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

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 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,

A knock came through the door Eva stepped in with large amounts of files in her hand.“Good day, sir. You do not look alright, is everything okay?”“I am fine. How is Adrian's project coming up?”“The first stage of the project is over and I think that they are now in the trial stage”“The trial stage, how is that possible, they only started a week ago?”“The board keeps approving all the funds that he asked for the project, so it was easy for him to push the production team into hastening it?”“We do not know yet because it is still in the trial stage, I think that we should be able to find out more about its results by next week” Eva explained as she paused, her eyes piercing at her boss with concern and yet his gaze was fixed o

    Once Avery had relaxed a little bit, she turned to Adrian, he had a blank expression on his face and it was difficult for her to tell what he was thinking at that moment.“I am sorry about these Adrain”“It is alright, it is not your fault”“It is, if not for me, he would not have shown up right here. I will speak to my Dad about this and make sure that he does not act in such manners again”“Are you not getting back with him?” Adrian asked and there was a bit of excitement inside of her although she could not tell what to make out of his question if it meant that he was interested in her or not.“No Adrian, there is nothing anyone can say that will make me get back with him again”“But you do know that the business relationship your family has with them is based on the marriage proposal, things might not go so well for the Woods Corporation if you end things like that”“If we can't do business with them, then we are going to find something else to do, perhaps a company stronger than

    Avery had just got out of the shower. They had all been in the basement for two hours now; she was suddenly starting to develop a fever and decided to have a cold bath, hoping that it might ease things off for her.“How are you feeling?” Adrian asked, he stood right behind her, his hand wrapped around her all the way to her belly, gently caressing it, but instead of a response, Avery let out a long and frustrating sigh.“I know that it is not easy for you, you have been forced to go through a lot, especially with the pregnancy, but I believe that soon, all of this will be over”“That is what you want to believe, but you and I know that it is not true. I am so exhausted, Adrian, and it is starting to wear me out; I just want all of this to be over. Even with being here, I am so scared that it feels like I am losing my senses!”She yelled, her voice was at its edge. Adrian knew how badly she was feeling, he wanted to try and get her to calm down, but he also knew that it wasn't going to

    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

    Jason opened his eyes as he felt his head banging with pain. 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
