2024-09-01 01:46:23“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. A maid came into the room with three traveling bag. “I took the liberty of packing everything you will need for this trip.” The butler said. “Wow, do I really need all that?” Adrian asked. Adrian’s parent walked into his room, “I hope you are ready to go Adrian, we will be leaving now.” His mother said. “Yes mom, I am ready to go, let us go now.” Diane looked at the packed bags in the room, “Wow, are these all you will use to go today, seems like you are really prepared.” “Yeah, I am prepared mom.” Adrian smiled. “The car should be set for your departure.” The butler said to them. “Thank you.” His father said. “Well what are we waiting for, we should get going.” “Yes, finally.” Adrian said. Adrian ran to his parents, his mother held his hand and they left the room. The three of them walked to the front of the mansion with the butler behind them. They reached the front door, opened it and went out of the mansion. One of the cars in the compound was parked in front of the mansion. Then the maids started to leave the house carrying the bags Adrian and his parents will use on the trip. The maids put the bags inside the trunk of the car. When the maids finished putting all the bags inside the trunk, Adrian and his parents went to the car. “You will stay at the back while your father and I stay in the front, your father is driving us there.” His mother said. “Sir, are you sure that I cannot drive you all there myself.” The butler said. “It is alright, I need you stay here and I keep an eye on the mansion and also the baby.” Reginald said. “Aright sir.” “And yes I almost forgot, and I promise this will be the last present.” Reginald said to Adrian. Reginald brought out a book that was inside the car, “This is one of my favorite book. I am sure it can help you, shape you like it did with me. With this you can figure out who you truly are.” “Wow thanks dad, of course I will read.” Adrian took the book from his father. The butler opened the back door and Adrian entered the car. His mother entered the front seat and his went to the driver’s seat. “I do hope you enjoy your time, I will be waiting for you right here.” The butler said. Reginald started to drive out of the compound. The big gate opened and as they were leaving the compound, Adrian looked back at the mansion. He did not realize how big the mansion was until now he was leaving, he was really happy. He turned back to his front and sat well on the seat. When the car left the compound Adrian looked through the window. This was the first time he was leaving the mansion and the compound so he was fascinated with everything he was seeing. They got to the city and Adrian realized that the mansion was away from the city, it was on its own. He did not know why but he did not think too much about it. Adrian was fascinated by the tall buildings and the people walking on the roads. “I know Adrian, the city is beautiful.” His father said while driving. “It really is, but why don’t we live in the city, won’t that be really nice.” Adrian said. “Well the city is beautiful but your father and I like our privacy, the city can be too much for some people, not everyone can handle it.” His mother replied. “I think I can handle it mom, if I am in the city or any city at all, I am sure I can handle it. This city is really big and amazing.” Adrian said. “I am sure you can handle it Adrian.” His mother smiled. “I cannot wait to go out into the city and explore it, just like in my books.” “It will take a while before we get to our destination so why don’t you get some rest.” His father said. Even though everything Adrian was looking at was fascinating to him, he still felt tired and sleepy. “Yeah, I feel tired, I guess I will just rest my eyes for some moments then I will continue my sightseeing.” Adrian said. Adrian sat back well on the seat and closed his eyes, and soon he slept off. After a long while, Adrian woke up and he could still feel the car moving. He opened his eyes closely and he looked at the front and saw his mother and father, “Are we there yet?” Adrian asked. “Seems like you are awake, well we are not there yet but we will be there soon.” His mother replied. Adrian looked out of the in window and saw that they were just leaving the city. Then he looked through the windshield and saw a train track ahead. His father kept on driving and then he saw a train about to pass, he tried to see if he could beat the train but he realized that the train was going really fast so he decided to stop. He hit the brakes but the car was not slowing down, he did not understand what was going on. He kept on trying the brakes but it was not doing anything, it did not take him for him to realize that the brakes has failed. He did not know what to do, he tried as much as he could not to panic so that he will not scare Adrian. Diane noticed that they were reaching the train and the car was not slowing down so she looked at Reginald. She saw his facial reaction and how he was hitting the breaks and it did not take long for her to also realize that the brakes failed.

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. Adrian got to the book and as he was about to get back to his seat. The train crashed into the car. The car tumbled over multiples time and Adrian passed out. After a while, Adrian woke up. His whole body was in pains and it was hard to bare. His face was bleeding with some parts of his body. He was still inside the car but he could not move, the car was upside down. He looked at the front of the car and saw his parents hanging and they were not moving. He did not know what to do and he could not react because he had no control of his body. He started to hear sounds outside the car, it was the soun

“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

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.

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.

The worker went on to get his coffee and he hoped it will take some time because Ciera was not there yet. “Here you go sir.” The worker brought his coffee. “Will you want anything else?” Adrian was surprised that it did not take time for his coffee to arrive and Ciera was not yet around. “No thank you.” Adrian took the coffee.

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 wondered if she had gotten the money he told Benedict to transfer to her. But seeing that there is no news about him means that he has left Sarah, which is still okay.

Adrian moved away from the door." "And if you don't want to stay at work this late you should come to work on time." Sarah said.

Ciera had her own private room which was separate from the other rooms in thr hotel so it was not hard to find. He knew that Ciera had already called for a room service so he had to intercept the person bringing it to her. He waited close to her room for a while, then he saw one of the hotel workers coming with the things Ceira ordered, so he went to the worker. "Sorry, you are taking that to the owner's room right?" 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. "Oh, aright then, I don't want any issue with the manager. He has been ex

Adrian stopped in one of the parks in the city and started to look around, it was as if he was looking for someone. Then he saw Ciera, she was on her workout outfit jogging around the park. He brought his cap down a bit to cover his face more and went closer to her. With the help of her social media account, Adrian was able to tell that Ciera goes on a jog and pass through this park. Ciera jogged around the park a couple times then left the park and Adrian followed her behind at a distance. Ceria stopped when she saw a woman carrying a baby in a stroller.

I have the pictures and more prove on my phone so don't try anything funny, you don't know me and I can come at you anytime, anywhere."

"Well I cannot do that yet, at least the outcome of this will tell if I let you go or not." Adrian walked backwards away from the man. "Of course I know who you are, I have done research on you while you were unconscious. And this also helped a lot." Adrian brought out a phone from his pocket, it was the man phone.
