Christabel emerged from the taxi when it arrived at the rental apartment building. After paying the taxi driver, she turned and looked at the building. She frowned. This was Brian's old apartment building. She wondered where Brian lived now. Probably somewhere rich. Hmph, lucky him. She thought. She tucked some strands of hair behind before walking in. She climbed the stairs to the next floor and headed to apartment 25 and knocked on the door. "I'll be there in a minute." Margaret's voice responded from inside. Some minutes later, the door opened. "Welcome, Christa." Margaret beamed at her. Christabel became dumbstruck at Margaret's new appearance. Her dark skin seemed to have become lighter, almost fair. Her hairstyle was now a round afro hairstyle. Makeup beautified her face greatly. Two gold round earrings hung on her ears and she wore a crop top and bum shorts. "Are you coming in?" Margaret's voice snapped out of her daze. "Uh...yeah." Christabr got a hold of her

Hip-hop music blasted from Richard's car stereo, lightening up the mood as he drove the Mercedes Benz. Brian sat next to the driver's seat while the rest of them – Melanie, Charlene, and Dalton – sat at the back Except for the music, the car was silent as it made its journey to Wesville. Brian wondered what awaited him at the manor. He was elated to see his mother but what of his father? He hadn't spoken to him for about a month. Wouldn't it be awkward? How would he get along with him? He was also nervous about the reaction of his father's men and workers towards him. Melanie told him his father had a lot of men working for him. Would they like and accept him as the heir? Not that they had a choice but he wanted them to accept him in their free will. What would they think of him? That he was weak and unfit to be the heir of the family? He ran his hand on his face and puffed. This was overwhelming. "Hey, see this," Charlene called his attention towards her. "Look at what you c

Richard walked up to him and patted Brian's shoulder. "Welcome to the Addams Manor, kiddo." Brian gazed with amazement. How can this magnificence be secluded in an isolated place like this? No one should be deprived of this magnificence. It's like walking into a castle. "Brian, your jaw is practically on the ground," Richard told him. Brian closed his mouth before drool could slide out. "This is amazing." He couldn't believe he was going to own this one day. "Yeah. I'll give you a tour around tomorrow. Let's go in. Everyone must be waiting for us." They walked past the hedges to the front door. It was a large double gold metal door with a lion's face design on it. Two guards stood beside the door. They opened the door for them to walk into the entrance hallway. The hallway was large, and dimly lit, with a red carpet covering the floor. The left wall held portraits of abstract art while the right displayed portraits of different men. Brian guessed the men were from the Addams

"You have a nice manor," Brian remarked as they made their way upstairs. Edward hummed. "Hmm-mmm. I built this one since our last one was destroyed." "Destroyed? How?" "Bombing." Brian paused as his mind processed something. "Was it the bombing that...killed our family?" Edward nodded. Brian pursed his lips and remained silent. Edward started. "Well, there are lots of rooms in the house, so let's get started. Brian agreed. Starting from the top, Edward began the tour in the manor. He showed him the rooftop which had a low brick wall around it to prevent anyone from falling. Then he proceeded inside and showed him each room. The top floor occupied his study. It was just like the study at Richard's mansion, only that this one was wider and had more books. After the study was the weapons room, where weapons, mostly guns, were kept. Brian was amazed by the sight of the different types of guns – revolvers, pistols, revolvers, shotguns, and the like – hung on hooks attache

The backyard wasn't your typical backyard, whether common or wealthy. It was more like a military training area.The backyard was filled with different training equipment and facilities. It was like an outdoor version of the training rooms, only wider. Edward said this was the main training area, where everyone comes to train together. The area was brimming with training activities. Different groups trained in different areas, either hand-to-hand combat, sword fighting, gun shooting, and the rest. There were about twenty people in the area now.The perimeter of the training area was marked out by one-step bricks. Beyond the training area, two buildings were constructed, one in each corner of the fence. Brian noticed that the building on the left was too small for someone to do anything inside. Two guards stood by this building.Brian followed Edward as he walked behind the row of Grey Guardians practicing gun shooting. None of them missed their target dummies. They seemed so good at

Upon hearing Brian's voice, the men snapped their heads towards the door instantly. Their eyes widened when they saw the person they tried to kidnap a month ago. The same person that landed them here. The one he was looking at stood up and went forward a bit. Brian recognized him as the leader."Please, pardon us, sir. We didn't know you were part of a mafia." He started pleading. The men thought they were mafias."He isn't just part of us. He's my son." Edward deadpanned, with a stern face. Their eyes widened even more. They tried to kidnap the mafia boss's son? Uh oh!"We are...we are sorry. Please, have mercy on us.""Tell him what you told us," Edward ordered."Huh?""Who sent you to kidnap him?" "We already told you."Edward hardened his expression. "Don't make me get the whip." The leader flinched. His body hadn't recovered from the last beating he was given. He started revealing. "OK, OK. We don't know who the person was because he was masked. He gave us your picture and

