Adrian arrived at the office where his dad was already waiting for him. No matter how much Mr. Daniel tried to stay calm, it was not easy for him to shake off the feeling of what was going to happen.“Why did it take you this long to get here?”“I am sorry, Dad, I had to make sure that Avery got home safely,” he explained, but it seems like the mention of Avery only seems to have angered Mr. Daniel the most.“This whole marriage thing between you and Avery, is this real?”“Yes, Dad. We are legally married and when we are ready, we will hold a wedding for the entire family to attend”“Why does it have to be her? Why do you seem to find trouble most times even when it is running away from you”“Come on, Dad, Avery isn't trouble….”“Yes, she is, and you know that,” Daniel stressed out the words, no doubt that he was feeling frustrated by the turn of events as he sighed.“Why do you hate Avery this much, she is from a respectable family, one that you were very close to”“And I will still
Everywhere was silent for a moment, they could all feel that there was a hint of sarcasm in the words that Adrian spoke.Mr. Derek thought long and hard before he finally let his gaze meet that of Adrian.“That was not what I was implying right here. I only meant that he has worked hard and should be cut some slacks, I would do the same thing if you were in that situation”He explained and thought that he had been able to avert the situation. Daniel who was sitting next to his son could not help but understand what was going on, so he whispered to him;“I thought that he is one of the men you had settled so that they would switch sides?”“Yes Dad, I gave him all that he asked for”“From what I can see here, we have been cornered and it doesn't look like he will be voting for you”“Yeah, I can see that. That is why I asked you to call Grandpa, hopefully, his vote can resolve all of this”Adrian whispered back, but Daniel gritted his teeth; he could no longer hide the anger that was boi
Daniel seemed stunned for a moment that his son decided to speak, and yet his words didn't mean that much to him because he was just about to have everything taken away from him, and yet he was unable to do anything. “So since you all have agreed on a vote to decide if Mr. Daniel remains the president or the heir takes over now, that will be the first vote that will proceed before the main!” The administration who was in charge of the voting spoke through the microphone. Mr. Ken had his eyes darting around and then stopped at Mr. Daniel Wondering how much he was in support of this or if it would end up firing back at him. No one said a word; there was no doubt that their silence meant a yes. The head of the administration, Mr ken, rose to his feet, knowing that it was time for the open ballot system. “For those of you in favor of Mr. Daniel stepping down as the president of Wesley Corporation, hands up!” He ordered. First, there was Kelvin; next, there were two other board memb
After a while that seemed to have lasted forever, Kelvin furiously stamped his fist on the desk before he tilted his head forward to the microphone.“We have listened to the bulshit that you have played; this looks so much like it was a stage and someone trying to frame me; well, I don't give a dime. You can go ahead and cancel his vote. Even if we call it a tie, I am sure you know what happens next!”Kelvin expressed that he still had that expression like he knew he was going to win no matter what happened until the next word that Adrian spoke.“Oh, you just have to relax; I still have a lot like this from where it came, and trust me, when you all are done listening to it, it won't be regarded as you have been framed, but rather the truth!”Adrian announced, his eyes glaring at him. The smile on Kelvin's face had disappeared, and now he had a deep frown.“You can't go on and frame anyone here, whatever it is that you might have discussed with anyone outside here should remain that wa
Avery delt so bored staying at the villa while Adrian was off to work, she knew that she had to continue with work, but in order to do that she had to speak to her dad and hopefully she will be able to resolve things.She placed a call to the Woods estate trying to find out if her father was at home, but was inform that he was out on a lunch meeting with some client. Avery thought of going over the house to wait for him, but she decided to go over to the resturant where he was having his meal hoping that things will work out better there.Striding through the hotel decorated with all white furnitures, painting and design, no doubt that the asthetic was meant to feel homely with the white used all around. The securities had recognise hefr as soon as she arrived.Avery and Adrian had been trending since the marriage and as a result of that, it was difficult for anyone not to recognize her.“Welcome Mrs. Avery, all our tables have been fully booked, but if you want, i couldhelp you with
Avery stood outside the resturant, it was so difficult for her to believe what just happened. First she was confuse and then she pulled out her phone from her purse, dials Adrian’s numvber but he did not hesitate in picking up.“Missing me akready?” he asked soon as he picked up the call.“When were you goi ng to tell me that kelvin took away the company from you!” she yelled out at him, she was in no mood to crack jokes with him.“Calm down Avery, where are you hearing this from?”“Is that what matters, my source of information?” she asked as she bit her lower lip, trying not to take out her anger at him.“That is because your source of information is wrong”“What!”“Yes. kelvin had called for a meeting, asking for a vote because he thinks that i am nit qualify to become the president, but after the vote was casted, i won” he explained and she was feeling much more relieved. Atleast this time around, therre is a good news that she could hiold onto.“Is that what happened, i guess my
Adrian could not concentrate at work, there was so much to do, several staffs were fired especially those suspected of working with Kelvin. His heart kept on throbbing with excitement each time that he thought of Avery. He never imagined that been married would get him this excitement and bow, he could not wait to get back home.Once he was finally done with work, he packed up all his files, place them where they were meant to be and hurries out of the office.At the office was Klein waiting for him at the car. “Sir, why do you have this broad smile on your face, is it probably because of the election today?”Klein asked as they both hopped inside the car but Adrian shook his head.“Well I wouldn't say that election isn't good news and one that is capable of making me happy but I am also happy because of Avery”“Avery?” Klein narrows his gaze while he stared at his boss. “I thought that the both of you got into a fight, what is there to be so happy about?”“Well, not anymore. We reso
Adrian was about to speak again when the call ended; the beep sound seemed to have crushed his soul as he tossed the phone next to him on the floor.“What is going on?”“Avery has been abducted!” Adrian gritted his teeth as he broke the news to Klein.“What! They gave an address, right, let's head over there immediately!”Klein insisted as he tucked his seatbelt away and was ready to get out of the car.“It is not that easy Klein”“What are you talking about, Boss? You were given an address, right? All we just need to do is go in there quickly and get her before they hurt her. I can get Fred to narrow us down to what the neighborhood looks like, that way it won't be difficult for us”Klein explained while Adrian was staring into blank space as Adrian shook his head in disapproval.“It is not as easy as it seems. It was just a phone call, but I felt so much dark aura around this man; whoever this man is, there are so many dark powers surrounding him, and trust me when I say that it is
