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

    Fin stood right there as he watched the car drive into the company's premises, his teeth clenched in rage, and all he wanted was a way to belittle Adrian in front of Kelly and take her away from him.Kelly made sure that everything was in order at the office, and as soon as Adrian stepped in, a smile crept to her lips that was painted with a pink lip while she followed behind him, her heels not hesitating to make those noises that made her presence known to everyone.“Good morning Sir!”“Yeah, Kelly…”“What you saw outside, I had no idea that Fun would be coming to find me at my workplace, the last time he did such a thing, I warned him about it and thought he was not going to come to find me again, I promise you that nothing is going on between the both of us”“And why are you telling me all of this?”“Because I need you to understand nothing is going on between Finn and me, and it is never going to happen!”“I don't care about that, Kelly.

    Adrian had his gaze fixed on Uncle Sean, wondering what this was about, but he knew that he had been through the worst, and there was nothing more that he couldn't go through.“Go ahead and speak uncle; what is this about?”“It's about your foster parent; while all this mess was going on, your father happened to have given them an accommodation at the estate.”He paused, staring at everyone as if to find out if they were aware of this piece of information, but everyone maintained a blank expression, waiting for his next line of words.“They stole everything, everything worth gold in the house, and headed for the airport”“What!!” The entire Wesley family that was standing there spoke in unison.“You all should calm down, they were apprehended and because those items had put initials on them, a call was immediately placed to us”Hearing his last words, there was a flush of relief on their faces.

    Avery was fast asleep when she was woken by the noise outside; she had guessed immediately that it was Adrian but could not go out to him as a result of the tubs tied to her wrist.“Dad, who was that?”“That was Adrian, I just told him about the divorce and you won't believe it, but he was okay about it”She expressed, his eyes widened with excitement that Avery could not believe she would see written over her father's eyes over her divorce.“You told him that I was divorcing him?” She scrunched up her face, filled with fury. “Dad! How could you do something like that without my consent?”“We have been over this, so why make a mountain out of nothing?” There was a nonchalant attitude on his face, which only seemed to get her more furious.“That is the thing there, we have been over this and I told you that this is my life, you do not get to make decisions for me, especially not about my marriage”She yelled at the top of her voice that it could be heard from miles away.“Haven't you b

    Adrian and Klein hopped inside the car; Klein was in charge of the wheel as he drove off. They both came to a halt In Front of the hospital; although Adrian was curious to find out how Avery was, he knew that he had to pay a visit to his father first.“Adrian?” Freya and Aunt Amelia, who were seated right next to Daniel in the VIP ward, called out as soon as the door swung open.He had all the features of Adrian, but it was difficult for them to believe that it was Adrian, given that they had all concluded that he was either dead or injured.“Adrian, is that truly you?” This time, it was Uncle Sean who stood at the side; he was now standing next to Adrian, his eyes trailing at him from head to toe.“Of course it is me, were you all expecting me to be dead?” he tries to tease, hoping to ease the tense air, yet they did not seem convinced that this was Adrian standing before them; rather, they believed that his body had been stolen again.Freya Walked over to him and took in his scent,

    Adrian sat in a dark room; next to him was Klein; he had been brutally wounded, yet he did not seem affected by it.A dark gaze stood in Adrian's eyes; it was the gaze of a man who had been wounded over and over again, and this time, all that he wanted was revenge.“Boss! Should we proceed?” Klein asked after a few minutes of silence with Adrian staring at the man tied up in front of him like a predator.“Yes!” His voice was deep, dark, and cold; it rang of nothing but cruelty.At the large table next to where Klein stood, there were several items used for torture.Jason sat at the extreme of the darkroom; there was another intense silence that harbored nothing but pain; he was bound to a chair, his hands chained behind.Jason had been asleep all this while he had no idea what had been going on, and the moment he opened his eyes, Klein inquired from Adrian if he could proceed with the torture.His eyes scanned around his environment; he recalled the event that occurred before he passe

