Chapter 13Aaron started coughing, Adrian and Audrey looked at each other, strangely they had this strange connection within them that they could tell that Aaron was acting up to prevent answering the questions."If you have the flu, why didn't you treat yourself before coming here?" Mr. Jackson spoke in annoyance. "I am sorry Dad, please blame me, beside we couldn't miss such an event as this," Richard muttered as he patted Aaron on his back."I will leave you guys to bond together, excuse me," Mr Jackson said, standing up. Everyone at the table all stood up with their heads bowed till he was out of their sight. Aaron stopped coughing immediately and picked up his phone. Isla chuckled, "Nice one Aaron, you just succeeded in playing the almighty Jackson Grayson, nice one."Aaron looked at her feigning ignorance, "What are you talking about Aunty?" Isla smiled, "You can fool him, not me." "Never mind," Aaron muttered as he drank from the glass containing water.Audrey extended her
Chapter 14 The Limousine pulled up in the front of the mansion, Audrey quickly jumped out and ran to her room. Adrian was about to open the door when, but the guard who was outside was faster than him. He almost fell to the ground but he was quick to hold himself from falling."You are welcome sir," Adrian nodded his head and handed over his suit to the guard who was standing beside him. He walked in and was greeted by his loyal servant Martinez."Welcome master, how are you, hope the dinner went well, did you enjoy the meal, would you love a massage?" Adrian sighed with his gaze on Martinez. "I am fine, you don't have to worry about me, I can take care of myself, I ain't a kid anymore Martinez."Martinez wasted no time in collecting his master suit from the guard, "Thanks, you can now leave." He bowed and walked away while Martinez followed Adrian to his room. They both got to his room, Adrian was about to use the doorknob when the door opened. He shook his head while whispering
Chapter 15Rosa and Mason walked out of the black BMW latest model, with their arms locked in, "You had a wonderful time right?" Rosa giggled with a smile on her face, "Yeah I did, all thanks to you."Mason stopped at the door, which made Rosa laugh, "Come on, why are you standing there, this is your second home, beside we will be getting married soon, don't you think you should see what my room looks like?" Mason smiled at her, stretching his hand towards her, "I am sorry for refusing your invite into your queendom." "Stop that Mason, it's not as fancy as you think, well let's go and please bring down your voice, I don't want to wake my mom.""No problem my love," he whispered as they ascended the stairs, Rosa only wanted to get fucked by Mason, since the death of Adrian, she hasn't had sex, when she gets horny she uses vibrators and other sex toys. She wasn't going to miss the opportunity of getting fucked by a man and not some kind of toys, Immediately they got to the hallway,
Chapter 16Adrian walked out of his room and headed towards a white Audi car, since he was young he always loved the Audi brand and their cars. One of the promises he made to himself while growing up was getting himself three or four latest cars from the Audi brand.He was all grown now, yet he wasn't able to acquire it, but reincarnation came through for him. The guard opened the door of the car and he got in, relaxing his back in the chair. This gave Adrian the feeling that he had made it in life."Where are we heading to boss?" The driver asked with his gaze on Adrian whose eyes were closed. "Bar of the elites." His driver kick started the car and drove off.Adrian sat back as he reflected on his past, he remembered how happy he used to be when he saw an Audi car ride past him. He just couldn't tell why he was so in love with the cars.Adrian dozed off as he reminisced about his past, it was the knock on the glass of the door that woke him up. He stared at his Patek wristwatch an
Chapter 17Adrian's gaze traveled to the mirror and then to the digital clock on the white table, it was just 1:16 AM. He ran his hands through his air and came down from the bed.It's been a while since he had nightmares, the last time had nightmares was the night before his tenth birthday. It was really a traumatic experience because it felt so real. It made Adrian detest and dread the dark and anything associated with the dark, Adrian immediately put on the electric lamp close to him before leaving the bed.He took a look at the bed before walking into the bathroom to get his face washed. He scooped water to his face from the running tap thrice while breathing hard.He could hear the sound of someone crying and at the same time sniffing, "Isn't their rooms made up of soundproof?" He walked out of the bathroom, trying his best to trace where the sound was coming from.He traced it to the wall, placing his ears at the wall, the sound became clearer, who could this be he thought, Adr
Chapter 18Martinez stopped screaming and Adrian pulled his hand away from Martinez's mouth, "Why are you shouting?" Martinez slowly tilted his head toward his boss, "I thought you were dead, my loving master."This took Adrian aback, "Dead, why did you say so?" Martinez walked to the bed pointing at the electric lamp, "You have never left this on, not even in your existence of living, secondly you hardly stay asleep when your alarms ring. Your alarm rang for three good times master and you didn't even react."Adrian shook his head while running his hands through his hair, he exhaled, "His life must have been a great one, I can't put up with the life he had, there's no way," Adrian said within."It's alright Martinez, there was no need to make a fuss about it, all you could have done was to wake me.""Huh?" Martinez had a shocked look on his face, *I won't do that, don't you know if my fingerprint is found on your body, your family won't delay in locking me behind bars, for crying
Chapter 19Martinez walked into his room and sat on his bed thinking about the recent strange behavior of his boss. A lot of things about him have been off recently, he just couldn't place what was happening to his boss.Martinez stood up pacing to and fro in his room with his hand on his waist, "Am I just hallucinating or what?" He spoke to his reflection in the mirror.He had this worried look on his face, "People do change right, maybe he currently undergoing his phase of change or is the pressure around him responsible for what's currently going on?"His phone beeped, it was a reminder of his boss's daily dose of vitamins, he quickly rushed out of his room and ascended the stairs when bumped into someone. It was when he raised his head he found out he collided with his boss."I am sorry master," he went on his knees. Adrian placed his hands on his arm asking him to get up, "It's fine, you just need to be watchful, besides why were you in so much haste?"He brought out the silver
