Adrian started walking towards his office and Freya who was trying to comprehend the situation had no choice but to go after him as she slammed the door behind her once she was inside.

“What is this about Adrian, I thought that you would be happy with this news of having your own office and a new secretary, I mean it is someone you are familiar with, that way it would be alot easier to work with"

“I am sorry if I acted so wrongly, but I think it must have skipped my mind to tell you some details of my experience at school, Kelly was my crush back then in school”

“Wow! That is a good thing, that is if you still have a crush on her, She is right next to you now so I think that it will be much easier for you to speak to her since she will be working with you”

“I am no longer interested in her and that is because she is already dating my foster brother”

“Oh! I see…”

“Yes, Finn found out that I had a crush on her so he took the initiative to speak to her first and she accepted, besides I w

What are you doing here?” She asked and no doubt that she was stunned at his presence making her come to a halt a few inches away from him.“I came to see you I have been waiting here for more than two hours, why did it take you this long to dismiss or was there something else that you were doing after dismissal?” “Something else like what?” She narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him but he chose to brush it off.“Come off it Kelly, I have been trying to get to you for days now and it has been so difficult to reach you”“Well if you haven't noticed, that is because I have been so busy” She rolled her eyes at him while she responded.“You have

    Kelvin remained standing, although he soon did not feel comfortable about his actions, yet he remained calm. “Whatever it is that you have to say, be quick with it and leave as soon as possible, I told you the last time that we met that I do not want to have anything to do with the underworld again”“The sanctuary was burnt down” Jason suddenly blurted, ignoring what Kelvin was ranting about.“That is a joke right?” Kelvin asked with a soft chuckle that escaped his lips. “The sanctuary is filled with supernatural items, there is no way that he would burn down no matter what they did, which is why I think that this is a joke”“You think that I will drive all the way to your house in the middle of the night just to crack jokes with you. You are right in some aspect, the sanctuary can't burn down with just natural flames unless it is one with the power of the flames”Jason explained as Kelvin thought about it for a while and could not seem to comprehend what it meant.“Look here Jason, I

He hasn't been without his powers for a long time now and without it, he felt so weak that it was killing him.His eyes trail around the basement as he realizes that he is all alone in there. All members of the Smith family were gone, and with his head pounding with pain, he raised his arm to touch his head and realized that there were traces of blood,d, which was the source of the pain.Jason exhaled softly before he sat upright, filled with regret as to how he had let his guard down. Just while he was still trying to get a grasp of himself, he stared at his phone and realized there were ten missed calls and fifteen messages from his right-hand man.“Fuck!” he cursed, rising to his feet, and despite how weak and sour he felt from the pain and beating he had received, he still hurried away from the apartment.He got into his car and sped off, arriving at the scene where all the men had been lined up and waiting for his arriv

    First, they were reluctant to accept the food as they had no idea what sick games he was trying to play. Mrs. Smith stretched out her arm to grab one of the meals that was carefully packaged in a takeout, but her husband immediately stopped her before turning his attention to Jason. “Mr. Jason, why have you brought us this food, is that the way you want to have us killed?” Mr. Smith asked but Jason chuckled so loud that one would think there was not a hint of danger around him. “Poison you, I mean that is an insult to me, if I want you dead, there are just several ways that I would do it and I might not even have to lift a finger, why would I go through the stress of having you poisoned” He explained and knowing how powerful he was, they thought that he was right. “If that is not the case, then why have you brought food to my family when I know that you are going to end up killing us after these” Mr. Smith asked, and this time, Jason, who seemed to be losing his patience, f

    Jason was filled with rage when he arrived at the sanctuary; so many members had all burned down, and those who had survived were barely recognized, not to mention the items they had lost.“Boss! What are we going to do now?” His right-hand man, who had called him on the phone when all of this started, asked.“Where were you when the fire started and why couldn't you put it off with your powers?” Jason scolded, he was so angry that he badly needed someone he was going to take out his anger on.“I am sorry Boss, I tried my best, but the fire was no ordinary one, it was Adrian's flame, and no matter what I did, it wouldn't stop instead it just kept getting worse”He explained. Jason's face had turned red, with bulging veins from his forehead like twisted ropes; his eyes were blazing with fury that his right-hand man had to drift backward for fear of what he might do to him.“Adrian….” He groans with his fist clenched. “You have done so much, and I think that it's time to get my revenge;

