It was evening in the big city, the five of them where heading home after work. Adrian was in the front while the four of them where behind him.
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 the vine. “But then they will not know who took the wine so we are safe.” He continued. Dan was the obnoxious and loud type. He was a rebel who always like to break the rules and have fun. He was easy for Adrian to control and manipulate but sometimes he could be unpredictable and that was Adrian’s only problem with him. Dan was the oldest In the group, when he came to the orphanage he kept on getting into trouble, stealing and doing some drugs which landed him in juvenile prison most of the time. But now he is older he has calm down a little, he knew that there would permanent and severe consequences for his actions. He had black long hair and his body was built which made him look intimidating to some people. “Well don’t drink everything, give me some.” Diego took the whine from Dan. After a while, Dan and Diego where holding each other, discussing and laughing. They were already tipsy from the whine. Caroline took the wine from Diego, “Well I guess that is enough whine for now.” “Wait wait, why most you be a fun crusher that is Adrian’s job.” Diego said as he laughed with Dan. “Well at least we are almost home.” Adrian said. Adrian stopped when they were on a hill, “Why have we stopped, we are almost home.” Sarah asked while pressing her phone. Caroline walked closer to Adrian, “Yeah I know this city can be messed up most of the time but there is no doubting that it is really beautiful.” They were watching the sunset, since they where at the top of hill it was a nice view. They could see the sun going down slowly and if was beautiful. “Yeah I know it is beautiful.” Adrian said. They all looked at the sunset together and after a while Sarah walked past them, “Well you guys are cute, if you are going to fuck you should do it already.” Sarah said to Adrian and Caroline. It was an awkward moment for Adrian and Caroline so they stopped looking at the sunset and went on to their home. They got home, it was an apartment buidling. They all lived in one apartment together. They went into the building and got to their apartment. They entered and immediately Dan and Diego threw themselves on the couch. There were three rooms in the apartment, Adrian and Sarah had their own room while Caroline shared a room with Diego and Dan sleeps on the couch or sometimes uses Sarah’s or Adrian’s room. “Well I will need to go to the bathroom, I need to freshen up. I am going to a club this evening, someone is expecting me.” Sarah said. It was hard for Adrian to read Sarah because she is the type of person that does not care about most things or maybe she is just pretending not to care. She always goes out to clubs and parties. Adrian could tell that she was smart, she knew what she wanted and her only problem was getting it. She knew who she was and she always use her womanly charm to get what she wants. Her hair was black and long, she had a really nice figure which she liked to show with the clothes she wears and she also was a bit short. “I might not be back till tomorrow morning.” Sarah continued. Sarah went to the shower and Adrian went to his room in the apartment. Adrian closed the door and locked it so that he will not be disturbed. Adrian has not told the group how he grew up in a mansion and how wealthy his parents was. He assumed that there was no use in letting them know. He did not like to tell people too much about himself, he did not want to be vulnerable to anyone. He went to a corner of his room, there was a bag there with all his possession in it. He did not have much in the bag because he did not own much. He went to the bag and opened it then brought out a book from it. It was the same book his father gave him when they were about to leave the mansion so many years ago. When he was in a wheel chair, all he could do was read the book and when he finished the book, he would read it again from beginning.. “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.” Adrian remembered what his father said when he gave him the book. He still don’t understand what his father meant when he said that, and now he had read the book multiple times it just made him confused. The book was about manipulation and how the human mind works, its needs and wants. Adrian dropped the book back into the bad and laid on his bed. He brought out his phone from his pocket and unlocked it. He did not use his phone much but now he was browsing about the hotel he worked in. In the past Adrian tried to search his parents up on the internet but he could not find anything on them. There was no trace of them on the internet and with the kind of wealth they had it was unusual. Because he was young when the accident happened and the fact that he never left the mansion before, he had no way of finding his way back home. Adrian gave up on looking for his home or trying to go back to how things were before. Now all he wanted to do was get to the position his parents were in, all by himself in any way possible. He felt like it was the least he could do for his parents. He has already started his plans to get to that position and he knew that it was going to take a lot of time but he did not mind that as far as he gets there. But one thing always crossed his mind and that was the thought of what happened to his step brother. He assumed that he will still be alive somewhere. And now his stepbrother would have grown so even if he saw him now he would not be able to recognize him.He finished checking what he was checking on his phone and then dropped the phone on a small table close to his bed. He laid down there for a while and he slept off. He woke up and immediately took his phone. He checked the time and realized that he just slept for 2hrs. He stood up from his bed and stretched a bit. He still felt tired but he did not want to lie down immediately he woke up. So he decided to leave his room. He opened the door and he saw Caroline in the living room, she was placing a blanket on Diego who was asleep on the couch. Caroline is Diego’s older sister. They both were in the orphanage and since then Caroline has been taking care of Diego. From what Adrian could tell, Caroline’s mother left her and Diego in the orphanage when she was very young and Diego was still a baby. Her mother left her saying that she will come back later to get them but she never came. Since her mother did not come to get her, she became became a mother to Diego which made her
