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

    “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.

    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

    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

    "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.

    Walking into the hospital in his cheap clothes, Adair didn’t fail to notice the people around him wince in disgust. But he was used to it so he just ignored them. He quickly walked towards a secluded part of the hospital. Upon seeing a figure curled up there, a deep frown found its way to his face. Why was his weak sister here instead of the hospital ward he had left her in before going to get food for them. "Why are you not in the ward? Who put you here?!" He asked, his eyes darkening while he leaned down and took her into his arms. "The doctor… he brought me here." She said innocently.Biting back his surging emotions, Adair lifted her up and walked back to the ward when he was stopped by a doctor."Oh, it’s you, the street rat. Take your half-dead sister and fuck off! Don’t waste my time.”Dr. Hayes sneered impatiently and stepped back. He didn’t want dirty children to ruin his new white coat.“Without money, why waste a bed? Just rot away.” He murmured loudly, with obvious dis

    A 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.

    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.

    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

    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?”
