Virgil nodded and quickly left, leaving Adam and Lilith alone once more. Adam couldn't help but feel a sense of dread at the sudden change in atmosphere."Is everything okay?" he asked, with a worried face that he faked.Lilith’s cold attitude vanished, and she smiled at Adam warmly. "Don’t worry, everything’s fine. Just some business that needs taking care of. But let’s not talk about that, let’s enjoy our night."Adam was still a little anxious, but he decided to follow Lilith’s lead and change the subject."Sure," he said. "This yacht is incredible, isn’t it? I’ve never seen anything like this before."Lilith laughed. "Yes, it is quite remarkable. But let’s talk about something more...interesting.""What do you have in mind?" Adam looked up, trying to act casual."You look tense," Lilith remarked, grinning. "What’s wrong? Do you not enjoy my company?"Adam shook his head immediately. "No, it's not that. I just...I don't know what to expect.These luxuries, then the guards who are al

In the parking lot, Hazel noticed a stunning woman with a muscular build following Adam closely. She had short black hair, piercing deep brown eyes, and a leather jacket that accentuated her curves. Hazel felt a pang of jealousy and wondered who she was. Adam sensed her curiosity and introduced her as Raven, his personal bodyguard. Hazel laughed and teased Adam about Raven as they loaded their luggage into her car. Since Hazel didn't expect that Adam would be accompanied by his family and carrying quite a lot of luggage, Sarah and Rachel said they didn’t mind taking a cab. They said they would follow Hazel’s car.Adam told Hazel that he planned to finalize the deal with Yvonne today, and pay her the full amount for the house. He said they would need a place to stay for the night, preferably close to Yvonne’s house. Hazel nodded and recommended a motel nearby, called Mambo Motel.However, Hazel warned Adam that it was nothing fancy, just a basic motel with decent rooms and service. A

Hazel jumped up from the couch, grabbed his arm and squeezed it. "But what if you need backup? Don't you remember who my family is in this city?"Adam laughed and gently pried her fingers off his arm. "I remember very well, and that's exactly why I can't risk your safety. Don't worry, Raven is enough."Hazel bit her lip and nodded reluctantly. "Okay, just be careful. And call me as soon as you can."Adam nodded. "I will. Stay here and keep an eye on Yvonne, just in case. And don't open the door to anyone you don't know.""I'll bring her to my house, it's safer there.""That's better," Adam said, and opened the door. He looked back at Hazel and smiled. "I’ll see you soon."He stepped out and closed the door behind him, and immediately noticed something strange. There was a car, a sleek white sportcar with tinted windows. And standing next to the sportcar was Raven, with a set of keys in her hand. She flashed him a smile when she saw him."What is this?" he asked, pointing at the car.R

Raven gasped as the word escaped Adam's lips. "Poison?" She repeated. She had always thought that Adam was someone who played by the rules. But now, he was talking about making poison.She thought about all the things that Adam could do. He could hire a hitman, or use his telekinesis to snap their necks without a trace. Poison was too slow, too risky. So why did he need the poison? It seemed unnecessary, almost sadistic.Adam didn't speak, but his expression said it all.Raven looked at him, waiting for an explanation. When Adam still said nothing, she probed further. "B-but boss, why do you need poison? I can kill for you. Just give me a name."Adam chuckled, a knowing smile spreading across his face. "I know you can, but no. I need you for something else."Raven looked at him quizzically, not liking the sound of that.Just then, the beautiful woman came back into the room, holding a sheet of paper in her delicate hands. "I apologize for making you wait," she said in a melodic voic

Meanwhile somewhere else, Adam and Raven finally reached their destination, the house that used to belong to Yvonne. They walked up to the front door and Adam unlocked it with the key that Hazel had given him.As they stepped inside, they were greeted by a silence that was both peaceful and eerie. The house was empty, except for the furniture and the personal belongings that Yvonne had left behind. Raven asked for permission to explore the house and check everything out. Adam agreed, telling her to feel free to look around and make herself at home.Meanwhile, Adam was doing the same thing, but with a different purpose. He was searching for the perfect room to be his own. He wanted a room that was spacious, quiet, and had the perfect amount of natural light.As he walked through the house, he finally found a room that met all of his requirements. It was located at the far end of the house, away from the noise of the main living areas.Adam smiled to himself, feeling satisfied with his
