Kevin’s expression shifted and Adrian could see the little hint of fear in his eyes, however it quickly disappeared. He looked at Adrian with a smile. “You do remember I told you that I know where your mother lived,” he explained. “If I do not leave this establishment alive I’d hate for something to happen to her,” he answered softly.The man probably didn't know much about Adrian if he thought he was really going to feel threatened by such a flimsy threat. He glanced at Kevin and clicked the gun once again, before pulling the trigger. Kevin shifted immediately in reaction but instead of a loud bang, the gun only made a clicking sound. Adrian chuckled. “I guess you are lucky this time around,” he explained. “There is only one bullet in this gun, and I have tampered with the mechanics a bit, so with each click, the bullet hostler spins. So the next shot might be the bullet or not. It depends on your luck, so I will ask the question again, why would I betray Mr Anthony for you? What is

Adrian drove back home from work the very evening and went along to his garden immediately, he had started to tend it again and he’s been spending most of his time there and have been using it to gleam gossips of what was going on in the Brooks family, it wasn't necessarily easy to see them face to face everyday and not feel a burning anger within himself it was like a brimstone placed under fire. He put on his gloves and his working clothes and jumped into the garden. He’d just planted a row of fresh tomatoes in one direction and the other direction was filled with pots containing different ornamental flowers, all of which served different purposes. He began to slowly wet the soil, he made it a habit to sprinkle water early morning and late in the evenings. He did the work rather tedious and slowly allowed himself to be immersed in the work. He was so immersed that he didn't see someone in front of him. He glanced up to see Linda in front of him and he smiled. “Good evening,” he g

Adrian nodded and glanced at the lady for a while, a certain thought setting on his mind. “When are you heading back home today?” He asked. “I was planning on leaving once we get back to the house,” she explained. “Why do you ask?”“Is Paschal in the house now?” Adrian asked with scrutiny. “Why do you ask?” She said, “I don't want any trouble with this,” she sighed. “Gods I sound like an idiot, but I am afraid of getting on the wrong side of the Lady, I don't want to go back to where I was coming from. I… I don't want to fail,” she put her hand through her hair. “Just answer the question,” Adrian said, ignoring the rest of her rant. He didn't want her to dissuade him from what he was planning, he understood her plight and was well aware of her fears, he was in her shoes not quite a while ago so he understands how hard it is to go against someone with power. “Yes. He is in the house now,” She replied. “Well who else is in that house,” Adrian asked again.“Raymond, he just came to

Linda walked out of the house, her heart racing, she felt like she’d made a mistake and there was no turning back now, hwr dignity was on the line. She sighed as she walked hastily towards Adrian, who was patiently waiting for her at the yard just beaming with a smile. She couldn't really tell what was making him that happy.“So I resigned and told Raymond about Paschal, what now?” She asked Adrian and the latter gestured for her to follow him. Adrian led her to her car and told her to get in which she did, frowning and scrutinizing Adrian as she did. “You can go home now, come and meet me tomorrow morning, so we can talk,” he said with a smile and then waved at her. “I don't necessarily understand this yet, but thank you,” she nodded at him and gave him a warm smile as she ignited her car and drove away. Linda had always been a little sad with her work life and didn't necessarily like the Brooks, but that was her only job and she couldn't just quit without having another opportuni

Adrian stretched his hand to help her up and she took his hand, her heart still racing from the event that’d just transpired. She was breathing heavily and for a second, she couldn't really speak, her head was light, her entire body aching and her thighs stung so bad. Her head was covered in a hazy cloud and she couldn't see anyone around her as her head throbbed from the pain. “Hey,” Adrian said, but she only heard the sound like a distant voice. She was so locked in, her head filled with horrific imaginations. Paschal wasn't a man when he entered her house, he was a demon and she could feel that unnerving intent that just wanted to subdue her. It wasn't lust per say, just a need to dominate. It was like a beast trying to mark its territory to prove its power and strength. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she whimpered backwards, glancing up only to realize it was Adrian who was looking at her with a bit of concern. “Are you okay ma’am?” He asked, looking into her eyes. She loo

The next day, Linda got up from her bed a little jittery, she had a terrible dream of someone chasing her and she’d barely escaped. As it would seem her encounter with Paschal gave her a bit of trauma but she shook it off soon. She said a little prayer and checked her phone only to find Adrian’s message. “I am awake already, meet me at the Brooks' in an hour,” Linda smiled and checked the time of the message, it was thirty minutes ago. She literally vanished into her bathroom immediately and soon enough began to dress up. She had been given an opportunity and she’s almost going to toss it away by being late? Soon she was done dressing up and before the next five minutes she applied light makeup and dashed out of the house. In the next second, she was igniting her car and driving off towards Brooks. Yesterday, after they’d treated her, Adrian and Raymond left her to sleep and the former reminded her that they were supposed to meet for her new job. She’d been perpetually perturbed ab

