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
Wesley stood before Avery, and at that moment, it seemed like he had understood where all of this was coming from, but now, he knew that it was going to be a very difficult task to explain to her.“You need to calm down Avery!”“I am calm and you can see that. I was just asking if you were in a hurry to do whatever it is which was your main purpose. And all this while, you kept on pretending, acting like you care about me”“I know it is hard, but I do care about you,” he expressed with sincerity in his voice, but Avery did not seem to be buying that.“You care about the holy light and not me. It has always been able it. Even the first time we met, you didn't even look at my face, all that you could see was the light which you intended to exploit”Avery clutched onto her chest, which felt like it was going to explode any second. She was in pain, and yet she was trying not to show it, but the tears already began to roll down her cheek.“That is not what I meant. You misunderstood what y
Avery remained right in her car even though she knew that she was supposed to do something at this point yet she couldn't because she was too scared to do anything at that point.But just when she is contemplating on the next measures to take, a figure comes out of the car; Avery realizes that it is a female figure and also finds herself exhaling loudly the moment she realizes that it is Freya.“Freya!” She called out, and this time, she finally got out of her car.“Do you know that I was enjoying my sleep before my brother called me to go check up on you!” She complained, walking towards Avery.“Are you also in on it with Him?”“I have no idea what you are talking about and I wouldn't want to get wrapped up in any of this, but whatever this is, I will advise that the both of you do not drag me into it”Freya complained, and right now, she was standing before Avery, who sighed in frustration.“I am sorry Freya, I guess a lot is just going through my head right now and I was taking it
Once Freya and Avery had parked the car in the Parking lot of the Wesley estate, they both stride inside but were stunned to see the entire family inside.But it was not just the entire Wesley family there. There was Mr. Woods and Seth also seated at the sitting room with Mr. Woods impatiently tapping his feet.“Finally! The bride decides to show up!” Mr. Woods spoke at the top of his voice in a sarcastic tone.Grandpa Hallow had a deep frown spread across his face, and so did Daniel, Sean, and Theo.Seeing the look on all their face, Avery immediately regretted coming back here. She thought to herself that she should have listened to Adrian and stayed back at the Villa until everyone had calmed down.“Avery, where is my Son?” Daniel asked; his voice was cold, yet he was trying to be reasonable.“He is not with me!” She muttered and then drifted closer to Freya as she whispered to her.“Why didn't you tell me that this is what is waiting for me back at your home?”“That is because I h
Adrian could barely get any sleep the whole of the night as he kept on tossing around, once the alarm on his phone started blowing off, he knew that it was time to be on his feet.But he went ahead and placed a call to Avery first, hoping that she was going to pick up, and just like she was waiting for his call, she immediately picked up.“Adrian?” She asked, her voice sounding low and sleepy.“Did I wake you up?”“It's not like you wouldn't be aware that I should be asleep while you are calling at 4:00 am”“I am sorry about that, I was just anxious and needed to be certain that you are safe!” He explained, and Avery was silent for a while; the thought of his care and concern for her made her heart start racing. Avery knew just what she was feeling for him, and no matter what she did, she couldn't deny that.“You keep acting like you care about me and yet?”“Would you believe the words that I say to a man who is trying to harm you or my actions for you all these years?”He asked agai
