Adrian hurried to shake his head. “I swear I didn't do it! I would never hit Layla," He turned to his wife. "Tell him, Layla, tell the truth! Why are you even doing this to me?” Layla looked up with teary, mischievous eyes. "Officers, that bastard threatened to kill me if I kept on insisting that he sign the divorce papers," Her sobbing grew louder. "I'm tired of this abusive marriage. Adrian is a monster!” "Officers, what are you still doing when you should be arresting this murderer?!" Adrian froze immediately as his body recognized that voice. He turned around slowly to stare into the burning eyes of his long-lost brother, Ryan. What?! Ryan was back after all these years? Not only that, he had called the police on him? Great news or terrible news? ****** Adrian's once perfect life comes crashing down when Layla, the woman he loved and cherished so much orchestrated a lie to throw him into jail due to the return of her ex boyfriend, Ryan.

Chapter 1: Kicked Out.
"I'm sorry to bother you sir, but if you don't want to order something else, I suggest you leave. This table needs to be cleared for another customer,"Adrian looked up from his glass of wine to the waitress who was trying so hard to maintain a smile. He exhaled deeply, trying to recollect his thoughts."Sir…"Adrian didn't reply, instead, his eyes shifted to the papers in his slightly shaky hands. It was divorce papers that his wife, Layla had persisted him to sign for a week now.One might think that he should be grateful for an opportunity to finally get out of a toxic marriage where he wasn't receiving any peace of mind. But Adrian felt different. He felt that it was still possible for Layla to change the way she felt towards him.To Layla, their marriage was just a business merger between their families. He was not even the husband she was supposed to marry. She was supposed to marry his handsome, perfect brother, Ryan, but when he disappeared on the day of their wedding, she had

Adrian staggered at the force of the blow. Pain shot through his body and he scoffed as thick liquid dripped from his lips. When his hands felt it, he saw blood —his blood. Lifting his eyes to stare at Ryan's red ones, he chuckled lightly. “What? Are you that pissed?”“Stop messing with me, Adrian. I'm fucking warning you,” Ryan spat, his eyes red.“You messed with me first, or have you forgotten? My life shattered the moment you sent me to prison. Shouldn't you be tormented too, so you know how it feels?”"Fuck you! Stop messing around with my family or I'll do more than break your fucking nose!"“You're negotiating with me? Nice. It's been a while I saw you this submissive yet furious. It looks good on you,” Adrian smiled.“You bastard!” Ryan hissed and punched Adrian again across the face. He was about to throw the second punch when Adrian retaliated by kicking him in the knees.“Gone are the times you laid fingers on me. Don't ever do that again or you'll regret it,”“What're you

“Wh…what did you just say?” The brunette gasped.“You mocked me for not being able to afford a car. I want you to prove how rich you are,”“B...but I don't have any money,” She winced.“Then you should have thought of that before looking down on me. Whose fault is it that you're trapped in this mess?”“I'm sorry—” She spluttered as heavy tears clogged up in her chest. Now it was her turn to beg and revel at his feet. If only she knew not to have treated him the way she did.“How about you? Have you made your decision?” Adrian drawled lazily as he turned to Layla. When she didn't respond, he motioned to the officers. “Seems she's not interested in my deal. Arrest her,”“No…! No! I'll do it,” Layla shouted, running in front of Adrian. “I'll slap myself, I'll do anything, just don't make my restaurant close down,”Layla swallowed heavily as a sense of fear paralysed her. She was sweating everywhere now. The sweat trickled from her face, soaking her blouse as her lungs clammed against eac

Gasp!Layla's blood crashed in her ears until all she could hear was the loud roar of her pulse. Her skin crawled in dread and she took a fearful step back as chills ran through her spine. No…no…no…this couldn't be happening. Cold sweat broke down on her face trickling to her blouse and she swallowed nervously, struggling to maintain a calm expression.As the officers advanced towards her, she jerked backward. “No, don't touch me! I called you here to arrest a person and you want to arrest me instead?! Is that how you behave?”“Can we have a look at the surveillance cameras? Let's know if Mr Adrian here is guilty of trespassing or if this is just a ploy by you to dent his reputation,” The head officer said, cutting her short. Layla swallowed, hating how trapped she felt. She couldn't breathe. The air suddenly felt suffocating. “Y…you…well you cannot just barge—”“Have you suddenly forgotten the work of the police? They fish out bad eggs, Layla,” Adrian smiled wryly, enjoying the loo

