Avery felt a mixed expression seeing her father walk inside the Maxton mansion, although she was fully aware that they were friends and business partners, why he was there the same time she had been invited for dinner was definitely not a mistake.“My father is joining us for dinner?” I asked with my eyes piercing at Seth, he could see the disappointment in my eyes and while my Dad and his went ahead to exchange pleasantries, he walked up to me and he squeezed my arm gently.“You just need to calm down and trust me because you should know that I will never do anything to hurt you”“Did you just say that I should trust you, that is a stupid thing even for you to say because the last time that I trusted you, it did not go too well, so how about you start by telling me why my father is here?”“It is nothing much, my Dad just wanted us to bond together like old times because he feels guilty after what happened between the both of us and wants to apologize”“Good timing! It has been months
Grandpa Hallow and his sons arrived back home and as soon as the door fling open, there was a wind of excitement that fills the entire house, Sarah and Claire immediately flung their selves at him nearly knocking him off balance.His eyes beamed with excitement as he wrapped his arms around them tightly. ” Grandpa insisted and while he went ahead to sit down, they both sat right beside him and just then, Harper who had been informed of Grandpa's presence rushed over from the stairs and as he rushed downstairs, he flung himself on Grandpa whpo seemed so proud of him as he carried him on his lap.“Sarah, go ahead and speak to me. Tell me everything that happened while I was away and why you think that the elders did not handle it properly?”“Adrian and Claire went on a project at a college but Claire almost lost her life because Adrian was so careless and put her at so much risk, yes no one saw anything wrong with it”“Adrian did not put me at risk, rather he saved my life!” Claire who
The next day, Aunt Emma had a meeting with a client, but as soon as she stepped her feet into the office, she was so stunned at the figure standing right there that it was difficult for her to shut her mouth.“Amelia, what are you doing here?” Emma asked after a while of staring at her sister-in-law knowing that this was the last place she should be.After the last conversation Amelia had with her husband about returning to her career, she was not going to let anyone discourage her from doing what she loved to do the most not even her husband so since then, she had been trying out with several modeling agencies hoping that soon she was going to get a response and this time, it seemed like luck was on her side.Seeing the last person that she wanted to see at a place like this, she hurried out of the building but Emma immediately went after her. “What are you doing here Amelia?”“It is none of your business, just go ahead and do whatever it is you came here to do”“Did you speak to Sea
Emma could feel like the whole world was spinning around her, she was not sure what this was about or what Mrs. Smith actually saw, but she knew for certain that if there was anything that was going to put Adrian in danger, she was going to do everything in her power to stop it.“What do you know that you saw?” Emma asked and even while she did, she was scared of the truth and what she was going to find out. Mrs. Smith let her eyes scan around her environment suspiciously for any extra eyes or ears and seeing that it was just the both of them, she moved closer to Emma.“I saw him use some magical spell to drain away all the energy out of her, you might think that Adrian is such a sweet and lovely boy but trust me when I say that he knows more than you will ever do and he uses dark magic to lure his victims”“Victims, what do you mean by that?”“There is a project that he is going after and that is going to land him in trouble, he is going to be involved in an accident but that might j
Chapter 113:The entire hall was now filled with board members, Kelvin had yet to have a seat on the board so he was forced to stand, on other occasions, he would have his jaws tightened at the situation, but today, he seemed so calm like he had everything under control.The meeting commenced with the board members tackling every single issue and proposal at hand, when it seemed like they were through with the most difficult issues that they had to deal with, the board was almost about to dismiss when Theo brought up the issue.“The issue regarding the Contract with the Maxton group how is it going?” Theo asked and as he did, the entire board members had their gaze fixed on Adrian.“I did not secure the contract with them… I….”“That is enough, you have done more than enough talking!” One of the board members Mr. Luke let his voice go high, the anger in his voice could clearly be seen even while he tried to remain calm as he thought about the amount of money that he would be losing no
Everywhere was in a state of chaos, while the board members kept whispering to themselves, Daniel who had been silent all this while had a prideful smug on his face and his brother Theo was confused and trying to grasp the situation while Kelvin's on the other hand was fighting so hard to conceal what he was feeling.“Mr. Adrian, we all are hoping that this is not some sort of a trick. You are a newbie in this business, how can you be able to secure the entire city view contract so easily?”One of the board members asked again, no doubt that they were in doubt about these despite how much they wanted it to be true.“Well I did my research about the president of the company Mr. Evaton and with that, I was able to give him what he wants in return for the company. The deal will be signed tomorrow in front of the entire press at the city view but that will be after you all approve it”“You can't sign a contract without any proposal” Kelvin who was now clinging onto the last straw of hope
Kelvin barely got to his office and as soon as his secretary Eva noticed his arrival, she was hoping that things had gone well, so with a smile on her face, she followed him behind.“Welcome Sir, how did the meeting go?” She asked with both her hands clasped behind her back, her black skirt perfectly ironed to the line.“You need to leave right now Eva, I want to be alone” His voice had become deep, and his head lowered to his desk because he was trying to hide the glowing red his eyes had become knowing that the monster was trying to take over.“What is it Sir, did something happen?”“I said LEAVE!!” He growled so loud and this time, he lifted his head to meet her gaze, a cold shiver ran down her spine seeing what her boss had become, at that moment, he threw out all the files on the desk, his hand grabbed the computer and furiously smashed it on the ground.At this moment, Eva could feel her feet betray her, she was trembling from shock at what she had just seen, but the moment that
After the meeting, Adrian was back to the office and as soon as he did, Kelly followed right behind him, she could tell that the meeting had gone well judging from the look on his face.“Welcome Sir, how was the meeting?” a smile on her face, but it did not seem like Adrian was interested in her expression.“Have you sorted all the files that I requested?”“Yes Sir, I did that as soon as you left. How was the meeting?” She asked again since he had pretended not to hear her first question.“it went well”“That is good to hear, so is there any project that we will be working on of recent?”“You will find out soon, how is my schedule for today?”“Well, not much, except for a meeting with…..”“Cancel it!” Adrian arrived who had a deep frown on his lips did not let her finish as he rose to his feet. “There is somewhere that I need to be and I am not sure about when I will be back, so you will have to take care of things around here”“You have nothing to worry about Sir, I got it all covere
