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
It was past midnight when Adrian decided to go back home; he felt so relieved, realizing that he was able to put a smile on her face. But as soon as he stepped his feet into the large living room, there was Grandpa Hallow and his dad sitting there.Adrian was startled seeing these two figures in the living room this late at night; the air around there suddenly became sore for Adrian as he could tell that something was wrong.“Grandpa! Dad! Why are the both of you out here this late at night?”“We have been waiting for you and some reason, it felt like you might not make it back home today”“Of course I would, I had a lot to do at the office which is why I am only coming back just now”“Work? We sent someone to check on you at the office but you weren't there, we even went as far as checking your schedule but there was no meeting that could have stressed up to that time of the night”“What is this about? Because I do not know when you started monitoring my movement; if I have done some
Kelly stood right there and waved at his car as it drove off, she could not tell why she had to tell him this, but for her, she felt like it was going to help her later in the future. She exhaled softly as she turned around and started heading back home.Her parent were out of town, she had just lost her internship job, and now she wasn't sure in which direction she was going to take. Standing before her apartment was Finn, after the last time when they both got intimate, it got them closer to each other, but even up till now, Finn does not have the keys to her apartment, which was why he was standing at the door waiting for her.“Finn! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at work?” her eyes trailed at him from head to toe; he was dressed in a black suit, and his scent felt so nice that she was forced to smile, yet he maintained a blank expression.“Where are you coming from?”“What is it finn, it is not like I have to report to you wherever I go”“I am your man and I have been
As soon as Adrian arrived at his office, Ted and Fred stood outside his office, and no doubt that they had been waiting for him for a long while now.“Good morning, sir. We have been waiting for you for a while now, and I think that you should get a new secretary because, without that, your office looks shabby,” Ted explained as he stood behind Adrian, waiting for him to open up the door.Adrian twisted the doorknob, the door swung open, and they all stepped in.“ I heard you loud and clear and will open up a vacancy, have a seat both of you, and tell me why you had to be heard so earlier than everyone else working at Wesley Corporation”“That is not true; there were several workers that were already here when we got here.” Ted still went ahead to smile, and Adrian could not help but smile brightly as he took his seat.“That was meant to come out as sarcasm; I just meant to say that whatever brought you out here this early must be important, so go ahead and speak,” he ordered, but the
