He heard Louisa’s sharp intake of breath, alongside some of the ladies present and smirked once more, crossing his feet as he stood. “He's even arrogant and not remorseful” one lady yelled in the crowd, as she narrowed her eyes at him. Adam just quirked his eyebrow at her and smiled smugly “Very unrepentant. He deserves to go back to jail, it's obvious he hasn't learnt any lesson there at all” Williams drew his head back quickly in shock at Adam’s response and indifferent stance, glared intensely at Adam, not blinking in his stare, he exhaled deeply and held his breath before he huffed, "How dare you talk to me like that you fool! I could have you destroyed, I did it once, and I will do it again"Adam who was frustrated with Williams' ominous threats, and the accusations thrown at him by those present, rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, glaring at Williams. “There's nothing you can do Williams, you have done your worse”“Hey, young man! You can't talk to this distinguished fel

The waiter returned swiftly with the manager in his tow, both hurrying down, sweat glistened on the manager’s forehead, the waiter who had gone to fetch him had briefed him, causing him to be scared and angry at the same time. He knew how erratic these rich ones could be, he didn't want anything that would soil their restaurant’s image. He passed by Adam without recognizing him, Adam hadn't been introduced to the staff, they only knew and spoke to Marcus and Raul. “Good day Sir, I apologise for my delay. I was caught up with work” Williams who had been awaiting this day, grinned and patted the manager’s back“Not to worry, we all understand. We just need your help in getting rid of a particular pest, that's all”With his eyes darting around the room, the manager quickly responded“Certainly Sir”Knowing he had the upper hand, Williams smiled smugly and went on“A lot of us come here to eat, not just because of the restaurant’s beauty, but because of the safety and its affluence.

Adrien Maverick was a big name in the business world, he was highly feared and respected by a lot of people, and the mention of his name commanded fear in people, because of the power he wielded, everyone wanted to be associated with him. Since growing close to Adam, he had heard his story and his history with Williams Bates, as businessmen who ran their own companies, he had come across Bates a few times at meetings and all and barely acknowledged him. The dude rubbed him the wrong way, and considering he had dirty dealings, he knew his gut was right. Disregarding the shocked stares and gape, Adrien walked confidently across the hallway, with Omar shaking his head behind him, he knew how Adrien could get“Adam my man, fancy seeing you here!” he exclaimed loudly, making sure to sound pleasantly shocked. A relaxed smile crossed his face as he walked on, his face beaming. Adam subtly scowled at him, and he smirked, winking in return. “How on earth does the Adrien Maverick know this ma

Still waiting for Louisa’s response, she kept her eyes on her, whose face had begun to flush in intense anger, she watched as Louisa gulped loudly, clenching and unclenching her fist as she did, but was yet to supply herself and her son with an answer. “Louisa, talk to me. If your husband is still seething, at least tell us what's going on, do not leave us in the dark” glancing at Logan, for a show of support, she noticed her son bobbing his head, as he unconsciously rubbed at his sling arm“Mum is right Sis, tell us what happened so we know how to channel our energy and anger and devise a means of finishing off that bastard totally be…” “Finishing him off is all I crave! It is my sole desire.” still enraged, Williams interjected Logan’s speech, sharply turning to Logan as he spoke, Louisa’s hand on his back falling away as he did, his eyes like moltenFacing Cecila once more, his voice dripping with venom, “You want to know what that pauper, a bloody nobody of your ex-son-in-law

Two days after the restaurant incident, and finally over Adrien’s teasing, and to his chagrin and surprise, Raul as well, Adam had decided to come see Louisa’s old man, he hadn't seen him since he got out of prison.He leaned back on the tattered chair as he surveyed the room he was currently in, the living room was quite bare, safe for a few furniture and a small TV, as well as a worn-out fan that creaked each time it moved.He couldn't believe the living conditions of Gerald Martins, aka Jerry, now that his daughter was in money, and with Williams flaunting his wealth in their faces by helping them out, he wondered why Jerry’s case was different.Jerry had gone in a while ago, giving Adam ample time to glance around the apartment, he soon heard Jerry’s footsteps and straightened himself up in his seat.“Adam my boy! It's so good to have you here, such a pleasant surprise” Jerry exclaimed as he came to join Adam in the living room, looking at him, the man looked frail, ‘wasn't he bei
