Adam parked his car in front of his house and got out. He looked up and saw Rosalind sitting on the terrace, enjoying a bowl of ice cream. She was wearing a casual dress and sunglasses, looking relaxed and carefree. He felt a pang of envy, but he also knew he couldn’t afford to be angry or offended by her demeanor, because he knew he needed her help.He walked up the stairs and greeted her. "Hey."She looked up and smiled. "Hey. Desmond told me what happened." She gestured to the empty chair next to her. "Have a seat. Want some ice cream?"Adam shook his head. "No, thanks. I’m not in the mood."Rosalind shrugged and scooped up some ice cream with her spoon. "Suit yourself." She licked the spoon and looked at him with a serious expression. "So, what are you going to do about the Fosters?"Adam sighed and sat down. "I have a plan. But I need your help."Rosalind raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued. "Oh? The mighty Adam needs my help?"Adam ignored that comment and explained his plan

Meanwhile at a different location, Brian Foster's face darkened as he received a call from one of the top executives of the Specter Alliance."What the hell do you mean you're ending our alliance?" Brian yelled, his voice tinged with anger and confusion.The executive on the other end of the line sighed. "I'm sorry, Brian. It's a direct order from the boss. I can't do anything about it."Brian ground his teeth, struggling to control his emotions. "This is crap. We've been partners for 2 damn years. Why the sudden change?"The ececutive snapped, "Because you fucked up, Brian. That's why! You stepped over the line and offended someone you shouldn't have. The boss is furious and wants nothing to do with you or our alliance anymore. You brought this on yourself!"Brian's eyes widened in shock. "What are you talking about? Who did I offend?"The executive let out a sigh. "You made the boss's future son-in-law angry."Brian's confusion turned to disbelief. "What the hell are you talking abo

Brian felt a lump form in his throat as he looked at his son, who was also staring at him in terror. He couldn't let anything happen to Robert, not after what they had already been through."What do you want from me?" Brian finally said, his voice strained.Rosalind gave a slow nod, his expression almost satisfied. "Good. I'm glad we understand each other."Adam leaned forward, his gaze intense. "You must understand that you cannot leave here alive. But I'll give you two choices. First, you and your son die here and now, which I don't really want to happen. Second, you die, but your son will live. Not only that, but I will make sure that the Foster family continues to thrive in this country, with one condition. The Foster family cannot touch the Hunt family."Brian was shocked to the core. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. He had thought he could handle anything, but this situation was proving to be too much for him. He had always been protective of his family, but he had n

Aria took a step back and motioned for Adam to come inside."She's still scared, but she's better than before. She's sleeping now," Aria said softly, leading Adam to a chair.But Adam didn't sit down. Instead, he walked over to Rachel's bed and looked down at her sleeping form. She looked so peaceful and innocent."Let's go to the living room," Adam said to Aria, his voice barely above a whisper.Aria nodded in agreement and followed him into the living room. They sat down on the couch, but Adam couldn't get comfortable. His mind was still reeling from what had just happened.Aria sat silently next to him, giving him space to process his thoughts and emotions. After a few minutes of silence, she spoke up."Do you want some coffee? It might help you relax," she offered, gesturing towards the kitchen.But Adam shook his head.Aria nodded in understanding. "I'm sorry. Maybe this isn't the best time to talk about this, but I wanted to let you know that I called my parents again. They're c

One of the men, a tall individual dressed in expensive clothing, stepped forward and looked at Lilith with desire in his eyes. Lilith immediately felt her blood boil and her body tensed up."What's your name, beautiful?" the man asked, not bothering to look at Adam.Lilith felt her anger rising and her eyes narrowed as she answered in a cold voice, "That's none of your business."The man chuckled. "Oh come on now, don't be like that. A woman as stunning as you should be proud of her name."Lilith couldn't help but feel disgusted. "I don't need your compliments. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have somewhere to be."But the man didn't budge and continued to eye Lilith up and down, making her feel even more uncomfortable. Adam noticed this and stepped forward, standing protectively in front of Lilith."She said we have somewhere to be. Now leave," Adam said in a tone that brooked no argument.The man seemed to be taken aback for a moment by Adam's sudden assertiveness, but then his express
