Regression - Second Chance At Life

Chapter 12: This Man

Ellie has never seen someone with such a good body in her whole life. She always thought that this type of body was only possible in movies and on social media through the magic of editing, but now one is right in front of her, and it looks exceptional.

She never thought she would have a desire for a body like this, but now that she sees it, she understands why some ladies go crazy over it.

”Letʼs get this over with...” she says and begins to take his measurement again.

Ellie stands close to Adam and runs the measurement tape across his body, causing her hands to graze his muscles multiple times, which enables her to feel both their softness and firmness.

After done taking measurements of his arms, legs, and waist, she has to take his chest measurements.

Standing so close that it almost looks like they are hugging, Ellie wraps her arms around Adam to encircle his chest with the measuring tape. Ellie finds herself almost resting her head against Adamʼs chest.

She can hear his strong heartbeat pumping and also feel his warmth radiating from his skin.

Mistakenly on instinct, she looks up and meets his eyes while in this vulnerable position, as Adam looks back down on her and gives her his charming smile.

With her arms around him, her face almost touching his chest, and that killer smile, all combined, cause Ellie to feel something she didnʼt expect to feel for any other man other than her boyfriend. Arousal.

Ellie turns red from embarrassment and quickly averts her gaze from Adam and finishes taking his measurements.

”We are done,” she says while still keeping her gaze away from him.

Adam notices the sudden shift in her behavior and smiles mischievously. He didnʼt expect his charm to be so great that it would make this angel like beauty.

”So I can start from tomorrow morning?” Adam asks.

”Yes, tomorrow 10 AM sharp,” Ellie says finally meeting his gaze as she is very serious about it. She doesnʼt want any slackers working in her restaurant.

”I will be on time... Also, one more thing,” Adam speaks up.

”What?” Ellie asks.

”I still donʼt know your name,” Adam says while keeping his smile.

”Oh... Itʼs Ellie,” Ellie introduces herself.

”Ellie, beautiful name. See you tomorrow, boss,” Adam says, giving her a playful salute before walking away.

ʼGetting the job was easy,ʼ Adam thinks, but he also knows that his current looks must have played a huge factor in getting him this job, as all of this was too easy. He is sure that Ellie must have had some standards.

And his assumption is not wrong. Ellie could have asked for a resume, but when she saw how handsome Adam was, she decided to take a chance on him because she knew that a good-looking staff member would benefit the restaurantʼs image, and a good-looking staff is also needed to continue with the theme of her restaurant.

People describe art with many adjectives, but at its core, Art should be beautiful, which makes people admire it more, and the people Ellie wants to work in her restaurant should be good-looking people.

Though itʼs a very superficial way of hiring, Ellie has it all planned out in her head, and she is not going to change it.

Adam walks back to his car and drives away.

___________________

Itʼs 4:15 PM and Adam is back at his house.

He drives his car into his driveway when he sees another car parked right outside his house.

Adam looks at the car and wonders whose it belongs to. The car looks good, a convertible, and it should cost a lot to an average man.

Though nothing compared to what Adam is driving, but still respectable if you managed to buy one of these.

Adam parks his car to the side and walks into the house. Pushing open the door, he hears a manʼs voice coming from the living room, and for some reason, Adam finds this voice very familiar, but he canʼt remember who it belongs to.

He walks into the living room and sees a man, about 30 years old, in a fancy black suit sitting on the couch, chatting up his stepmother.

As Adam sees the manʼs face, it finally strikes him.

The man sitting on the couch is the same man who used to fuck his step mother while his father was away. This is the same man his father handed over his car to.

How could Adam forget this man? If there is someone he hated as much as his stepmother, it is this man.

This is the same man who, after his fatherʼs death, took over his company; this is the same man who humiliated him while standing beside his stepmother after his fatherʼs death, laughing at Adamʼs face for being a loser.

As all the memories that Adam had suppressed about this man comes back to him, Adam feels an intense desire to charge at this man and fuck him up for good.

But this new Adam is not impulsive. He knows how to control his anger.

He remembers this manʼs name. Itʼs Brandon.