Several days passed by in the manor and Brian settled into the routine that almost seemed normal, counting out the part of training with weapons. Brian helped with some company work in Edward's study. He learned a lot about the L.A.K.E conglomerate in the process, its net worth, some of the companies under it, and other things.After helping out, he joined the other men in the training area. Arata decided to take over Charlene and Melanie's teaching session. Arata was an amazing teacher and in no time, Brian learned a lot about gun shooting and was starting to learn sword fighting. Arata also taught him some martial skills that Brian suspected were Japanese. They were amazing nonetheless. Brian got along with everyone in the manor and made some friends out of them, although he kept some distance from the Butterflies. Brian also got along with his father gradually while they worked. Edward occasionally taught him all he needed to know about being the heir of the Addams family. Bri

A/N Hey readers. Lynxx is back with updates. I'm sincerely sorry for the lack of updates for the past few days. I don't want to lie. The reason is I've been feeling a bit lazy and my workload was much. But seeing the number of new readers I had now made me feel guilty about it. Hope you can forgive me, please? I was also stockpiling chapters for February, so I can assure you (not promising though) that there will be daily and regular updates in February. If possible two chapters per day. So there won't be many updates in the remaining months of January but there will be in December. Lynxx is no longer lazy, readers. Thanks, y'all who stayed. It means so much. If you've read the previous chapter before this one, you might want to remove this book from your library and add it again. I made a change to that chapter. Don't worry about the chapters you paid for. They'll remain unlocked. I made this chapter free for you. Enjoy, y'all.Mwaah. ******* Brian stared at the photo in be

Chapter Seventy
"SURPRISE." Brian's heart skipped as applause and cheers filled his ears. He blinked repeatedly and looked. The living room was crowded with a lot of people, at least two dozen and they were all clapping and cheering. Edward and Rosanna stood in front of them with smiles on their face. Conan was behind them, grinning. About two dozen of Nightbirds, Gray Guardians, and Butterflies also filled the room. Brian looks around. There was a line of flag pennants attached to the ceiling, together with flags with letters forming the word, "Happy Coronation." "Welcome home, honey." Rosanna stepped forward and hugged Brian. "I...you guys didn't have to throw a welcome home party for me," Brian said after they separated. "This is not a welcome home party, silly." Rosanna laughed softly. "What is it then?" Edward stepped forward to explain. "Well, it's the tradition of the Addams to celebrate the heir of the family on their eighteenth birthday. Kinda like an heir coronation. But with the gi
Chapter Sixty-nine
Brian became dumbstruck after Lana dropped the bombshell. Charlene's mouth hung open, Melanie covered hers while Dalton was the one who spoke in astonishment. "She's-what now?" "The person that called said she tried to carry out an abortion, but...it..." Tears streamed out of her eyes. Brian didn't need the complete statement to understand. His ex-girlfriend was dead. Alexia Baker was gone from this world forever. Brian exhaled deeply. Perhaps, if he was still dating her he would have burst into tears and rushed to the hospital like an insane person to hug her corpse and cry harder. But he didn't do that. His sadness for her death wasn't overwhelming. She wasn't worth his tears. But that didn't mean he wanted her dead. Alexia, just like Patricia, did horrible things but they didn't deserve death. They could have changed their ways and lived better. "I told her not to do it. This is all my fault." Lana continued crying, refusing to wipe her cheeks which were wet with tears. "

"Nebula news. Just last night, the kidnappers responsible for the disappearances going on in our city were caught and abducted. The victims were unharmed and saved. And sources tell us this was possible only because of a young man called Brian Ashton..."Brian could still remember the news as he was seated in the middle row of seats in the Dolly Hall.Just as he thought, the news about Brian saving the victims spread like wildfire that in three weeks, Brian was like a celebrity in the city.All the victims were returned to their families after being checked on in the hospital. Brian received a lot of thank-you messages from them on social media. Brian couldn't be happier.The children in Richard's mansion were also returned to their families. And what more?Brian snitched on Gabe and his friends about his connection with the kidnaps and his drug dealing. They were now in the police station, preparing for his verdict.These last few days were nice. Students now treated Brian like a cel

