More than Daniel was scared about everything that his son had explained to him, he was also not certain that his son had what it took to defeat whoever they were. “Adrian, I suggest that you stay away from Avery since that is what they have asked of you. You are my son that I have lost for years and I can't afford anything happening to you”“I understand how worried you are, but you have nothing to worry about, I am going to be careful and nothing is going to happen to you”“No! This topic is not up for negotiation. Whatever all this is about, let the adults handle it, as for you, you are the heir to Wesley Corporation and have a responsibility there, so I suggest that you start taking responsibility for your family and company rather than a delusional world!”Daniel concluded and was about to walk away, but then he came to an abrupt halt again as he turned to his son. “I have assigned new guards to you who are more capable of protecting you, after school tomorrow, you are expected to

The next day, Adrian went to school with the new security detail that was assigned to him, it was not an easy one for him and although it was the last days of college, Adrian felt so hard keeping up with all the eyes around him.Once he was through with his exams, he went straight to the company just like he had agreed with his father.“Adrian welcome to the corporation, everything around here might belong to you, but trust me when I say that there will be no preferential treatment for you, you are going to work hard just like everyone here and you will have to earn your spot here”“You have nothing to worry about, I do not expect any preferential treatment and I am going to work as hard as I can to make you and every member of the Wesley family proud”“I am so glad to hear that, you are going to be working under Kelvin, he is much older than you and has been in the company since he was a child, so I expect you to respect him and do whatever he tells you to do”Adrian nodded his head,

Once Adrian and Kelvin both left the hall, Adrian followed him over to his office where Kelvin had a calm gaze on his face. Eva quickly stepped in with a cup of coffee but Adrian stood there, still confused at what just happened.“What was that that just happened?” Adrian asked once Eva had placed the cup and stepped away from there.“What are you talking about?”“You know exactly what I am talking about. You and I both know that you had clearly stated that you wanted those files ready in a week, because if you had asked me that you wanted those files ready today, you know that I would have done that, yet you still found it easy to make me look like a fool in front of the entire board, why did you choose to do something like that”“I do not know what you are talking about, you are the one who failed to listen while I was speaking, because if you had listened carefully, then you would have heard me say that the files would be used today, even Eva could bear witness to it, so what are y

Adrian scurried upstairs to his room where Avery was staring at the painting on the wall, even while he stepped in, she still had her gaze fixed on the painting like she did not notice him come in.“Avery hey”“You are back from work, I heard you made a mess at the board meeting today?”“I guess we all make mistakes, or wouldn't you agree with me?” he asked softly and she nodded her head before she finally turned to meet his gaze. “Freya kept insisting that you wanted to see me, what is this about?”“Are you still angry with me?”“Shouldn't I, even my dad is still angry about the fact that I dismissed Marcus and yet I could not give him a reasonable answer. It is not like I can just tell him that I made a new friend who has some spiritual powers and thinks that Marcus has an evil aura around him”“Yeah, I get you, and I think that you have every reason to be angry with me, but how about you calm down while I have a shower and then we can both have dinner here”“Shouldn't you be having

Daniel watched his son stride through the stairs with Avery, he felt angry about this and wanted to interrupt since Adrian had been badly warned to stay away from her, but he knew that Adrian had been through enough embarrassment for one day and wouldn't be so happy if he was talk down on right before his guest.Walking back to the house, Adrian was so lost in his thoughts that he did not notice the figure walking towards him, but as soon as he lifted his head to meet the dark gaze piercing at him, he was startled.“Dad, you are still awake?”“Yes, I was just about go to bed when I noticed you walking out of the house, you have been avoiding me all night and seeing her leave the house, I think that I clearly understand now”“I am not avoiding you, I don't think that there is any reason for that, I have just been busy with my own things”“Yes I saw that, and it made me wonder how many lives they are going to have to take away for you to take away from her”“No life will be lost again,