Adrian scoffed, about to speak when Layla leaned closer to place a finger on his lips, shushing him. Her lips thinned into a mocking smile as she stared at him like a burger she was so desperate to consume.“I can forgive you on one condition. Go on your knees, call me mummy three times. Then after that, proceed to wash the dishes here for a month, part time,” She chuckled. “Washing the dishes shouldn't be a big deal for you considering how you used that and even more when we were married,”Disgust curling over him, Adrian pushed her off him. “You've gone insane. Don't be stupid Layla. I'll put you in your place,”“Go ahead,” She curled a hand across her chest. “You think I'm afraid of you? Nah, I've grown past that. I won't stop, Adrian. I won't ever stop until I see you at your worst,”“I know you're desperate, but you can never beat me,”“Go ahead and apologize, one?” Layla said, raising a pinky finger in the air. Seeing that Adrian didn't budge, she scoffed and continued. “Apologi

For no particular reason at all, the woman's words riled up something in Adrian— something he thought he'd forgotten and buried forever—the betrayal, traumas and hurt from his past, and the reason why he was thrown into prison unjustly.As he remembered, his eyes narrowed dangerously at the woman and all he wanted to do was choke the stupidity out of her. Honestly, this attitude of hers was so irritating and the more he stared at her, the more his skin crawled I'm disgust.“Apologize to the woman at once! Or do you want to beat her up?!” A man yelled, gulping down his bottle of white wine.“Look at the way he's glaring at her. What an insolent bastard!”“He lacks home training. I blame it on his parents. They should be ashamed of raising a son like this!”Adrian's face turned purple, and not able to hold his anger, he grabbed the woman by the wrist and pressed tightly. She winced in pain and tried to pull away, but Adrian held on tighter.“Wh…what the hell are you doing?!” She whisper

The next day, Adrian released a deep sigh as he ended the call with Felix. His stomach rumbled and realizing he had not eaten anything since morning, he yawned and picked up his office keys.However, the door opened before him and his secretary walked in with a slight bow. She handed the documents in her hands to him. “Good afternoon sir. This is the report of our merged collaboration with Mr Domenico. Our stock prices has risen by 10% in the last two hours,"Adrian collected the file, glanced at it for a second before laying it aside on the table. “Good job, Rose.” He patted her on the shoulder and walked towards the door. “I'm out for the day. Cancel all my appointments,”“Yes Sir,”Outside, Adrian climbed into his Lamborghini and ordered the chauffeur to move the car. Few minutes later, they arrived at a high-end restaurant and Adrian walked in to satisfy his cravings.He settled into a chair and signalled to a waitress. The middle-aged brunette walked up to him with a menu, but he

Ryan chuckled nervously, feeling his chest tighten in trepidation. He clenched his jaws as he waited in front of the office, each ticking second adding to his frustration. He had been here for more than a week now yet Domenico was always refusing to see him. It didn't make sense.His company was falling and if he didn't do something about it, he'd go back to the trenches —not something he was looking forward to. He had to sell that Layla's land with immediate effect.Gosh, the frustration was driving him crazy!Just then, the door to the office opened and he jerked to his feet in anticipation. At the sight of Domenico's secretary, he waved a hand and hurried towards her with a forced smile. “Hello, is Mr Javier free for a meeting now? I'd like to see him. It's important,”The blondie sent him a small frown, accessing him for a moment. Then she shook her head in dismissal. “No, he isn't available at the moment. Come back when you have an appointment,”Ryan's forehead tightened into a s

“Nice doing business with you, Mr Adrian. Please do come around next time,” The bank manager smiled as he stood up to wrap Adrian's hand in a firm handshake.“You're welcome. Thank you for your assistance,” Adrian replied.“And you too, miss. I'm glad to have you,” The bank manager said to Paige who smiled sweetly, uttering a thank you in response.“That's exactly how to do business,” Paige muttered as they walked out of the Manager's office. “Did you notice how calm and professional he was? We need more business owners like that in this country,” She looked up at him. “What do you think about appreciating him?”Adrian's brows narrowed. “Appreciating him? What do you mean?”“Maybe we could send in an anonymous tip of hardwork to his account. It'll encourage him to do even more better with his job ethics,”Adrian thought for a while, before he nodded. “That sounds like a nice idea. I'll do that when I get to the office,”“Thank you!” She shrieked, and was about to say another word when

The man forced a nervous chuckle, surprised at the question. “W–what do you mean, sir,”“Are you kidding me? You want me to pay for a damaged car? What happened to the VIP that already priced the car? I bet he has no idea what he has gotten himself into,” Adrian said, sarcasm bleeding from his tone.The man scratched his head. “Erhm…the client, he just sent a message saying he was no longer interested in the car,”Adrian chuckled. This had to be the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard today. “And so because he's no longer interested in the car, you want to force the sales on me? How very smart of you. I'm impressed,”“Not only did you insult us, you connived with your sales lady to ridicule and embarrass us, judging us by your low standards. Now instead of a proper apology, you want us to purchase a damaged car? Do we now look rich in your eyes? I thought you said we couldn't afford a $8 Million Bugatti? What changed? You suddenly grew a brain?”The man bit his tongue at the sharp
