2024-10-29 19:42:56A lot? Adair thought it was ridiculous. How could one have a lot of sisters?
Even if there was really someone who had a lot of sisters, he should've heard about it somehow.The woman who had been looking at him the whole time took out her phone and moved closer to him. "Let's add each other."Adair exited his messaging app and went ahead to add her. Seconds later, he saw a notification and realized he had been added to a group.Sister: Let's welcome Adair back.The group which had been silent earlier suddenly got flooded with numerous messages.FieryHeart: You're welcome, Adair. You can come to me in the future if you face any difficulty.ShinyDiamond: You're welcome, Adair. You are also free to come to me if you face any difficulty in the future.Similar messages also dropped. There were so many that he couldn't stop trying to read them but before he left his messaging app, he realized 90 percent of the group members were women."You're free to come to us if you face any difficulty in the future. Just like they've said, we'll all be happy to help you." Said the woman who he realized had been staring at him the whole time."You're also free to find your wives amongst us."Adair choked on his saliva and couldn't help laughing. He walked into the hospital afterward while Sister parked her car probably."Take her very far from here!" The crisp voice of the doctor was the first thing Adair heard as soon as he stepped into the hospital.He raised his head to notice everyone seemed to be looking at something with an amused look in their eyes. But none stepped forward to do anything."No..please..." A weak voice, which he couldn't mistake, pleaded. Anyone could tell the voice belonged to a sick child and yet no one stepped forward to help.Adair quickly slipped his phone into his pocket and ran towards the direction of the voice where he saw a security man manhandling his sister.Without thinking, he rushed towards him, grabbed Halsey gently and shoved him to the ground. The strength had come out of nowhere.The security man who couldn't shoulder the shame of being pushed to the ground by a boy who looked no less than 18, hastily got up and raised his baton when a cold voice stopped him."And what do you think you're about to do?" Adair glanced behind him to see Sister walking towards him.Dr. Hayes didn't care who she was as she didn't look like any famous person that he knew. So he ignored her and spoke harshly to the security man who still had his hand held up in agitation."Be quick and get rid of these eyesores. Hit them if they show any resistance.""Why exactly are you chasing us away?" Adair, whose eyes had gone cold, asked. The temperature in the room also dropped."Because I can't afford to waste more beds on your half-dead sister. You can't afford the hospital bills, then take her home to die." Dr. Hayes seethed in righteous indignation.With every word he said, Adair's eyes darkened the more."What if I told you I have enough money to pay for the surgery and offset my former debts?"There was no need hiding the disgust he felt towards Adair. Hence, Dr. Hayes didn't bother sugarcoating his next words."Even I haven't gotten upto 200 million. Saying you have it is simply a wishful thinking you have. Now take your half-dead sister and scram!""Then shall we make a bet?" Adair asked, raising his eyes to meet with Dr. Hayes, something in it looking murderous. "Do you accept to kowtow ten times and call me Daddy if I really have more than 200 million in my account?"Dr. Hayes laughed haughtily. Something in him told him to hold back but for the past few weeks, he knew how poor Adair was. The boy and his sister couldn't even afford a simple meal. Even the clothes he wore weren't the kind of clothes one with such a massive amount would dare to wear.In his opinion, Adair was simply bluffing and he couldn't wait to see the boy embarrass himself."I will even resign as a doctor in this hospital. Just show us the money."Something flickered in Adairs eyes but he said nothing. There were more than twenty people around, so he was assured Dr. Hayes wouldn't go back on his words.He stabled Halsey firmly with one hand while the other slipped into his pocket and took out his phone. He opened his banking app where the balance glared at whoever looked at it.He walked towards Dr. Hayes but before he passed the phone to him, he called out to three people closeby.When they came closer, he brightened his phone's screen and gasps of disbelief flew out of their mouth.Dr. Hayes stared at the amount for a considerable amount of time but scoffed seconds later. He simply couldn't believe it and chose to believe Adair had done something to alter his actual account balance."There's an app that does this. Admit you altered your account balance!" He yelled, glaring daggers at Adair.Adair was speechless. The man was simply shameless. But he ignored the doctor and slipped his phone into his pocket once again."I've kept to my own end of the deal, now do yours. Kowtow ten times to me and resign from this hospital."Almost immediately, everyone's eyes darted towards Dr. Hayes who refused to believe Adair could have such a huge amount in his account balance."Adair kept to his own end of the deal, it's only befitting you do same." Sister said and a few of the people around concurred.However, the very next moment, Dr. Hayes scoffed, "It was just a deal to a low commoner. It doesn't matter.""If this matter gets to the press, your reputation as a respectable doctor will go down the drain, Dr. Hayes." Someone from the crowd said but a glare from Dr. Hayes sent him disappearing into the crowd.Most of the people in this part of the hospital weren't influential enough to tell Dr. Hayes what to do. So he planned on threatening them to keep shut then he'd dismiss the matter.He turned to Adair and flashed an insincere smile, "Since you have the money for the surgery to go on. Then I suggest we shouldn't waste any more time."He tried to touch Adair's shoulder but he took a step backward which left Dr. Hayes hand hanging on midair. Embarrassed, Dr. Hayes brought down his hand, anger flashing past his eyes."A deal is a deal. Not keeping to something as small as this means you can't be trusted to make an important deal with it." Adair said with a frown.Dr. Hayes thought Adair was beginning to feel important. How could he lay down his position in the hospital, a position hundreds of doctors envied because of a stupid bet he made with a kid.Sister's eyes narrowed coldly as she already guessed his thought. Just then, a middle-aged man came scrambling right into their midst.Upon recognizing him, Dr. Hayes ran to him and shamelessly said, "It's a good thing you're here, Mr. Morton. This young boy and his sister have been staying in this hospital for the past two weeks. But now that he has gotten the right amount for the surgery, he has refused to pay."Everyone who had been watching the show from the beginning and knew everything which had happened, was dumbfounded.How Dr. Hayes had quickly turned the matter to favor him was something they termed as shameless but none of them could expose him for fear of being targeted.However, the middle-aged man, Eddie Morton, the head doctor of the hospital, didn't act like he heard him.He had been in his office tending to some matters via zoom conference call when he received a call from the board of directors that the hospital and position he so cherished was about to be taken out of his hands because someone even they couldn't afford to offend had been offended.Eddie had never been contacted by any of the directors directly other than through their assistants. Hence when he received the call, he knew the matter was way above him and delaying was dangerous.His eyes soon settled on Sister who refused to look at him and he shuddered. Dr. Hayes, who hadn't gotten the hint to stay quiet, followed his eyes until they settled on Sister.Without thinking, he said, "She came along with them. I strongly believe they are fraudsters..."With long strides, Eddie stopped in front of Sister and bowed so hard that his head almost touched his knees. "I had no idea you were coming, Boss. Please, accept my apologies."The entire room suddenly stilled and Dr. Hayes suddenly felt extremely hot.

