After Adrian had left yesterday, the entire family was moody, and most of them did not have the will to go to work. Freya was trying so hard to recover from the heartbreak that she got from Jason, and now, she was going to have to deal with not seeing him for a while.Grandpa, seeing the foul mood that everyone was in, forced them to come downstairs for breakfast, and rather than the usual breakfast of oatmeal or scrabble egg, it was a feast of lamb and several varieties of seafood.“Grandpa! What is the occasion?” Claire asked while standing next to her sister Sarah and Freya.“Do I need an occasion before I can have a good meal with my family?”“You won't blame us; it is not every time that we get to enjoy such luxury or Grandpa, have you suddenly forgotten that you are an advocate for no wasting of money on expensive meals,” Sarah teased before she took the space next to him.The rest of the family hurriedly joined the table except for Amelia, who was busy in the kitchen, and despi
Adrian stood at the gate of Wesley Corporation, and even while he did, he could not stop glancing through the side mirror cautiously when he finally noticed Freya walking over to him.“Freya!” he alighted from the car, hurried over to her even before she would get out of the car and embrace her.“Adrian, I miss you and everyone at home also does”“Come on, I have only been gone for a night, there is no way that you all already miss me that much”“Are you going to tease me now?” she pouted her lips like a child that he was forced to laugh before leading her to the car.“Get in. I have lots of enemies lately, and I have been trying to be cautious,” he ordered before they were both inside the car; he squeezed her arm gently and then asked.“How are you doing Freya?” There was concern in his eyes, knowing that his sister was yet to get over Jason.“What do you expect Adrian, so much has been going off in our family and I think that those evil energy you warded off are all back and you nee
Mr. Maxton sat at his favorite luxurious leather sofa with a glass of champagne around the tip of his fingers. Jason was seated at the other of the living room, although a glass of champagne had also been served to him, but he did not touch neither did he seem interested in it.“Sir, you ask to see me, what is this about?”“I feel like you are the closest to my son and if there is anyone that would have an idea regarding what is happening right now, that will be you”“Did something happen Sir?”“Seth has been gone for a while and has refused to come back home, he claimed that he had gone for a business meeting outside the country, but I checked with his assistance and there weren't any meetings that he had to attend”“Are you sure about this?”.“Yes! His assistant also claimed that he had a lot of meetings packed up he hadn't attended, refused to pick up his call, and worst of it, did not inform her before leaving”“That is strange, was there an argument between the both of you before
Avery had just ended a call with Freya and was consumed with rage; she stormed down the stairs, her feet making a loud thumping stairs.Mr. Woods, who was on a call with a business associate, immediately ended the call as soon as he noticed the foul mood his daughter was in.“What is it this time Avery?”“Don't look at me with that fatherly gaze and pretend like you do not know what you have done!”“How about you have a glass of water, calm down, and tell me what is so bad that I have to deserve my daughter giving me that scary look the first thing in the morning”“I don't need a glass of water, neither do I need to calm down, why did you go behind my back and withdraw the case against Kelvin Wesley?”“Oh! All this fuss is about that, I was going to inform you about it but I had other things going on, you shouldn't be this way, of all people should know that when you file a case against Kelvin, you file it against the entire Wesley family and considering that you are trying so hard fo
Jason sat in the darkness of his room, his eyes shut as he tried to connect with his powers; he could feel the powers drawing in on him, the wind in his room grew strong, and the voice of the dead that had been attacked to his powers whispered inside his ears.The darkness had clouded him, that was exactly what he wanted. He had been defeated by Adrian too many times and now, Jason wanted to be certain that he was fully prepared.But he was immediately interrupted by a knock on the door. Even while the knock persisted, he still had his eyes shut, but as soon as the eye mirror navigated to the door and he saw Freya standing right there, that was the moment that Jason disconnected from the darkness.He was too surprised and confused to do anything again as he thought of several reasons why Freya would be at his house and even after thinking long and hard, the only thing he thought was that this was a trap.A smile immediately curled through his lips. He was going to use this against her
Freya could not believe the news she was seeing on the screen of her phone; her eyes popped out wide, and her hands were trembling even after she tossed the phone away, it was difficult for her to get a grip on the wheel.When she finally arrived back at the estate, she was surprised that it was so difficult for her to stand still, but it did not end there as her father, who was sitting with the rest of the family, rose to his feet and slammed her hard on the cheek.Everyone gasped in awe at his action. Everyone knew Freya to be Daniels's favorite child, and no matter what she did, it was never wrong in his eyes, but right now, he was so furious to the extent that he lifted his hands at his daughter.“Daddy!” She called out, still trying to believe the reality of what was happening with her hand clutching to her cheek.“How could you Freya, you were there the day you brought your fiance just like you had addressed him over here, you stood here and watched what had transpired between h
Adrian arrived at sandalwood press, it was a six-story building. He had come there with twenty men from Wesley Corporation, and as soon as they arrived, they started walking inside, but the security at the gate would not let them go any further.“I am sorry, sir, you can't go inside unless you go ahead and state your purpose of coming here,” the security insisted, but before he could say any further, one of the men from Wesley Corporation smacked him hard on his stomach.While he clutched his stomach and lumped to the ground, he was shoved to the corner, and they stormed inside. Adrian was consumed with so much rage; he had never been this angry before that he thought of handling things in such a drastic way.At the large hall where various staff had their corner, they all rose to their feet seeing the massive crowd that Adrian had walked in. Most of them immediately recognize him, despite how much the Wesley family had tried to shield their hair away from the press, there was no way
As soon as Adrian was brought into the visitor’s room, Grandpa Hallow was so furious that he did not bother waiting for Adrian to sit down before smacking him hard.“How could you!” he yelled at the top of his voice, but despite how loud his palm had landed on Adrian’s back, he did not flinch or even make a sound.“You unfilial grandson of mine, you were a suspect in a case and was told to lay low, is this your definition of laying low, you go about causing more trouble for us, and now it is not just your sister who is on the internet but you have also joined her in tarnishing the family’s name!”He scolded him while Daniel stood silently behind him, there was no doubt that he was also disappointed in his son but did not say a word while Grandpa Hallow was still furious.“Grandpa, I know that I have disappointed you, but don't worry because I am going to get back at him”“Are you dumb, or didn't your foster parent send you through school long enough for you to know the kind of problem
