“What?” The confusion in Adrian’s voice was evident. “Did you just say you saw my wife being carried away by Sebastian Palmer?”

“Yes, young master,” Blaze replied, but his voice didn’t sound so confident. “I’m not a hundred percent sure. I might be wrong. I just thought I should inform you, just in case.”

A sigh was heard on the other end before Adrian’s voice came through. “Thank you for letting me know, Blaze. I’ll look into it now. Goodbye.”

Adrian hung up the call as soon as he dismissed Blaze, and a nagging feeling of unease simmered in his gut as he called one of Anita’s bodyguards.

“Young master—”

“Where is my wife right now?” Adrian’s sharp question cut the bodyguard off before he could finish his sentence.

“Uhh…” the bodyguard hesitated and Adrian could hear the sound of shuffling in the background.

“Don’t test my patience,” Adrian gritted out. “Where. Is. My. Wife?”

“Y-young master, we…we’re deeply sorry,” the bodyguard began, his voice shaky with fear.

“My colleague and

    The manager’s frown deepened. “Your wife?” He repeated. “Why would you come looking for your wife here? Is she missing or something?”“I’m not completely sure, but I have reasons to believe she might be missing,” Adrian responded, his voice calm yet tinged with worry. “Her car is still parked in the parking lot.”“That’s strange,” The managers brows rose a bit, then he turned to the waiter. “Was the lady in question on our list of customers for today?”The waiter hesitated, his mind racing with unease because the manager was actually giving a listening ear to Adrian. He could feel Adrian’s gaze boring into him, and when the manager gave him an impatient glare, he nodded reluctantly. “Y-yes, she’s on the list.”“Then why didn’t you help this young man out immediately?” He chided in a sharp tone. “If her name is on our list, and her car is still parked in our premises, that makes her our responsibility. Is this how you disregard the image of our restaurant? Making people think we don

    As soon as Adrian reached his car, he opened the passenger door and shoved the trembling waiter inside, slamming it shut before going round to the driver’s side.“L-let me go! This is kidnapping!” The waiter protested as he tried to unlock the door. Unfortunately for him, Adrian had already activated the safety lock.When he realized this, he frantically thrashed around in his seat, the car seat feeling like a million needles poking his buttocks.Adrian slammed his hand on the steering wheel, the sound stopping the waiter’s tantrum. “You’re walking on thin ice, buddy. Don’t test me any further or you’ll regret it.”The waiter instantly froze at the obvious threat in Adrian’s voice and he swallowed hard as he became aware of the potential danger he was in.“Now,” Adrian continued as he started the ignition and began pulling out of the restaurant’s premises, “you’re going to tell me the truth about Sebastian Palmer’s plan. If you lie, even once, I’ll make sure you pay dearly for it.”Th

    The waiter hesitated as he glanced nervously between Adrian and Sebastian, unsure of whether he should actually speak or not.Sebastian’s jaw clenched as his gaze flickered warningly towards the waiter. And the look in Sebastian’s eyes made the waiter wary, but his fear for Sebastian paled in comparison to the fear he had for Adrian.Hence why Adrian’s scorching glare made the words tumble out of his mouth instantly. “M-Mr. Palmer had me slip some aphrodisiac pills into Mrs. Anita’s champagne.” “Are you still going to deny your schemes?” Adrian gritted as he turned his attention to Sebastian and threw the tiny camera on the floor, smashing it beneath his foot. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t break every bone in your body for what you did?”Sebastian pressed his lips together tightly, his demeanor defiant and unremorseful. The only thing he felt was anger. Anger that he got caught before he could fulfill his aim with Anita.Anger that a nobody like Adrian was challenging an