The stillness in the room remained with Eddie still having his head bent all the way down. Dr. Hayes didn't dare to breathe too fast. Just then, a second generation heir walked out of the elevator. Dr. Hayes' eyes widened like he suddenly realized something. "I think you got the wrong person, Mr. Morton. You made a mistake. The special guest who visited isn't a female but a male. This right here is—" A crisp sound sounded then an even more eerie silence took place. Dr. Hayes opened his eyes wide in surprise. Glancing between the second generation heir and Sister, he couldn't believe Eddie made such a mistake but in order not to get slapped again, he kept silent. Eddie on the other hand, felt his heart in his mouth as he quickly bowed again. Here he was trying to clean up the mess Dr. Hayes had done as quietly as possible but the stupid man didn't seem to know when to talk and when not to. "Please forgive my negligence. I'll deal with this matter as soon as possible." Eddie said,

Halsey's eyes fluttered open. She expected to feel the excruciating pain inside her head as usual but to her surprise, she felt fine. Even healthy. She had fallen asleep in the middle of an argument between her brother and the corridor filled with people picking on them. Although she knew there wasn't much she could do, she still felt she could've been supportive by staying awake. Being sucked into her world of self-pity that she failed to notice she was on an extremely comfortable bed and the room's temperature was just right. Even the monitor above her head which kept beeping every second should've told her she was in a hospital ward. "Halsey?" Adair, who had been thinking about his life all morning, called out to her the moment he sensed she was awake. She gave no reply as she hadn't heard. Hence, he got up and walked towards her. Extending a finger, he touched her neck to feel her temperature. His cold finger transported her back to the hospital ward. "Adair?" She called wea

