Chapter 212Adrian opened his eyes slowly, he could still feel pain at the back of his head, where he was hit before he passed out. He tried remembering what happened a few hours ago that made him end up here, but he couldn't remember.The harder he tried, the more he struggled to remember, his face was still covered, and his mouth was gagged. He tried moving, only to find out he couldn't move. He could feel ropes tied around his body, which meant he was tied to the chair he was sitting on.He remained still, helpless but not hopeless, somehow he believed he was going to come out of there, but he didn't know how it was going to happen. But he knows it's going to happen one way or the other, another thought on his mind was who was behind this.He had so many people on his mind, he wasn't underrating them, but he knew his uncle and his step-twin brothers weren't capable of doing this. Due to what has happened to them in the past, they always wanted him dead on the spot.But this was dif
Chapter 213(The next day)Adrian was grateful they were just returning from the restaurant when they were attacked, the food they ate was to provide little strength. He didn't sleep throughout the night, he kept on thinking about certain things he had to do to escape.He was also thinking about what the past participant of his body did to the man who had held him hostage. He spent the night thinking and dozing off as he feasted his mind on different things.His eyes immediately went open, when he heard the clicking of someone's shoe and the clicking of bunches of keys. He could only see beyond the veil that was over his face, the door burst open, and a young man walked in.He closed the door behind him and locked it with a key before walking towards Adrian, "You must be lucky man, my boss has never asked that we give breakfast to anyone who he brings here. I don't understand why your case is different, I mean you aren't a woman, if you are a woman I would have, he's doing this becaus
Chapter 214Adrian couldn't help but laugh, how come the guy didn't know the restrooms were vacant? He stood waiting for the guy to ask him what the problem was, when Chole was done, he walked out of the restroom feeling relieved.They both walked to where they would wash their hands, "Excuse me, did you mean you didn't know all the restrooms were empty?"Chole looked at him shocked, "Are you fucking serious, you mean they were all vacant?"Adrian nodded his head and walked away to the cinema hall to meet Rosa laughing.(Present)"Adrian, can't you look me in the eye? Or are you ashamed of what you did in the past?" Chole asked as he sipped from his glass of fruit juice. Adrian still kept his head down, he didn't trust himself at all, "Adrian, I asked you a question, and I need an answer."Adrian was shocked, an answer? He didn't ask a question that demanded an answer, he only asked that he raise his head and look him in the eyes. "Boss, it looks like he's not in the mood to talk, may
Chapter 215They all sat up staring at him, waiting to hear what he had to say, they weren't really expecting any good news because he had just been kidnapped. There was no good news that would eventually come out of this, but nevertheless, they are still going to bring themselves to listen to what he has to say.The chief cop cleared his throat, "Soon, it's going to be twenty-four hours and we are going to declare him missing, but when we went to the exact spot where he was abducted we found something."What did you do, chief?" Elder Jackson, who was anxious, asked as he leaned forward, "Not much, we found the business card of a young successful man, who happens to be named Chole. We believe that he's the one behind this. Well, we just don't want to jump to a conclusion, but at the same time, we can undermine the fact that he might have something to do with this. So what we are waiting for is for the next twenty-four hours. We are going to get permission from the law court to search
Chapter 216Liam exhaled, "Why don't we do this, we tell Elder Jackson and Mr. Leonard to leave this case to us to handle, I know it's going to be damn hard because he is his father.He would want to be part of the whole process of finding his son, but we just have to play our cards well and convince him to stay not fully out of it, but you guys understand what I mean right?"They nodded their heads, "Fine, now here's the catch, we have to do everything within our power to get him back home. I am damn sure the only way Elder Jackson is going to move on from Adrian is if he's dead. But as far as he's still alive, I kid you not, he's not going to move on, and we shouldn't expect anything from the inheritance."Ethan was impressed, he never knew his brother could think like this intelligently. As he stared at his brother in shock, he still didn't understand why he always kept mute and not wanting to say anything or suggest a solution was needed.Liam looked over his shoulder where his br
Chapter 217"Who were you speaking to?" His father asked, staring at him with his hands on his waist, he immediately hung up and faked a smile, "It's Audrey.""Audrey? The last time I checked you guys weren't on good terms, what changed?""What changed? Nothing changed, you know the best way to get closer to your enemies is by getting close to the allies of your enemy," he replied.Mr. Richard shook his head, "I see, you are doing a good job, how come I didn't even think about that?" Aaron exhaled, feeling relieved his father believed in his cooked-up lies."So tell me, what have you gotten since you started associating with her?" He asked as she sat down on the chair at the other side of his table."Nothing serious, I don't think she trusts me yet, you know it takes time for people to trust each other, the best thing we can do right now is to be patient. We can't afford to use force, sorry, I can't afford to use force on her, she's a lady, I believe with time, we will get what we wan
Chapter 218Adrian was seated when he felt a sharp object pierce through his left thigh, he screamed with his eyes shut. "Don't you like it? This was what you made me feel back then in high school and university, pain," Chole said while twirling the edge of the knife in his thigh.Adrian knew there was absolutely nothing he could do to convince the guy standing before him that he wasn't the one who did what he was accusing him of. The Adrian who hurt him real bad, was seated, tied right in front of him, but what he does know is that it's a different person occupying the body."This is just the beginning, by the time I am done, you will be begging me to kill you, but I won't do so, I ain't going to do that. Instead, I am going to subject you to more pain. I planned to make you bleed to death, but there's a change of plan.What I am going to do right now, is to make you suffer two types of pain, the pain of losing your loved ones, and the pain of torture. Don't think I am a bad person,
Chapter 219Mr. Wilson had his guys drive around the estate, he brought out his phone and quickly dialed the line of the estate security chief, he answered at the first ring."Siez this is Mr. Hailey, please I need you to do something for me, I am in search of my daughter and I need you to stop her from leaving the gate if she happens to drive towards the gate any moment from now.""I am sorry sir, she just drove out of the estate, a few seconds ago," he replied."Shit," he muttered and hugged up, "Inform your colleagues to head out of the estate, she just drove out of the estate, if there's anyone outside the estate you can contact to stop her, please do so immediately.""Yes boss," his chief security bodyguard replied and spoke into his telecom. Hailey quickly parked the car and came out of the car, she looked around and began running to God knows where.She ran across the road without looking and got hit by a car, Mr. Chole, who hit her, quickly came out from his car, stared at his
