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

Adrian surges awake in a white room and soon enough he discovers he was in a hospital. Everything felt fuzzy once again like he’d been smashed with a crowbar on the side of the head. He sat up from the hospital bed and he realized he really had been. Someone had infiltrated the office and wanted to get to the top of the building for whatever reason. Then he remembered that Blinks didn't chase the man down and instead came back to help him. Normally he should have gone for the most direct response which was to get the culprit, it wasn't as if he would die from one hit of a crowbar. He got down from his bed and removed the heart monitor from his chest and then checked his clothes. They were still intact although he hated how they were now and wanted to change out of them. The latter opened the door and headed outside. Just as he was walking a doctor met him on his way and stopped him. “Sir, you are not supposed to be outside, you suffered a severe concussion and you need to rest for

Blinks drove as fast as he could and it could be said at the moment that the car was flying. They were an hour out from where his mom lived as it was another city entirely. Neither of them spoke as they drove towards one of the secluded areas of the road.Due to it being a shortcut, Blinks drifted into it and they were on. However as they were moving a car suddenly jumped onto the road smashing their car as it got wrecked. The air bag popped protecting the two as the collision happened. “They are going to try and kill us,” Blinks advised and told Adrian to get off from the other side of the vehicle. The latter nodded and landed rolled out despite feeling a throbbing headache. Blinks also crawled out and just as he was out, multiple gunshots were opened on the car and bullets began to ricochet off metals. Adrian crawled forward, him and Blinks hadn't planned for this and they hadn't brought any weapon. “Well well,” one of the shooters who have come around the car smiled, looking at t

Adrian was pacing back and forth while Raymond was seated with his hands folded. Ever since Adrian got the information that Rose, his wife, had been abducted he hadn't been alright. Not being alright was an understatement because right now he was feeling crazy. It was as if something in him had been triggered and that was very much okay. This was the reaction someone who truly loved his wife was supposed to have. What other way would someone feel if his wife had been abducted to an unknown place?Currently he was seated at Blinks' place and he had made it very clear that he was going to find out the location where Rose was being held. It wasn't as if that eased Adrian's feeling of restlessness but he was reassured. At least he was going to know where Rose was being kept and rush there to save her once it got to that."Pacing like that makes me very disturbed," Raymond finally said to Adrian after watching him pace for a very long period of time. "You should ease it already. Doing that

"Come on!" Ramsey yelled as he waved his right hand and pointed towards a nearby car. "Let's go there!"The others immediately followed as more gunshots rang out and bullets wheeze through the air. Pattering sounds could be heard as the bullets crashed into the spot where they had been earlier. Several bullets even wheeze past Adrian's face. It was Blinks who pulled him on time if not he would have been already shot in the face."What's going on today?!" Adrian couldn't help but asked as he panted. He wanted to look at the people who were shooting but gunshots were coming from that direction. If he tried anything funny by looking there, his face would be decorated by bullets. It wouldn't be the best decoration anybody in his right senses would want.Rose was in the worst condition as she grabbed Adrian very tightly and buried her face into her chest as she shivered in fear. Nobody wanted to be caught in a gunfire as it was terrifying. Even soldiers at times found it terrifying."I'm g

It was simple to discover who’d caused all this commotion as they were working with three people who understood pattern recognition and that was Blinks, Penelope and Ramey. All of them had experience in dealing with criminals and catching them.Penelope had managed to take pictures of the shooters and Blinks had done the same thing back at their house. They’d sat down together to make an alignment. Well, as it would seem three of the shooters held tattoos that actually matched each other.They’d then shown the other people the tattoo and Adrian recognized it, he’d seen it on Kevin before and that was the simple way they linked them together. Adrian walked away from their midst signaling to Rose as the girl frollowed him to a secluded part of the house. “Hey you okay,” he asked as soon as they were alone. “Yep,” she nodded. “This isn't my first rodeo, trust me,” she said with a smile. “You are used to being almost blown up?” He asked. “Yes!” She chuckled. “I was kidnapped as a kid

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