Chapter 20“Stop here”, Adrian ordered, in a way that was even more surprising to him. He heard the convoy behind him stop abruptly too, their tyres screeching against the ground. He had opened his mouth to apologize but decided otherwise. He didn't want to seem soft“Is … there a … problem sir?”, his chauffeur asked him in a still and mild voice.“No. I want to take this entrance today”, Adrian answered. Even if he was gradually getting used to the general lifestyle of the Graysons, he certainly didn't like the whole fuss on security and he certainly wanted to avoid it today. When he had asked Shilla to give him a tour of the company, she'd shown him this second entrance that had been specifically made for the Graysons and sometimes by customization, other important guests of theirs. He had been pleased to discover it mostly because he wouldn't have to have five, six bodyguards tailing his every move till the office. That part of the building, he'd also discovered, was digitally fort
Chapter 250(Two days later)Elder Jackson decided to send a letter to every member of the family, informing them of the long-awaited family dinner. The message reads;This is to cordially invite every one of you to the long-awaited family dinner. It comes up this night by eight, you are all to be there on time, none of you is expected to come late. Audrey, no excuse."They all burst into laughter when they got the message because Elder Jackson mentioned Audrey's name. Audrey laughed so hard when she read the message, but at the same time, she also had a bad feeling about tonight's dinner.Immediately she sent a text message to Adrian, which reads;"I don't feel good about tonight's meeting, I feel something bad might happen, but we also need to be careful, everyone needs to be watchful. We shouldn't get carried away by the activities."Immediately Adrian got the text, he replied to her, by thanking her first, and asking that she send the message to the group. She did so immediately a
Chapter 249Adrian walked towards her, and she took off her headset, "What brings you to my house, are you here to disgrace me once more?"Adrian chuckled, with his hands in his pocket, "What do you mean by am I here to disgrace you once more? Aren't you the one who went all out to disgrace yourself? You know I don't like you, you want me to get married to you, how do you expect it to work?""That doesn't answer my question of you being here, why are you here young man?" She asked, walking towards him, as she put on a harsh look. "Well, I am here to inform you not to try anything stupid again, don't you dare send anyone to me.I repeat don't you dare do that, listen Hailey, I might look and act cool, but if you push me to the wall, you are definitely going to regret it, do you understand?"She chuckled, clapping her hands, "I see, you have the guts to step into my home, and threaten me? Well I don't blame you, I blame the guys who weren't able to do their job.If they had done their j
Chapter 248Hailey Wilson was seated in a bar, and Craig was seated beside her, she slid an envelope towards him, "Listen up, that plan is simple, there you are going to find every detail that you need, and your money is right there in the envelope.All that's needed is for you to do the right thing, and I believe you know what I am speaking of?"Craig shook his head, "How do you expect me to know about it, I don't read minds," he muttered."Ohh I forgot about that, but there's no problem with that, this is what I want from you, and please listen attentively," she paused and moved closer to him, while he did the same."I need you to kill the target, that's it, I am not saying bet him up to death, I am not saying you should do that. I need him dead, real dead, that's all I am asking from you, can you do this for me?" She asked.Craig raised his head, and looked at her, "I am sorry I can't, I have stopped the business of killing people. The best I can do right now is to threaten people
Chapter 247Liam exhaled, as he placed his hands on the table, "I want to know how you were able to join Adrian. I mean we all know you weren't on good terms with him, what changed?"She smiled, "Thank goodness you said, I wasn't on good terms with him, that was in the past. But right now, I think I just decided to re-evaluate my decision, and do what's right, that's it.""Re-evaluate your decision, and do what's right?" Liam muttered.She nodded her head, "You know, I was always jealous of Adrian, you know what I mean right? The dude had everything I wanted, he was closer to Elder Jackson than we all. I don't need to tell you what that means automatically right?"Liam nodded his head, "I understand what that means, he that's closer to Elder Jackson has more chance of being chosen as the heir. But if I am not mistaken, there were times you attempted to take his life right?"She nodded her head, still gazing into his eyes as they spoke, "Yeah, there were times when such an incident hap
Chapter 246Hailey, and her father were still bitter from what happened yesterday, in that bitter state of his. He walked to his garage, got into one of his cars, and drove off to Grayson's office. He was going there to give them a piece of his mind.Not only that, his mind was made up, he was going to terminate every contract he has with the Grayson cooperation. He just couldn't believe what Adrian did to him, after walking out on him, the respect people had for him, dropped automatically.It made him wonder what type of influence Adrian has been able to wield over the years. It's just so surprising to him that he has been able to build himself deep, rooted into the hearts of many people, including his staff.Just because of what happened, about five percent of his staff resigned. It was freaking hard for him to believe, but it was reality. He drove to the garage, and came down from the car in rage. Everyone who saw him, definitely knew he was angry, and they had to give way for him.