    Avery slowly unfurls her eyes, groggily taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. As she struggled to sit up, a wave of dizziness washed over her, forcing her back onto the pillow.“Take it easy, you have fully recovered,” she heard a voice speak, and as she turned around to catch a glimpse of the figure, she realized that it was Freya, and immediately, the previous event that had happened came flushing in.“My baby!” her thought took it in, her hands clasping on her tummy, a wave of fear and anxiety washed over her.When she was at the center of the town and was in pain, the only thing that she kept thinking about was the baby. Since she found out about her powers and the holy light, Avery knew that she was always going to die, but all that she wanted was to leave Adrian, a replica of her before her death.“You have nothing to worry about; your baby is doing alright; the doctor confirmed it,” Freya immediately assured her, hoping that would get Herb to relax, and indeed, Avery slowly re

    Adrian was engaged; even just a gaze at Kelvin was making his heart boil, but at that moment, he had lost focus and did not realize when Jason had launched a surprise at him.The flames clouded his hands, but Daniel had caught hold of this, and as soon as Jason threw the attack at Adrian, Daniel shoved Adrian out of the path as quickly as possible.He had forgotten all about himself, and at that moment, the flame busted his face. Daniel fell to the ground; the smoke clouded his eyes so that it was difficult for anyone to see his features clearly.Seeing what had just happened to his father, Adrian’s eyes grew dark; he growled like a beast; no one had ever seen him like that, as they had no idea what he might be capable of doing.“Ahhhhh!” he roared, instantly, he was surrounded by flames, his eyes, and hand glowing, Adrian threw his first attack at Jason, but no doubt that Jason was already prepared for it, blocking it fiercely with his hands, the more json treis to block it, the more

    Freya held Avery in her arms as they struggled to get on their feet, but Avery was so weak, and no matter how much she tried, she couldn't get up. Freya grew impatient seeing that the man who was after them was drawing closer as Amelia tried to take the others to safety.“I can't go, Freya, you just have to leave me here and run, it is me that they want, so I am sure that once they get their hands on me, they won't bother coming for the rest of you”She assured her, but Freya shook her head; she was reluctant about the situation and did not have any intention of leaving her.“You know that there is no way that I am ever going to do that. Adrian is going to kill me if I leave you behind and not to mention that you are carrying the future heir of the Wesley family so there is no way that I am going to leave you here”“But I can't move, i am only going to end up slowing you done, please you just have to leave and if I am lucky enough, I will still be alive when my dad comes here”Avery t

    Chapter 336:Jason stood before the men of the Wesley family, their gaze pinned on him like they were ready for any action he might take, but what they had no idea about was the fact that Kelvin was right behind him.As soon as Jason had made mention of Grandpa Hallow, they were all confused and surprised, Kelvin was also stunned to hear him mention him like they were familiar as he was forced to come out of the light.“What did you just say?” This time, it was Kelvin who could not conceal his curiosity, his entire family staring at him with nothing but disgust, yet Jason ignored his question as he turned to one of his men who was standing right behind him.“I think the girl with the holy light went through that way, you need to go after her!” He ordered.The man he had ordered walked towards the Wesley family that was standing before the tunnel, but before he could make another attempt, Adrian had invoked the fire in his hands, and immediately, the man was on fire.“You must think th

    The tunnel was so small that as Avery squeezed herself through it, she felt like she was suffocating.Her chest became so tight that it had become difficult for her to breathe; she could see her chest rising and falling rapidly with her heart so heavy that she had to stop moving.Since she was at the front and every other person had to wait for her to move in order for them to proceed, they all became confused.“Avery, is everything alright?” Amelia called out to her, Amelia was struggling so hard to hold her breath since there was a foul smell emanating from there.“You need to get going. This place stinks, and we can't hold it for a long while,” Claire complained, her voice filled with anger, but seeing that Avery hadn't responded, Amelia could tell that something was wrong.“Claire, shut up, can you tell that there is something wrong?” Amelia rebuked; speaking so loud in such a moist place made her feel so irritated.“Avery, speak to me and tell me that everything is alright?” Amel
