Chapter 77Rosa Dalton paced to and fro in her room, she didn't believe she was about to do this for the company, she looked at her phone lying on the bed again and looked away. She sent an email to Adrian asking if he was ready, but he didn't reply.She paced to and fro till her husband came into the room, he noticed how worked up she looked, she also looked worried. He walked up to her and held her hands, stopping her from moving, "You look worried, what's up?"She smiled, "Nothing my love, I am just worried about a business deal with one of our shareholders," she replied. "How come, I am just knowing about this? Aren't you the one who said we shouldn't hide anything from each other? How come you are the one doing this?"She looked away not knowing what to say, how was she supposed to explain to her husband that she's going on a date with Mr. Adrian just to seduce him or go as far as having sex with him, just to save the company."I am sorry, it escaped my mind, you know I always
Chapter 78Adrian turned towards her and decided to pry into her life, he wanted to know how he ended up. He is aware she wouldn't reveal the truth to him, but there was no harm in trying."Your first husband? What happened to him?""It's a long story, Mr. Adrian, you might get bored of it," She replied with her gaze on the floor. "A long story, I am always fascinated with long stories, feel free to tell me about him, who knows I might learn from your story and pick up two or three lessons from it."She exhaled and tilted her head towards Adrian, immediately the door opened, "In that case, let's get to the table, I will let you in on it.""No problem," Adrian muttered and they both walked over to the table she had reserved, Adrian looked around and was wowed by the restaurant, truly money is great. It was damn great, a state of the art. Rosa caught him staring around and she smiled, she felt she did a great job and he was in love with what he was seeing. She felt this had automatical
Chapter 79Rosa chuckled, "He died in prison, come on let's not talk about that, we have important business to talk about and not a dead man.""That dead man was the same man who gave you happiness, he is the same man who put a smile on your face. He is the same man who served as a shoulder for you to cry on. Come on Rosa," Adrian said trying to hold back the anger boiling in him.Rosa was shocked, she couldn't understand why Adrian was getting angry, maybe it was because they had the same name. "Calm down Sir, I am sorry if my words angered you, I didn't know speaking about my late husband would get you upset."Adrian closed his eyes and exhaled and inhaled before speaking up, "I am sorry for my outburst, maybe I reacted because we bear the same name. Anyways let's move on, why did you invite me here?"Rosa smiled at him, "As I said earlier, it's the nature of our company to treat our shareholders well, and this is part of it. Be rest assured you are going to leave here happier than
Chapter 80They both stepped out of the elevator and she led him to the room she had reserved for him, she swiped the card and the door opened. "Please come in," Adrian nodded his head and they both walked into the room.She held the hands of John and led him to the bed, immediately he sat down, she got on him and crashed her lips on his. Adrian didn't resist, her lips still tasted the same, with the same texture, nothing changed about her lips.The only change he noticed was the way she kissed, she had improved on that, memories of the past flooded the head of Adrian, he remembered the first kiss he had with Rosa. He remembered the first sex he had with Rosa, he remembered teaching her how to give him a good blowjob.He felt a bulge in his trousers, he couldn't resist the urge, he had missed her a lot, Adrian wrapped his hands around her neck and they continued kissing passionately. Adrian slowly took off the strap of her gown, making her boobs exposed, he continued kissing her and
Chapter 81(Three weeks later)Madeline was wheeled in by her sons into the large dining room, and immediately they all set their eyes on her. They got to their feet except Mr. Jackson Grayson who had his eyes on his meal.They sat down and continued eating, no one saying a word, their eyes incessantly gazing at the old man. He was the one who called the shot on the table, you wouldn't want to find out he had asked something from you a few seconds ago and you weren't aware.He cleared his throat and dropped his cutleries, immediately they stopped eating with their gaze on Mr. Jackson. He reached for his glass of water, took a sip, and dropped the glass. "Madeline welcome, hope you had a good time?""Yes I did, sir, thank you," she said, nodding her head, accompanied by a beautiful smile. "It's time you start using your legs, Madeline, you aren't cripple. Get those legs to work.""Yes Sir, I will," she replied, nodding her head."Adrian, please stand," Adrian exhaled and got on his f
Chapter 82Adrian walked over to where he was standing, "Give me your hands," he said stretching his hands towards Adrian, Adrian placed his hands in his and walked him back to his seat. "This is what it means to have a high mentality, this is what it means to behave like a Grayson. We are to do greater things and not smaller things."Everyone was quiet, as they continually gazed at him, "I would love to make things straight, I ain't saying I am choosing him as the heir of this great institution. Peradventure you were in my shoes, who would you choose as the heir, who do you think is the right person to take over this company?"They all knew it was a rhetorical question, but he was also trying to draw their attention toward what might possibly happen anytime soon. But beyond that it was a call to celebrate the new feat, orchestrated solely by Adrian, it's really a feat that would go down in the books of history of the Grayson family."We all have everything we want, we aren't less
Chapter 83"Let's get him killed?" Ethan and Liam whispered but not loud enough for Audrey to hear. Madeline nodded her head, "That's the only way out, but take note, it doesn't mean you guys won't have to put in work. You both will be resuming tomorrow, it's either you do what you have to do, or you forever miss out on having a share in the inheritance.""Why are you guys whispering?" Audrey asked as she got on her feet, and walked towards them. "Just some formal stuff," Liam replied. Madeline sized Audrey with her eyes before walking away. In a shocking turn of events, Liam and Ethan both walked out on her. She became confused, what in the world was happening? She felt the urge to go after them, but she resisted and walked out of Liam's room, heading towards her room.Immediately she brought out her phone and made a call to her boyfriend, it rang for a few minutes before he answered, "You almost gave me a heart attack, what prevented you from picking up the call?""Hmmmmmm, som
Chapter 84Madeline was shocked, she couldn't believe her ears or her sight, "Did Audrey just walk out on me, or am I dreaming?" She laughed over it and walked out of the room. Adrian, who wanted to be all alone and think about what he needed to do next since the mark on his wrist was slowly clearing up. Suddenly he heard the bell of his door ring, he got up angrily, "I can't even have time for myself in this house." He moved towards the door, "Who's that?""Audrey," she sobbed, Adrian on hearing her reply, quickly opened the door, "What happened Audrey, why are you crying? It's not been a while since we returned from dinner and you are crying?""It's my Mum, she asked that I block my boyfriend and cut him off from my life," she sobbed as she sat down."Why? And what prompted such a decision?""I was on a call with him, a few minutes back, I had no idea she was eavesdropping on my call. It got to a point where he asked about my Mum's health. She walked in at that point and asked
