Chapter 121Martinez drove into the garage and brought the car to a halt, they both took off their seat belts and came down from the car. Mr. Leonard walked into the living room when his phone rang. He quickly reached for his phone and answered the call, it was Mr. Jackson calling, probably to ask about the state of Adrian.He exhaled before he picked up, "Good evening Mr. Jackson.""Good evening Leonard, how are you and how's Adrian?""Things seem to be getting worse sir, after he has been revived. Audrey walked into his room and found him in a pool of blood. She quickly alerted the doctor and he was rushed again to the ICU. We still haven't gotten any news from the doctor, but we will be returning to the hospital early in the morning," Mr. Leonard replied."Poor Adrian, were you able to find the bastard that did such a thing to him?"Mr. Leonard exhaled and shook his head, "That didn't cross my mind, we will look into this after Adrian is healthy.""Don't you think you should fish o
Chapter 122Isla got into her car, turned on the ignition of her car, and drove back home. In her wildest dreams, she would never believe she would be able to do what she just did.She remembers how she spoke ill of women in the past who decided to repay their cheating husband, by cheating back. Now she understood why they did it, she now identified with the pain.She wasn't going to cry again, she would channel her energy into doing the best for their kids who were studying abroad. Isla made up her mind not to ask for a divorce, but she wasn't going to be the loving and caring mother she was.Things would be different from now on, he lost the trust she had for him. She won't trust him with her money, and she is going to audit his account and her account to checkmate how much he has laundered away from her.

Chapter 123Mr. Martinez and Martinez both walked to the security office, he didn't need to introduce himself. Immediately they set their eyes on him, and they all got on their feet.Martinez who was behind him, shook his head and muttered within, wealth and influence can move doors. "Have your seat, sir, what do you want from us, sir?""I need the CCTV footage of last night," he replied as he sat down, while Adrian stood beside him. "What floor and what time Mr. Grayson?""Top floor and what was the time?" He turned his question to Martinez."Twenty-two to twenty-three o'clock," Martinez answered with his gaze on the huge screens in the room. When he walked in, he didn't pay attention to the room, but just by looking around, he was already fascinated with what he was seeing."Twenty-two to twenty-three o'clock right?" A young short man spoke up and they both nodded. "Can you tell us what you are looking for?""Yes, a male nurse who walked into my son's room to Stab him in his neck,
Chapter 124The director gazed at Mr. Leonard and Martinez for a few seconds before returning to his seat. He tapped on the play button and the video continued playing.They watched as Alex walked out of the room and said a few words to Audrey. She nodded her head and walked into the elevator. They noticed the male nurse waited till Audrey got into the elevator before he returned to the room.After a few minutes, the male nurse walked out hastily and took the stairs which led to the back of the hospital, instead of taking the elevator. Mr. Leonard noticed Martinez was about to speak, and he quickly raised his hand, signifying to keep shut.The Director directed his gaze to Mr. Leonard, who nodded his head, "C.J. I need you to help me with something, can you please rewind to the North side of the hospital?""Yes boss, what time?" C. J asked as he moved his chair to the big screen monitor. "Twenty-two o'clock," the director replied.C. J nodded his head and he typed on a keyboard whil
Chapter 125Mr Jackson who was still asleep woke up when Mr. Leonard's call came into his phone. He pulled the duvet away and rolled to the other side of his bed where he kept his phone.He saw the callee ID and wasted no time in answering, "Good morning Leonard," he greeted waiting for Leonard to speak up."Good morning sir, I assume you were asleep when my call came in?" He asked and Mr. Jackson nodded his head, "Yes you did, but it's not a problem, any news on Adrian's health?"Mr. Leonard laughed, "Yes sir, he is hale and hearty, he will probably be discharged this evening.""Oh, that's great news, great news, and what a way to start the day," he muttered, smiling heartily."Yes Mr. Jackson, what a way to start the day," Mr. Leonard replied."Leonard," he called out."Yes, father""It's okay for you to take a day off, Adrian needs you by his side at a time like this. I promise to stop by at the mansion this evening, before heading home.""Thank you, sir, we will be expecting you
Chapter 126Audrey quickly walked over to meet this visitor of hers, her eyes widened when she saw Jay standing outside. She turned to the Maid, "Thank you, you can go now."She nodded her head and walked away, "What's up baby," Jay said with his arm wide open.She quickly walked over to him, "What's going on? You didn't inform me you were coming."Jay laughed "I thought about surprising you and I am glad to see the surprise look on your face." Audrey held the hands of Jay and led him to the garage, "Jay, I am asking again, what are you doing here?""What am I doing here? I came here to see you or do I look like someone who is here for a job?" He asked with his hands in his pocket.Audrey shook her head, "No, you don't. It's just that I am shocked to find you here. Do you remember how many times I have asked you to come home with me, but you turned me down."Jay nodded his head, "That's true, but I decided to do something crazy today. I don't mind what your family will do, I just wan
Chapter 127(Few Hours Later)Adrian was seated in a black Rolls Royce with his father seated at his left and Martinez at his left. The car suddenly came to a halt, "Boss, we are at home," the driver said as he tilted his head backward.Adrian and his father nodded at the same time, they opened the respective door beside them as they got down from the car. They both left the door open, Adrian took in a deep breath before walking out of the car. He had read about the tussle of the family, but never for once did he think it would lead to two attempts to take his life.Two fucking attacks on the same day, they didn't even give him a chance to breathe or recover. Adrian made up his mind not to find out who was behind it, instead, he was going to give them more reasons to hurt and attack him.Adrian believes nothing can happen to him until his time is up, he has a mission to fulfill and he's going to do that alive. He believes the time for his death would be after he has completed the miss
Chapter 128(An Hour Later)"It's nice having dinner with every one of you, and I am glad Adrian is back here with us. I am so relieved knowing he is hale and hearty," Mr. Jackson echoed and Adrian smiled."I am the happiest person seated here, these few hours were hard for me. I just couldn't imagine losing my son to the cold hands of death. I am just glad he grew up as a warrior, maybe that's why he was able to defeat death on two occasions," Mr. Leonard muttered with his gaze on Adrian.Adrian chuckled, "Dad, I count myself lucky. I don't have any strength to fight against death, I think the creator was on my side. He didn't want to leave in a hurry, that's basically why I am still alive.""You are one hell of a lucky dude Adrian, who would have believed that after what you went through in the last couple of hours, you would be with us here?" Ethan asked and Liam chipped in, "Adrian, I think I need this luck of yours, this lucky charm of yours needs to be studied."Adrian smiled a
