Every head snapped in his direction and they gaped at him,“And who is your greatest enemy?” Cecil asked, acting surprised and she leaned back into her seat to stare at Williams a little closely. He took his swell time, looking them in the faces before he answered, smirking as he did,“Adam Sanders,” He finally said with a resounding baritone as everyone stared at him with a glare.“Can you all stop with the planning and plotting already?” Logan asked, he was tired of them always planning and plotting, and ending up failing woefully,“We are not done cleaning up one mess, we can’t be dragging ourselves into another one.” He said and looked away from all of them.Williams stared at his brother-in-law with flushed skin; at that moment, he felt like breaking his jaw, making sure that the bastard lost a tooth or more, but he sat back on his seat and blessed Logan with a hard glare; the glare was message enough.“Shut up all of you!” Cecil thundered immediately; she was fed up with their

Leila watched as Evelyn struggled to control her emotions and her tears and her efforts were all in vain, she stood up from her seat and walked toward her, pulling her in for a hug,She knew there were so many things that were going on in her mind that she needed to talk about.“It is okay Evelyn.” She said to her softly patting her on the back gently,g“I know it is not easy.” She said to her and picked up a tissue from the table and handed it over to Evelyn to wipe her tears. She led Evelyn to have her seat on the chair and sat beside her. She knew whatever Evelyn was going through, she could relate to it.“If you need to talk, I’m such a good listener.” She said softly, placing an arm around her shoulder gently.Evelyn nodded her head and blew her nose into the tissue. She had not had someone to speak to in a very long time. She had been in the house minding Ariel since Adam rescued her. She knew that now was the right time for her to speak up and Leila was a very good option for h

Raul scratched at his temple and slightly darted his eyes at Adrian who still hadn't said anything, noticing his master's friend wasn't going to be of help, he cleared his throat and responded,“Uhmm, he’s in the basement… I mean, the office.” He said immediately and corrected himself swiftly,“What did you mean basement?” Leila asked immediately as she began to notice the bruises all over his face and hands.“What basement, Raul?” She asked him curiously, stood up and began walking towards him,“At the office.” Raul replied almost silently and at that moment, he realised that he let out a little more information than necessary, and knew he had to convince her in some way,Leila's gaze remained on Raul as she ran her eyes over his body suspiciously, “Why do you have bruises all over you?” She asked him and moved closer to him. “Why do you look like you were in a fight?” She threw another question at him while glaring at him, “No…nothing Ma’am.” He responded, trying to keep a strai

Cecil stood with her mouth agape, and her eyes bewildered; she was not used to Louisa challenging her and was surprised. She felt like shutting her up with a slap but as soon as she broke into tears and fell to her knees, her heart stopped for a moment and she stared at her daughter,“What happened in there, Louisa?” Her brother asked calmly, interrupting her loud sobs as he began to walk closer to her.“He…he… strangled me,” Louisa replied with a shaky voice amidst her tears, “He almost killed me.” She said in her loud voice and held onto her aching throat that was already red. They could see his handprint on her neck,“That son of a bitch.” Logan exclaimed with flaring nostrils, almost wanting to barge into Williams's room; he clenched his fists as he watched Louisa cry out Loud in pain.He knew she was weak but this time, he could see that she had had enough and could not take it anymore, hence her blowouts,Logan knew Williams must have gone far this time, considering how erra

Adam was lying on the bed, staring at the bookshelves in the room. He hated being bedridden, but he knew he did not have a choice; he didn’t mind getting out of there, but he knew the old man would be against that, and he didn’t want to go against Old Man Thompson. Immediately, the door swung open, he turned around immediately as he felt the footsteps running fast towards his bed.“Daddy.”Ariel screamed out loud as she ran towards her dad’s bed, Adam got out of the bed immediately as he saw his daughter approaching. He spread out his arms widely to receive her for a warm hug.“I’ve missed you, daddy.” Ariel joyously declared as she sunk into her father’s arms as fast as she could,“I’ve missed you too.” He said quickly, almost squealing as he watched with an incredulous look,“What are you doing here?” He asked her immediately, and she raised her head to make sure she was his real daughter.“Who brought you?” He asked her but as he raised his head, he found his answer right in fron
