Jason stood before the dark figure, his entire body was covered with a back hoodie. Jason had always been curious about the fact behind the hoodie but did not dare look.“What is so important that you dare summon me?”“You are standing before the sanctuary, and you tell me that you have found the key. Is that true?”“Yes master”“Bring it over, that I may place my hands on it!” He ordered and as soon as he did, the smile on Jason's face immediately disappeared.“I apologize Master, but I do not have the key right here with me”“Where then have you placed it?”“I have not been able to retrieve it.” Jason was about to explain further, but the strange man narrowed his gaze at him. His gaze was dark, and while Jason had looked into those eyes briefly, there was no form of human eyes that he was able to capture; all he had seen there was darkness.“Jason! Your servant of the sanctuary, why have you lost your way? You stand before me to say that you haven't retrieved the key, and yet you s
Jason parked outside the Maxton corporation, his eyes glancing at his phone from time to time.He could see Seth walking over to his car dressed in a casual outfit. Jason knew that wasn't the outfit that Seth would choose for work, and he could tell that he wasn't back to normal since the whole marriage was canceled.“Whatever this is about, it better be important because I don't have a lot of time on my hands”Seth expressed as he walked up closer to him; there were traces of sweat on his forehead, which wasn't something he would expect from someone who had been inside the air conditioner all day.“You look shabby, Seth, and that is not something that I see around you; what is going on?”“What do you expect when Adrian has ruined my wedding with Avery, now it seems like I might fail in my task and while it is your task to get rid of him, I do not see you doing a good job at it”“Oh, you should be worried about your task and not mine. I summoned the sanctuary today”Jason blurted out
Adrian had both his legs wrapped around each other while seated on the floor with both his eyes shut.He had heard so much about this key and yet he knew nothing about it or how he would be able to retrieve it.“How is it going?” Klein, who had been seated there all this while with a bottle of beer in his hand, asked,d, seeing how Adrian sighed in frustration.“I can't seem to have gotten anything. I have tried connecting with my powers but the thing is I don't even know what this power looks like or what I should be looking for”“Then since you don't know what you are looking for, how about you stop and then we can channel that energy into finding a way to get away from this lawsuit that you just got us involved”“Yeah, the Wesley corporation has the best lawyers in town who graduated from Harvard and yet they are not able to get me through this case”He sighed and then continued. “I have a lead on the case to prove that Jason was the one that had abducted me, but while I was trying
At the large conference hall were seated twelve board members. Adrian stared around the hall, but there was no sign of Kelvin in there.“Where is he?” Adrian turned to his father at the door.“I have no idea, he is not here yet but I am shocked as to how these men all arrived immediately after he called for the meeting, I feel like they had been informed beforehand and it was just the both of us that was kept on the loop”Daniel explained as he sighed.“What about Uncle Sean?” “I called him, but he reminded me that he did not want to have anything to do with the company”“Why would he say such a thing? He has a share in the company and should still consider himself a part of it. Doesn't he realize what is going on?”Adrian was hoping not to feel frustrated while pouring out his suggestion.“I tried explaining these to him, but he thinks that Kelvin is a boy and I should be able to handle him. If I am been sincere right now Adrian, you have been neglecting your duties to the company w
They all listened to Kelvin speak even while Daniel and Adrian had been silent all this while, they could tell that most of the board members were considering Kelvin's words.“Mr. Kelvin!” One of them spoke, that was Mr. Drake who is very close to Kelvin and only a few years older than Kelvin.“You have just pointed out a few important points which I must say that we all have taken notes of it. It is no secret anymore that Mr. Adrian is not capable of the task which is handed to him in this company; in fact, he has not a single experience of running such a huge corporation and, as such, is not fit to take over.”He concluded and then took his seat but briefly exchanged a look with Kelvin, who looked so cold.“So what do you all suggest is done?” Daniels's voice came through; he sat on the large armchair that was swiveling around the office, a call domineering expression on his face like he had no idea that the company was just about to be taken away from them.“We are suggesting that
There were some private conversations among the board members; at first, they thought that they had the entire situation under control, but suddenly, they felt like the tides had turned around.Kelvin furiously stormed out of there with Eva right behind him, but just when he thought that he would be able to contain his anger, walk out of there and not say a word to him, there was Adrian who rested his back at his car, his hands wrapped around each other and no doubt that he was waiting for him.“What are you doing here?” He asked Adrian, his jaws tightened into a frown, and the beast inside of him was pushing him so hard to smack Adrian, yet Kelvin was trying to be professional.“I think that I should be the one asking you that, what the hell do you think that you are doing here, you just came out of jail, what any sensible human would be doing is resting his head, that way he doesn't get into another trouble, but here you are trending with fire”“You are no fire, Adrian because your
Wesley spent the rest of the day at the office trying to handle so much work that he had neglected all this while; for most reasons, he wanted to handle all loose ends at the office; that way, there was not much excuse the board members would have to vote him out.He was almost done stamping his signature on most of the document, ranging from the cosmetics line they had shipped in, the new cloth line, down to the construction jobs, which was the core earning of the Wesley corporation.A knock came through the door, and before he would even get the chance to ask who that was, the door swung open, and Ted walked in.“The meeting that you wanted me to fix with Mr. Derek….”“Were you able to get that done?”“It wasn't an easy one, first he thought that I was some sort of a scam since he said that I was calling him with a number not registered to Wesley corporation not to mention the fact that he checked and my name wasn't on the employment list”“So he didn't agree that he was going to se
At the luxurious Sky Hotel was Mr. Derek, a man in his late fifties, seated in the VIP section of the hotel. The Sky Hotel is considered one of the most expensive hotels in town, with only one of the one percent able to afford it.He had both his legs crossed as he held a glass of champagne at the tip of his fingers, his eyes comfortably glancing around when Adrian hurried inside. “Finally! Mr. Adrian, I was just about to finish my glass of wine and leave, considering that this meeting isn't that important to you,” Mr. Derek expressed while Adrian went ahead to take the seat opposite.“I apologize Mr. Derek, but you do know that this meeting is important to me because I am the one who had ordered it, but there was traffic on my way here and there is nothing that I could”“Very well then, I don't have much time, so how about we get straight to the point so that I can leave” the older man insisted as he placed the wine glass on the table, he had just consumed its entire content and fro
