Adrian glanced up at his mom and smiled, she was in a serene mood. She had a cup of coffee by her side and she had a magazine in her hand. This was the kind of magazine that she usually read when she was at peace with herself. Adrian guessed coming back to town with an elevated purpose made her feel more at home. She usually came to the haughty remarks of the lady Barbara but that woman dare not try any nonsense with his mom now. He would bury her far down the seven hells… he stopped thinking and then smiled at his mom."Yeah," Adrian replied, taking a seat across from her. "Rose is heading out of town for a racing competition."Hailey raised an eyebrow, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Racing, huh? She always was full of surprises."Adrian nodded, feeling a sense of pride in Rose's adventurous spirit. But there was a heaviness in his chest, an unease that he couldn't quite shake off."Mom, there’s something I’ve been meaning to talk about," Adrian said, leaning forward.

Adrian sat up in bed, the echo of his unsettling dream still lingering in the back of his mind. The phone call from Blinks had been a wake-up call in more ways than one, but now, after a few minutes of quiet contemplation, he realized it was time to meet Kevin. A week had passed since they met him and it was time for him to bring them to the mastermind.He reached for his phone, dialing Blinks’ number. The line clicked after only one ring. “Adrian?” Blinks’ voice was alert, ready.“It’s time to meet Kevin,” Adrian said, his voice steady. “Right, that's why I called, I am already here,” Blinks replied. “But I am guessing we will need to go back to my place, I forgot to pick ammunition, we might need it,”he explained.There was a brief pause on the other end, then Blinks let out a short, grim chuckle. “You really think it’s going to come to that?”Blinks didn’t hesitate. “I’m not taking any chances. After what we’ve been through, I’d rather be prepared.”“Fair enough,” Adrian replied.

Adrian and Blinks drove to the police station with both of them silent, they were both pondering about the day's events. Soon enough they arrived at the station and they stepped inside.. Officers moved about, phones rang, and the low murmur of voices filled the air. It was business as usual.Ramsey rushed towards the receptionist desk and led them to the Captain's office immediately without speaking. The office was weirdly decorated and Adrian noticed this as soon as they entered. It was almost empty, save for the cupboard at the edge of the room and the fridge at the other end. Then the rest of the room was filled with feathers. "Ramsey, Blinks," she said, her voice firm and no-nonsense. “Adrian?” She rolled her eyes. “ Let's get to the point.""Of course," Ramsey replied, his tone respectful but tense. He turned to Adrian and Blinks. "We've been tracking Kevin's movements, but it seems he left town a day ago. We managed to talk to a few neighbors, and they said he was in a hurry. A

Adrian stared at the small plant Harley pointed out, the weight of her words sinking in. This was the poison that killed Mr. Brooks? The idea that something so tiny could be so lethal was unsettling. He sighed the image of his father in that hidden room coming vividly to his mind. He didn't necessarily care about the man per say but that was still his father and he wondered if he’d just coincidentally found a way to save that man’s life."So, is there any way to make an antidote for this?" he asked, still processing the event.Harley nodded, but there was a seriousness in her expression that told Adrian it wouldn’t be easy. "I’d need more of this plant to even start. And it’s not just any plant, it's rare. We are lucky to have found it here."Adrian swallowed, his mind racing. "You think there’s more of it around?""Could be," Harley replied. "It's mostly dispersed by insects, I don't think that they just dispersed one of it here. Since it is unnoticeable at first glance we should be

Adrian watched as Ada’s face contorted in rage. She walked towards Adrian in shock and anger as if she hadn't expected him to say something like that. She expected it all to go smoothly with her controlling the narrative but she realized that this man wasn't one to be trifled with. When she looked into his eyes, there was barely any sign of life present. “If anything happens to my child,” she hissed, her voice sharp and venomous, “I will kill you, Adrian. I swear it.”Adrian’s expression remained calm, even as her words hung heavily in the air. “And if anything happens to Rose or my mother,” he replied evenly, “you’ll die too. Simple as that.”For a moment, they stood there, their eyes focused on each other, the tension between them thick as ice. Ada’s breathing was heavy and uneven. She didn't expect this from him so she was trying to process what the hell was happening. Adrian, on the other hand, was composed, his mind working quickly to assess the situation. He had just improvised

Adrian took a taxi to Harley's lab, his mind racing. The confrontation with Ada was still fresh in his thoughts, but he pushed it aside. Right now, the antidote was his priority. He arrived at the lab in record time, parking haphazardly before striding inside.He glanced at the Brooks' mansion and sighed before he left. He didn't want to leave Rose’s side but he had to. This was important, really important, if this woman was right it would mean he can save his father. He wasn't doing this because he was his father, but with that man back, it would mean Lazzaro would shrink back. Although something scared Adrian more than he wanted to admit, what if he could bring back the CEO but then, he turns on him. What if he and his mom had to go back to living as slaves. He sighed and on the ride, he decided to call his mother. “Hello ma,” he spoke the moment she picked the call, itching his hand in nervousness. “Hey son, what's wrong?” Her tone held immediate concern, it was like she could f

Adrian, Blinks, and Anthony waited in silence as the elevator hummed, ascending several floors. Anthony led the way, his usually calm demeanor replaced by a sense of urgency. The fact that there was a chance that Mr Brooks could come back was enough to get everyone on edge. When they reached the secret floor, Anthony pressed a series of buttons on the wall, revealing a hidden door that slide open with a soft hiss. Inside, Mr. Brooks' hibernated body lay suspended in a transparent tank filled with a light-blue fluid. Multiple monitors were connected to him, their rhythmic beeping the only sound in the room.“This is it,” Anthony said quietly, his voice tinged with the gravity of the situation. “He’s been in this state since the incident. We’ve done everything we can to keep him stable, but with that antidote, we might actually be able to speed up his recovery rate.”Adrian’s eyes scanned the setup, taking in the wires, tubes, and medical equipment. His father looked peaceful, almost a

Adrian and Blinks exchanged a quick glance as they entered the dimly lit room where Lazzaro sat, a calm smile playing on his lips. The room was sparse, with a single table and three chairs. Lazzaro gestured for them to sit, his demeanor almost inviting. He dressed a little bit more flamboyantly than he usually did. He wore a gold rolex and his suit was obviously custom made. For the first time ever Adrian could feel what was driving Lazzaro, it wasn't greed or selfishness, it was just the want to dominate. "Please, make yourselves comfortable," Lazzaro said warmly, as if they were old friends catching up rather than rivals entangled in a deadly game. Adrian hesitated for a moment, then took a seat, Blinks following suit."It’s been quite the journey, hasn’t it?" Lazzaro began, leaning back in his chair. "I’ve been watching you both for some time now, and I think it’s about time we had a little talk. You see, I believe the time has come for you to give up this charade and join me. Tog

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