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. Caroline looked at the direction they were looking at figured out what they were looking at, “Why are you guys looking at the owner of the hotel?” Michael turned to Caroline, “Hey there beautiful. 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
Adrian laid on his bed for a while waiting for Sarah to leave. He thought of forgetting about her and continue planning his goal but the past kept on going through his head so he had to do something. He started to feel sleepy, he eyes became heavy and it was about to close but then he heard someone open the front door of the apartment. He immediately opened his eyes, stood up from his bed and went to his door. He open his door a little to see who it was, he saw Sarah leaving the apartment. When Sarah closed the door and left, he immediately got his head cap and came out of his room. He saw Dan sleeping on one of the couch and there was no sign of Caroline in the living room and he was glad. He did not want Caroline to see him leaving the apartment to avoid questions from her. He left the apartment without making too much noise, Sarah had already gone a distance so he had to increase his pace. He ran to the stairs and waited for her to leave the apartment building. Whe
"Who are you? What do you want from me? Do you know who I am?" The man asked. Adrian went closer to him, "Well I know you are a bully, an entitled one." "What do you mean by that? Let me go!" "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. The man looked at Adrian and realized that it was his phone, "What are you doing with my phone? What do you want?" "Benedict Newman, normally known as ben. Parent are multi billionaires who made their money on real estate. You went to different school growing up, the best schools actually but you have always been kind of a problem child that is why you went from one school to another, you always cause trouble. Now you don't really have any reasonable job, just livin
Ben started to feel dizzy, everything started to become distorted, he was slowly getting high. "Please don't leave me like this." Adrian went towards Ben and dropped his phone close to his legs, "Here is your phone. I will be going now, have a nice night. 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." Adrian walked away from the man, went out of the warehouse and removed the mask he was wearing. He felt good with what he just did, he felt alive and he loved it. He went back to the club to check up on Sarah. He entered the club and walked slowly to where he saw Sarah the last time with Ben. He reached and saw Sarah passed out there with the rest of the girls. Luckily the club was less filled now. He walked away and went out of the club. He was glad that what he did worked out because it was not something he has been planning. He just started planning when he saw what Ben was doing t
Adrian went out of the apartment building and started to walk to his destination. He knew that he was already late so he walked quickly to meet up. He did not mind going to work late, he was already on the manager's good side. He just have to tell the manager that he was sick and that will be all. 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. She played with the baby a little and Adrian watched her. While digging for information on her, Adrain did not find m
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
The day went by fast and Adrian was still working, Ciara had not come down from her room and he was still thinking of a way to meet her. His shift was over and he still haven’t thought of anything. 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. They reached the apartment building and went into their apartment. Dan went and sat down on the couch, and Adrian went towards his room. “I was
Adrian left the apartment and now he was heading to the restaurant with the book in his hand. He only hoped that everything will woke out the way he planned it to. He reached the restaurant and checked his phone for the time, and he was on time, Ciera has not arrived yet so he entered. Inside was the same way it was before, and he walked slowly to the counter. “What can I get for you today sir?” The worker asked him when he reached the counter. “I will have a latte.” Adrian replied. 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. Adrian stayed where he was for a while waiting. After a while Ciera had not come to the restaurant. He got tired of waiting, he could not stay in the restaurant any
Adrian got to the apartment building and went to his apartment. He walked into the apartment and saw Sarah who was about leaving. "Oh, hey Sarah." He said to her. 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. "Alright then, I will need to go to bed now, I am feeling really tired." Adrian said. "Yeah and I will need to leave the apartment but you are in front of the door." "Oh yeah sorry about that." 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. Sarah left the apartment after she said that and Adrian went to his room.
Adrian was upstairs in the hotel section. He had no business doing the actual work, all he wanted was getting into Ciera's room. 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
