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,
Kelvin could barely get any sleep all through the night, he could not stop thinking about how Adrian had walked out of the burning car. He stood at his favorite spot in his office staring at the view from his office, his eyes were red from excessive smoke. 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
At night, Avery felt like she wanted something different this time around, perphaps there was a always that she could steer up her relationship with Adrian, so she insisted that they went to a club instead of the usual formal restaurant.As they both stepped into the buzzing club, Adrian was feeling awkward and disturbed because he had never been to a place like this, and considering that he was feeling the mixture of aura of several people around here.“Are you alright?” Avery asked, seeing how tensed he looked.“I am fine, it is just that, I have never been to such a noisy place like this, and in a place like this, it is hard for me to concentrate”“Concentrate, why would you need to do that, you should be having fun”“I told you Avery that I needed to connect to your holy light, when you suggested that we go out, I thought that we were going to be going to somewhere more private and quiet”“You do not have to be so serious at all times. What do you even do with all these powers tha
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
By midnight, Kelvin was at the beach the next day like he had been instructed to do. Getting any sleep was not an easy job for him, the thought of the things that he would finally be able to achieve with this power that he was about to get clouded his mind.The next day, things went through smoothly for Kelvin at the office, he was awkwardly in a good mood compared to how he had been since Adrian started work there and most especially, his projects went well.For him, that was proof that he was destined the acquire whatever power this was as he did not care about the source, all he was concerned about was becoming more powerful than Adrian could ever be.Kelvin stood at the Beach and this time, he was not impatient like yesterday after his encounter with Jason because he was certain that he would come.A car drove to the beach, the whole place was empty at this time of the night and he knew that it had to be Jason, but it was two strange men dressed in a black suit and their eyes full
