Adrian pulled the janitor's uniform over his head; the plainness of the clothes felt strange to his skin. Javier had gotten him the cleaning job at Sinclair Industries. He would finally have the opportunity to once again see the woman who betrayed him. He walked down the halls of Sinclair Industries with a broom in his hand, almost invisible, a shadow moving through the building, unseen. People went on with their business and nobody gave him as much as a second glance, which was precisely what he wanted. He was just another cleaner going about his work. But Adrian had something else on his mind, he wanted to get into Evelyn's office. He needed to find something-anything-that could help bring her down. As he reached out to her office door, Adrian reached for his keycard. It was a standard issue for employees like him, a pass to the areas he needed to clean-including the executive offices. Slipping the card through the lock, the door unlocked with a soft click. He slipped in

“Who’s there?!”The voice caused Adrian, Javier, and Coder to freeze mid-motion, their hearts pounding.They quickly put their masks back on before the guard could get a good look at their faces.“Intruders!” the guard shouted loudly, his voice echoing down the hallway. Adrian rushed forward, quickly closing the distance between him and the guard, and with two swift strikes, he knocked the guard out.Buy that was not before the guard pressed the emergency button on his radio. A loud alarm rang with red lights flashing all over the room. “Forget about the safe. We need to leave now.” Adrian motioned to Coder.Coder stared at the safe, still tempted to gave a go at it, but he snapped himself out of it and quickly put his gadgets back in his bag as they burst out the door.Soon, guards were rushing towards them as they ran through the executive hallway. Adrian led the way as coder pulled up a live feed of the cameras on his tablet.“Which way?” Adrian asked, as they came to a stop at a

Chapter 16 Adrian swallowed hard. Had Evelyn caught on? “Didn’t you hear me? I said turn around!” she repeated. Adrian slowly turned to face her. He wasn’t sure what to do. Should he run away? He’d probably wouldn’t get far before he was caught. As he faced Evelyn, she tried to make out his face. “Take off your mask. I want to see your face.” She demanded. Adrian’s heart beated fast as he reached for the strap of his mask to take it off. Just then, Evelyn’s assistant interrupted “Ma’am you have a call.” “Put it on hold.” She responded sharply. “It’s about Delaney Enterprises.” Her assistant added. This quickly caught Evelyn’s attention. she had been desperately trying to seal a business deal with them. “You can leave” she said to Adrian before walking into her office. Adrian breathed a sigh of relief. He had managed to prevent his identity from being exposed. Had she seen his face, Evelyn would have guessed immediately that he had something to do with the bre

“When is she moving the safe?” Adrian asked eagerly.“In 3 days.” Javier replied.Adrian clapped his hands together. “Good. We have enough time to make plans.”“What was it you wanted to tell me?” Javier asked, his tone curious “Have you ever heard about the Delaney family before?”“Delaney? Yes, they are one of the richest families in the country. What about them?”“Apparently, I am the heir to the Delaney fortune.”Javier’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What?”“Why did you never tell me this?”“ I never knew my father since I was young. However, I am just finding out that he was the owner of Delaney enterprises and he left it all for me when he passed.”Javier noticed Adrian’s blank expression “For some reason, you don’t sound too happy about this. Is something wrong?”Adrian exhaled slowly, running a hand through his hair. “From a young age, I had always hated my father. I’m not sure I can accept the inheritance he left behind.”Javier leaned forward. “Adrian think about this. This

“Thanks for the help” Javier said as they left coder’s place. “Sure. Let me know when next need a safe to crack.” Coder grinned widely, before shutting the steel door. “So, what next?” Javier turned to Adrian. “I need to find out what Evelyn has on Ethan, but It’s too risky for us to keep working like this. I need a better way to get my revenge, and for that I need resources.” Javier raised an eyebrow“Does that mean…...?” “Yes. I am going to take my place as the heir of the Delaney Empire” Adrian replied. [Delaney Estate] “I’m glad you have decided to accept the inheritance.” Gaines said overjoyed. “This is great news!” Brianne added with enthusiasm. “I have been hoping you would. I propose we throw a party to celebrate, I already have a list of all the influential families that would be invited” she added as she handed a sheet of paper to Adrian. A small sinister smile tugged
