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
Eva slowly fiddled with her finger behind the desk, she forced a tight-lipped smile on her face before saying the next word. “Kelvin, you know that I am ready to do anything for you, but when it comes to this aspect, it is only your grandfather that is capable of helping you so I suggest that you stick to him for now”“That is what he thinks, but that is not true. There is someone else who can help me and you are the only one who can help me speak to him”Avery narrowed her eyes at him, trying to think of who he was talking about before she asked. “Don't tell me that it's Jason that you are talking about?”“You are right, Jason has so many powers and I don't see why he won't be able to help us”“I am sorry, but I don't think that is going to happen. He is not happy with you at all because he thinks that you have been going the rules of the underworld and when you abducted Avery, he almost got into trouble for it”“He must have forgotten about it; besides, he can't continue to remain a
Adrian was able to make it on time to the gold club where Mr. Chad was playing some golf game alone.“Adrian Wesley!” Mr. Chad called out his name in a loud tone and it felt like he had talking about Adrian to his friends just now.“Mr .Chad, I am sorry for keeping you waiting”“Of course it is nothing, I was just talking to my friends right now about how busy you can be”“That is not the case, I just happened to have encountered a minor accident on my way here”“Are you alright?” Mr. Chad asked as he stared at the man from head to toe.“Yes I am doing alright, it was just a minor accident” Adrian responded and while he did, he was staring at the man who was in his late sixties. And some things were starting to make sense to Adrian as to why this man would invest a huge amount of money on Maxton corporation just after they had just recovered from a huge debt.But right now, Adrian could get his answer, the moment he arrived there, the place felt so dark, his heart throbbing heavily a
Adrian strode out of there and hurried back to the car where Klein was waiting for him. “How did it go?”“Not as I expected but I was able to clear my doubt”“Your doubt?” Klein seemed more confused. He could not tell why Adrian had gone to see this man in the first place knowing that he did not need the investment from them neither were the other members of the family going to accept it.“I guess that you were not there for an investment in the first place?” Klein asked while staring at him through the front mirror, and he nodded his head.“Let's go back to the office, other things are waiting for me to be done”“What about Mr. Smith? Won't you handle him, or are you waiting until he makes his next attack?”“Today was not an attack, that was just me being careless and losing concentration in my cultivation, that is to say, I have learned my lesson and I don't see it happening anytime soon again”“Okay, if you say so, I trust your judgment.” Klein nodded his head as he steered out of
