Roselia stood up with a bright smile."Zade! You're really here. They were right about you after all. You do stay here," her excitement was met with cold indifference. "What are you doing here?" Zade asked. Adera got to the stairs, expecting to see them in a tight embrace or chatting like old friends at least, but instead, she met a stare-down contest. "I came to say hi. I was in town with Flynn so I thought I should stop by. You don't seem too happy to see me," Roselia chuckled. "Who the fuck is Flynn and what does he have to do with your visit?" Zade scoffed. "Oh, he's my boyfriend. Flynn Skater, the famous architect, you should know him right?" Roselia explained with an air of pride.Zade shot up a brow, "So?""So I heard from a couple of people that you were in town," she approached him and hugged him. "I see you bagged another millionaire, now they think you're some billionaire son. Zade Delamonte? What a joke!" When Adera saw his fists clench, she knew something was wrong.

When Tyrone barged into Zade's mansion the second time, Adera was playing video games with Zade. "Am I interrupting something?" Tyrone asked although he knew the obvious answer to the question. "How did you get past the guards?" Adera asked without bothering to hide her annoyance. Tyrone proceeded in and relaxed on the sofa."You play video games?" He asked Adera but her gaze remained the same. Zade got off the floor, dropping his controller on her lap."I heard you paid a visit while I was away. I hope it was just because you wanted to l LoL have lunch," he said, taking a seat next to him.Tyrone glanced at Adera then smiled, "Of course, it was just lunch.""So what do I owe this visit?" Zade asked indifferently."We had a business deal with some Russians. They're ready to pay two hundred million dollars for a truck of weapons," Tyrone informed him."Ummm… okay. How does any of that concern me? I'm not an arms dealer so what am I supposed to do with this information?" Zade asked."

Zade didn’t know what to do about the current situation. A lot of things had gone south and he had a feeling it wasn’t even the end of it. His cousin had started an unnecessary fight and Andreas wasn’t ready to back down. Taking a peek from behind the car where he hid, he realized Tyrone actually had an edge over the Russians. He contemplated going over to his cousin’s side or remaining in his hiding spot. With careful consideration of both choices, he decided to stay put. Tyrone was obviously going to turn on him the moment Andreas was out of the way. It was better to find a way to cleave the scene completely instead of waiting for his psycho cousin to end him himself. Just as he raised his head, a bullet flew above his head by a few inches. He quickly dropped to the floor, his heart pounding heavily against his chest in an adrenaline rush. At the second peek, he realized that the tables had turned in a really nasty way. More cars were arriving and sadly none of them were Tyrone’

As soon as Zade stepped into the house, he was confronted by Helen. "Zade? You're back? Where is Tyrone?" Helen asked him. Zade's eyes raked through her like he wasn't expecting the question. He'd known Helen for a long time so he wasn't surprised by her questions. She loved Tyrone to a fault and even though he treated her like she was worthless, she still cared about him. "I don't know," Zade replied quietly. He attempted to step in but Helen blocked his path. "Where is Adera?" "She stepped out to get some milk. I… you were with Ty, weren't you? If you know where he is…" her voice cracked, "...or what happened to her, please let me know. I beg of you." Zade gave her a long look. There was no way he could tell her about Tyrone's business. "I already told you, Helen. Indeed, we were together but we went our separate ways. I have no idea where he is or what happened to him," Zade told her. Her eyes glistened with tears. "Are you telling me the truth? You really don't know wh

"Tell me the truth, Dera. Do you think Zade is lying to me?" Helen asked Adera. "Uhm… lying about what?" Adera asked. "About Tyrone's whereabouts. He said he didn't know where Ty was but they were together, at least that's what they told us. How can he suddenly be back without his cousin? Don't you think it is a little strange?" Helen explained. Adera didn't know what to say. It was an obvious lie. No way Zade wouldn't know about Ty's whereabouts. Though she felt that the tables might have turned somehow. Maybe Ty was the one supposed to return, claiming he had no clue about Zade's whereabouts. Then she would be the one asking the same questions as Helen now. "You know Zade cares about you, very much. If he knew where Ty was, he would have definitely told you. Maybe he doesn't really know," Adera lied. "You're right. Zade cares about me a lot, which is the more reason he wouldn't tell me about Tyrone even if he knew where he was," Helen huffed. "I don't understand," Adera mutter
