Avery froze right there, her eyes had turned red while she stared at Adrian trying to comprehend what just happened and after a while of her brain not being able to process the scene before her, she took to her heels, running towards him.She grabbed him and tucked him so hard into an embrace, crying more deeply. “Don't you dare pull such a stunt on me ever again, I thought that I had lost you, I was so scared and I could not breathe with the thought of not seeing you ever again”She cried out with her hands still wrapped around him and Adrian who could not believe he had survived this, let his hands find their way to her waist.“Thank you so much, Avery, you saved my life” He whispered into her ears while he gasped in relief, although she did not understand what he meant, she was so excited that he was alive and nothing else mattered to her.People around there could not stop taking pictures of him, calling him a hero and despite how hard Klein tried to stop them from taking any more
Claire sat next to Freya, she seemed so engrossed in her phone like whatever was going on in the living room regarding Adrian was not of interest to her when a video suddenly popped out on the screen of her phone, at first she did not seem interested in it but looking at it more closely, Claire realizes that this car looked so familiar.“Oh my God! Adria, what happened to you?” Her eyes grew so intense as she stared at the screen of her phone and it felt like her hands were almost trembling.“What is it?” Freya asked and seeing that Claire was too engrossed in the video to respond to her, she dragged the phone away from her and saw Adrian coming out of the burning car unharmed, she almost threw the phone away out of shock.“Adrian, what the hell happened to you today?” “What are you talking about?” Daniel asked and so were the rest of the family that seemed so interested Sarah pulled out her phone and stared at the screen of her phone, the video immediately popped out and so did the
Adrian stepped out of the bathroom after what felt like forever in there and was stunned to see his Dad seated on the stool in his room. He had a towel wrapped around his waist and water dripping down from his forehead so he went ahead to ignore his father and stride over to the dresser.Daniel kept his eyes fixed on the magazine on the table, although he barely read anything in it, but it was all his attempt to pass the time while waiting for his son.“Is everything alright Dad?” Adrian asked as soon as he was all dressed in his black pajamas.“Those people that sent you a warning regarding Avery, they are the same people that did this today right?”“I don't know yet, I would have to find out”“And you went out with Avery despite all of my warnings, tell me, are you seeing now?”“No, not at all. We are just friends and I am only trying to connect with the holy light which is why I keep meeting with her”“You keep meeting with her, so you are saying that this has been going on. Is thi
Emma walked over to the kitchen as she gulped in an entire glass of water. After what happened to Adrian today, the memory of her son and how she had lost him came flooding through her mind as she fiddled with her fingers.Her skin had become pale, she felt a sense of uneasiness and was making so much effort not to cry, but each time she thought that Adrian might also be in danger, it only made her more tensed that she was so engrossed in her thought and did not see Amelia walk into the kitchen.“Are you alright?” Amelia asked and she was almost startled. “Oh, mine! Amelia, you scared me!”“That is because you had your thoughts entirely somewhere else. What is going on with you Emma?”“Nothing much, I was just thinking about what happened to Adrian today. I don't know why it was easier for you all to take it very lightly, but I must say that he was so close to death and whatever that was that saved him, I am so grateful”“We all are Emma. Believe me, it was indeed a miracle and he is
Seth is seated in the large armchair in his office, his left finger cannot stop tapping on his desk while his right hand is holding onto his phone with his eyes glued to it. the air around the office seemed intensely cold.He scrolled through the news feeds and his eyes settled on the picture of Adrian, no matter how many times he had stared at it, he could not stop looking at it.As he swiveled around in his large armchair, his eyes not drifting away from his phone, his brows furrowed in concentration, he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not notice the large door swing open with Jason stepping in and he only became aware of his presence when Jason cracks his throat.“Jason! You are here, just the man that I was thinking about”“I could place a bet that you were thinking more about Adrian more than you were about me, and whatever it is you are staring at on your phone is definitely about him.“You guessed right, and I am also guessing that you have seen the trend about him
Mr. Daniel and his son sat in the waiting area at Maxton Corporation, two cups of coffee were placed on the desk, but they did not seem interested in it. Adrian on the other hand was feeling so shabby, he was not used to such a feeling and he could not fathom why it was happening to him.The door finally swung open with Seth stepped in, a professional smile on his face as he did. “Mr. Daniel Wesley, it is such a pleasure having you here”“Same here Seth, but I thought that I would be meeting with your father today?”“Yes, he was going to be here, but an urgent call came in at our branch and he had to leave, but you have absolutely nothing to worry about, I am here and whatever it is that has brought you here, I am going to make sure that you well attended to”“Oh! That is so nice of you, but I already discussed it with your father and he has our proposal, but first I would like you to meet my son Adrian Wesley”“You have a son, how is it possible that I haven't met him before?” Seth a
Outside the Smith residence, a black sedan is packed outside the house, Mr. Smith knew who it was because he had been expecting him to arrive for a while now since he was the one that called him and asked that they both meet. Seeing the car parked outside, he slowly strides over there and gets inside the car.“Good day,” Mr. Smith greeted with a stern expression on his face as he tried not to look at Jason. Jason pulled away the dark sunglasses from his eyes, that way he was able to have a clear view of the man seated next to him.“Why do you have that look on your face, did something go wrong? But I can tell that you wouldn't ask to see me this late at night if everything was fine”“Nothing at all. I called you because there was something urgent that I wanted us to discuss”“Sure, go ahead. What is this about?”“I don't think that my family and I can proceed with your deal” He slowly let out the words, hoping that he did ended up offending Jason with his words.“But you already accep
Reynold could feel his palm burning so hard as soon as he pulled away from the door, it felt like a hot iron had been pressed against his skin and even when he yanked his hand back and stared at it, expecting to see a burn mark or blister, there was no mark, no sign or readiness of any kind yet the pain persisted.The pain grew so intense, spreading up to his arms and across his chest. Reynold could no longer bear it and with sweat dripping down from his forehead, he screamed at the top of his lungs, the sound echoing off the stone walls.“Make it stop…. Please….. I beg of you, the pain is just too much and I can't bear it any longer” He cried out in deep pain that consumed his entire body.“I thought you were a man and you had made up your mind or what to do, then go ahead, why are you asking for my help”Jason responded with a calm expression on his face like he had seen this over and over again and the pain Reynold was feeling was nothing to him.“Please… I beg of you”“I told you,
