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 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 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 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 1“You stupid fool, you had just one job. One freaking job. But you couldn't get it done. You just had to mess up. You want nothing but to disgrace this household in front of the entire family.”. Mrs Nancy Dalton, who couldn't control her anger yelled,walking fast in her stiletto heel as she entered the house. In an attempt to soothe her mother's nerves, Rosa Dalton hurried to her side, gently taking her mother's hand and speaking to her in a soft, reassuring voice. “ Mom, don't walk too fast, you're going to hurt yourself”.But Nancy wasn't taking any of it. She jerked her arm out of her daughter's grip.“Hurt myself?!. No, I'm going to hurt that bastard instead. Just imagine the embarrassment he caused us today”.“Mom, calm down. I'm sure there's was a misunderstanding somewhere”.“Misunderstanding?!”. Nancy flared up again. “Why do you always give excuses for his incompetence? Huh?”. She threw her heels at the young man in question, targeting his head, but luckily for him,
Chapter 2Adrian was sure he didn't just hear divorce.“Awwn! Surprise, surprise”, Lily said in her usual high pitched voice, giving a short scornful laugh at the end. Sean joined her too.“Oh stop Lily. The poor fool. Did you really think Rosa here was down for you? Really? Is that how you really think of yourself?”, Sean said, with a scoff.“That's enough Sean”“What? It’s not like I’m lying. I’m just stating facts”. “I said enough!!”“Rosa…”. Adrian tried drawing closer to his wife,but she stepped back, using her hand to stop him from coming any closer. “Look Adrian. I'm tired. I want a divorce”“A divorce?Are you serious right now?”“Yes Adrian. I want a divorce. Here and now”, Rosa said, her hands folded under her chest.“I… I don't understand Rosa. Wh.. wha.. what's going on? Where's all this coming from all of a sudden?”“All of sudden? This isn't all of a sudden Adrian. You've just been too blind to see it.”“What are you talking about Rosa? I don't understand”“Clearly his
Chapter 3 Adrian sat bruised and battered in his cold, dingy prison cell. He paced the small cell, a stabbed feeling in him. He had now spent three endless months locked up for a crime he didn't commit. The wounds from the daily beatings were nothing compared to the sting of betrayal he felt. He couldn't still comprehend why the woman he'd dedicated his life to loving would order for a divorce so cold-heartedly - in a way that was capable of striping him of every last form of dignity he had.“Get up you idiot. You have a visitor”Adrian stood up reluctantly, not wanting to go through another round of beating for stubbornness. He was in no mood to see anybody be they his friends. Not to even talk of any of his in- laws. Now Rosa had come once again to torment Adrian under the guise of being a concerned ex-wife. “Oh Adrian, look at you! This is what happens when you try lying and avoiding accountability for your actions. All this pain could have been avoided if you had just admitted
Chapter 4“Adrian!”“Who… who's there?”, Adrian looking around him. The thunderous sound of the voice had caused him to almost fall over as he managed to catch his step from all that stumbling. The voice seemed to walk on the ground around him, with something heavy to his feet striking on the ground, like metal hitting metal - a vibrating aura to it.Andrea rubbed his eyes, finding it hard to believe what he was seeing. The form was obviously headed in his direction and a strange feeling overwhelmed him. He could feel the strange energy in this ethereal place and it sent chills down his spines. He didn't want to be overwhelmed by fear so he asked the questions.“Who … who are you?”, Andrea said as the blinding figure came within his view. It was in the form of a man and his face was illuminating extremely, that Adrian couldn't even look at him straight.“Adrian”, the deep voice called out to him again.“What.. what do you want from me?”, Adrian said, his arm over his eyes to prevent t
