Adrian could not believe that there would be another gift better than the one his parents already gave him. “Yes, we also know that we don’t let you leave this mansion so we decided to take you on a vacation trip, just the three of us in one of our private villa.” His father said. Adrian very happy, he had so much excitement in him. It was as if his day just kept on getting better and better. “Where are we going? Where is the villa?” Adrian was excited. “Well it is a bit far from here, it’s a beach. We will go tomorrow so pack your things early in the morning so we can leave on time.” His mother said. “And of course your baby brother will not be joining us, he is too young to travel so he will stay here and be taken care of by the maids.” She continued. Adrian could not wait for tomorrow, he jumped off his chair and the butler went to him and held him. “Where are you going to Adrian?” His mother asked. “Well I want to go to bed now so that when I wake up it will be tomorrow, I can’t wait.” Adrian replied. His parents smiled, “Well then what are we going to do about all this foods and the cake.” His father said. “Well at least cut the cake and eat it a little, it is your birthday.” His mother said. “Alright mom.” Adrian said. Without saying anything, the butler went to the table and took the cake. He brought the cake closer to Adrian. “Make a wish and blow out the candles.” His mother said. Adrian stood on his chair so that he could reach the candles on the cake, “I wish that things will continue like this. I wish that I can get to leave this mansion and explore the world.” Adrian wished and then blew out the candles. His parents started to clap as they smiled. Adrian loved this moment and he wished that it will never end. The butler brought out a small knife and sliced the cake. And after that, he brought out a piece of the cake and gave it to Adrian. Adrian ate the cake, “Goodnight mom and dad, thanks for making today great.” “Well you don’t ever need to thank us, we would do anything for you.” His mother said. Adrian walk quickly out of the dining room leaving his parents. He quickly got to his room and entered it. He ran and jumped on his bed then covered himself with his blanket. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep but he was too excited to sleep. So he decided read one of his books. He left his bed and went over to his bookshelf. On the bookshelf, there were many books of different kinds but most of it were about adventures and human beings. Adrian liked to read books, since there was nothing much he could do in the mansion he picked up the hobby of reading. He was homeschooled, his parents got him the best private teachers they could find and because of that, Adrian learnt how to read at a very age which made him smart and intelligent. He got a book from the shelf, he could not get the one he wanted because it was too high for him to reach. He normally ask a maid or the butler to help with books he cannot reach but it was already late so he did not want to disturb any of them. When he got the book, he went back on his bed and started to read it. He was immediately engrossed in the book and it took his mind off the event that will happen tomorrow. After a while of reading, Adrian well asleep with the book opened in his hand. Adrian’s parents walked into his room and saw him sleeping on his bed with the lights on. His mother went to him while his father stayed at the door. She took the book from Adrian’s hand and kept it back on the book shelf. She went back to Adrian and placed the blanket on him well, then she went closer to him and gave him a soft kiss. “Sleep tight my sweet brilliant boy.” She whispered. After that she went back to the door where her husband was, they left the room and went to their own room. They reached their room and went into it. Reginald sat down on the bed with his head bent low while Diane sat down on a chair in front of the mirror in the room. “So we are doing this tomorrow.” Reginald said. “We have to do it. That is the least we can do for him, and we would spend time away from all this with our son.” Diane said. “I suppose you are right.” “Is it weird that I feel free now?” Diane asked. “No it is not. Our boy is smart, he will be able to survive right?” “Of course he will be able to survive.” She assured him. “Enough with all this, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow so let us try and enjoy it. I for one cannot wait for tomorrow.” She smiled. “Yeah, so come to bed and let us get some sleep.” Diane stood up from the chair and went to the bed, she laid down and covered herself with the blanket. Reginald laid on the bed and held Diane tightly. It was morning and Adrian was already awake, he was in the bath room getting prepared. He took his bath, brushed his teeth and the butler helped him pick out clothes to wear. His bag was already set and the maid had already packed all the necessary things he will need but he went on to put some of his books in the bag. There was no way he was not going to bring a book along.

“I think that is all I need, I am set.” Adrian said to himself. “Not quite master Adrian.” The butler said. “There are still more things you need to pack. And most you carry all those books master Adrian.” “Well you cannot have way too many books and I need something to keep myself busy. But you know, honestly I hope I don’t have to read any of this books.” “And why is that?” The butler asked. “Well if I don’t have a chance to read any of the books it means that I will be having a lot of fun at the villa with my parents, I won’t be bored to read the book.” Adrian explained. “I hope this vacation goes the way you want it to go Master Adrian.” “I hope so too, but you said that there are still more things I need pack, what are they?” The butler went to the door and opened it.

Adrian also noticed that the car was not slowing even though they were getting closer to the train tracks. He sat up to see what was happening and then the book his father gave him fell down to the floor of the car. He went down to get the book, his parents looked at each other, and there were tears coming out of his mother’s eyes. They knew that there was nothing they could do.

