Sarah immediately stepped in, interrupting the entire interrogation again. “ I still do not think that such an enigmatic stone is capable of stealing our fortune!”“Step aside Sarah, because right now, no one cares about what you think!” Freya immediately interrupted her before she could say her next words and then Daniel's voice came through.“Mr. White!” He called on the butler who immediately scurried forward. “Apprehend her and have her lock her, for the rest of you, I need you all in the living room so we can discuss this issue with Grandpa!”He ordered and started walking away side by side with Adrian. Once the entire family was seated in the living room there was a tense air in the living room, because most of the Wesley family did not have an idea of such a thing and to them, it felt bizarre.they carefully explained the entire event to Grandpa Hallow who was indeed astonished by Adrian's knowledge of things like this.“Adrian I must say that this is truly impressive, how in
There was an intense silence in the living room for a while as Grandpa HHallow kept staring into a blank space and after a while, he turned his attention to Adrian “Adrian, since you are informed about mysterious things like this, what do you think that we should do?”Grandpa asked after a while of staring into blank space. “Just like I previously explained to Father and the others, we are going to need to perform a ritual to retrieve the fortune of the Wesley family and then destroy the demon statues and I will need a hundred dollars to acquire the necessary items needed”“What do you think will happen to Tommy’s daughter once the ritual is done, I feel like if they get an idea about the source of their daughter’s intellectual impairment, it is going to cause a thrift between both families and as such, we need to seek a solution as soon as possible”“I can't assure you that everything is going to return in an instant since it has been a while. But with time, it is going to take a whi
A deep frown spread through Sarah's face as she clutched tightly onto Kelvin. “Kelvin here isn't complaining and besides I am not ready to sleep now so why should you force it up on me, I am no longer your child”“And as long as I am your older sister, you are a child!” Claire rebuked, no doubt that she was trying to tease her, and she was doing a good job at it until their father decided to intervene.“That is enough Claire, let her be and if she feels like going to bed, she will, let her have some time with her brother” Theo suggested before he finally rose to his feet and started scurrying towards his room as the rest of the family that were all exhausted did the same.Once Sarah and Kelvin were in the room, Sarah fell to the bed and she let out a frustrating groan. “I can't believe that everyone is starting to believe the trash coming out from his mouth, did you see the way Grandpa was seeking his opinion, he never does that with you despite all the efforts that you put into the c
The next day, Theo is getting ready for work when a knock comes through his door as his two daughters step in, Sarah stands next to him while Claire finds her way to the couch and picks up the magazine there. She fixed her eyes on the magazine and was clearly going to let Sarah do all of the talking.“Dad, are you guys holding up a board meeting at the office today?”“Not really, Adrian is just going to be introduced to everyone at the company which includes the board, but it is not like anything else is going to take place”“But you still need to vote before he can be approved as the next in line for the position of the president right?”“Yes, but why are you suddenly interested in what is going on at the company?”“That is because I do not want Adrian to take over.”“You should stop that Sarah, Adrian is your brother, and more than anyone else, you should be rooting for him”“I can't! And that is because I do not consider him as my brother. Kelvin has been there for me much more tim
When Mrs. Smith Arrived back home that night with her son, she was sweating profusely despite the cold weather. A cold expression on both mother and son's faces as they say down and seeing the expression on their face, Darcy and Mr. Smith could tell that something was going on.“What is it dear, weren't you able to see the Wesley family or did you not thank them properly?” Mr. Smith asked curiously as he sat next to his wife, but all that she could do was nod her head because she was not certain of what her response should be.“You need to talk to us Mom, did something happen over at the Wesley estate, weren't you allowed inside, or did they refuse to give Finn the internship program over Adrian?”Darcy asked curiously, her eyes scanning from her mother to her brother. “We messed up!” Finn's voice suddenly came through.“You messed up, how? It was just a simple task. Go there, act all nice, and appreciate ey for their cooperation towards this family, was there something hard for you t
Eleanor turned to her Children and husband but they both seemed not to have heard the unusual sound because they were both engrossed in the conversation that they were having, so she had to ask.“Did you all just hear a sound?” She asked and they all glanced at each other, no doubt that both father and son were oblivious to these as they both stared at each other ignorantly before Mr. Smith spoke.“Of course, we can hear a sound, this conversation that we are having all seems like an argument and sometimes when you are so furious about something, you tend to hear an unusual sound”“No! Reynold! That is not what I mean. I could hear the sound of a toddler crying, at first I thought that I might have misheard until I listened carefully and the sound was there again”“A toddler, mom, are you becoming delusional, there is no toddler here and none of our neighbors have a toddler living with them, so I think that you might have misheard!” Finn explained and she finally decided to shake it
