“This city has a beautiful, captivating sky,” Valerie remarked, her gaze fixed outside the glass wall of the restaurant at the full moon, standing in all its night glory over the clouds. Adonis watched her as she admired the captivating scenery of the night sky, taking up a spoon of his casserole dish into his mouth. They'd decided earlier during the day that they would have dinner at this restaurant; BAYLIE'S KITCHEN, it was called, when they were done for that day's tour as it was very close to the hotel and seemed to have good food varieties and ratings when Valerie had checked it up on the net. “You sound like where you came from didn’t have a beautiful night sky,” Adonis pointed out and she turned to gaze at him. “Occasionally,” she replied, taking up a piece of chips from the appetizer bowl set at the center of the table. She dipped it into ketchup before throwing it into her mouth.” I don’t get to see the moon all the time because the clouds covers it up, but since I came her

The next day, Valerie had to leave for work; the reason why she’d travelled down to this city, and Adonis insisted on driving her there, as she still did not seem to have a relaxed state of mind to drive. After dropping her off and promising to come back to drive her home later in the evening when she had closed from work, he parked at a corner blocks away from the company he'd dropped her off at and phoned Jesse immediately. When Jesse answered the phone call, he CHAPTER THIRTY THREE: POWER USAGEboomed with inquisitiveness through the phone.“Found anything?”The previous night, after he’d watched Valerie sleep, he had called Jesse to get him to figure out who those men were that had attacked them. Since Jesse was trustworthy enough to get information at a quicker pace, he assumed he would have found out something about them now.He needed to treat Oliver's fuck up, and punish the gang that had accepted to carry out his scheming plans.“Yes, your highness.” Jesse replied. His backgr

“We meet again, Oliver,” Adonis remarked, delightfully spiting Oliver by stating his name without a title. “Puny brat!” Oliver scoffed, his voice dripping with intense revulsion. “I'll punch you in the face one day again for being so disrespectful to your Prince and I swear you won’t like that day. “Oh yeah?” an unpredicted smug smile invaded Adonis' expression. “And I suppose I should await your failure just as your previous attack on me versa that amateur gang. You couldn’t even do so well in hiring someone better enough to get rid of me. Just is everything about you such a failure?”He knew the nerves he was desperately pricking in Oliver with his words. He was seething, almost like he would pounce on Adonis without warning, but he still maintained a balanced composure.“I wish…” Oliver drew threateningly close towards Adonis who was unhinged by the glare Oliver shot him, and his close proximity. “I had a gallon of acid I could pour down your god forsaken throat to keep you from

The atmosphere rocked with the symphony of a tango music as the massive hall swarmed with different people. Not one person looked below dignified, as they all portrayed one curtsey or the other in their expensive get-ups, some making merry, cheering wine and buzzing with hearty laughter in their conversation while others moved their bodies rhythmically as they danced in sync to the music as they awaited the starting of the main event. Valerie was immediately indulged with conversation the moment they stepped foot into the bubbling hall, looking like an angel descent in her white, feathery, knee-deep dress that accentuated her svelte bodyline. Adonis, well fitted in a tux with his hair properly fixed that it enhanced his manly features and made him more attractive, accompanied her by the side, their arms interlocked. As they walked and Valerie mingled with some people that she supposedly knew, Adonis tried keeping his thoughts in check, mostly against ending up being talked scornful

Adonis, certain it had been Jockey who’d pulled the stunt spoke up, though he knew without a doubt that defending himself would be nonbinding because the woman wasn’t ready to hear any sort of counter defense.“I'm sorry,” he stated apologetically to ease her riling, incessant behavior, but the woman wouldn’t still hear it. She blabbered non-stop and demanded that he be thrown out of the party. Valerie had to step in at that point.“Ma'am,” she called to the woman's attention. “Please stop making a fuss, he’s already apologized.”“I'm not going to let him off so easily for such act!” she rasped, prompting Valerie to up from her seat, dropping her utensils, and grip Adonis by the hand.“Once again ma’am, he said he’s sorry.” And without pausing to get a reply from the raging woman, or turning to observe the marveled gazes of everyone watching, she looked up at Adonis.“Let’s go,”Adonis couldn’t help but reason himself as an embarrassment as she pulled him with her out the dining hall.