Sister dipped her hand into her pocket and took out a black card. "I've been carrying it with me for three years with hopes that I'll give it to you soon. I'm glad I was able to." Adair collected the card and slipped it into his pocket without looking at it. He was no longer the poor Adair Huxley who would awe whenever he saw a luxurious car. As impossible as it sounded, the present Adair could have anything and everything he wants."I promised Halsey she'll eat her favourite foods once she wakes up. I should go." He said, intending to walk away when Sister appeared in front of him. "You don't need to stress yourself. I can have people deliver trays of food to her room. Aren't you curious to see what I've done with the wealth and power you entrusted into my care?" She asked in an unhurried tone. "You've done well with it obviously. So much that 300 million dollars doesn't seem like a lot." Adair chuckled. Colour slowly crept onto Sister's face, but she turned it away before he co
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley Apologize For Disrespecting My Wife
Collette had a conflicted look on her face when she heard Mason. She knew he'd really order his men to beat up Adair if Adair didn't do as he said. "My husband acted without thinking. I apologize on his behalf." She apologized, her eyes meeting with Mason's haughty eyes. However, Mason drew back his chair and sat on it, then he waved at the highly trained bodyguards he always walked around with. "Break his legs, but don't hurt the girl." He instructed and the three of them advanced towards Adair. From a glance, one could tell it wasn't their first time doing something like this. They were also eager because they knew satisfying Mason means a raise in their salaries. Without much thought, they advanced towards the lanky Adair. The one in front carelessly reached out to grab Adair, but had his hand grabbed instead. He struggled to release his hand for a few seconds, but realized he couldn't. The veins on his neck bulged when he saw his hand bend to the wrong direction, breaking i

"You're out of your mind if you think I'll ever apologize to you or your wretched wife!" Mason kept yelling, he refused to believe Steven would side with a person like Adair. Adair suddenly recalled Halsey who was still in the hospital and frowned. He still had to go to the delivery company he worked for. With that thought in mind, he decided to let Steven handle the situation. "He has two minutes to apologize to my wife." Adair declared, then pulled out the chair next to him for Collette. Collette was yet to understand why Steven was on their side and this made her nervous because men like Steven were not to be trusted.However, with Adair's eyes giving her the impression he'd take care of it, she sat down on the chair he pulled out.Steven bowed to Adair again and turned to Mason whose clothes now looked disheveled. He had quickly gotten up on his feet as soon as Adair released his hold on him. "Mr. Harrison, you've caused unrest in my hotel and even threatened the life of my m

Trevor, who was in an extremely bad mood, paused when he saw his worthless cousin in-law. Although Collette and Adair had gotten married in secret, being the most beautiful female in Crest Ville, a lot of people had their eyes on Collette. Everyone refused to believe the town's most beautiful female was getting married to someone who had no idea who he was and was obviously poor. The Pitt's family worth had been shaken a little due to the scandal, but they still remained at the top of the food chain. "Is this where you work now?" Trevor asked condescendingly. The former Adair would've lowered his head immediately and nodded rigorously. But this Adair pretended not to hear Trevor as he walked past him and headed into the manager's office. The manager, George Garfield who knew all about Adair and the Pitt's family quickly reprimanded Adair, "That is no way to speak to a customer. Apologize to him right now or I'll fire you!" Adair stared at George for a brief second before he grabb

The Pitt's Family Mansion Trevor stormed into the living room apparently livid with anger. The immediate family members consisted of the elderly Sarah Pitt and her two sons— her first son, David, second son, John and third son, Benjamin. Then David's wife; Olivia Pitt, John's wife; Abigail Pitt and Benjamin's wife, Layla Pitt. The patriarch of the family, Splane Pitt died more than ten years ago and Sarah had been shouldering all responsibilities ever since. Sarah had five grandchildren; Trevor and Alice, David's children. Evelyn and Noah who are twins, John's children and finally, Collette who is Benjamin's daughter. Being the first grandson of the family, Trevor's status in the family and company is higher than everyone else's other than his grandmother's. The first and second family all had prominent spots in the family's company. Layla and Benjamin on the other end had long been kicked out of the company after the scandal their daughter caused. Even the extended members in
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley Getting A House
After more than two weeks in the hospital, Halsey was finally deemed fit to return back home. The wooden door was pushed open and Collette gently led Halsey inside the house. The house was a small, simple space with basic furnishings and minimal decoration.The walls were unpainted and the bare floor was covered in cheap carpet. There were a few chairs arranged around a coffee table, the furniture old, mismatched, and in need of repair.The lighting was limited to a single overhead fixture. There were no curtains on the window and no decorative items such as pictures or plants making the pace feel bare and utilitarian."I'll make something for us to eat." Collette said as soon as she helped Halsey lay down. Adair gulped down forcefully. "Why don't we just eat out? Remember the manager at Kings Hotel said we can pay for anything we eat with the card he gave us." "And I told you he might've gotten the wrong person." Collette replied walking towards the kitchen sink which was situated

