The crowd gasped in shock at the utterance of the taxi man. The Raine family was the number one family in their province and country at large, they had more money than all of the rich men combined and were highly feared, respected and revered. To be associated with them, was like being associated with a god. It was no news that they had been searching for their legal heir for a while, they had released the news to the press, and when they finally found him a few years later, they informed the media but didn't disclose the heir's personality or person. Murmuring further broke out amongst them, as they all began to wonder who the heir was, and if it might have been the poor looking man whom they had previously harrassed and insulted, The majority of them didn't think it was possible, maybe the heir had been in the car not wanting to come out. What didn't add up for them, was Adam's association and involvement with such a high and privileged family. "What's the name on the card? Read

Realising he hadn't answered Raul, he turned from the window and faced Raul"We would do it, but at least not yet. I'll have a word with my grandfather concerning that" Raul nodded his head, replying"Your wish is my command Sir." opening his eyes in shock, he opened the compartment between them in the car, and rifled through it, bringing out a packaged box. Smiling, he stretched the box towards Adam and nudged his head for Adam to take it. "I almost forgot Young Master, and I'm sorry about that. Your grandfather said to give you this, it's a phone. He didn't like that you had to use someone else's phone to make a call, and I'm quite sure he wouldn't like to know that you were embarrassed by the same person. He would like for you to start using this immediately, all the numbers you'd need are right in there, including mine and his Sir" Adam was yet to take the package off his hands, Raul smiled yet again and nodded his head, indicating for him to take it. "It's yours Young Master, e

Without hesitating, he knocked on the chipped door as he awaited a response. Not hearing anything, he knocked once again, a bit louder this time around. He awaited albeit patiently as he began to hear the shuffling of footsteps from the house, and couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face in anticipation of seeing either his parents or siblings whom he hadn't seen in a long time. Keys turned in the keyhole, and Adam impatiently shifted from foot to foot, after what seemed like years, though it was a few minutes the door opened and Adam sighed in relief and utter pain at the sight of his mother, at a hair breath, he flung the hat away and gazed at his mother with eyes of sadness and happiness. She had gotten a lot older from the last time he had seen her, her hair had more streaks of grey in it and was thinning out, she looked more frail and her eyes looked sunken in, with a large amount of wrinkles on her face, he couldn't believe it was his mother before him. His heart

Both mother and son stared at each other, one with a questioning look, and the other with a smile as he stretched his hands. Knowing how determined his mother could be, he dragged her closer with his other hand. "Mama, I'll tell you everything soon, just know that this money was obtained legally and lawfully. I wouldn't do anything that would jeopardise my freedom. Something I've yearned for years after being wrongly incarcerated, trust me Mama" Adam told his mother reassuringly, his eyes shone bright and crinkled at the corner. He more than understood her fears, and so he wasn't offended, it was no news that he had been poor before leaving for prison, and his account barred. Julia stared at her son, although she knew she'd raised a good man, she was still curious as to the origin of the money. "That money in your hand can buy us foodstuffs that'll last more than six months Adam! I hope you realise this, and understand my fears and inhibitions. In all my life, I've been yet to see s

Adam flinched, his hands leaving his father's warm hands, as he stared into space. Although his father's voice had been low, he heard clearly "Willliaamms? William Bates did this?" he quietly asked no one in particular. Williams wasn't entirely surprised, he knew the kind of dirty and tricky person Williams was, but whatever hostility there was, was between them both, he didn't think it extended to his family. "He will pay!" fist once again clenched, teeth grating, and veins bulging Adam declared. Hector cleared his throat, turning himself in his seat to face a standing Adam who currently had his back turned on him, Adam didn't want his father seeing his anger and hurt. "Not only Williams my son, Madame Cecil as well I overheard her voice on the phone. The guy had put the phone on speaker causing me to hear the conversation, it was as if they wanted me to hear it all" As his father spoke, his words sent chills down Adam's spine To hurt him was one thing, to hurt and humiliat
