Adrian sat in the front seat of Blink's car and hadn't let out a word since they'd left the mansion. Blinks had tried speaking to him but he wasn't necessarily interested in talking, he stared at the car window, watching several buildings they passed through. In reality though he didn't see any of them, he was lost in the confines of his thoughts. He didn't think the reaction of Lady Barbara would have hurt him that much. He thought after years of being treated less than a human he'd already understood that the family; his foster family would never accept him. In one corner of his heart he wanted their validation in some ways and he'd realized now that it was folly to think that they'd ever see him in the light he wanted them to see him. He had now realized he had to show them who he was. He knew one of them had tried to kill Mr. Brooks; maybe it was all of them, whoever it was he would get to the bottom of it. While he did that, he was going to get his respect from each and everyon

It's been about three days since Adrian had decided to set up his room and he'd brought several materials with Blinks. He brought tiny security cams, so that he'd always know who entered his room and when. He also changed the lock to his room, in case anyone wanted to break in. He knew he was now liable to having something placed inside his room just to frame him. Though, genuinely, he has been a little bit confused about the Brook's family lately. Ada and Lazzaro were acting weirdly towards him. They’d see him in the morning and greet him like they were long lost friends. Raymond on the other hand was a little jealous of his position, but he maintained a feigned distance. Lady Barbara obviously still hated him and believed him to be the family’s cause of pain. Savannah maintained her usual demeanor and just silently paced around the house, obscured from the squabbles. Adrian, currently at his garden, wetting his garden crops when he had a little shuffle behind him. He glanced behi

It was a young fair lady standing in front of him. It was at that moment Adrian realized that the button he pressed was to buzz in a personal assistant. “Can you get me coffee?” He asked. The woman nodded and gave him a smile. “Would you like biscuits to go with it sir,” the girl asked.He nodded and the girl smiled and walked away. “I am sorry,” Adrian called her back. “What is your name?”“Adeline,” the girl said. “Everyone calls me Ade. It is a pleasure to meet you sir,” she bowed and walked away. Adrian smiled, he didn't know he would have a personal assistant. The offices on this floor were certainly too large for him to meet the personnel working in them. He began to watch his video and take down notes when Adeline arrived. The lady placed down a mug of coffee on the table and a box of biscuits to follow. He glanced up at her and said thank you. She nodded and stood in front of him. “Will that be all sir?” She asked. “Uhm, no. “ He said. “I actually need your help with a lit

He glanced at the text for a few seconds, not knowing what to think of it. He shook his head and hurriedly texted Blinks. “What do you mean?” He asked and dropped his phone into his pocket. He knew Blinks probably won't be able to text while driving. Adeline sat beside Adrian feeling a little uncomfortable, there was an eerie silence in the car as they drove downtown. It was around four o’clock and the sun had already begun to fade away. Its form in the far distance was a big ball of fire but the entire atmosphere was getting darker. Adrian glanced at Adeline and he saw her clutching her bag to her chest like she was holding it to save her life. “Why are you jittery?” Adrian asked with a chuckle. Adeline glanced at him. “I… I have never actually gone out with Mr. Anthony before, so I am just surprised,” she explained. “... definitely not scared,” she muttered silently under her breath. Adrian laughed. “You are funny,” he said. “I am not trying to make you uncomfortable, but you s

As Adrian entered the house, Londa picked up her phone immediately and dialed Rose’s number. She had seen him speak to her and had noticed that there was a connection between them, the girl had met him in a space of a few weeks and they were talking like they knew each other for months. Linda hoped Rose would be able to do something about Adrian’s craziness at the moment.“Hello,” Rose said in a lazy voice. “Why are you disturbing me big girl,” she said as Linda heard her shuffle underneath the sheets of her bed. “Are you sleeping?” Linda asked, surprised.“Yes… yes I am. Didn't sleep all night, had to work. Why are you calling now?” She asked. “I swear if it's something stupid, I will wring your head off,” she promised. “No… it is Adrian,” she said and Rose tumbled out of bed immediately. “What is wrong with Adrian?” She asked, her voice agitated, the sleep wiped from her face. The only thing left was intense curiosity and fear. The last time Linda had called her like that he was
