Ted and Fred immediately hurried out of the car as soon as they saw Adrian coming over to them.“How did it go?” Fred asked but he shook his head.“Not good at all, but I have assured my Dad that I am going to find a way to sort this out, but first let go over to my foster parents; there is no way that I am letting this slide this time around!”Adrian announced as he hopped into the car and they all did the same. Klein drove off down to the neighborhood where he thought that he never had to visit ever again.Everything felt the same, just the way he had left it, and staring at the environment at that moment, he could vividly recall those times when he spent the night outside next to the trash cans all because they felt like he was not worthy to be inside.Adrian knocked consistently at the door, but there was not a single response from inside; he punched in the code from the last time that he lived here, hoping that it had not been changed, and as expected, it was still the same code.
In a buzzing nightclub was Kelvin, who was seated opposite Seth; they both were sipping from their glass of champagne while enjoying the view of the ladies dancing and the loud music buzzing to their ears.Seth kept on peaking a glance at Kelvin from time to time, no doubt that he was expecting him to say something considered that he was the one that had asked to see him, but after a while, he cracked his throat.“Kelvin! You do know that we are not going to be sitting here the whole day!”“I am fully aware of that. And we can always leave when we are exhausted”“I thought you called me out here because you had something that you wanted to discuss”“Yes. This isn't something that you might like but trust me when I say that it is going to be beneficial to you”“What is this?”“I want to abduct your fiance!” Kelvin blurted out, his eyes fixed on Seth like he was trying to ascertain his reaction. Seth was silent for a while before he burst into a loud laugh.“That was a nice one, and giv
Adrian's car drove right in front of Wesley Estate, and they could see a female figure standing right there; as the car went further, Adrian realized that it was Avery.She was dressed in a blue jean and a crop top that was just above her stomach, a small purse clutched around her arm, and yet Adrian could tell that she had lost a lot of weight in a few days that he hadn't set his eyes on her.“Boss!” Klein called, trying to draw his attention to her, but he realized that Adrian was already staring at her.“Stop the car!” He ordered as Klein immediately stepped on the brake, Fred and Ted both watched but did not dare say anything because they knew nothing about what was going on.“You can go inside!” Adrian ordered as soon as he got out of the car while he stood there and watched the car drive right into the estate.“Adrian hi!”“Avery why are you outside when you should have gone inside or don't you realize that it is dangerous for you to be out there in the cold night”“I know, but
Adrian hurried over to his Grandpa, who was now seated at the mini bar jasmine-baron in the dining room.“Are you the one driving her home?” He asked soon as Adrian stood before him.“No Sir, she came with her car, I am just going to see her off outside to her car”“Alright, but you do know that her family owns one of the largest construction companies in town, almost bigger than ours and you can't even imagine what will be of us if we can merge with them”“Merge with them, why would you do that?”“You are wise my son, so stop acting like a fool. That is what happens when you get married to her, the company automatically becomes yours, you merge it to ours and become unbeatable in the global business”“What are you saying Grandpa, you know that she is already engaged to someone else?”“Yes, but I also know that there is someone else that she loves and that someone happens to be you!” Grandpa blurted out and this time, he was staring at Adrian in the face while Adrian lowered his hea l
Kelvin rushed out of the estate, his eyes popping wide in surprise and confusion. “I was fast asleep when I heard the noise, what happened?”He asked, not staring at a particular person, but everyone was engrossed, trying to find a way. Theo held his phone, making a series of calls; the same thing goes for Grandpa.Once Grandpa was through with his call, he stride over to Adrian and patted his shoulder. “You do not have to beat yourself up about this, we are going to find a solution, and soon”He assured him, but it did not seem like Adrian was feeling assured as he rose to his feet, hurried over to Freya, and spoke.“Freya, do you have any items that belong to Avery?”“I am not sure, but what will you be using it for?”“Can we just get past the question and skip to you being sure of the fact that you have an item that belongs to her or not?”She asked impatiently. Freya could see how tensed up he was and did not want to rattle him any further.“I don't know but I will go ahead and ch
As the call ended, the entire family had their gaze on Adrian while wondering how the call went. But Adrian froze right there, his eyes fixed on Sean and his wife.“Adrian, who was that, and what did they want?” Grandpa Hallow asked.“They have Avery and have requested that they are going to kill her in the next twenty-four hours unless I step down as the heir to the company and make a public note regarding this that I will be handing over the company to Harper.”Adrian explained coldly, his voice almost sounding like a whisper, and at that moment, there was a profound silence in the room with all eyes fixed on Sean.“Why are you all staring at me like that, I have nothing to do with these!” Sean exclaimed, obviously trying to clarify himself.“Yes, we all know that you wouldn't do something like that. It is not like you have ever been interested in anything that has to do with the company, but these people know Harper and they took Avery because they felt like Adrian would surrender
After the entire family retired back to their rooms, Adrian went over to Freya's room. “Adrian, what are we going to do about this? It is clear that they are trying to use Avery to get to you,” She asked while they were both seated, but Adrian was silent, staring into blank space. “We need to find a way to get to Avery, she can't stay there for long because I am afraid that something might happen to her” Adrian suggested while she stared at him with disbelief in her eyes. “Are you listening to yourself Adrian, I am telling you that all of this is an attempt to get to you and they are going to stop when you do not give them a listening ear, you have barely recovered” “What if I remain silent and they hurt her? I am sorry sister but Avery means so much to me for me to take such a risk” “What! Means so much to you, I thought you were the one saying you had no time for relationships?” “I know but right now, feel so scared with just a thought that something might happen to her a
Sitting down there, Amelia could immediately recall the thought and how Kelvin had put all of that into her, especially since she had never had an interest in the company.“Yes I did say something like that, but that doesn't mean you get to suspect me about doing such like I could pull it off even if I wanted to”“Yes you could, considering your long line of connection especially with people involved in illegal dealings so if you ask me, I am going to say that you are capable of pulling it off”“But I didn't! I have no hand in it and I hate the fact that you would even ask me something like this I have to because you have been having funny ideas lately and I was wondering why you would even want Harper to join the company all of a sudden when you never thought of that”Sean insisted But Amelia was silent for a while before she rose to her feet and curled up the bed next to me.“I am sorry that I thought about that but never did I imagine that Avery will be abducted at the same time an
