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
Mr. Derek sat there trying to contemplate if it would go against the plan if he went ahead and disclosed how many there were."Six!” he suddenly blurted out but Adrian lowered his eyelid at him.“You know that is not true….”“Alright, you got me, it was seven of the board members that he had convinced, he said that was all that he needed, and considering how big Grandpa Hallow’s share was, it should be able to cover for all the votes that he might need to add up the seven”Mr. Derek finally blurted out and while he did, he seemed more relaxed than he previously was when he first got here as Adrian continued to sip his glass of cocktail.“So you are saying that Kelvin is convinced that he would be able to get Grandpa Hallow to give him his vote?”“We all know how much Grandpa Hallow loves him and I know that you were not here in the past, but Grandpa Hallow dotted on his more than his own biological children”“I see….” Adrian muttered, barely audible to himself, and why he did, he seem
Adrian strode over to the car where Klein was waiting for him and as soon as he hopped inside, Klein asked;“How did it go?”“Just the way that I wanted it to go.” he expressed, and that seemed to be a relief for Klein, who finally steered off the engine and drove off.“While I was waiting for you, I made some calls to some court and magistrate and I have a court ready to wed you and Avery by tomorrow”“Did you inform them that I need the certificate to be fake?” Adrian asked but Klein was silent for a while before he went ahead to ask.“Why do you want it to be a fake marriage?” He asked, staring at Adrian from the front mirror with curiosity in his eyes.“I believe that you are not dumb Klein, you should know that she is been forced to get married to someone that she doesn't have any feelings for, and worst of it, I feel like this has something to do with the underworld”“Yes, that is true. But she is your woman and you love her, so why wouldn't you just get a real marriage certific
Adrian arrived at the court very early the next day, trying to make sure that everything went as planned. And when he arrived there, the magistrate was already there and ready to get things set.He made sure that Fred, Ted, and Klein were all present there to serve the purpose of witness, but it did not take long before he started to worry, seeing that Avery was running late.“Boss, I think that you should give her a call and find out what is holding up!” Fred suggested after waiting for a long while but Adrian forced a nervous smile on his face.“You don't have to worry about anything, Fred; she assured me that she was going to be here, And I trust her enough to know that she would keep to her word,” He assured him, trying not to be as nervous as he was.“But she is running late, for all we know, she might be in danger!” Fred suggested but Adrian shot him a glare.“Careful with your words Fred! We agreed on 8:00 am and it is just 8:30 am. A little more patience and if she is not here
As soon as Adrian realizes that the magistrate and his men had hurried away through the back door, he rose to his feet, his eyes darted towards Klein.“Klein! Go after them and get the marriage certificate!” He yelled; although the place had become noisy, Klein could hear what he said as he dashed out of there, going after the magistrate.Seth was standing next to Adrian, who was struggling to get to his feet; his eyes were filled with rage as he pointed the gun at Adrian.Adrian shut his eyes, and when he opened it again, there were burning flames in there that Seth was forced to drift backward.“What the hell! You are a monster!”“Trust me, you do not want to find out the kind of monster that I am!” Adrian's roar, his voice had gone so deep that Avery was afraid of what he was going to do.“That is enough, Adrian, Let's get out of here; he is not worth all of this!”Avery expressed as she held his hand, stopping him from taking any step closer to Seth. Adrian, seeing that Avery had
Adrian could not tell what had happened, but it seemed like there was a switch inside of Seth that had been ignited as he suddenly burst out laughing.“And what is so funny?” Adrian, who suddenly came to a halt, asked.“I just remembered what is going to happen to me once I leave here empty-handed. I am sure that you know why I have been hell-bent on getting married to Avery?”“Yes, I put the pieces together. Because the underworld asked you to which is why I quickly got married to her”Adrian gloated, standing right before Seth.“I knew it. You got married to her for the same reason, and you are going to be using her holy light the same way the underworld wanted to do, isn't that so?”“I don't get to answer to you, but I am more curious about what they intend to do with her, what is the purpose?”“Stop acting like you do not know Adrian, she has the holy light, that is all people like you see her as. She is just a vessel and nothing more!”“A vessel for what?”“For more powers!” Seth
