The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley An Invitation To Sarah Pitt's Birthday
Collette walked out of her room fully dressed and in search of Adair. She met Halsey eating in the dining. "Good morning, Collette!" Halsey greeted as soon as she sighted Collette. Collette returned the smile. She first walked to the kitchen, but didn't see who she was meeting for. "Where's Adair?" She asked, returning back to the dining. "I don't know. I met my breakfast here with a note from him saying he has somewhere to be early in the morning." Halsey responded with a mouthful. She paused and pointed at something on th table. "I think he left a note for you as well." "He did?" Collette frowned, reaching for the paper. "I'll come pick you up after work. I have an early morning job interview to attend to." She read out the words on the paper before a smile lit up her face. "Collette, tomorrow is your grandmother's birthday and our family has been invited!" Collette heard Layla exclaim loudly from the living room. Collette frowned again. After the incident with her father at
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley A Visit To Jared Ambrose
Jared's Bar The bar was bustling just like every other day when the door opened and a familiar tall figure waltzed in. Adair's eyes went straight to the bar attendant who was busy serving drinks before he walked up to the counter. Almost immediately, Jared appeared behind the cotton, putting on the bar's uniform. He assisted his bar attendants in serving drinks to customers. Adair walked up to him and sat directly opposite him. "A glass of bourbon, please." Adair said and Jared raised his eyes at the familiarity of the voice. When he recognized Adair, he couldn't help but smile. "It's you..umm.. Collette's husband, what's the name again?" "Adair Huxley." Adair responded, a small smile creeping onto his face. "Welcome to my bar, Adair." Jared smiled, reaching out his hand for a handshake. Adair reached out and took it. Afterward, Jared turned to grab a bottle of bourbon. As Jared filled a glass, he asked, "I'm surprised to see you. And at the same time, I'm shocked that you vi
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley Benjamin Tries To Confirm His Suspicious
"CVPD!" Someone suddenly yelled and the door to the bar was kicked open. Jared's eyes widened in shock when he saw the police and he immediately tried to run. Unfortunately for him, his bar attendant, who was a spy the cops had planted in the bar initially, tackled him to the ground. "No one moves!" A female voice yelled and every movement in the bar stopped. Adair didn't turn to look at them, but he had his eyes pinned sharply on Jared. Meanwhile, Jared tried to fight the hands of the man pinning him to the ground away. "Get your hands off me! You have no right to come into my bar and arrest me!" The undercover cop ignored his incessant rambling and held him up for a woman who was walking towards them. Jared gritted his teeth angrily when he saw her and spat out. "You don't have a warrant, do you?" "Hello, Jared. Nice to meet you again." The woman merely smiled. From her tone, others around could sense this wasn't the first time the duo was meeting. She dug out something from
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley A Call From The Hospital
Dame EnterpriseZane, who took his assignment of watching Collette's every move very seriously, stood in a far corner watching her converse with a fellow colleague when he was pulled aside by Iris. "What is it? Or do you have money to give me?" Zane asked, excitement evident in his eyes. Iris hissed and took out the stake from somewhere. Zane flinched, moving back in shock. "What are you doing with that?" "Obviously not planning to stab you with it." She scoffed and extended it towards him, "Can you read the Aramaic writing on it?" Zane cautiously took it and flipped the part containing the writing to his face. "It's not a writing, it's just the name of an ancient tribe back then." He responded, still looking it over. "That's it?" Iris asked in surprise and he nodded. When he realized there was something off about her expression, she looked up at her and asked, "I can see the blood on it, did you kill someone with it?" "No. Adair found it in the heart of the last vampire I tu
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley Oh, He's Zane
"What did you say happened to your face?" Collette asked in distress as she watched Gabriel and Adair get attended to by a nurse. "We were attacked on our way back." Adair responded. "You were? And how is it possible you and my father were together?" Collette couldn't stop herself from hissing. "I got into trouble again when I went to gamble. Adair found me right on time and put himself in danger to save me." Benjamin chose to butt in at that moment. Collette was first stunned that her father had taken the initiative to speak to her before she found her tongue.*"That is what happened? It's a good thing you were around that area, Adair." Collette said, jumbling the words together in excitement. Adair's eyes rested on Zane who stood by the door with a bored expression. "Is that your friend?" He asked and Collette nodded immediately. Feeling Adair's eyes were accusing her, she quickly sat next to him and went ahead to explain, "He's a colleague at work. He has helped me so many t
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley Collette Is A Hooker...?
The Pitt's family manor The entire room was silent as the rest of the family kept glancing towards the direction of Benjamin and his family. "So, Collette, I heard you got a job in Dame's Enterprise." Sarah was the first to say something. Collette who hadn't been able to swallow down a lettuce which had been in her mouth for several minutes, grabbed the serviette beside her and spat it out. Then she looked up at Sarah and nodded. However, before she could say anything, Layla beat her to it. "Collette was hired as a supervisor which means she has a very fat salary. And this young man here–" She paused and let everyone stare at Zane who sat beside her, eyes roving the place. Then she continued, "Can you believe he drives a Bugatti?! And not only that, Collette even had the privilege of riding with him!" The rest of the family gasped in shock. They had all seen the Bugatti drive into the compound and wondered who it was. They all knew it wasn't less than two million dollars and tha
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley Adair's Mother Is In Crest Ville
It happened so soon, but the next thing Alice saw was Zane grabbing a figure. She didn't quite see his face, but the shimmering obviously sharp knife this figure held caused a cold shiver run down her spine. "Don't move, miss." Zane ordered Alice without looking at her. "But this man is obviously dangerous. I think I should inform the rest of the family." Alice responded in a surprising defiant voice. Not that she wasn't scared, but she still dared to put on a show of being someone ideal to Zane. Zane scoffed when he made sense of her line of thought. So far, the only brilliant person from this family was Collette. "They won't help. So please don't move." Zane still said. After a while, he added, "Do me a favor and turn your back against me." Glancing behind him, he caught sight of her twirling. He turned his attention back to the man in front of him, a smile gracing his face. "She sent you, didn't she?" He scoffed. His voice was way too low that even the quiet corridor didn't
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley She Sent Backup To Your House
Zane, Williams and Alice returned back to the dining room. "Sorry I brought someone into your home without informing you." Zane apologized to Sarah. Sarah waved his hand at him with a smile, "Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Your friend is your friend and it's our pleasure that he stepped foot into our property." Williams, who had no idea what was happening, smiled back at her while Collette's face darkened. She couldn't believe her grandmother's behavior. She was so quick to take in Zane and his friend simply because Zane came from a wealthy family and since Williams was his friend, it was also very likely he came from a wealthy family as well. "It's getting late. I think it's time we go home." Collette said aloud, glancing at her wristwatch. "It's late. Would you and your friend like to stay the night?" Alice asked Zane, ignoring Collette's remark. Zane shook his head as he glanced lovingly at Collette, "I came with Mrs. Huxley, so it doesn't seem fair I spend the nigh

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. Collette Foundation. A found

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

Adair Only Cares About Collette
“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

The Attacker Gets Attacked
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?”
