Mr. Smith had just arrived back from work after a very hectic day, it was a few days to the launching of his shoe line yet he was not certain that he had been able to secure any tangible clients.A beep sound came through his phone and while his back rested on the soft couch, he stared at it for a moment, realizing that it was a text from Jason, he let out a soft sigh.“Is everything alright?” Darcy who sat next to him could see how exhausted he was asked.“Nothing that I can't handle, I will just take some air outside and then I am going to be back” He explained to her, Darcy who had her eyes fixed on the television nodded her head as he stride out of the room.A few blocks away from his apartment, a black sedan is parked there, he would recognize the car even in her s sleep and hurried over there. Mr. Smith gave the glass a small tap before Jason opened the car for him.Both men were now seated at the front side of the car which was dark and deprived of any form of light, Jason turn
Adrian went ahead to pick up the call, although he knew that his foster father was the last person that he wanted to speak to, but he had decided to make his peace with them, and ever since then, he would respond to the old man once in a while.“Hello, father!”“Adrian, how are you and how have things been going for you at the company?”“Everything seems fine. I was not expecting your call, so I am hoping that everything is fine?”“Yeah. You know Adrian, I understand how busy you are with work at the office, but there is something very important that I would like to discuss with you and I was hoping that we could meet and have a conversation, besides it has been a long that we last sat together”“Father. That sounds like a good idea, but isn't that something we can discuss on the phone because I have been busy lately and do not think that I have the time for that”Adrian responded, there was silence at the other end of the phone before he spoke again.“I understand that you are busy,
Avery took the empty table next to Mr. Smith and immediately went ahead to signal the waitress to come over like she knew she was coming to a coffee shop and was craving coffee.As soon as Adrian took the seat opposite Mr. Smith, the older man forced a smile on his face but Adrian could tell that he looked tensed. Adrian let his eyes scan around the coffee shop, but everything seemed normal with everyone having a cup of their desired coffee, some were groups of students battling with their projects on their laptops while chatting and some were business partners talking business over a cup of coffee or friends chatting.He felt more relaxed seeing that there was nothing unusual around before he turned to Mr. Smith.“Father, how is everything going with you”“I am fine Adrian, and I apologize for calling you out at such a busy schedule of yours, you have done so much for me that it seems like a burden for me to call you again”“I don't know what this is about, but I must say that I was
Adrian shifted his gaze to Avery who was on the other table and sat so comfortably with her cup of coffee.“Father, I think I will have to be on my way right now” Adrian concluded and tried to rise to his feet, but Mr. Smith immediately stopped him, a desperate look on his face.“I am sorry Son, I know that you are not pleased with the words that I said, but you should at least take your coffee, I understand how busy you are and that will help keep you energized”“Thanks But I have had too much coffee to take today and you do not have to worry about paying for it”Adrian responded as he pulled out a few dollars from his pocket and placed it on the table.“Is that how low you think of me that I wouldn't be able to pay my bills or maybe you thought that I only brought you here to ask for money”“If you want money Father, just go ahead and say so and I will provide that for you. But I am never thinking low of you for that reason, you have done worse things and even at that point, I never
Daniel and the rest of his family members hurried out of the car as Avery wondered how they had received the news of what happened so quickly.Seeing that a famous family that is always on the TV screen had arrived, people around there could not help but take pictures and videos of them, despite how much the securities were trying to stop them from taking any further pictures of the family, it did not seem easy and yet the family was not concern about.Grandpa Hallow was escorted by a large security while his first son Daniel was first hired inside the coffee shop, at this point, the police had arrived on the scene, and everywhere was in chaos. Daniel had his eyes scanning around the environment, there was fear and frustration in his eyes which the police could see as one of them approached him.“Good day Sir, I am Detective Collins, how can we help you?” He asked as he stretched out his hand for a handshake, Daniel tried not to look nervous while he shook his hand although the fear c
Daniel and Sean drove off and while they were halfway back to the mansion, Sean turned to his older brother as he asked. “Go ahead and spill, what is going on I thought that we were going after a lead to find Adrian and yet you seem to be driving back home, what is going on”“Fine, I am going to tell you but you have to promise not to say a word to Father”“Sure, go ahead and spill”“The first lead that I think of is Kelvin”“What! I think that I just misheard because it sounded like you just said you think Kelvin is behind the disappearance of Adrian”“Haven't you noticed anything strange about Kelvin lately”“Well I haven't, he has always been someone who keeps to himself and hates it when people try to invade his privacy which is why I try to stay as far away from him as I can”“You do not work at the company, because if you do, then you would have noticed some strange behaviors of his lately, like for example, he has had his computer changed five times in just a week and it turns
Adrian's eyes strained to adjust to the light in the room he was inside, he had lost count of the hours and even maybe days as he tried to get up from where he sat, he realized that his hands were tied up and there was no way that he would be able to make any movement.He shut his eyes while he was trying to connect to that familiar surge of energy but all to no avail, it felt to him like he was trying to grasp onto the air. That felt strange to him because never had he experienced something like that before.But as the door swung open a man dressed Ina black gown walked in, Adrian realized that they had tampered with his powers which is why he was unable to connect to his powers.“Look who we have here, the Heir of the Wesley!” The voice called out, the entire light in the room was so focused on Adrian that it was difficult for him to see the figure standing before him.“If you are going to kill me, how about you just go ahead and do it instead of playing some sick games with me!”Ad
Daniel and Sean knew even without being told that the situation had not gone well for them, as they both stood outside of Kelvin's room, Sean finally asked.“What did you think, did it look like he might have an idea about Adrian's disappearance?”“I don't know Sean, instead of finding out, I think that we just ended up pissing him off and now I will have to find a way to apologize to him”“I guess so. And the other lead that you spoke of, how are we going after it?”Sean asked but Daniel was silent for a while as he shook his head before he responded.“I am sorry brother, but it is dangerous and I am not going to get you involved in it”“Dangerous, what are you talking about, anything dangerous you are getting involved in, you can't do it alone. I am your brother and have to be by your side”“I am your older brother and will not put you through anything that will put your life in danger, you have nothing to worry about. I can assure you that I am going to have it all sorted out”“Alr
