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
Mr. Albert knew that there was some truth in the words that he just heard from Adrian, and yet he was not ready to jump to conclusions since he had yet to confirm it. It's alright Adrian, i told him to stay here with me for a purpose And soon, I am going to find out if indeed there is something that he is hiding or not” Adrian let out a frustrating groan before he finally sat down on one of the wooden chairs in the room. “So how did things go with Kelvin?” Mr. Albert asked but Adrian disappointingly shook his head. “Not as I had expected, but there is nothing that I can do so I just have to let it go”“I am guessing that your family decided to set him free despite his crimes just to keep the family’s reputation.” Adrian nodded his head; he hated to admit it, but he knew that was the truth.“What about you, Adrian? Are you seeking to go the extra mile just so you can get revenge?”“I have no plans of seeking revenge. If I wanted revenge right now, Kelvin would be the least on my lis
A smile slowly spread through Kelvin’s lip as soon as he was informed that he had a visitor; he sent a message, although he wasn't certain if he was going to respond to it, but was glad that he did.Seth had received a message that Kelvin wanted to see him. The last time he agreed on a deal with Kelvin did not go too well, and as a result of that, he was reluctant to agree. But knowing that he was part of the underworld and there was meaning attached to the brotherhood, he had no choice but to come see him.“Seth! Thank you for coming”“Just to get things straight with you whatever this is about, I am not agreeing to it because the last time that I agreed to your demand, it almost ruined me and everything that I have worked for all my life”“I understand you, and trust me when I say that you have every reason to be angry, but I can promise you that it is not going to be like that again this time around.”Seth exhaled softly as he relaxed back on the wooden chair. “What is this about,