Brandon used to work for his fatherʼs company. He started as a promising employee and within a few years climbed up the rankings, and after his fatherʼs death, became the CEO after the members of the board voted for him to lead the company.

Adam looks at Brandon chatting up his stepmother and realizes something. Brandon and Julia have just met, but with the way they are talking to each other, they both clearly harbor attraction for each other.

Then Adam recalls the past. Julia still hasnʼt cheated on his father yet with Brandon, but she will soon, as Brandon is a snake. He will manage to make his way between Juliaʼs legs with his charm and sweet talk.

He will find excuses to come visit Julia when his father is at work and soon dig his fangs into her, and with Julia being a gold digger and a slut, she wonʼt put up much resistance, either.

But now that Adam is here, and since he has changed. He is not going to let that happen ever again. In fact, he is going to destroy Brandon for messing with him in the past.

”Who are you?” Adam asks, grabbing Brandonʼs and Juliaʼs attention.

They both turn around and see Adam.

Julia frowns, hearing Adam. It is not likely of Adam to ever care about guests. He usually just ignores them and goes to his room.

Brandon sees Adam and is surprised as Adam looks nothing like how Jack described him.

Jack told him how his son was a disappointment, but the way Adam carries himself, Brandon can tell that Adam is confident and very masculine in nature, someone whoʼs not so easily influenced by others.

What Brandon doesnʼt know is that this aura around Adam was built after living most of his life in the dumps and not giving a shit about society.

”Hello, my nameʼs Brandon, and I work for your father,” Brandon says, getting up from the couch and extending his hand to Adam.

Adam looks at his hand and then back at Brandon before extending his hand as well.

Brandon smiles and grabs Adamʼs hand for a firm shake. As he does this, Adam notices Brandom applying a lot of pressure on his hand.

Brandon is trying to assert his dominance, test Adam, and see his reaction.

As he does this, Adam remembers the first time he met Brandon in the past. He did the same thing and squeezed his hand very tightly, and that to in front of his father, and it hurt a lot, so when he yelled in pain, his father was disappointed in him once again for not being able to handle a firm handshake.

But this time itʼs different.

Adam retaliates. He squeezes back, and with much more force.

The smile on Brandonʼs face immediately disappears, his eyes widen, and pain completely takes over. He feels as if his hands are about to be crushed. He immediately pulls his hand back.

Seeing the reaction on his face, Adam lets go at the same time. He didnʼt expect his own strength to be so high.

”Nice to meet you too, nameʼs Adam,” Adam says.

Brandon smiles back at Adam while tightly clenching his hand. ʼMother fucker! The kid almost broke my hand. What does this fucker eat? Well, itʼs my fault for testing him,ʼ Brandon thinks.

Julia watches this interaction, but doesnʼt notice the exchange of strength between Brandon and Adam. She only notices Brandon pulling away from the handshake as Brandonʼs back is in the way.

But as she looks at both of them together. She sees just how inferior Brandon is to Adam, even in the way they both carry themselves. Adam looks much more masculine and authoritative in front of Brandon, so the initial attraction she had for Brandon slowly starts to fade a little.

”Well, I came to fetch some documents for your father. I didnʼt expect I get to meet both his family members, you and your lovely mother,” Brandon says.

”Stepmother!” Adam checks him.

Brandon pauses as he sees Adam staring him down. ”Stepmother, yes, of course, well, I got what I came for, so I will take my leave,” Brandon says and leaves.

Adam doesnʼt say anything and just watches. Julia, too, doesnʼt say much and watches Brandon leave.

She then looks at Adam, annoyed. Before he barged in, she was having a good time talking to that handsome man, but Adam ruined it.

”What was that?” Julia questions.

”What was what?” Adam questions back.

Julia frowns, but as her gaze meets the intensity coming from Adam, she decides to back off.

She doesnʼt know what is going on with Adam, but itʼs making her a little uncomfortable.

”Iʼm going back to my room,” she says and leaves.

Adam watches Juliaʼs sexy hips sway left and right as she takes her leave. ʼYou will be mine,ʼ Adam makes a statement that he is going to fulfill
