Adrian smiled as the head of the family Mr Helmont greeted them warmly. “Lovely guests. Welcome,” he said with a smile. “Come on, have your seat,” he pointed to the sofa. Adrian inhaled and sat down slowly, he fixed his gaze on the two women, trying to discern the awkward familiarity he was getting from them. They looked like someone he knew but his mind was too locked and jumbled to settle and think about it.Over the past few months nothing he’d faced had scared him as much as this little introduction. The two women were a bit uncomfortable as they glanced away from his cold calculating stare, there was something about him that was off. “Well, let me introduce you to my family, young man. Anthony is not a guest here. Him and Brooks always come over here back in the day. We were competitors in the business world but friends in real life. In fact the reason we are all here today was because Heian helped me out once and I promised him something,” Mr Helmont said with a smile. It wa

The entire atmosphere stopped, and he could feel the entire earth halt. Time, space and all fundamental forces paused. His very thoughts froze and he didn't even know what to say. He couldn't think of what to say and Rose herself was stumped. They stood like that for a few minutes just staring into each other's eyes. They spoke with a thousand emotions, neither of them sure of bow to act. Everything else felt unimportant to them. “What are you doing here?” Adrian asked at last, finding his voice. Rose smiled and then stood up from her sofa, “Just go out, I will call you when I am done. Just shoo,” she said, pushing him outside and slamming her door. Her heart was racing so fast with excitement. “How didn't I guess it,” Adrian said as he turned his back against her door and slid down, sitting down by it. Rose did the same but inside the room. “I didn't either,” she said. “No. I had more chances to, I met your parents. They were Helmonts. I saw your sisters now and they looked like

Adrian couldn't look away from the very sight of her at the moment. In that moment her entire visage was different, he could see her in a new and complete form, like she was different from when they first met. He realized it was because this was the first time he was sure that she would be his and only their decisions could influence that otherwise. It was the first time he would gaze upon her without fear or doubt. All he felt was just bliss, and it was fulfilling. The girl glanced at her father and smiled. “Dad,” she said and hugged her old man with a cheek peck. Then she turned around and gave Adrian a cold glare on purpose followed by a sneer. She then turned to Mr Anthony. “Esteemed guests, I am sorry I made you all wait. I was trying to look my best and it was a hard decision picking a cloth. At one point I thought I’d just come out with my fitness but sincerely. I hope my mess of a family did everything to entertain you,” she articulated with a smile. Mr Anthony was taken ab

The children of Mr Anthony sat in the living room after a stern warning from the man not to be a disturbance and the dining continued in complete quietness with the two stealing glances at each other. Soon enough the dining session came to an end and the family started chatting on various topics. “Hmhm,” Rose cleared her throat and then decided it was high time they were alone. “I would like to show Adrian,” she paused and then turned to him. “Right?” The girl smiled as Adrian nodded tersely to her question. “Around the house, you old folks and psychos,” she said the words directly facing her youngest sister. “To your meal.” Adrian stood up almost immediately and she giggled. “You seem eager?” She whispered. “What can I say, I am a people person,” Adrian retorted and the girl chuckled. Soon enough they turned around and walked towards the living room. “Hey kids, come on, let's head out. Leave the boring people to their machinations,” Rose said and the kids didn't even glance at th

Adrian sat in his office with a smile etched on his face as he ran through multiple files, he had been glowing all day and even Adeline couldn't ignore it. Although she’d been keeping it in, she was at last overcome by her inherent curiosity and the desire to engage in casual gossip with him. “Boss, did something happen?” She asked him. “Why did you ask?” He replied, glancing up from his laptop as he took another sip of coffee from his mug. “You are glowing,” she replied. Adrian glanced at her in confusion. “Glowing?” he repeated.“Glowing. Yes. You are happy about something, so happy you can't hide it from your face,” she said with a smile. “I am always happy, what do you mean girl?” He chuckled. “But yes, I will be getting engaged in a month, so yes, I am happy,” he said with a smile. Adeline raised her eyes. “That's…” she paused and swallowed, she didn't believe that was what he would say. He was getting engaged? That wasn't much of a thing to her but she had never seen him wi

Adrian woke up with a splitting headache and a fuzzy memory. He couldn't remember where he was, or what he was doing here. He tried standing up, but for some reason he didn't feel coordinated with his body. He laid on the ground that he was for a while, feeling his head throbbing but the pain was slowly reducing. After a while, he regained full consciousness and he stood up, his head bowed awkwardly as he tried to piece together where he was. He glanced around to see littered debris all over, the entire room seemed to have been visited by the wrath of a god. The gas lamp was broken, the chair at the side was damaged, there was a crack with blood stain on the window. He shook his head and then dusted himself as his memories started to creep back to him. He remembered that he came here to see his ex-girlfriend, Sandra. He bulged his eyes, the moment he remembered her name he realized what’d happened. He stood still, trying to reason what he should do, but he was caught off guard by t

The entirety of Rose’s head burned from within as she dropped the call. She had started to cook his favorite food when he called and the idiot of a man she had just said he was going to prison so casually one would think it was a party that he was heading out to. She called his number multiple times but he only rang and he didn't even pick up the call at all. She sighed and slammed her hand against her forehead. Her heart began to race and she felt trepidation creep up on her as she discovered that the thing she loved was about to be yanked from her again. But she wasn't going to just let that happen. She shook her head and dropped her cooking utensils, heading straight to the living room, she picked up her car keys and dashed to the sofa to pick up her pair of trousers, she threw it on and dashed towards the car. Soon enough, she was driving to the police station. Her phone began to ring as she drove. It was Adrian and she frowned her face for a while, however she decided to answe

Captain Penelope glanced at Blinks from head to toe. “What are you doing in front of my holding cell?” she asked. “Oh, I am the private detective for Mr Richards and he just contacted me that he has been framed. So I wanted to get some information from him and I took permission from the officer at desk,” Blinks said, showing her a tag that indicated he had been passed to see the prisoner. “Why are you arresting my girl,” Adrian asked with a low tone but it couldn't have been mistaken for a growl. He glanced at her with a dead look in his eyes.“I don't speak to assholes,” Captain Penelope said and then opened the cell room pushing Rose in after uncuffing her. She glanced at detective Blinks before shaking her head and walking away. “You protect a man like that? What makes you different from an animal like him! Just let him know, I don't care who he is, he would suffer the wrath of justice even if the world turned over!” She said and walked off. Rose glanced at Adrian and chuckled b

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