    Sebastian wasted no time in taking out his phone at Adrian’s command. His hands trembled as he dialed the number of his company’s news publication’s manager, occasionally stealing nervous glances at Adrian.As soon as the manager picked up, Sebastian began spewing out orders. “Remove every single news about Anita Davies from the platform immediately.”The manager on the other end, was confused. “But Mr. Palmer—” he tried to protest.But Sebastian, being in a tight spot, snapped, cutting him off. “Do it within five minutes, or you’re fired!” His voice came out more frantic than harsh.The call ended soon after, and as Sebastian stared at his phone, he felt Adrian’s scorching gaze on him. The pressure became intense and he fidgeted with his fingers while struggling to keep his composure as he waited for a confirmation from the manager. He nearly jumped in shock as his phone suddenly buzzed in his hands. Fumbling to check the screen, he saw the confirmation message he had been waiting

    Adrian woke up in the morning with a smile on his face as he recalled what had happened between him and Anita the night before.He hadn’t expected to get that close to Anita so soon, but he’d be lying if he said it wasn’t a mind blowing experience.Just as he was relishing the memories, his phone rang on the bedside table. And he sighed before reaching for it. “Blaze? To what do I owe a call this early in the morning?” He asked, his voice a bit raspy as he wiped away the remaining traces of sleep from his eyes.“I’m sorry, master. I didn’t mean to disturb you,” Blaze apologized. “I just wanted to inform you that Grandmaster Xu’s descendant will be landing in Wibston today,”“Oh yeah,” Adrian groaned as he slapped his forehead. “I had totally forgotten about that. I was carried away with the events of last night.”“I totally understand, master,”Blaze said, then paused as though he himself recalled something. “Speaking of last night, were you able to find your wife? I apologize for n

    Some minutes before Nathan had called Anita, he was pacing around in his room with his phone in his hands as he dialed Sebastian’s number for the millionth time that morning. His heart pounded and he couldn’t help the unease that gnawed at the back of his mind as the call went to voicemail like the previous times he tried. “Damnit, Sebastian!” Nathan cursed as he kicked the wall in his room. “Why aren’t you picking your calls?” His eyes were frantic as he wondered if the plan was successful or if it had gone wrong. Was Sebastian even safe? Just then, his phone buzzed in his hands, snapping him out of his thoughts. He quickly glanced at the screen, expecting it to be Sebastian, but his expression fell when he saw that it was his sister, Natalie. His forehead creased into a frown. Why was she calling him? She had just left the house barely an hour ago. “Natalie? Why are you calling?” He asked as soon as he answered the call. “Nathan,” Natalie’s voice rang out a bit too

    Adrian pulled up into the premises of the Davies group, and Anita unstrapped her seat belt as she turned to him with a grateful smile. “Thanks for offering to drop me off, Adrian. I’ll pick up my car from Casablanca once I’m done for the day.”Adrian nodded, then offered, “I can help you bring it here if you want? So you won’t have to go all the way there after a hectic day at work.”Anita shook her head. “No, it’s fine. I don’t mind picking it up myself. You don’t have to do everything for me, you know?”“I know, but I like doing things for you,” Adrian replied with a shrug, his tone filled with sincerity.Anita’s heart warmed and she fought back the heat that began to creep up her cheeks. “And I appreciate it,” her words were genuine as she softly brushed his arm. “But just sit this one out. It’s my car afterall.”“Okay,” Adrian mumbled, giving in. “If you insist.” “I do,” she gave his arm a final squeeze before retrieving her hand and opening the car door. “See you later.”She w

    Xavier Palmer’s gaze snapped to Nolan’s direction when he heard his son’s words, and his brows furrowed as he saw him approaching with a silver haired man he didn’t recognize. He glanced back at Adrian and withdrew his hand before he completed their handshake, then turned towards Nolan again. “What do you mean by ‘more beneficial to us,’ son? Who is he?” He asked as his eyes flickered curiously to Lawrence.Lawrence didn’t wait for Nolan to introduce him as he took a step closer towards Xavier, deliberately brushing against Adrian’s shoulder as he walked past.Adrian’s jaw tightened, and his fists trembled with the need to bash the smirk off Lawrence’s face, but he held himself back.Not yet. There will be plenty of time to do that during the duel. Lawrence plastered on a wide, charming smile as he extended a hand to Xavier Palmer. “This will be our first time meeting, Mr Palmer. My name is Lawrence Smith, a friend of your son, and an aspiring candidate for the imperial circle’s lea

