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
Mr. Woods was just about to land a huge deal with business partners when he received the call that his daughter was rushed to the hospital.He was told that she just met with Adrian and that Happened. Avery was bleeding through her mouth and nose, and since she came in, the doctors have been running several tests on her, yet they haven't been able to find out what was wrong with her.Mr. Woods was just about to step out of her wards so he could speak to the doctor in the United Kingdom who might have some theory regarding what was wrong with Avery.But stepping out of the room and seeing Adrian standing right there, his jaws tightened and he was filled with rage.“What are you doing here!!” He was so furious that he did not realize that he was yelling at the top of his voice.“Calm down Mr. Woods, I understand how furious you must be regarding your daughter's condition, but believe me when I say that I never wanted any of this to happen”“Is this some sort of a joke, you might as well
Adrian waited for a long period, and when Klein was finally back in the car, he turned to him anxiously. How did it go?”“I was able to speak to one of the guards who I am familiar with. 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. The guard made sure that the other guards were away before he quickly opened the door and slipped Adrian inside.Adrian sat next to Avery, who seemed fast asleep as he gently held both her hands. He shut his eyes in an attempt to connect to his powers but with each attempt that he made to connect to his powers, it felt like he was connecting into the holy light.Although Adrian wanted a way to wake her up, he had promised himself that he would never connect to her holy light, no matter the situation.*C
Kelvin had been tapping on his finger for a while now. He was starting to grow impatient, given the fact that Grandpa hadn't kept up his word, and he was still locked up.Everyone was asleep; he was the only one in his cell, given that three of his cellmates had been found dead. Kelvin does not know how long he can keep it before he turns into a monster, and knowing that it would ruin his entire reputation and everything that he has worked so hard for, he can't let it happen.While he was still staring blankly at the ceiling, his cell opened with the warden standing next to him.“You have a visitor!” He announced, Kelvin immediately jerked up to his feet, although this was not the news that he was hoping to receive, for him, there was hope with this.Kelvin started following the warden to the visitor's room and felt even more excited seeing that it was Grandpa Hallow who had come to visit him.“Grandpa! Finally, you are here; why did it take so long?”“I am sorry Kelvin that I haven't
Avery was fast asleep when she felt someone tap her. She slowly unfurled her eyes, and her father was seated next to her, his eyes staring at her with so much emotion in his eyes.“How are you feeling Avery?”“I am fine, Dad; why did you wake me up so early? Have the doctors said anything about my health?”“Yes, they were all amazed as to how fast you recovered and think that you are suitable to leave”“Leave?”“Yes, today is your wedding, or did you forget?”“Dad! How can you ask that of me, knowing how sick I was just yesterday and not fully recovered? I know how much you want to create an alliance with the Maxton family, but don't you care about your daughter!”“I care about you, trust me, Avery; everything that I have done since you were born up to this moment has been as a result of my love. I love you and that is why I am doing this”“But this is not what I want, and you know it.” Tears slowly rolled down her cheek, and his finger wiped off the strain of tears from her eyes.“We
Seth woke up early with his head banging heavily. He spent the whole night having drinks with his friends who were celebrating him, and today, it was taking a turn on him.Getting married to Avery suddenly became a difficult one for him once he was tasked with it by the underworld, and he knew that there would be huge complications if he could not achieve it, which was why he was ready to go to the end of the world just so that he could achieve it.Today felt like a very happy day for him while he took his bath and was getting ready. He had asked Jason to accompany him, his groom, and was now waiting for Jaso,n, who seemed to be running late.Just then, a knock came through his hotel room, and he groaned. “I thought that you were going to take forever to get here; you do know how impatient Avery can be, and yet you are trying to make me get on her bad side on a day like this!”He groaned while he strode over to the door, but as he clicked the door open, there was a masked man who thre