A packet of biscuits dropped on the floor as the collision happened and Linda bent down to help the girl pick it up, putting it back into the tray. Adrian got up on the chair and glanced at the others. “Excuse me,” he said, chasing after Linda. “Wait,” he called out after her but the woman was rushing outside as fast as she could. Adrian didn't understand what was going on in her mind as he felt he was doing a good thing, something she would be happy to accept, he hadn't expected her to get mad over the matter in fact. He rushed after her, catching the door before she swung it close. “Linda!” He yelled! The woman paused and turned around. “What?” she said, clearly angry about something. “You don't want to accept this?” He glanced at her. “Why?” He was confused. He had no idea why someone wouldn't want to accept a business enterprise like this and prefer to work as a personal assistant to someone who treats them like nothing. “It is too much,” she said. “Why are you giving me this?

Adrian was completely dressed up by six o’clock in the morning. He was wearing a tuxedo with matching shoes. He’d gone to have a haircut the other day and he was looking rather neat. He checked his phone once more, his heart racing as he expected Mister Anthony's call. It's been a long time since he’s been expecting this day to come, in fact he’s been dreading its arrival for a while now and it is finally here. He’d been going about studies when Mr Anthony called him that he was supposed to meet his betrothed today. He really had no idea what kind of person she is nor did the lawyer provide him any clue or encouragement. He was walking like a blind man into the home of one of the richest people in the city to take their daughter. He had no idea the etiquette of such a setting, he didn't even know if it was polite to bring a gift or anything. He was just at the moment very perplexed and that increased his anxiety. He couldn't sleep all night, he just kept on thinking multiple times

The heavy iron gates of the prison creaked open, revealing a narrow passage that led to the visitors' area. Adrian felt a cold chill run down his spine as he stepped into the dimly lit corridor, the air thick with the scent of damp concrete and rust. The sound of his footsteps echoed in the narrow space, a lonely rhythm that matched the unsettling atmosphere of the place. He had been here before, years ago, but this visit was different. This time, he wasn’t coming to see a friend or a client—he was here to see Lazzaro, the man who had tried to destroy his family and his life.As he approached the room where Lazzaro was waiting, Adrian took a deep breath, steeling himself for what was to come. He had thought long and hard about this visit, wondering if it was even worth it. But in the end, his curiosity had won out. He needed to see Lazzaro one last time—to look him in the eyes and understand what drove him to commit such heinous acts.The guard opened the door for him, and Adrian step

The tension in the room was palpable as everyone took their seats in the large, ornate boardroom. The long, polished mahogany table gleamed under the soft glow of the chandelier, and the walls were lined with portraits of the Brooks family, their stern faces watching over the gathering. It was a room where the most critical decisions in the company’s history had been made, but today, the atmosphere was different—heavier, almost suffocating.Adrian sat near the end of the table, his jaw clenched as he watched the members of the board filter in. He had barely slept the night before, the adrenaline from the chase still coursing through his veins. Blinks had assured him that the police would handle the aftermath, but it was hard to shake the feeling that something was still unresolved. He glanced around the room, noting the tense expressions on the faces of the board members and family members who had been summoned to this urgent meeting. Whispers filled the air, speculation running rampa

Adrian’s heart was still pounding from the chaos inside the mansion when he rushed outside to find Blinks. The evening air was cool against his flushed skin, but there was a heaviness in his chest that wouldn’t go away. The door slammed shut behind him, muffling the sounds of heated arguments and panicked voices. He spotted Blinks near the garden, pacing back and forth with his phone pressed to his ear."Blinks!" Adrian called out as he jogged toward him, the urgency in his voice undeniable. "What’s going on?"Blinks turned to him, his face a mask of grim determination. He quickly ended the call and slipped his phone into his pocket. "We’ve got a serious problem, Adrian," he said, his voice low and tense. "Lazzaro’s gone desperate. Mr. Shin just sent word from the Black community—Lazzaro’s put a hit out on you. A group of assassins is on their way right now."Adrian felt a cold chill race down his spine. "Assassins? Here?"Blinks nodded, his expression hardening. "Yeah, and they’re no

The grand hall was in utter disarray, a cacophony of raised voices and frantic gestures. The revelation that Adrian was the sole heir to Mr. Brooks’ empire had thrown the room into chaos. Lady Barbara was on the verge of fainting, Ada was livid, and Raymond and Lazzaro were locked in a heated argument with Anthony, who was valiantly trying to maintain control.It was then that the door to the hall creaked open, and the man who had been presumed dead, the very man who was the catalyst of this storm, walked in.Mr. Brooks stood at the entrance, his imposing figure framed by the light filtering in from the hallway. His presence was like a cold gust of wind that swept through the room, instantly silencing the tumult. All eyes turned to him, the shock evident on every face.“Father?” Adrian’s voice was the first to break the silence, disbelief etched in every syllable.“Yes, Adrian,” Mr. Brooks replied, his tone even, though his eyes softened as they met his son’s. “I’m alive. And I see I’

