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

Rose glanced at Adrian with a scrutinizing gaze. She didn't know he knew that many people. Penelope glanced at both of them. “Justice will prevail!” The captain said with anger and began to walk away. Rose chuckled. “Justice will prevail you say? Of course it will, the victors will decide what is justice,” she clapped back!The woman glanced back at her. “You think because you are wealthy you can do an undo? You think you are the pinnacle of law and justice? I will have you know that I am different and I have come to cleanse this city! Trust me, this time around you have bitten more than you can chew!” Adrian chuckled. “Is it the job of a police to make conclusions without any justifiable evidence? You took one side of the story and you inserted the complex of everything else you have seen into it,” he shook his head. “You turned me into an oppressor, the villain of your own dreams because I fit a description. You never bothered to check your facts, see if there is any lie to a see

Adrian didn't have enough direct evidence connecting him to the rape to detain him. It seemed Sandra wasn't as meticulous as she thought she was. Ramsey had managed to actually go through the files and found enough loopholes to grant him access to a bail. Although the man was relieved of his duties, the police couldn't overlook an investigative evidence brought in by a private investigator that was affiliated to the government. In fact Blinks was no ordinary Private investigator, he was more of a Special investigator who had more monotony as compared to others. He was once in the ! military and went on to two tours before coming back to resume job as a police officer where Mr Brooks found him and took him in due t0o his ability to figure out things most men wouldn't even take a glance at. This has led Blinks to be opportune enough to save the lives of multiple state governors and other government officials from a terrorist attack and had also saved Mr Brooks life. When he created hi

Adrian sat down beside Adeline and Rose who was still in a bad mood for some reason as they drove towards the hospital. Linda was also seated in the front seat and holding in her hand a piece of paper that contained a sack letter for Sandra. Since she has seen the video she’s been fuming, as it would turn out, this girl has actually been a thorn in Adrian's side since day one and she wondered why she just wanted to ruin him. She couldn't comprehend that level of hate. And now that she can actually do something to her, she wanted to hurt her in a bad way. It was more of vengeance than justice and she wasn't afraid she felt like that.Ever since Adrian was a boy all he wanted was for everyone to have a peaceful and happy life and for some reason everyone else he’s shown this love have only wanted him to be in pain for whatever reason, they didn't like him nor did they ever treat him with respect.

They walked down to the ward at which Sandea was and Adrian pushed open the door while the others waited outside. As he pushed the door open, he met Captain Penelope seated by the girl's bedside. She glanced at him. “What the hell are you doing here?” The woman asked. “Why would they allow an oppressor to come in an threaten the victim?” She asked and was about to scream for security when Adrian stopped her. “Please, enough. I just wanted to speak to my ex-girlfriend after her plan to frame me exploded exponentially!” He chuckled. Sandra glanced at him with a deathlike gaze. “I only came here to give you a chance. Apologize, come clean and I will make all this go away smoothly and although I don't think you would have your job anymore but you will at least be living a cool life,” he explained. “or, you can keep lying to that officer that is believing every story you cook up and I will personally see to it that you get the justice you deserve,” Adrian said. Sandra smiled. “Well, I a

Blinks was the kind of man who knew a talent and a seal when he saw one. He always relied on his hunch and his hunch told him that Penelope was the right person for the job. He already knew how the entire issue with Adrian would go and he had been planning on getting help for a while. “I am not in the mood, so fuck off!” She yelled at him and then began to walk the other way. “I need you to help me investigate a murder and all you do is walk away?” He asked. “Maybe you are not as tough as I thought you were. You always thought you were the girl who gets the job done when everyone else is missing, but it turns out you are like everyone else, just someone who can't take a punch!” He said. “Life throws you down once and you can't get back up, cause you have to go cry to daddy first!” He screamed.She stopped midway. “Don't ever talk about my father! Never in your life!” She said , staring him in the eyes angrily! I don't care what you think you are or who you think you are, you don't s

It has been exactly seven days since Adrian was exonerated from prison and Sandra was handed multiple charges and was now in jail. Currently he was at his computer just typing things off without any reasoning as he was very unfocused at the moment. He needed to rest but he couldn't, just all the entire work he had to do was way too bulky and Adrian was the guy who didn't like leaving any work for granted. It was already One o’clock in the morning and he was still at work. He sighed as he continued to check out multiple transactions making sure they were all kept balanced. He was still focused when his computer beeps on something. He glanced at it and discovered that the security log had been tripped. He clicked the warning sign displayed and it was obvious that someone was in the building, the person whoever they are was now coming up through the elevator. Adrian stood up immediately and took his phone and dialed Blinks' number, he wasn't risking anything. “Hello,” he said immediat

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
