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

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!

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.

It is a risky one but he has agreed to help me”“Okay. What are we waiting for, let go inside!”“Yes sir. But you can't stay more than five minutes in there because the guard told me that Mr. Woods will be back soon”“You have nothing to worry about Klein!” Adrian felt so relieved as he hurried inside.

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

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

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 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

    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
