Adair swiftly looked towards a direction, but they were only filled with unfamiliar faces. He took his eyes off seconds later and narrowed it at Noah. "I understand if Adair isn't indebted to help grandmother, but as her granddaughter, I expected more from you, Collette!" Alice hissed from the side. Collette openly glared at her, and Alice, who wasn't used to being glared at, squirmed. She had forgotten who Collette was before she got married to Adair. She wasn't someone just anybody could push around or talk down on. But since she married Adair, her status plummeted and she couldn't hold up her head high any longer. "How many times do I have to remind you I'm the older one? You should watch the way you talk around me." Collette warned. "You suddenly remember who the elder one is simply because she's telling the truth? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Trevor butted in, coming to her younger sister's rescue. This time, he got glared at by Adair. The icy gaze made him squirm as wel

Dame's EnterprisesThat evening, Iris worked late and only left the building hours after every other staff including the company's security had gone home. She was downhearted. Someone was attacking all the companies and subsidiaries she owned. After trying to track down who the person was, she was led back to Tucker. "Goodness. Why did he have to come back all of a sudden?" She hissed when she got to her car. Resting on it, she closed her eyes for a couple of seconds. "I brought you coffee." She heard someone say and still with her eyes closed, she reached out to take the coffee. Only when she took the first sip from the cup did she discover the voice belonged to someone she detested. Swiftly, her eyes flew open. They landed on the middle-aged man before her who had a wide grin on his face. "You've become reality beautiful." Sinclair chuckled, taking a sip from the coffee in his hand. Iris glanced at the coffee, her grip on it tightening. The hot beverage spilled and fell on he

"How does he have it?" Adair asked with his back turned to Martha. "If I knew, I wouldn't be here talking to you." Martha scoffed. Adair scratched the tip of his nose for a second before exhaling, "Why are telling me this? Isn't it your wish that I die?" He heard Martha's footsteps, before he saw her standing in front of him, gazing up to meet his eyes. "I hate the fact I was the one who birthed you, Adair, but I promised to kill you with my barehands so the thought of someone scheming to do so behind my back, doesn't sit well with me." Adair scoffed and leaned to her height, "Are you saying you don't care if I die, you're only concerned because you want to be the one who kills me?" "Precisely." Martha nodded with a straight face. Adair chuckled and straightened up again, "Then go after him and get the stake from him. Isn't he your partner? The one who turned you and your beloved son into a vampire." He attempted to walk past her when her next words stopped him, "Tucker doesn'

In a bar, a lonely figure sat by himself, drowning glass after glass of beer. Suddenly, someone else walked up to him and took the empty seat beside him. Trevor looks up with heavy eyelids and couldn't help smiling bitterly when he saw Adair. “You came to mock me, didn't you?” “I'm afraid I have better things to do with my time.” Adair retorted with a small smile. “Oh, that's true. How could I forget you're no longer the wretched Adair I knew? You're now the head of a conglomerate. While I, the one who often mocked you, fell right to rock bottom.” Trevor said drunkenly, illustrating the fall with his fingers in a drunken manner. He shook his head in pain and reached out to take his glass. However, Adair beat him to it, taking both the glass and the bottle of beer out of Trevor's reach. Trevor exhaled tiredly. “If you didn't come to mock me, then what do you want? Why are you here?” “Noah took over the Pitt family unlike whom the publicly expected— Trevor Pitt, the first grand

Martha's Penthouse “What do you intend to do when you meet with Adair?” Martha asked when Kelvin told her of what happened. Tucker grabbed his black leather jacket and put it on before turning to her. “Does it matter? You should stay home and hope that I'm successful in what I plan to do.” “What do you plan to do?” Martha still asked, stopping him by stepping in his way. The man exhaled heavily, feeling his anger rising, “I told you you don't have to worry about it. You should just stay as my accomplice and help me out when I need your help, okay?”“Tucker…" “If push comes to shove, Adair won't kill you. He won't dare kill you because you turned his sister into a vampire, and she'll die if you do. Now, I don't know if you did it on purpose. But for whatever reason you had in mind for doing it, you should have it in mind, Adair will make sure you stay alive for a pretty long time. As for me, I have to kill him when I have the opportunity, or he'd kill me.” Tucker uttered conclusiv
