Adrian picked the call in front of Rose not wanting to arouse any suspicions from the girl as there were none. “Hello,” he greeted with a cold tone. “Hey, how have you been? It's been long since you came over, I just wanted to say hi,” she said in a soft voice.“Oh right, Thanks. How is Peniel?” He asked immediately, trying to cut off any attention she thought she had towards him. Sarah was a snake and he wonders why her call always aligned with the moment he was at Rose’s place. “We broke up a long time ago,” she replied succinctly.“Oh, sorry. What happened?” Adrian’s blood was boiling by the second and he felt like he needed to punch someone in the face. Rose paused as she could see his anger. She looked at him and then gesticulated with her hands and fingers. “What is it…?” She signed to him, using her luth too but not speaking, she moved the lips slowly enough for him to read it. “Nothing much, just realized he is just an obnoxiously cruel person,” Sarah replied and Adrian ma

Adrian was seated at his table, going through some videos Mr Anthony had sent him to get him more closure on the subjects attaining to business and all. He was already planning to enroll in a business school but he needed to get some things straight first. For a while he hasn't been free to read or anything, the past few weeks had him scheming and planning. He was thankful that all he had planned worked out well and after the entire event he also got time to spend an entire week with someone that made him happy. He told Mr Anthony that he would be taking a week off from going to Castle and Castle, he has been a bit overwhelmed and also, Blinks advised him to lay low for a while. He was currently in the small supermart he had acquired just to spite his ex-girlfriend and the place turned out to be pretty small. He gets to whatever he wants here with the only hiccup being the overly attachment that Sandra was showing him. He wasn't interested in her and it was getting hard for him to s

Peniel sighed as she gave him that remark. When they’d started dating, he knew she was in a relationship with someone else, but she’d somehow managed to convince him that she was in love with him and he’d believed her. The guy she was in love with then was just an ordinary maid. He had the flex and vibe, so why was she acting this way now. “I just came to ask exactly what I did?” He demanded. He has been going a little bit crazy for a while now and he needed to clear his head. He needed to know exactly what he did wrong, this bitch couldn't just take his money and turn around and leave.“What didn't you do wrong?” She asked, an aura of indignation lacing those words.“I gave you everything you wanted, took you on whatever cruise you asked for and yet you turned from me on a flick, why?” He asked, he was already getting angry by the minute, something was ticking off inside his head, He glanced at her and he realized everything he’d done for her had just gone as a waste, she never once

Adrian and Adeline rushed outside and met everyone standing away from the scene at the center and Adrian could see what was happening very well, his personal assistant reflexively held his hand as she saw what was going on. She glanced at her boss. “What the hell is going on?” He asked. “Beats me,” he replied, not averting his face from the scene. He walked slowly forward and Adeline dragged him back. “That's dangerous,” she looked at him, and he smiled. “I know,” he walked forward anyway and glanced at the two at the center of the chaos. Peniel was holding Sandra with her hair and a knife was being placed on her neck. “You think you can get away with it, you just cooperate and I will not kill you in this instance,” he said with a raging tone. Adrian walked towards them slowly. “Peniel,” he called out. The guy glanced at him, and for the first moment didn't recognize him but after a while he noticed who it was. “You… you this fuckin' ass,” he said. “I lost everything to this swi

The entire scene played out so fast that even Sandra didn't see what happened after she lunged from the grasp of that maniac. She only saw Adrian’s Silhouette as he tossed him against the wall. Peniel laid on the ground unconscious, his face still holding that same contempt he’d walked into the establishment with. The police rushed forward and checked if Peniel was still alive and when they confirmed it, one of them turned to Blinks as the detective was checking out if Adrian and Adeline were okay. The policeman’s tag held the name Whis. He glanced at Blinks with an annoying tone.“Why do you think it is proper for you to just jump into the crime scene and just make decisions yourself,”he said, glancing at him with extreme prejudice.Blinks glanced at him from head to toe and just smiled then turned back to Adeline, he was actually a little bit worried about her as he didn't know where she was when the crime scene happened. Even if it was a bit getting cut can cause infections, if le

The car jolted to a halt and Adeline opened the door and alighted, Sandra doing the same thing. They headed to the police station, walking behind the three policemen as they dragged Adrian and Blinks into the building. The policemen didn't really seem to care about the two of them; they just kept on half dragging and annoying Adrian and Blinks. Adeline knew the only reason they were doing that was because they didn't know who both of them really were. It was easy for them to use their power on civilians without even getting the real context. The officer named Whis was in fact very rude towards Blinks, he kept on pushing him in the head and the detective was just smiling. He knew deep down he was going to get even.“You know all this is your fault right?” Adrian said to Blinks. “Yeah, I didn't think the idiot would pull a gun on me,” Blinks shook his head, he glanced at Whis and chuckled again. He had a whole lot going on in his head. But the one that was actually making him smile wa

Blinks didn't change his expression as he and Adrian walked out of the isolation room and started to head out. They reached the precinct’s work area and Whis was smiling with them and leading them forward. Blinks however paused at a moment and then turned around to Whis. “Next time, it would be your head on a jar,” he told the guy before punching him really hard in the face. Adrian didn't even turn around to check it as he headed towards Sandra and Adeline”s seat. The entire police station glanced at the police officer and didn't say anything. Blinks and Adrian however signaled Adeline and Sandra that it was time for them to leave. They left the station, Adeline a little bit annoyed that Blinks decided to get himself arrested because he was feeling too prideful because he knew they wouldn't do anything to him. “I was about to bring out my ID,* He tried to defend himself but Adrian’s assistant wasn't having it. She was adamant that Blinks was just trying to show off and it landed hi

Chapter Ninety TwoAdrian sat in his car as he parked on the side of the road. He was texting with Rose and he was lost in the conversation. The girl was sending him pictures of several origamis she was making and he was busy commenting on them. The girl was busy just showing off to him and he was enjoying it. “This Origami seems to look like you,” she sent a picture of a human Origami she made that she wrote Adrian on. “Look it even has your name,” she texted. Adrian chuckled. “Oh yeah, how about you show me the one you made for yourself?” He texted back. “Nope, not until you come, I have a surprise for you,” she explained and after a while she sent a picture of herself but her face was covered in her blonde face. Adrain didn't think he’s enjoyed texting as much in his life. Everything she did just made him smile and chuckle. He was filled with an unexplainable sense of ease and joy. Rose brought so much into his life that every time he thought about leaving her, he felt like thr

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’
Chapter 184
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