The End
"Hello, stranger." Collette heard as she picked up an apple. She didn't need to turn around to confirm who it was. "If you hadn't shown up, I'd have been left with no choice than to believe that you have a conscience." Collette smiled, her back still turned to Hannah. "Conscience?" Hannah scoffed and walked to the shelf housing the apples. "I wasn't in a very good place when I put you in a coma which unfortunately lasted for seven years. In those seven years, Adair hasn't been much of a good ex-lover and he's been hurting. Staying out of sight and reach was the only way to guarantee my safety and that of my brother's." "Ah, I see." Collette smiled, then turned to face Hannah squarely, "My mom has absolutely no idea that her daughter was in coma for seven years. But she's throwing a feast for her return to Crest Ville after seven years of traveling the world. And everyone's invited. Even her enemies aren't left out." "Strange. Your mother doesn't strike me like such a magnanimous w

You've Been In Comatose For Seven Years
Seven Years Later A redhead, clad in baggy pants and a crop top which left her belly button out in the open, nimbly walked up the stairs of the hospital and walked towards an elevator. The elevator opened to reveal a couple making out in it. They quickly composed themselves and lowered their heads in embarrassment when they saw her. The girl smiled and placed leaned on the elevator, closing her ears as she listened to the soft sound made by the elevator as it headed up. After three minutes, the elevator slid open, and she walked out of it, what looked like a school bag, slung across her shoulder. Behind her, the couple in the elevator couldn't help poking out their head in both surprise and awe just before the doors of the elevator closed again and sent them back. This was because no one apart from the family of the person on this floor was allowed up. And it was no news that the family of this person who occupied the whole floor owned the foundation.

I Can't Lose To Adair
Despite Tucker's threats, Adair didn't bother with him as he bent over and carried Benjamin in his arms. “Kill her.” Tucker spoke into his phone. However, he heard nothing from the owner of the phone. “I think he's dead.” A familiar voice sounded instead. “Jordan? Of course, you're alive, and Adair had everything contained as usual.” Tucker seethed angrily and quickly left the store. He hadn't gotten far when some men, who had their faces covered, walked up to him. Almost immediately, a van pulled in front of them, and he entered the van with them. Tucker hissed numerous times as he tried his best to contain the fact he lost to Adair once again. The van drove for over an hour before it stopped under a tunnel. Tucker alighted from the van and got into a black Lincoln which was parked just beside it. The Lincoln drove out afterward and headed straight to a seven-star hotel. “Why am I being summoned when I haven't done anything?” Tucker complained as soon as he walked into a privat

Have I Ever Told You How Desperate I Am To Kill You?
It took Adair precisely eleven minutes to get to where Tucker held Halsey and Benjamin hostage. He walked in on Tucker spraying something on an unconscious Benjamin. But despite being unconscious, Benjamin would wince in pain whenever it touched him. “Don't you feel ashamed picking on someone lesser than you?” Adair mocked, making his presence known. His words didn't deter Tucker, who kept throwing the water at Benjamin. “Who said he's lesser than I? Someone who Adair Huxley calls father-in-law isn't lesser than me.” “That's that, but I still don't see how a man in his early forties is a threat to you who's more than a thousand years old.” Adair shrugged and found himself a chair to sit on. Tucker dropped the spray he held on the table and glanced above his shoulders to see Adair's cold eyes. “Those cold eyes. Why does it seem like you turned off your emotions?” Tucker asked in surprise. He was yet to hear the news about Collette getting into an accident, since Adair's men were