    The entire family was silent for a long while like they were expecting Kelly to do the talking. Tears trickled down her cheek while she thought of what to say and yet she could not think of any.“Kelly! You heard what my uncle just asked you and we really would like to know, how can we be certain that you are not lying to us and this is not part of some sort of sick game from Jason which you are just involved in?”Adrian went ahead to imply with Avery still seated next to him.“I don't know how else I can prove myself to you all, better still, you can send someone to go and check on the Smith family, you will find them locked up in the basement and then you will realize that what I am saying is the truth”She assured them, this time, there was a hint of combination in their face as they thought about it and the possibility that it might indeed be true.“Adrian, what do you think?” Grandpa Hallow sought his opinion, but after the conversation that he had earlier today with Klein, Adria

    The car came to a halt right at the parking lot of the Wesley estate, with Adrian hurrying inside. In the living room were Grandpa Hallow, Daniel, Uncle Sean, Uncle Theo, Aunt Amelia, Claire, Sarah, and Freya. Avery stood at the door; she had always been finding it difficult to get along with the family and thought that she should take it slowly.There was the visitor whom Avery had spoken about on the phone, which was Kelly. Kelly sat on the single couch; she looked unkempt, her hair disheveled, and Adrian could barely recognize her as he walked in.“Kelly?” he asked, his eyes scanning around her, yet he did not forget to give Avery a gentle kiss before he turned to Kelly.‘Kelly, is that you?” he asked again; it was so hard for him to believe that this was truly her and how possible she had lost so much weight. Kelly lowered her head with a shy smile; she knew that she wasn't at her best, which only made her more embarrassed that she couldn't look him in the face.“How have you been

    .Adrian stormed the sanctuary alongside thousands of soldiers and police. He stood outside with Klein standing next to him as he watched them burn the place down; although there were several members inside, he didn't care; he wanted them burned alongside the building.“After this, what next?” Klein asked, seeing the fury that swept through his face. He had never seen his boss this angry, and he knew that after the encounter with the dark master, something had changed within him.“I am going to find every other member left and I am going to have them killed, they hurt my family too much and I will be a fool to let them get away with it and I am going to be starting with Kelvin who seems to be on the run”“What about Jason? You do know that he is still alive, right?” asked, his face glued to Adrian like he was trying to take in all of his emotions.“I took away all of Jason's powers, he won't be able to do much now” There was shock on Klein's face for a breath moment before he asked;“

    Finn, alongside the rest of his family, could feel their throat dry; Kelly could clearly hear the heartbeat of the others, and given how hungry she was, if she had the opportunity, she was ready to eat them alive.After Jason had left, he wanted to kill Kelly, but given how much Finn had pleaded with him, he finally decided to punish the entire family by locking them up in the basement of their apartment with no food or drink, and no matter how much they screamed, no one would be able to hear them.And as a result of that, the family blamed Finn for bringing Kelly into their home.“There were other girls from other wealthy families that you could have met with and taken our family from this burden that has been resting on our head, instead you chose a girl like her who has come to ruin her”“Come on Mom, don't put the blame on her, it is not her fault, you were the one who insisted that Dad worked with Jason even when Adrian was ready to help us for no cause”Finn sighed, he was getti

    Adrian, along with Avery and Klein, all rose to their feet as they watched the men storm out of there. First they were afraid as they had no idea what other crimes they might have committed until Mr. Daniel alongside his daughter and Mr. Woods stormed out of the car.“DADDY!” Avery yelled at the top of her voice as she rushed over to him, she had never been this happy to see him like this before. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and tears filled her eyes.“Daddy…. I was so scared, I never thought that I would ever get to see you again”“Me too. When I heard about what was happening, I blamed myself for neglecting you, if something had happened to you, trust me when I say that I wouldn't have been able to live with myself”The older man could not hold back the tears that formed in his eyes as he embraced his daughter with a heavy heart. Daniel and Freya stood before Adrian, their eyes scanning around him with so many questions in their heart as they were reluctant to engage