    Adrian was lying shirtless and motionless on the operating table, his eyes were shut tightly, his skin extremely pale and clammy, and his lips had a slight blue tinge to them.His chest was still, and a tube connected to a ventilator was passed through his nose to help him breathe properly.The surgical team had also cleaned the blood that poured from his chest, but it was still bleeding, and it became a serious cause for concern.Doctor Arnold was momentarily frozen when he saw Adrian, and he had to blink severally to make sure he wasn’t imagining things. Never would he have expected that the patient he was treating was his boss, who had left the hospital completely fine just a few hours ago.His shock finally wore off and he sprang into action.For the next approximately five hours, Doctor Arnold and his team of surgeons performed an open heart surgery on Adrian to remove the bullet.Just as they were rounding up with the surgery, something happened.Adrian’s heart rate visibly inc

    Adrian’s eyes widened as it dawned on him that a bullet had struck him, and he stumbled backwards from the scorching pain that shot up his chest. He clutched his heart and felt the warm liquid seeping through his hands. When he looked down, he saw that the crimson color was quickly spreading throughout his chest and dripping down his hands at an even faster rate.He turned towards the direction the bullet came from to see if he’d spot anyone, but no one was there. The streets were empty and quiet, save for the noise from the bikers.Kai had seen Adrian turning, so he quickly turned around and pressed himself to the wall to properly blend with it. A cruel smirk appeared on his face as he replayed what he had done. He raised the gun to his line of sight and stared at it with a hint of fascination in his eyes.“Finally,” he whispered maliciously. “It’s done.”With that, he risked another peek at Adrian and saw that he was no longer looking towards his direction.He quickly tucked his

    Finally calling it a night, Adrian left the bar with Ashley walking beside him. He had decided to escort her to where her car was parked before going on his own way.The moment they were about to cross to the other side of the road, the loud roaring engines of motorcycles echoed in the air.They both looked to see a good number of motorcycles heading towards them, and in a split second they were surrounded.The hairs at the back of Ashley’s neck prickled her skin and she subconsciously held onto Adrian’s arm.“Adrian, what’s happening?” She whisper in hushed urgency as her eyes frantically darted around the motorcycles that circled them. “Do you know these people?”Adrian followed her line of sight as he too searched the faces of the men on the Harley Davidson motorcycles.His brows furrowed as he couldn’t recognize any of them. That was until the person who looked to be the leader stepped out and revealed the person cowering behind him.It was the man from earlier, the one who had ch

    A sliver of unease began to flicker within the man as Adrian said the words he had been dreading to hear.He lost the bet.The punishments.His eyes frantically darted around as though searching for someone to help him out of the situation, but no one seemed to be on his side.“If I could remember clearly,” Adrian continued, his lips tugging into a smirk as he saw the panic that began to appear on the man’s face. “You said the loser of the bet would have to grovel before the winner and lick the shoes of everyone here. So what are you waiting for? Begin already.”“Yeah,” the patrons echoed in unison and began chanting. “Do the bet! Do the bet!”The man internally shook his head. There was no way he’d lick the shoes of everyone at the bar. He had only agreed to the punishment because he thought it would be Adrian doing it.“I have to escape,”‘the man muttered internally. His eyes darted around again, this time searching for the exit. When he spotted it, his body barked into motion as

    Adrian grimaced as he perceived the foul stench that emanated from the man’s vomit. He instantly took off the shirt, and luckily, he was wearing an undershirt underneath which hadn’t been hit by the vomit. He used the clean sides of his shirt to wipe the bits of biking off his face and then threw it to the floor.At this time, the minor tipsiness in his eyes had already cleared off and he could think clearly again, so his movements weren’t slowed down.His gaze shifted to the man and he stifled a laugh as he saw the drama the man was displaying.First, he had taken off his clothes, and was sweating profusely while repeatedly murmuring, “Too hot,” under his breath.Secondly, he fell off his seat and was instead rolling on the floor as he writhed like someone in pain.Some people who found the scene incredibly funny pulled out their devices and began to record.While the other patrons were more empathetic, and filled with pity for the poor man.They turned their gazes to Adrian, expect

