“She…She…”Before Theresa could complete her words, Adrian was beginning to feel dizzy for no reason. The system in his head, seemed to be sparking, and then suddenly fell to the ground.~DREAM STATE~The next time Adrian opened his eyes, he met himself on a strange field. It was very large, and also a field good enough for any kind of sports.And then he saw people gathered around him, like they were celebrating him. Although, they didn’t close up on him. They were just a crowd around.But it seemed like there was a purpose he had, here. He recognized everyone here, although, it didn’t seem like that in reality.Suddenly, he felt a strange, yet, familiar power. It felt dark, because whoever it was, the person had dark intentions, and was definitely around us.He looked around cautiously until he caught sight of Anna and a woman, walking towards them. Silence fell, and he moved forward, with his brows raised.He didn’t need anyone to tell him what was going on. Anna had definitely par

A few days later~A few days had passed, and Adrian was nowhere to be found. Even the contest had been won by Steve Wilson, as Adrian’s presence was not found. Now, the company was about to be affected.Lucas dressed in his room, trying hard so time wouldn't run out on him. There was a conference meeting scheduled for the day, and he had to attend instead of Adrian.The executives had sent in multiple envelopes, all demanding to see Adrian.‘Where is the CEO?’‘What is the CEO planning on doing?’ Another person asked.‘Is CEO Adrian aware that things are becoming even worse, without his presence?”They had sent in all kinds of questions, and Lucas understood their impatience. It was all stemming from the fear that someone else had woven into their hearts, and that was none other than Regina. Steve Wilson had given her the power to do so.A knock came on his door. “Come in.” He said, brushing his hair. If he didn't look his best, they would assume Adrian didn't know what he was doing,

The next day, Lucas was informed that the executives wanted to have a meeting with him, as they had something they needed him to know, before he took any action.As he knotted his tie, his mind couldn’t help but drift to what the executives had to say to him, when they could have said, at the last meeting.It meant they had discussed among themselves after then and had concluded on something which they would like to tell him about.His phone rang, and saw that it was a call from Sophie, so he answered it.“Lucas, I heard the executives wanted a conference meeting as they have something to say to you.”“So, I heard. Well, I’m done dressing up, so, I’ll be on my way to the company soon.”“Hmm. I don’t have a good feeling about this. Any news about Adrian, yet?” Sophie asked, worriedly.“No, not yet. Let’s just hope for the best.” Lucas uttered, trying to sound positive.“Alright then. I’m also on my way to the company.”“Okay. See you later, then.” Lucas said, then the call disconnected

They all drove to Adrian’s home, and he served them both a glass of juice, each, and sat before them as he placed his, on the center table.“So, I decided that I would have a conversation with you both, once I saw you. And here we are. I’m certain you have a lot of questions, but I’m going to answer what I can, and it’s going to be answers to a primary question.” Adrian said to them, and Sophie, especially leaned closer, ready to hear what he had to say.She would have started with nagging him on why he had disappeared, and left so many things at stake, but since he had spoken first, and was going to explain to them what happened, she remained clam.“So, I’m certain that the first question which would be on your mind, is where I disappeared to. And my answer is I went on a business trip, with someone important. I’m not sure yet, if what we went for was successful, but I hope it would.”“Adrian, this isn’t right. When did you start having secret business trips which you wouldn’t inform

“Who the hell?” He managed to say, under his breath, before he fell to the ground, hoping that a bigger trouble won’t have occurred if he ever woke up.~The next time he woke up, he woke up on a bed, and the fact that he was bound in shackles, while on the bed, made him feel uncomfortable, and killed the thought that he might be in Andrew’s home.He tried to break free from the shackles, even when he knew that it was somehow impossible, due to how strong it was. “Who is out there! Get me out of this thing!” Adrian yelled out, in anger.He was tired of the whole thing. Having to jump from one fire to another fire of trouble, without even being able to bounce back at people doing these things.To him, he was beginning to feel like he hadn’t made a comeback at all.“I said get me out of these chains!” Adrian yelled out again, disgusted at the fact that it made him feel like he was a beast that they had to detain.Then the door opened, and he adjusted himself while he sat up. To his sho