Adrian had just concluded the meeting with the board, he was very tensed the first time he stepped into the large hall not knowing what he should say or do, but his father and uncle Theo did most of the talking and with these two figures by his side, it was not difficult for the board to accept him.He explained to his Dad that he had to leave because he needed to go ahead and get the necessary items that he would be using to destroy the Demon statue but as he walked out of the office, a driver that was assigned to him was standing right before the car, but as soon as he was about to step inside the back seat of the car, he heard a female voice called out to him loudly.“Adrian!!” She shouted and he turned his attention at the gate to see that it was his older foster sister. No doubt that she had not been allowed inside the premises of the Wesley corporation so she had to stay outside the gate and wait for any opportunity where she could see him.Adrain stared at her briefly before he
once Adrian left the company, he handed over to the driver the GPS of where he was going and although it was a secluded place, the driver was able to locate it.Arriving at a secluded apartment that was at the outshirt of the city stood an old man in his late seventies with white beards and mustache, no doubt that he was waiting for Adrian and as soon as he saw Adrian stepped out of the car, a wide smile spread through his lips.“Adrian, looks like your fortune has found you, remember that I told you about it but you kept on insisting that it was too tough on you and there was no way that any fortune could come, I hope you understand the things the spirit now”“Yes Mr. Albert and I must say that it all came as a surprise to me because I never imagined that it was going to be this huge when you kept talking about a fortune that was coming my way” Adrian expressed and the Old man could not hide the excitement on his face. “Come in, I just finished making some broth soup and you are def
Kelvin remained standing, although he soon did not feel comfortable about his actions, yet he remained calm. “Whatever it is that you have to say, be quick with it and leave as soon as possible, I told you the last time that we met that I do not want to have anything to do with the underworld again”“The sanctuary was burnt down” Jason suddenly blurted, ignoring what Kelvin was ranting about.“That is a joke right?” Kelvin asked with a soft chuckle that escaped his lips. “The sanctuary is filled with supernatural items, there is no way that he would burn down no matter what they did, which is why I think that this is a joke”“You think that I will drive all the way to your house in the middle of the night just to crack jokes with you. You are right in some aspect, the sanctuary can't burn down with just natural flames unless it is one with the power of the flames”Jason explained as Kelvin thought about it for a while and could not seem to comprehend what it meant.“Look here Jason, I
Jason opened his eyes as he felt his head banging with pain. He hasn't been without his powers for a long time now and without it, he felt so weak that it was killing him.His eyes trail around the basement as he realizes that he is all alone in there. All members of the Smith family were gone, and with his head pounding with pain, he raised his arm to touch his head and realized that there were traces of blood,d, which was the source of the pain.Jason exhaled softly before he sat upright, filled with regret as to how he had let his guard down. Just while he was still trying to get a grasp of himself, he stared at his phone and realized there were ten missed calls and fifteen messages from his right-hand man.“Fuck!” he cursed, rising to his feet, and despite how weak and sour he felt from the pain and beating he had received, he still hurried away from the apartment.He got into his car and sped off, arriving at the scene where all the men had been lined up and waiting for his arriv
First, they were reluctant to accept the food as they had no idea what sick games he was trying to play. Mrs. Smith stretched out her arm to grab one of the meals that was carefully packaged in a takeout, but her husband immediately stopped her before turning his attention to Jason. “Mr. Jason, why have you brought us this food, is that the way you want to have us killed?” Mr. Smith asked but Jason chuckled so loud that one would think there was not a hint of danger around him. “Poison you, I mean that is an insult to me, if I want you dead, there are just several ways that I would do it and I might not even have to lift a finger, why would I go through the stress of having you poisoned” He explained and knowing how powerful he was, they thought that he was right. “If that is not the case, then why have you brought food to my family when I know that you are going to end up killing us after these” Mr. Smith asked, and this time, Jason, who seemed to be losing his patience, f