    Everyone watched with undivided attention as the man climbed down the chair and made his way to the bar.Once he reached the counter, he tapped it a few times to get the bartender’s attention. The bartender, who had been busy mixing a couple of drinks, looked up and raised a brow in inquisitiveness.“What can I get for you, sir?” He asked politely.“Ten shots of Devil Springs mixed with Everclear, please,” the man replied loud enough for everybody to hear.And gasps erupted from the patrons.Devilsprings was known to be one of the strongest alcoholic vodkas ever made, and wasn’t for the faint-hearted. It was already dangerous enough, but when mixed with Everclear, drinking it could be said to be almost suicidal.Ashley also gasped beside Adrian and looked at him, eyes wide in alarm. “Adrian, that man is completely out of his mind!” She whisper-yelled, and panic seeped through her voice. “Devilsprings is not something to be trifled with. I even know someone who had died from drinking

    The man’s eyes flashed with annoyance, but then he masked it with a challenging smirk. “You can’t tell me what I can or cannot do,” he scoffed as he gave Adrian a disdainful once over. “You’re just a loser.”Adrian shrugged as though the words merely bounced off his shoulders. “Call me whatever you want, but don’t dare bother my girlfriend again.”The man folded his bulky arms across his chest and the smirk on his lips widened aa he openly checked Ashley out, disregarding Adrian’s words.Ashley’s grip around Adrian’s arm tightened and she shifted on her feet as the man’s lustful stare sent bad shivers down her spine. “Pretty lady, I have a proposal for you,” the man spoke up again, after he was done gawking at Ashley shamelessly. He rubbed his lips while licking them as he continued.“Ditch this loser boyfriend of yours, and come to me. I’ll give you whatever you wabt and turn your life around.”Ashley rolled her eyes at the cockiness in the man’s tone, and her gaze met his squarely.

    Adrian sat a bit more upright on the sofa as he glanced up, his gaze steadily meeting Regina’s. “I’ve not done that yet. He’s fainted, so he’s been revived. I’ll take him to prison once that happens.”Regina huffed and crossed her arms. “Him being the culprit, doesn’t make you innocent,” she muttered bluntly.“You still had a role to play in what happened to Anita, because you aren’t rich enough to protect her. I still stand by my earlier statement. You don’t deserve to be near my daughter, so leave.”Adrian’s eyes flashed with fury and disbelief. He knew Regina had always been an unreasonable person, but this was just too much.“Are you serious right now?” He echoed in incredulity. “You’re still blaming me for Anita’s accident?”“Of course,” Regina shot back, her voice rising slightly. “If you weren’t so useless, then a brat like Nathan wouldn’t have been able to harm a single hair on her head. She’s better off without you, so just get out for crying out loud!”“No,” Adrian refused,

    Blaze hesitated for a moment before his voice finally sounded through the receiver. “If that’s what you want, master,” he conceded. “I know there’s definitely an important reason why you made this decision, and I hope whatever it is gets sorted in time.”“Thank you for understanding, Blaze,” Adrian responded with a firm nod. “I’ll talk to you later.”With that he hung up the phone and leaned back against the back rest of the couch, and his mind swirled with thoughts for a moment before exhaustion overtook him and his eyes drooped close.Meanwhile, on another side of Wibston, Lawrence Smith was having a fit of rage as he reeled from the aftermath of his defeat to Adrian.Kai, on the other hand, stood a few meters away from Lawrence, while clutching his side. Despite the pain traveling up his body, he barely registered it due to the anger swirling inside him. His fight with Adrian replayed over and over in his head and he couldn’t still believe Adrian had won the fight. But even more