Chapter 245"I am in, how can I not be part of a team that works, you saved my life. The best I can do is to repay you guys for everything you have done for me," Liam replied."Really, that means you are officially joining our team right, big bro?" Audrey asked and he nodded his head."That's great, but what we have to do right now is to make sure that you are safe, and you also play the role of Aaron. To me that's the best way to guarantee your freedom, if you ask me," Adrian muttered."I don't doubt that's the best way, but all finger's crossed, he's going to be fine, and we are going to do our best to make sure that he's fine," Aaron replied.They all hugged each other, before returning to their different room.(Present)"I think we have waited for so long, the best we can do right now is to look for ways and means to bring him down. Don't you think, we have given him much space to rest," Liam asked, folding his arms on his chest as he sat up.Aaron nodded his head, "That's the sam
Chapter 244Adrian and Shilla both walked to their office, Mr. Brooks who was dressed in a three piece black suit, turned towards them, when he heard the clicking of their shoes on the floor."Good morning Adrian, hope you had a great night's rest?" He asked as they got close to him."Yes I did Mr. Brooks, good morning," he said, stretching his hands for a hand shake. They both shook hands, and he moved to the door of his office. Adrian placed his thumb on the censor of the door, and it opened up.They got in, Shilla moved over to her desk, while they moved to his office, "Please have your seat," Adrian said as he moved over to his seat.Mr. Brooks sat down, "I am sorry I showed up and announced, I was here four weeks ago, but Elder Jackson revealed to me that you were kidnapped. It didn't quite sit well with me, but there was only little I could do.""It's okay, if I may ask why are you here Mr. Brooks?" Adrian asked as he set up his table."Why am I here? I am here to see you, and I
Chapter 243Elder Jackson cleared his throat, "Are you trying to say, you aren't going to get married?"Adrian raised his head as tilted his head towards Elder Jackson, "Honestly, marriage isn't top of the list, for now, I doubt if I am going to get married."Elder Jackson let down his cutleries, "Adrian, can you hear yourself, what do you mean by you aren't sure you aren't going to get married. Don't you know how important the institute of marriage is?"Adrian exhaled, he knew it was going to be a long discussion about the subject of marriage, and Elder Jackson won't allow him to be. "Yes Elder, I know how important it is, but I don't think it's for someone like me.""You don't believe it's for someone like you because you are some Greek god, or what?" Madeline chipped in not hiding the hatred she has for him.Adrian looked at her for a few seconds, before tilting his head back to Elder Jackson, "It's a decision I have made many years ago, and I can't just back out of it. I just don'
Chapter 242Adrian nodded his head, he opened the laptop and shut it off, before they walked out of the building to library. They both walked to where his car was parked, and they drove back home, just In time before Ethan could return home.Immediately they got home, Liam didn't say a word to anyone, he went straight to his room, and locked the door. He walked into the bathroom, took off his clothes and got into the bathtub crying his eyes out.Now he has to be extra careful around the one he so much trusts, and he has to trust the one he so much hates, life they say is not only filled with ups and downs, it's also filled with plot twists.*****Ethan asks them to bring out the dead body of Liam, they quickly hurried to Liam's car, and brought out the body of the guy they had killed. From afar he was smiling, he thought it was Liam, but when they brought him closer.But when they brought him closer, that was when he realized that it wasn't Liam, but another person, who had close rese
