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
Kelvin stood right there staring at his room, and the only thing that he could think of was a way to get rid of this woman so she did not have to see him because he knew that he could explain what had happened here that would make sense to anyone.“I am sorry but you can't come in. I believe that whatever it is you want to talk to me about can still morning”“I don't see why you can't let me in because I barely know when you leave for work, and besides, anyone can be eavesdropping on us tomorrow, and I know that you wouldn't want that to happen, right?”“I don't know what this is about, but I have a guest, and you can't come in. Can we talk about it tomorrow, please!”“Wait! You have a guest, meaning that there is a girl in your room. I never thought that there would come a day I get to see you have a girl come visit you; I definitely want to see her!”Amelia sounded so happy hearing that Kelvin was finally seeing a woman for the first time that nothing else mattered to her, she shove
Mr. Smith could feel his body sore and ache very intensely as he rose from the bed. After what happened the other time and the fact that Jason had failed to hold onto Adrian, Mr. Smith has been running for his life knowing that the sanctuary was the only place that he could hide.He had just woken up from another day of nightmares where he could not stop himself from seeing the dark glares of Adrian. His heart was panting heavily and it was at this moment that Mr. Smith realized that it was the buzzing of his phone that had saved him from today's nightmare.Mr. Smith stared at his phone and sighed, there was a message on his phone, he picked up his phone and slowly glanced through it, it was more debit after another.Ever since His wife and daughter left for Paris, he thought that it was safer; it had been from one debit on his credit card to another, and at this point, Mr. Smith was panting heavily as he felt like his heart was going to choke.Just when he was trying to get in fact t
