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
It was past midnight, and Avery was feeling so exhausted as she clutched onto her wedding gown while striding out of the car; this was the second time that she had been humiliated by Seth as she had to wait for several hours at the altar alongside all her guests.Avery fell on the white leather sofa before she exhaled softly. Finally, she felt relieved to be back home.“You should go upstairs and change; I believe that by tomorrow, we are going to get a call from Seth, and all of this will be over,” her Dad, who walked in together with her, spoke with a nonchalant attitude that Avery was forced to sit upright and stared at him.“Dad! Why are you acting like what happened today was not enough embarrassment as it was to me”“Come on Avery, this is nothing, I am sure that Seth has an explanation for this”“Are you kidding me, Dad, we spent the entire day at the church, and you had a guest who just flew into the country all because of the wedding, I was sick, very sick then you know abou
Avery felt her heart shivering as the man held her; her first instinct was to scream, but she could not, considering how hard he held her as she thought if she was going to get killed.“Don't tell me that you never attended any survival class!” The male voice that had been clutching onto her spoke and Avery was forced to exhale loudly. She could not believe that she had been holding that much breath.She pulled away from Adrian who was giggling that she smacked him hard. “You are naughty; how could you do that to me, or do you have an intention of sending me to my grave?”She yelled to the extent that she was almost crying. Adrian felt so touched and wrapped his hands tenderly around her.“I am so sorry about that, I just wanted to be sure that you were the only one coming in, but I did not imagine that you would be this scared”He said before he chuckled again but she rolled her eyes at him and started pulling off her wedding gown.“Why are you here even after knowing that today is m
