Water gathered in Jerry’s eyes, his throat clogging up, as he tried swallowing the lump in his throat, clearing his throat to speak, he nodded his head and spoke in a broken voice“Th-ank yo-u”“Anytime old man. I'll be going now, and I insist you go rest. You need it, Jerry”Jerry nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude. Opening his arms wide, Adam folded himself into it, and both men exchanged a hearty hug, clapping themselves on the back as they did.Adam gently pushed Jerry towards the direction of his room and watched him go in. Satisfied, he opened the door to step out, walking down the deteriorated stairs, an expensive car suddenly parked in front of Jerry’s house, causing Adam to halt in his stepsThree doors opened at once, and he was met with three varying degrees of glares and sneers.“Why the hell are you here you moron!”He watched as the three Martins scowled and glowered at him.They weren't worth his time, hence he ignored them and continued his descent, three car doors

Adam kept staring at Cecilia blankly, without saying a word in response to her daughter's yapping. Adam’s demeanour made Louisa reflect on Williams’ remark of a few nights ago; causing her to wonder if he might have had some sort of backing. He had surely grown some balls from the Adam she once knew. The former Adam wouldn't have dared to threaten her mother. Cecilia on the other hand could not understand what was going on, and it infuriated her that Adam wasn't cowering on his feet as he ought to, rather he stood unmoving and unflinching She was going to let him have the last words, she wouldn't give him that satisfaction. Staring back at him intensely, without blinking her eyes, she held her chin high up and spoke in a steady voice that belied the turmoil she was feeling within, “I would like to see you try. If you think the issue with your family was child’s play, what I have in store for you would make you rethink!” She didn't have anything in store for him, but there was no n

The thug raised his head to glare at the speaker, his face tightened just as his lips pressed together, narrowing his eyes, he sneered at Adam“What the heck are you, and what gives you the right to interfere!?” Adam’s eyes twinkled with mischief, and he gave a bemused smile before struggling his shoulders in response“I'm an advocate against bullying of any sort. The people you are picking on are clearly outnumbered by you” while he spoke, he saw the burly man signal to his men, and from his peripheral view Adam could see them stealthy approaching, their weapons raised; ready to attack and braced himself for what they felt was an onslaught. Legs apart with his hands still behind him, Adam raises his eyebrow at the leader and clears his throat “I'll give you all but five seconds to clear yourself and your goons from this area” Adam calmly urged The leader guffawed loudly, raised his eyebrows while bending his head to one side, and in a mocking tone, “Or what?...” he eyed the lengt

Bored out of his mind, Logan got on his feet for a while and walked the room, his eyes darting everywhere as he did. Before long, his eyes rested on the chipped table where Jerry had placed the drink Adam had given him. Logan inhaled sharply, as he picked the bottle, turning it over and over. Opening his mouth but no coherent words came out, finally gathering himself, still holding on to the bottle, he gawked at Jerry and exclaimed “Father, where did you get this drink from!? This is a Golden Cascade Scotch! There are only three bottles of this kind in the world, where did you get it from? Who gave you this prized possession!? It costs a fortune!”Jerry smirked in response, and walked towards him, subtly taking his drink off Logan’s arm when he got to him. Smiling smugly, he lifted the bottle to his face and cast a side view at Logan and the rest who “If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.”Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Cecilia clenched her teeth, narrowed her eyes at J

Shrugging half-heartedly, Louisa lifted her hands loosely and spoke in a flat voice, “Who cares? I took it from my father's house, Logan was the one who found it and he claimed Adam gave it to him” she snorted disgustingly and went on, almost mumbling to herself, “as if that cheapskate can afford to buy anything for someone, not to talk more of buying a supposed expensive drink” rolling her eyes exaggeratedly she scoffed loudlyWilliams on the other hand, drew back his head quickly, taken aback. Staring at Louisa, with his mouth slightly open, his eyes kept blinking, trying to process what he had heard. He shook his head in denial, and once again looked over the bottle Louisa had handed him, his eyebrows creasing as he did. His eyes moved over the bottle, trying to figure out the trademark and signature symbol to confirm the originality of the drink, he went completely still as he discovered the subtle symbol, he subtly swallowed the lump and gasp in his throat, Squinting his eyes,
