Chapter 89Rosa stared at the walls of her office which were made of glass, she reminisced about her meeting with Adrian. She still couldn't believe that it actually happened to her, she thought she had him in her grip, what did she do or say wrong?Different questions aired in her mind, "Rosa, Rosa," Mason her husband called out her name but she gave him no reply because she was lost in thought. It was when he got closer to her, and he called her name, she responded and jolted out of her thought."What's the problem, you look worried, what's on your mind, don't tell me nothing, don't lie to me about nothing being the problem. Talk to me my love, what's the problem?"Rosa exhaled, "You are right Mason, I ain't fine, a lot of things seem to be on my mind lately, and it's making me worried.""Making you worried? You planned on keeping this to yourself if I didn't ask right?" She turned towards him exhaled and walked to her seat, not gazing at him as she spoke, "Everything is just comp
Chapter 90Isla walked into the restaurant. She sat down at the table close to the door, she brought out her phone and decided to call him once more. It rang for a few minutes, just before he answered, "Where the hell are you?" She asked, speaking with a low voice."I am close, just be patient, I will be there soon," he replied and hung up, she looked at her phone and shook her head, "Adrian, Adrian, Adrian, let's see what becomes of you."A tall, young man with short blonde hair walked in, he had his glasses on, he had a bag in his pack, and black gloves on his hands. His gaze met Isla immediately he walked in and he joined her at the table. He took off his bag before sitting on the table, "It's been a while, Ma'am Isla Foster.""Same here Tiger," she replied, gazing into his eyes."I don't need to be told you have a job for me, the only time you know I exist is when you need me to carry out a deadly job for you. Spill I am listening to you, tell me why you called me here."Isla e
Chapter 91Adrian was seated in his room when his phone which was on the bed rang, he was about to get up to pick it up. But Martinez was faster than him, "Stay put boss, I am here, you don't need to stress yourself."Adrian nodded his head, Martinez picked up the phone from the bed and walked towards Adrian, and handed it over the phone to him. He looked at the phone and it was Elder Jackson calling. He looked at Martinez and then back to his phone, he handed over the phone back to Martinez, "I am not speaking to him."Martinez was shocked, "It's Elder Jackson boss, the highest member of the Grayson family boss. He's the one calling." Adrian nodded his head while looking away, "I am aware of that, but I ain't picking up the call."Martinez was shocked, who on Earth would see the call of such a great man and wouldn't pick up the call? This was damn strange, the phone was still in his hands when he called back again. "Boss, he is calling back.""Switch off the phone, I need to clea
Chapter 92Ethan and Liam were seated in a bar, "What do you think about what Mum said earlier about us taking down Adrian?" Liam asked as he sipped from his wine. Ethan looked around the bar, trying to come up with an answer, "It's okay, I believe doing that will surely bring us close to the inheritance, right?"Liam nodded his head, "Hope you are aware, it's not an easy task, we can't kill him with a gun or with a knife. We need to find a way to eliminate him without using arms.""I know Liam and the only way that can happen is either we choke him to death when he is asleep, poison him, or hit and run."Liam's eyes widened, "How did this idea come into your mind? Have you been planning about this for a long period?" Ethan nodded his head, "Yeah I have, I had this plan on killing him before Mum even talked about it.""Wow, this is really crazy, anyways how do you think we will go about it, and through what means?" Liam asked as he sipped from his glass.Ethan folded his hands acros
Chapter 93Audrey shook her head and tried walking past her mum, but her mum stood in her way. "I ain't joking Audrey, get back into your room. You aren't going anywhere."Audrey crossed her hands, "Mum, please forgive me if I act irrational any minute from now." Madeline raised her brow, "Are you threatening me?""Threatening you? No, I ain't threatening you, mum, you didn't raise me to do such a thing, or did you even raise me?" Audrey asked, gazing into the eyes of her Mum. "That's your business, as far as I am concerned, you aren't leaving this house today.""Why?" They both turned towards the direction, where the voice came from, it was Adrian standing with his hand in his pocket. "It's none of your business, this is between Mother and daughter," Madeline replied.Adrian chuckled and whispered coldly, "This is between brother and sister, please step out of her way and let her pass.""You must be out of your mind, if you think I will do as you have said, I am old enough to gi
Chapter 94Ethan and Liam returned home in a black Chevrolet, they got down and stormed into their rooms. Ethan was about going into his room when Liam stopped him. "Come on, let's say hi to Mum.""Is it necessary?" Ethan asked gazing at Liam, Liam nodded his head and walked over to Ethan, grabbed his hands, and walked to their Mum's room. Ethan was the one who knocked, "Come in boys."They both walked in and found her seated on the bed with her head bowed. Liam and Ethan both stared at themselves and then returned their gaze to their mum, seated on the bed. They slowly walked to the bed, "Mum, what's wrong, you don't seem fine."She raised her head slowly with tears streaming down her eyes, "They hit me." "Who hit you?" They both asked."Adrian and Audrey, they hit me," she sobbed, Ethan and Liam were shocked, "You mean, they did this to you?""Yeah, they both hit me hard, it fucking hurt.""What did you do Mum, what did you do to them to warrant such treatment from them?" Liam
Chapter 95 Mrs. Isla lay on her bed thinking about what to do, there's no fucking way she is going to tell her husband about it. Even if he does it, there's every tendency that he won't even give her consent to do this.Her husband walked in and met her thinking, he couldn't resist the urge of not asking her about it. "You still want to be left alone?" She nodded her head, at the same time she felt she should let him in on what was currently going on."Can I talk to you about something?" She asked as she sat up, he turned towards her giving her a questioning look. "Yeah," he paused, still shocked, "Yes you can," he replied.He walked to the bed and joined her, sitting beside her, "Go on, I am listening.""You know I spoke to you about Adrian?""Yes I remember, you spoke to me about him wanting to take that which you have been working towards for the past year right?" She nodded her head, "Is that what is getting you worried?" He asked."Yes it is, at the same time it's not it," sh
Chapter 96Mr. Richard and the Mafia boss walked into a room filled with men and women in lab coats, "What are they doing here?"He paused and turned toward him, "These are the guys who help me in preparing one of my special commodities that have raked in a lot of millions for me.""You mean cocaine?" Mr. Richard asked, looking around, nodded his head, "Yeah cocaine, you know there's a lot of money in the hard drug business, but it's damn risky."Mr. Richard nodded his head as they walked to his office, "I know it is, but whosoever is ready to go into such business, should be ready for the risk that comes with it right?""Exactly, and that's why we are doing everything possible to make sure our cover doesn't get blown. Besides we have people in the police force who are currently helping us with information and helping us with the release of my men who got jailed," he said and sat down."I know about that, well the familiar saying that the wealthy ones rule the world is true and it
