Huns sat in his office waiting expectantly for something. His fingers were constantly rapping against the surface of the desk and he was very much uneasy. It seemed whatever he was waiting for was very important and couldn't afford to be delayed.Just then he heard two knocks on the door and he couldn't help but feel relieved. He wanted to get up and open the door but realized that he was getting way excited about the whole thing. He needed to keep his behavior in check so that other people wouldn't suspect that something was amiss."Come in," he said in a crispy voice which sounded as if there was rust in his throat. He nudged at his white suit a few times before waiting for the other party to come into the office.It was a delivery man wearing a face cap. He was holding a package and his face was lowered as if he didn't want anyone to see his face. He closed the door behind him immediately and then walked to Huns who was still seated behind the desk."I hope it's the right one?" Hun

Adrian drove a car to the Brooks Mansion and parked it there. This car didn't actually belong to him as it was lent out to him by Blinks, his trusty bodyguard. As he stepped out of the car and looked at the familiar environment he couldn't help but have several daunting memories flood his mind. They were memories about how he had been maltreated in this mansion when he had been living there. He’d just been away from here for about a week and it felt tiring to be back here."Such is life," Adrian couldn't help but shake his head as he took a deep breathe and stepped into the mansion.Sitting in a recliner was a man in his early thirties. He was reading a magazine when Adrian walked towards him. His expression immediately turned sour as he stood to welcome Adrian. It was as if there was some sort of hidden animosity between the two of them and it seemed that this animosity was unspoken.Raymond's thoughts were daunting, he couldn't believe that Adrian was now someone capable of sitting

As the sun set slowly over the city and day's final breath escaped, the sky was set aflame, a kaleidoscope of colors dancing across the horizon. Soft whispers of orange and yellow hues caressed the sky, gentle as a lover's touch.As the sun's descent continued, pink and blush tones unfolded like a rose in bloom, deepening into rich hues that seemed to pulse with a life of their own. The sky was ablaze with an ethereal glow, as though the very heavens were afire.In the common room of his newly refurbished house, Desmond sat at a coffee table with his friend, a bottle of champagne and a party glass in his hand. He twirled the half empty glass in his finger while listening to his friend ranted about the company and its fate..He drowned most of his friend’s talk in a light swig of champagne; Lady Hargreaves on the other hand had barely touched hers. She was too busy with what she was saying. “You haven’t touched your glass yet.” He noted but in a jovial tone.“This isn’t the time for t

“To be a successful business owner, you must first…” A feminine voice from Adrian’s laptop spoke.Adrian sat alone in his office with nothing but his laptop and a mug of coffee to keep him company. He went online and searched for videos with the tag ‘How to run a successful business.’ Multiple responses came up on his screen. He picked the first video he saw and sat with it for a while while taking sips of coffee to keep his senses sharp. He was anxious about his new position in the business so he wanted to be sure he was on the right track.He took a break from the videos and got up to stare out the window. He took one more sip of coffee then sighed. He continued looking out the window, though he was lost in thought. The sound of his phone ringing jolted him back to reality as he flinched in shock. One look at the caller ID and he was even more surprised.The ID read Lady Hargreaves, the very person who he was sure, at this point, had very low opinion of him. “What does she want with

It was afternoon and the sun was shining glaringly across the sky. There were no clouds and the blue in it stretched like tapestries.Huns could be seen driving his car across the highway towards Hargreaves' house. He had set his plan in motion and needed a little polishing for it to become truly successful. In order to become a member of the board he had planted the poison vial in Desmond's house. Later the poison vial was found with Desmond and he was framed for killing Brooks.He soon arrived in Hargreaves' residence and parked his car as usual before alighting it. The environment was very serene as if no one lived in the house. But that was not the case because he new what kind of person Hargreaves was. She was someone who didn't like so much noise and disorientation. So her place was naturally very quiet and neat. She didn't even have any maids or servants running around.Huns pressed the doorbell and soon a soft voice answered him from inside the sitting room to come in. He gentl

Adrian sat down in his office chair, his hands folded in thoughts, he was meditating and he was so deep in his own head that he could barely notice what was going on in the outside world. He needed to figure out how to get Desmond out of prison and he had no idea how. He went to meet Blinks a day before and the detective was telling him that they were filing a sure case against the man. They wanted to proceed to court hearings as soon as possible, once that happened Adrian didn't think he could save Mr Desmond anymore and he doubted if the man could still save himself. He needed to think of something as quickly as possible. He began to analyze the events slowly in his mind. “Okay,” he muttered under his breath, “let's start from the beginning,” he said to himself. Adeline, who was in front of him, working on paperwork glanced up, looking at him curiously before shaking her head to continue her work. He has been mumbling like that all day and it was getting on her nerves. Adrian, how

Adrian and Adeline immediately rushed out of the office. They needed to get to Hargreaves and tell her everything immediately. After discovering that Dr. Huns was actually trying to kill Desmond in the cell they were so troubled that they became instantly restless. If they didn't do anything about it then Desmond was going to lose his life.Adrian wouldn't allow something like that and that was why he needed to tell Hargreaves as fast as fast. He trusted her that she would be able to do something about the situation since she was more influential than him and even had more experience in this."I can't believe Huns can go to this extent just to become a board member," Adeline said to Adrian in the car. "I mean, this is really shocking to me."Adeline had always thought that Dr. Huns was only holding Desmond in a cell just to use him as a bargaining chip. He thought that Dr. Huns had wanted to use Desmond's release to secure the position of board member. But now that Adrian had told him

Blinks got up from his chair immediately after receiving the call from Adrian and he began to dress up, he needed to head to bed holding cell. He knew Adrian was a very meticulous person and he probably had been thinking about the whole situation for a long time and if he drew that conclusion, with the little time he’d known the guy he was completely right. He put on his all black suit and put on a bullet proof vest. He then clicked three buttons on his wardrobe and the wooden structure flipped backwards to reveal a rack of guns. He picked up two Glock 9s. He then fitted it into their hostlers. If anyone was going to try and take out a man as powerful as Desmond, they were probably in the cell with him beforehand or it was the police trying to serve him poison. Either way he needed to be ready. He brought two painkiller syringes. A bottle that contained neutralizers for multiple poisonous toxins and he also picked up two daggers, in case he needed to fight without making a sound. He

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
