Daniel immediately followed his daughter to her room, and as he entered, he slammed the door behind him. Freya was fuming in rage while he found himself a seat. It was not every time that he found his daughter this furious, and on such occasions, he knew just how to handle her.“Calm down Freya, you know that it is wrong for you to walk out on Grandpa in such a manner, he is the elder of this family and the last thing that we do not do is disrespect the elder” “I am aware of that Dad and I am sorry but how can you stand there and watch them betray Adrian” “Betray Adrian, why would you put it like that, it is not like it was Adrian that was adopted”“Yes but he was the one who went to save her and took the risk, for all we know, he might have been the one that had Adrian adopted” “I suggest that you do not say that in of others, it is wrong to accuse anyone falsely” “Are you for real, you care about the fact that it might be true. You all promised that you were goin
Adrian had gone the second round in torturing Mr. Smith. His entire face had turned red; he was panting heavily and finding it so difficult to breathe, that he was feeling his heart almost ripping out of his chest. “You know I used to refer to you as a father all this while even after all the cruel things that your family did to me not because you deserve the title but out of respect for you, but right now, I can see that you are not worth this title, so how about I refer to you as Reynold!” “Please…. Please let me go, I can't die in your hands” “Oh! You do not have to be afraid of death because you are not dying here, but one thing that I can assure you is the fact that I will make you beg for death and it will be too far away from you” “Those people that you are going up against are far bigger than you; they are dangerous, and trust me when I say that if you keep going after them, you will end up losing everyone close to you. That is fatherly advice from me!”He groa
After Mr. Smith had left the house to attend a meeting, Finn was certain that the meeting was with Adrian. He waited for him the entire day but there was not a trace of him. Finn tried reaching out to him through his cell phone, but it was to no avail; it was at this moment that Finn realized that something was wrong and his Dad might actually be in danger.While Finn was still trying to reach out to the police and report a case of a missing person, his mother and sister finally arrived back home. “Look who decided to show up after spending half of the company’s fund!” he teased even though he wasn't finding it funny, yet he had to make a joke about it, considering how relieved he was. “Finn! I don't think that this is the proper way for you to welcome your sister and me back home after such an exhausting trip” “Hold your breath, because your day is just about to get more exhausting!” he expressed as he turned to her. Eleanor, who was just seated, turned to her son, wond
Eleanor went there with so much determination in her that she wasn't going to leave without any clue about where her husband was. She had heard rumors lately about how dangerous Adrain had become, and yet she was going to push him to the edge. “Mrs. Smith, I suggest that you step aside so you do not end up getting hurt” Klein's voice came in the most polite manner that he could think of. “We are not leaving this place and I advise you that you do not speak to my mother like that!” Finn's voice came through while he stood with his chest high and all boldness. “Klein, call the estate and have them send in another car!” Adrian spoke to Klein while he chose to ignore them like they were not standing there in all fury.Mrs. Smith wanted to get his attention so much. She lifted her hand to slam him hard, but he grabbed her hand forcefully before it would make its way to her face. As she stared into his eyes, she quickly drifted backward. “I let you the first time but if yo
Adrian carefully settled in his office, his eyes staring at the file on his desk like it was a lump of wood that he was unable to handle. He had been going through a lot lately and Adrian felt like his powers were slowly fading from exhaustion.He picks up his phone and decides to place a call on Avery. “Avery, hi,” Adrian's voice spoke as soon as the other caller picked up.“Adrian!”“How are you feeling?”“I am good and I told you to stop worrying about me”“I can't help it. After what I saw, I have been too scared and want to make sure that everything is fine from your end”“You have nothing to worry about, I am absolutely fine. Are you at work?”“Yes I am at the office right now” “So when are you coming to take the blood samples for whatever it is that you need it?”“Is that your way of telling me that you miss me and want me to come see you?” He teased as Avery, who had been down all day, could not help but giggle.“Fine. I am bored, being at home alone, and I was also thinking
After visiting the construction sight, Adrian felt so relieved that at least there was one thing that was finally working in his favor. As soon as he arrived at his office, he was informed by his secretary that his Dad was there and had requested his attention.Daniel had his gaze fixed on his computer when a knock came through. “Come in!” He announced with a smile on his face, and as soon as Adrian stepped in, Daniel rose to his feet and hurried over to his son.“Adrian!” He wrapped his arms around Adrian so tightly that Adrian felt comfortable around the warmth of his father.“I received the news from the lead engineer, and I must say that I am so proud of you”“I did nothing Dad, it was the engineers that did all the work”“And yet you are the brain behind it who had brought the perfect idea to fix the flaw in the building. Believe me, when I say that I am so proud of you, even though you do not have actual knowledge about this, you still took out your time, and did so much researc
It was lunch hours when Adrian left the office. He went over to Avery and collected the blood samples. Although Avery wanted him to stay much longer, Adrian had so much to do and knew that he could not stay much longer.As he strode out of the Woods estate, Seth, who just arrived, came to a halt at the sight of Adrian, his jaws tightened.“What are you doing here, you do know that Avery and I are getting married in two days and it is not proper at all for you to be visiting her”Adrian smiles broadly with both his hands tucked into his pocket; he walks closer to Seth. He could feel the dark aura around him, and for some reason, Adrian felt like the powers were too strong, but he was hoping that he would find a way to know how strong they were.“Last time that I checked, Avery has blatantly told you that she is not getting married to you. There are so many women out there, why are you so bent on Avery?”“I would ask you the same question. We both know that Avery is my woman and has bee
Adrian arrived at Mr. Albert's apartment. As soon as his car came to a halt. He alighted from the car and walked towards the door, where he stretched out his hand to knock, but the door immediately opened like someone was expecting him.“Bob hey!” Adrian expressed although he was still surprised by Bob's action just now.“Adrian, it is so good to see you”“Thanks!” Adrian forced a smile despite knowing that Bob was not so happy to see him and yet he could not tell why. Bob still stood at the door and did not move away for him to go inside.“I am here to see Master, can I come in?” Adrian asked, not happy about the fact that he had to get permission from someone before seeing his master.“Oh! You know Master was not so happy the way you interrupted his cultivation the other day and as a result of that, he had to start afresh”“Oh, I will apologize to him about that. Now how about you step out of my way and let me come in”“Haven't you been listening to me? You can't come in because the
