You've really concluded everything in your head right, just do me the last favor and ask that asshole why I'm this way, you think he's a saint right he's the reason am like this, maybe knowing you was also a big mistake, have fun chasing him maybe he's the one for you.
Lee stared at his text and thought to himself he was never going to let her go even if it meant killing that asshole named Asachi.
Adria who hadn't gotten to Asachi's place yet heard a beep and turned her phone just to see a text from Lee, opening it she read it inside her head, when she was done she kept a straight face and looked outside her window as anger burnt through her, she really needs to leave this country and she really meant it this time this was fucking bullshit, the people around her just seemed to be hiding something or the other she looked at the message again and thought to herself 'just when I thought we were falling in love.'