“No!” Zane yelled and got up to his feet as soon as possible. However, Sharon didn't fall like he expected because someone else had taken the bullet for her. “Grab her and get out of here.” Jordan hissed, as he dug his claws into his chest and pulled out the bullet lodged in it. Tucker raised his brow before flinging the gun away. “Jordan Hale. It's been a long time.” “I hoped you'd be dead by this time of the year. What a pity that good people die early, while bad people live the longest.” Jordan said in spite. “True. That's why you, Adair, Hannah and I have lived this long.” Tucker chuckled. He had better things to do, such as torturing someone with the name Benjamin Pitt, so he didn't want to waste time with Jordan. Without another word, he rushed towards Jordan and grabbed him violently by the neck, then threw him hard against the wall. Cobweb-like cracks appeared in the spot where Jordan came in contact with. The temporary pain didn't deter him, as Jordan got up almost imme

Adair and Hannah stared at each other for a long time. Then she lowered her head to her phone and increased its volume. “A few minutes ago, there was a ghastly accident which involved a drunk driver and a beautiful young woman. It's revealed that she bears the name Collette Huxley and is married to the multi-billionaire, Adair Huxley. This happened along…" The reporter's words were drowned out as soon as Adair's phone which was beside him rang out. “Hold on, I think I forgot to say I also compelled the driver to ram into her, then hand himself over to the police afterward. Don't you think I have a great sense of justice?” Hannah giggled. Adair reached for his phone and went numb when he saw it was a call from Collette. He first exhaled in relief when he realized Hannah was just messing with him. “Wife, are you alright?” He asked anxiously as soon as he answered the call. “This is Garrison Hospital, is this Adair Huxley, Collette Huxley's husband?” An unfamiliar voice asked inst

She Might Be Dead
Martha's Penthouse Martha walked into the house to find Tucker drinking like he had been doing for the past three days. She had a book in her hand, which she handed over to him. “I was on my way in when someone said there's a parcel for you. All they need is your signature saying you've received it before they leave.” “A parcel? I didn't order anything.” Tucker frowned, refilling his glass with whiskey. “They can't be mistaken because your name is in this book.” Martha sighed, placing the book on the table. Tucker's phone buzzed at that moment, and he glanced at it only to exhale in disappointment, seeing it was a commercial message. “I can turn them away if that's what you want.” Martha said, reminding him there was still something for him to do. Reluctantly, Tucker reached for the book and signed it. Martha took it and left the house. She returned later with a coffin-like wrapped package. “Is it just me or does it look like a coffin?” Halsey asked, appearing from nowhere. S

I'm Sure Your Death Will Be Avenged
1627, Crest Ville Main MarketThe sun was bright and hot when it came in contact with the skin of humans as usual, but this didn't stop them from carrying out their daily activities. Among them was a woman who went from stall to stall asking one question, “I buy vervain for a very handsome price. Do you have any to sell to me?” Suddenly, she got pulled into a corner by an elderly woman. “Going around the market asking for who has vervain is the most stupid plan I've heard in a long time. It'll only be a matter of time before he finds out what you're doing. Get a grip on yourself, Hannah!” The elder woman berated the younger one. Hannah, who had her red hair held up neatly with a pin and had on a simple floral gown, sighed and shrugged the woman's hand away. “I know what I'm doing, and I'm more careful than usual. For example, do you know Jordan is walking around the market as we speak?” Hannah scoffed. “Jordan Hale? Adair's right-hand man?” The elderly woman asked to confirm th

Don't You Think It's Too Much Of A Coincidence?
Adair stayed home the next day, much to the surprise of Collette. “Are you staying at home because you want to, or you're staying at home, so I won't be kidnapped like yesterday?” Collette asked guiltily. She was currently sitting in front of her working table while Adair laid on the bed fiddling with his phone. When he heard her, he paused and towards her. “I'm thinking of getting you a rope. We'll tie it on our waists, so we don't wander far from each other whenever we go out together.” Adair said, a little too serious. Collette, who was about to laugh, froze. Wait, what? “You're not serious, right?” She asked in horror. Adair, who initially had his serious face on, laughed and got out of bed. He walked up to her and shrugged, “It's no longer safe to leave you at home. Especially with Tucker and Hannah around.” “Hannah mentioned something called vervain. She explained to me, it was something capable of keeping vampires from messing with our head. Why don't you get it for me?”