Jason was filled with rage when he arrived at the sanctuary; so many members had all burned down, and those who had survived were barely recognized, not to mention the items they had lost.“Boss! What are we going to do now?” His right-hand man, who had called him on the phone when all of this started, asked.“Where were you when the fire started and why couldn't you put it off with your powers?” Jason scolded, he was so angry that he badly needed someone he was going to take out his anger on.“I am sorry Boss, I tried my best, but the fire was no ordinary one, it was Adrian's flame, and no matter what I did, it wouldn't stop instead it just kept getting worse”He explained. Jason's face had turned red, with bulging veins from his forehead like twisted ropes; his eyes were blazing with fury that his right-hand man had to drift backward for fear of what he might do to him.“Adrian….” He groans with his fist clenched. “You have done so much, and I think that it's time to get my revenge;
The entire family was silent for a long while like they were expecting Kelly to do the talking. Tears trickled down her cheek while she thought of what to say and yet she could not think of any.“Kelly! You heard what my uncle just asked you and we really would like to know, how can we be certain that you are not lying to us and this is not part of some sort of sick game from Jason which you are just involved in?”Adrian went ahead to imply with Avery still seated next to him.“I don't know how else I can prove myself to you all, better still, you can send someone to go and check on the Smith family, you will find them locked up in the basement and then you will realize that what I am saying is the truth”She assured them, this time, there was a hint of combination in their face as they thought about it and the possibility that it might indeed be true.“Adrian, what do you think?” Grandpa Hallow sought his opinion, but after the conversation that he had earlier today with Klein, Adria
The car came to a halt right at the parking lot of the Wesley estate, with Adrian hurrying inside. In the living room were Grandpa Hallow, Daniel, Uncle Sean, Uncle Theo, Aunt Amelia, Claire, Sarah, and Freya. Avery stood at the door; she had always been finding it difficult to get along with the family and thought that she should take it slowly.There was the visitor whom Avery had spoken about on the phone, which was Kelly. Kelly sat on the single couch; she looked unkempt, her hair disheveled, and Adrian could barely recognize her as he walked in.“Kelly?” he asked, his eyes scanning around her, yet he did not forget to give Avery a gentle kiss before he turned to Kelly.‘Kelly, is that you?” he asked again; it was so hard for him to believe that this was truly her and how possible she had lost so much weight. Kelly lowered her head with a shy smile; she knew that she wasn't at her best, which only made her more embarrassed that she couldn't look him in the face.“How have you been
.Adrian stormed the sanctuary alongside thousands of soldiers and police. He stood outside with Klein standing next to him as he watched them burn the place down; although there were several members inside, he didn't care; he wanted them burned alongside the building.“After this, what next?” Klein asked, seeing the fury that swept through his face. He had never seen his boss this angry, and he knew that after the encounter with the dark master, something had changed within him.“I am going to find every other member left and I am going to have them killed, they hurt my family too much and I will be a fool to let them get away with it and I am going to be starting with Kelvin who seems to be on the run”“What about Jason? You do know that he is still alive, right?” asked, his face glued to Adrian like he was trying to take in all of his emotions.“I took away all of Jason's powers, he won't be able to do much now” There was shock on Klein's face for a breath moment before he asked;“
Finn, alongside the rest of his family, could feel their throat dry; Kelly could clearly hear the heartbeat of the others, and given how hungry she was, if she had the opportunity, she was ready to eat them alive.After Jason had left, he wanted to kill Kelly, but given how much Finn had pleaded with him, he finally decided to punish the entire family by locking them up in the basement of their apartment with no food or drink, and no matter how much they screamed, no one would be able to hear them.And as a result of that, the family blamed Finn for bringing Kelly into their home.“There were other girls from other wealthy families that you could have met with and taken our family from this burden that has been resting on our head, instead you chose a girl like her who has come to ruin her”“Come on Mom, don't put the blame on her, it is not her fault, you were the one who insisted that Dad worked with Jason even when Adrian was ready to help us for no cause”Finn sighed, he was getti
Adrian, along with Avery and Klein, all rose to their feet as they watched the men storm out of there. First they were afraid as they had no idea what other crimes they might have committed until Mr. Daniel alongside his daughter and Mr. Woods stormed out of the car.“DADDY!” Avery yelled at the top of her voice as she rushed over to him, she had never been this happy to see him like this before. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and tears filled her eyes.“Daddy…. I was so scared, I never thought that I would ever get to see you again”“Me too. When I heard about what was happening, I blamed myself for neglecting you, if something had happened to you, trust me when I say that I wouldn't have been able to live with myself”The older man could not hold back the tears that formed in his eyes as he embraced his daughter with a heavy heart. Daniel and Freya stood before Adrian, their eyes scanning around him with so many questions in their heart as they were reluctant to engage