The towering Brooks mansion loomed ahead as Adrian, Anthony, and Blinks approached in tense silence. The weight of the moment was palpable, each step they took echoing on the gravel driveway like the ticking of a clock counting down to an inevitable confrontation. Adrian’s heart raced as they reached the grand entrance, the large oak doors standing tall as if guarding the secrets within. For Adrian, this was a place of many firsts—the first time he set foot in the Brooks estate as a member of the family he was about to reveal himself to. The mansion’s grandeur could not mask the rot that had festered within its walls for years. Today, that rot was about to be exposed.The doors swung open, revealing a dimly lit grand hall. Lady Barbara stood near the fireplace, her posture straight but her face drawn with weariness. Ada and Raymond sat on one of the long couches, their expressions impatient and guarded. Lazzaro, leaning casually against the wall, gave Adrian a cold, calculating glanc

Adrian sat silently in the car, the tension between him and Mr. Brooks palpable. The air was thick with unspoken words and years of unresolved issues. Mr. Brooks glanced at Adrian, his expression softening as he saw the storm of emotions in his son’s eyes."Adrian," Mr. Brooks began, his voice calm but heavy with the weight of what he needed to say. "I know you have a lot of questions. I owe you some answers."Adrian’s gaze remained fixed on the windshield, his jaw clenched. "You think?" he muttered, his tone sharp. "Why didn’t you tell me you were my father? Why let my mother suffer all these years? Why leave us in the dark?"Mr. Brooks sighed, rubbing his temples as if trying to ease the guilt that had been gnawing at him for years. "I wanted to protect you, Adrian. But I realize now that I failed in doing so."Adrian finally turned to look at him, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and confusion. "Protect me? From what? From you? From the truth?""From the world," Mr. Brooks r

Adrian paced the floor of the safehouse, his fists clenched and his mind racing. The events of the past few hours had left him seething with anger. “We need to get Rose somewhere safe,” Adrian finally said, his voice tight with restrained fury.Blinks nodded in agreement. “Agreed. She shouldn’t be here when we go after Lazzaro.”They didn’t waste any time. Within minutes, Rose was ready to go, her expression calm but determined. She wasn’t the type to show fear, and even now, after everything that had happened, she remained composed. “Where are we going?” Rose asked as Adrian helped her into the car.“To the police station,” Adrian said. “You’ll be under Penelope and Ramsey’s protection. They’ll keep you safe until this is over.”Rose nodded, trusting Adrian’s judgment. As much as she wanted to stay by his side, she knew that her safety—and the safety of their unborn child—was the priority.The drive to the station was tense but silent. When they arrived, Penelope and Ramsey were al

Blinks was in the middle of cleaning his handgun when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen, immediately recognizing Adrian’s number. Without hesitation, he answered the call.“Adrian, what’s going on?” Blinks asked, his tone alert.“They’re after me, Blinks. At the restaurant. High-rise,” Adrian’s voice came through, tense but controlled. In the background, Blinks could hear the unmistakable sounds of gunfire and chaos.“I’m on my way. Stay low,” Blinks replied, ending the call before Adrian could respond. He quickly strapped on his holster, tucking a few extra magazines into his jacket. Before leaving, he dialed another number—Ramsey’s.“Ramsey, it’s Blinks. Adrian’s under attack. Restaurant in the high-rise. Get units there, now.”“Got it. I’ll send a team. You sure you don’t want to wait?” Ramsey’s voice was calm, but there was a note of urgency beneath it.“No time. I’ll handle it until you get there.” Blinks didn’t wait for a reply. He hung up, grabbed his car keys, and was o

Adrian and Rose laid on the floor as the robbers were still making their rounds in the restaurant. Adrian kept his eyes down, trying to maintain a calm facade, though every instinct in his body screamed at him to stay alert. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.The robbers were systematic, moving from table to table, demanding wallets and jewelry. As they approached Adrian and Rose’s table, he felt a chill run down his spine. He subtly shifted his position, placing himself closer to Rose.One of the robbers, a tall man with cold eyes, pointed his gun at Adrian. "Wallet, now," the man ordered, his voice a low growl.Adrian nodded slowly, trying to keep his movements calm and deliberate. "Sure, no problem." He reached into his pocket, pulling out his wallet and holding it out for the man to take. The robber snatched it from his hand without a word, stuffing it into a bag slung over his shoulder.Just as Adrian thought they were moving on, the robber barked, "Head up! Le