"He escaped." Dalton completed. "What? How?" Brian exclaimed. "We tried holding him but some guards came to his rescue. We were outnumbered." Melanie explained. Brian curled his fist. He should have sent some men to help them. But then, he wasn't expecting them to be outnumbered. "Did you see anyone with dreadlock run this way?" Brian asked Arata. Arata shook his head. "We guarded here heavily. No one left or entered." Brian's brows furrowed. How did Raymond escape? Was there some kind of secret passageway or tunnel in the house? Melanie let out a weak gasp and winced. The pain on her side was getting intense. Brian returned his attention to her and stared at her side. She seemed to have been stabbed where she was stabbed previously at Alexia's place. She needed treatment immediately. Just then, a deep voice boomed, causing Brian to jump a bit. "FREEZE." Brian turned. Blood drained from his face at what he saw. Several men barged into the compound. They were all armed

"You are not the only one with a bullet vest here." Miss Claudine cackled and pointed her black pistol at him again. "You are all dead meat."Before she could pull the trigger, Dalton moved and kicked her hand. Her gun skidded from her hand and she yelped."You must have forgotten you are outnumbered," Dalton said. "No one is dead meat except you."Miss Claudine straightened up."It's over." Brian raised his gun at her. A gunshot was heard in the hallway, causing Brian to turn. Two guards lay on the ground meters from them. They were shot by the Nightbirds.Raymond took advantage of the distraction. He grabbed Melanie's hand and twisted it.Melanie winced in pain and left her gun. Then, Raymond delivered a kick on her abdomen which propelled her towards Brian. As Brain caught her, he and Miss Claudine took off in the direction of the stairwell. Dalton raised his hand to shoot but they started moving in a zigzag manner making it difficult for Dalton to target. They entered the stairw

Brian's heartbeat increased its rate as he glanced at the guards pointing their guns at them as if they prepared for this moment their whole life. Melanie and their others stood in the same state of shock as Brian. The guards were about ten in number. Some of the guards stepped forward and took their guns, leaving them with no means to defend themselves. "Awn, sweet Brian thought his plan would work. Haha." Miss Claudine cackled maniacally. "But we were already one step ahead." Brian gritted his teeth at the sight of his Business Law teacher. Nothing had changed about her except that she was wearing a black shirt and black leather jeans, something he thought he would never see her wear. Her dimples, which once gave her a nice look, now made her look sinister with the wicked grin. "Long time no see." Raymond chirped in. Brian glared at him. Raymond also wore black like everyone else and for the first time, Brian saw Raymond without his earrings or chains. His dreadlocks dangled on

Conan tapped a button on the control unit of the kit after Brian's order and sent the command to the transmitter. Instantly, the lights went off and the area was covered in darkness. Brian tapped the button by his glasses and jumped out. He started seeing in radioactive green through the glasses. He moved towards the fence with the others. Just like they planned, the Nightbirds stood on the shoulders of the Gray Guardians. The Guardians stood up, lifting the Nightbirds to touch the electric wire.Since the power supply had been disrupted, they were able to touch the wire without being electrocuted. They snapped the wire quietly with wire cutters. Still on the Guardian's shoulders, they shot all the guards they found in the compound. As if fate was on their side, the cloud had covered the full moon, so the darkness thickened a bit.After they'd shot the guards, they indicated to the guardians that the coast was clear by tapping their feet on their shoulders.The Guardians lifted the

The black Sienna drove through the road in the forest. The headlights were dimmed to avoid easy spotting so Dalton had to drive carefully because of the limited light. Luckily, the full moon helped with some illumination. Some meters behind, two black minivans, in which Richard, Sasha, and the rest of the men and women were in, trailed behind. For some reason unknown to Brian, the cars made little noise as they moved. The laptop stood on the middle of the car dashboard. They were following the dot on the map which was still moving on the water as represented on the map. There was another dot on the map. It was a blue dot that represented them, enabling them to know how far they were from the kidnappers. The two dots were meters apart, the red dot being by the right and ahead of the blue one. Brian's uneasiness came back for a moment but he shoved it aside. He had started this already, so there was no point being negative. "Will our gas be enough for the whole journey?" Brian inq
Chapter Sixty-two
Brian watched in amazement as a Nightbird, whose name was Killian (he was apparently the best voice imitator and actor they had), put on a Mohawk wig that resembled Gabe's hair. His face had already been covered with makeup, giving him Gabe's complexion. His eyes were covered with contact lenses, giving him Gabe's blue eyes color. "Wow, this is impressive work," Brian said to Sasha was just finishing applying the makeup. She bowed and smiled. "Thank you." "Now for the voice part. How's it going?" Killian took out his earpiece with which he had been listening to Gabe's voice. "How's this?" He cleared his throat and changed his facial expression to an angry one. He looked just like Gabe. "Hey, dude. What the hell are you doing?" He spoke in a voice that almost sounded like Gabe's if not for the deepness and pitch. Brian nodded again, impressed with what he witnessed. "Wow. How did you do that?" "Well, I've been listening to his voice since today so I studied his speech tone an
