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
As Adrian arrived at Avery's office, her secretary immediately rose to her feet with a smile on her face. “Good morning Mr. Adrian!”“Is Avery inside?” He asked, pointing at the door, but she shook her head. “No Sir, she left for a meeting.”She responded but right there, Adrian could tell that she was lying. Because he could perceive Avery's scent of rose and berry.“Did she ask you to lie?”“What! Mr Adrian, what are you talking about?”“Avery Shou no better that she can't keep me away with such lies; get away from my sight; I want to speak to her!”“I am sorry Sir, but ma'am is not available right now, you can call her if it is an emergency, but I can't let you go inside because I will lose my job”“So you are saying that she is inside?”“No! Stop forcing words into my mouth. I just told you that Ms. Avery is not available, please Sir you should leave instead of causing a scene here”“Fine. I will leave!” He responded as he exhaled softly. Adrian turned around in an attempt to walk
Kelly sat on the cold floor of the cell. Her head lowered. It seemed like she was trying to hide the humiliation that she was feeling. Just then, one of the police walks up to her cell and unlocks it."Step out of there, you have been bailed!” He instructed that Kelly was not expecting anyone to come bail her. Her parents were out of the country, and there was no way that they would have known that she was here; she knew that Eva, who had approached her for the job, wasn't coming to her aid.Thinking about the possibility of who it might be, she could not think of anyone, and yet all she prayed for was Adrian, hoping that he was the one who had come to bail her.But Kelly looked more shocked when she walked in there and realized that it was Finn.“Finn! What are you doing here?”“Is that the proper way for you to thank me? Come on, what you should say is thank you, why do you look so disappointed?”Finn smiles broadly, but Kelly lets out a sigh. Although it was difficult for her to sp
When Adrian arrived back home that day, his face scrunched up from exhaustion and yet he could not put behind what had happened today at Avery's office. The more he thought about it, the more confused he had become, and he could not place his hand around why she would act the way she did today. Adrian let out a long sigh, knowing that he was having dinner with the rest of the family today; although that wasn't something that he wanted, it was one of those days that he could not escape it.He was about striding to the bathroom when he noticed the ceramic pot that was given to him by his master. Just yesterday, Adrian had stared at the pot and it was starting to bring out plant roots.But as he stared at it today, the root was not looking greenish like yesterday; it was beginning to wither, and Adrian knew that this was a result of the argument he had with Avery today.He picked up his phone to call her, but after several attempts, they all went to voicemail; he became exhausted and fi
Adrian was excited at first when Freya had changed the topic at the dining table, first it had ease the awkwardness that he was feeling and secondly, there was finally a smile on their face, one that he hadn't seen for a long time now.He felt more relaxed now and that meal that had seem sore in his eyes was starting to taste better but it did not take that long until Freya mentioned that name to him and everything seemed to have gone sore again.“Jason?” He called out like he did not hear her properly the first time and everyone had to stop with the celebration with their eyes fixed at him.“Yes, his name is Jason. Have you heard about him before?”“What does he do for a living?”“You sound like my older brother with the question”“I am your older brother and I think that I deserve to know.”“He is the manager of a press media company, is there a problem?”“And when can we meet him?” Adrian could not tell why he was asking her those questions but as soon as the name was mentioned, it
