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,
Grandpa Hallow sat alone in his office; he made certain that his door was properly locked because he wasn't sure about the content of what he was about to watch and would not want anyone else from his household to be involved.Slowly, he clicked through his computer and stopped right at the video that the detective sent to him. Grandpa Hallow had his suspicion but he was hoping that it wasn't true.With a soft exhale, he finally clicked on the video as it commenced. First, there was a dark room, but he was able to see everything happening with the help of the light from the camera.Two men dressed in warden uniforms were inside the room; although their faces could not be clearly identified, Grandpa Hallow could tell which of them was Kelvin.The two men seemed to be having a conversation and then got ready to go to bed; Grandpa Hallow did not have the patience to wait and forwarded the video when they were both asleep.Suddenly, Kelvin got on his feet, his eyes staring around just to
Adrian staggered to the bathroom where he had a quick bath and once he was out of the bathroom, he was feeling much more relieved and strong. He decided to place a call to Avery before leaving not sure if she would be awake, but after the first ring, her tiny voice came through.“Adrian! Hi”“Avery, I was having a second thought thinking that you might be asleep.”“Yeah, how could I sleep when I kept thinking about you I was also thinking of calling you but did not want to seek clingy.”“I told you that I love it more when you cling to me a lot!” There was a smile on his phone as he was struggling to keep the phone on his ear while buttoning his shirt.“You sound edging, what are you doing?”“Oh! I was getting ready to meet with a friend, my secretary. She had a birthday party and since I couldn't meet up, I promise that I would have a few drinks with her today”“You are going out with your secretary, doesn't that sound unprofessional to you?”“Let's not forget that she is also my fr
After Avery was done speaking to Adrian and the call ended, she turned and tossed around the end until a knock came through.Avery felt excited, considering that sleep was away from her, but the smile on her face faded as soon as she opened the door and realized that it was Seth.“Seth! What are you doing here?”“Our wedding is in three days it is only proper that I check up on you and see how you are planning”“I see that you still have that weird imagination going on in your head. I am sorry Seth but no matter what you say or do, I am never getting married to you”“Because you think that Adrian is so in love with you and is going to marry you?”“That is none of your business, just say why you are here and leave!”“Do you even know where your faithful boyfriend is right now?” He asked and she turned her attention deeply at him.“What is that meant to mean?”“Nothing. I am just saying before you label me a cheater and him a faithful boyfriend, you should be sure about where he is righ
Adrian followed the security to the room that had all the footage of the club. He was offered a seat which he refused while they went ahead to play out the videos from the club since earlier today.He could not find any video that was an evidence that Kelly had indeed tried to kill him. Adrian was beginning to think that Avery had an interior motive for coming here when a video of Seth walking into the club popped up.“Wait!” He ordered them, and they slowed down the video, taking it back to the time when he first stepped in. Adrian had his eyes fixed on the screen of the computer watching each step Seth took. He had met with the waiter, and they both seemed to be having a private conversation; once they were done talking, Seth handed the waiter a tip and started walking away.While he was walking out of the club, Kelly just arrived as they both exchanged a quick glance with Kelly giving him a knowingly nod. Adrian let out a soft sigh of disappointment as he turned to the computer op
The next morning, when Adrian got dressed and hurried downstairs, The elders were in the living room and seemed to be pacing around. With the anxiety in their eyes, Adrian could tell that something was definitely wrong.“Good morning Grandpa, Dad is everything alright?” Adrian asked as his gaze glanced from Uncle Sean to Uncle Theo down to his father.“Adrian did you know about these?” His Dad asked but Adrian had no idea what they were talking about as he stared at them perplexed.“Avery Woods just filed a case against Kelvin for Abduction, false restraints, and attempted murder on you”Sean listed out the charges; Adrian stood there with his eyes wide open; he was so confused that he wasn't even sure what to say at that point.“Why do you look so surprised,? Are you trying to say that you weren't aware that she was going to file such lawsuit against your brother?”Sean asked and Adrian hated the way he addressed him as his brother when they all knew that he never had that relationsh
