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
Chapter 85Ethan and Liam both stepped out of their rooms dressed up for work, they walked to the dining where breakfast had been served. Adrian walked out with Martinez behind him, carrying his office bag which contained some files, his laptops, and other important materials.Adrian and Martinez were shocked when they saw Ethan and Liam dressed up, "Good morning brothers, is there a special function going on?"They both chuckled without giving him an answer, immediately Aaron walked in also dressed in a black suit, "Good morning cousin brothers," he said as he sat down to eat.Adrian raised his brow, was this a dream or what? He couldn't believe what was happening. He leaned backward towards Martinez, "Am I dreaming or is this a skit?""None boss, please hurry up with your breakfast if not you might be late for work," Martinez replied. Adrian nodded his head and sat down, waiting to be served by the maids.Audrey walked out ready for school, she walked towards the dining, "Good mor
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