“You know one day you guys will make me go crazy.” Adrian said. “And to be honest that is the day I cannot wait for, the day Adrian goes crazy.” Diego said. Adrian left the room and went back to waiting the tables. After a while he took his phone out of his pocket and checked the time. “Well I guess it’s time for my break.” Adrian said to himself. He went to the back room and dropped the tray he was holding. After he did that, he left the hotel and stayed at the back. He leaned on the wall, brought out a cigarette from his pocket and started to smock. Soon someone came out of the back door, he looked to see who it was and it was Caroline. Caroline had blonde hair with blue eyes, she was fair and had smooth skin as if she had not done any hardship in her life, it was odd for someone who spent her life growing up in an orphanage. She saw Adrian and went to him. “I didn’t imagine you as someone that smokes.” Caroline asked Adrian. She lean on the wall next to Adrian, “W

Adrian did not see himself as the leader of the group, because he was not into little titles like that. The city was always loud and lively but Adrian was used to it, he had lived here for years now so he did not let it distract him. “Guess what I got guys.” Dan said to them. Dan brought out a whine from the bag he was holding and smiled, “Where did you get that from?” Diego asked. “Another privilege for working in a place like that, I just snatched a whine from the cellar, and I doubt they will notice that it is gone. There were like hundreds there.” Dan said as he opened the wine and started to drink it. “You know that there are going to notice that one is missing, they have someone who does inventory in the cellar everyday.” Adrian said without turning back. “Well that is certainly a problem.” Dan said and took another sip of

He went on and left the apartment building and starting thinking. He knew that with the position he was in now, it was going to be hard to get to the position he wants to get to. Growing up in the orphanage he did not have the best education and the only job he can get now with his level of education was a job behind a desk and he knew he cannot do that. He had little or money and no connection so he had to figure out a way to get to the top in a short amount of time because he had already wasted a lot of time. Since there was no way he could get to the top and get to his parents level through a normal everyday job, he had to think of other ways to get that kind of money. He spent so many years thinking about it. Now he had an idea and he has been working towards it, and the first step has already been made which was getting a job at the hotel. Getting his friends the same job in the hotel was not his initial plan but he had to do it because he felt like he owed them that.

“If that is true then why am I only seeing her now?” Adrian was interested. “Well she doesn’t come here often but when she does, she stays in the hotel for a while.” “But doesn’t she seem young to own something like this.” Adrian said. “Well I don’t know the full details but it is her husband that bought the hotel for her, well let’s just say he is in a whole different level in terms of money. Michael was just an average guy. He was the only son of a middle class. With the connection he had he got a job which he just doing because he has so much free time. “What are you guys looking at?” Caroline came in between Adrian and Michael.

The only one I can see now is you, so there is no other person I can be looking at.” Michael tries to flirt with Caroline. “I don’t think I have h

While they were walking, Adrian could not stop thinking about what was up with Sarah. Normally he would not care and continue with his own business but the thought was occupied by a memory back at the orphanage. It was a cold night and it has been two years since Adrian came to the orphanage. He was depressed, wondering if his parents will ever come to take him back home even after knowing that there were dead. Because of the whole thought, he did not talk to anyone, and some of the other children in the orphanage could tell that he was different. He was not acting like someone who grew up from nothing like the rest of them and they bullied him for it. That night he was in the hallway in his wheelchair reading a book, the same book his father gave him. While he read, someone took the book from him, he looked up and saw three boys in front of him, the same boys that bully him. "Well look at that, he is reading. And what are you reading?" One of the boys took the book and l

They all walked into the building, it was narrow at first but then it became wide. There were a lot of people inside it, it seemed more like a very exclusive night club and not a sign of fighting around. “Okay, not that I am complaining but are you sure this is the place Dan?” Diego smiled. “Well it should be, I mean shouldn’t it.” Dan replied. Adrian looked around and tried to analyze the room. He saw that most of the people here were rich and there were guards all over the place. He noticed that the place was bigger that it seemed and then he noticed when someone came out of another door, before the door closed he got a quick look inside. “We are at the right place.” Adrian said to them. “Follow me.” He started to walk towards the door. They followed him and went to door. They reached the door and entered. Now they were in a different room, they were ordinary people here. Big TVs were hanged on the walls and it was playing the fights that was going on. “Wow.” Da

He knew that there was nothing he could about meeting her again, the day was already over. He thought that it might be for the best that he could not meet her today because it will be too much of a coincidence if they meet twice the same day they met for the first time. Adrian went to the back room and saw his friends there, “Seems like you guys are ready to go.” Adrian said to them. They left the hotel through the back exit and went on home. As they walked through the streets, Adrian could notice that Dan was in a happy mood, he could not help but wonder if it is because of the conversation he had with the man back at the hotel.

Seeing her now made him remember what he did to Benedict yesterday. "Hello Adrian." Sarah replied. "Caroline must have told you that I had to stay past my shift today, that is why I am coming back this late." "Yeah she told me."

Adrian asked the worker. "Yeah, I'm here for her room service." The worker replied. "Why don't I take this off you, you can get some rest." Adrian said. "But why would I do that?" "Well the manager sent me to do the work, you know how he is, he wants everything to be perfect. Plus he gave me a message to deliver to the owner." Adrian said.
