The door clicks open as Eva steps in accompanied by a younger boy who seems amazed by everything around the office as his eyes keep scanning around.“Sir. Is there anything else that you are going to need?”Eva asked, there were so many questions still going on in her mind, she could tell that her boss had changed, he looked darker than he used to be.“Did anyone see you come in?” He asked in a very dark tone, his eyes staring deeply at the homeless boy like a predator that had just set his eyes upon prey.“No Sir, I was careful just like you asked”“Shut the door” he instructed and as soon as she did, Kelvin walked over to the homeless boy, his eyes had turned red and were glowing with fury.“Sir….. Sir… what is going on with your eyes, they are red” Eva strutter as she stared at him with astonishment, the homeless boy who was excited at first at his arrival at such a luxurious place was immediately trembling in fear.Seeing Kelvin making his way closer to him, he tried to run away bu
Adrian stormed back into the office, as much as he tried not to look angry, he was fuming with rage. Kelly had noticed the change in his mood and followed him inside.“How did the meeting go?”“It did not go too well!” H responded coldly.“That is not possible! We made sure that everything was in order, what happened?”“I can't answer all of your questions right now, how about you head over to the production team and get me another sample, I want to find out what actually happened”“Oh! Alright, Sir” She responded and although she had questions that she wanted to ask, she dashed out of there.Adrian could not stop pacing around the office while he kept thinking about what had happened that day or how it happened when a knock came through the door and it was his Dad who walked in. That was the last person Adrian wanted to see knowing what he was going to say to him.“Are you busy?” Daniel asked as he stepped in, seeing the expression on his son's face.“Not at all Dad, have a seat”“Wh
After Adrian was through discussing with his Father, he quickly got ready and was about to leave, but just then, Kelly hurried in with the bottle of cosmetics in her hand.“Sir, are you going out?”“Yes, there is something that I need to deal with”“I thought you have a meeting with the PR team today, and it is going to be in an hour”“I know, but you are going to have to explain to them that something came up and I could not be there, just keep me updated about how the meeting goes”Adrian explained as he accepted the bottle of face cream from her and carefully opened it, he supervised it for a while, and seeing that there was not a single fault with it, he was now convinced that it was Kelvin who indeed navigated the whole thing at the board meeting.He placed it on the desk and started walking away from the office while Kelly stood there trying to comprehend what was going on.Adrian hurried inside his car and Klein drove off, Klein had noticed that there was an unusual anger with
Adrian was not aware of the fact that some men were lingering around when he first arrived. Mr. Albert knew that his life was in danger and had been in seclusion for a while now, but with the presence of Adrian, he was forced to open his door despite knowing the risk involved.As both men sat and chatted, Mr. Albert was so distracted by their conversation that he was unable to detect the presence of the sniper at the rooftop opposite his until the gunshot went through and pierced right into his heart.Mr. Albert fell on the floor and when the next shot came through, he was able to dodge it but blood had spilled everywhere, Adrian who was still trying to avoid getting shot crawled over to the other side of the room where Albert clutched onto his chest and was fighting for his life.“Talk to me Master, how are you feeling?”“Adrian, you need to leave right now……” he forced out the words while gasping for breath. Adrian ignores his words as he carefully places his hand on his chest where
Adrian stared at the screen of his phone and as soon as he did, he quickly recalled that Klein had been outside all this while and there was no way of telling what had happened to him.“Hello…. Klein how is it going”“Com quick boss, I have been shot” he announced before the call finally ended. Adrian turned to Mr. Albert, still reluctant to leave him in such a dire situation.“Are you sure about these, that you are not going to come with me? The Wesley estate is safer than this mansion of yours”“Go ahead, Adrian. I can take care of myself” He assured him again and this time, Adrian nodded his head but as he reached the door, he turned around and spoke again.“If anything comes up, please call me immediately, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something were to happen to you”“Go ahead Adrian, I will” He assured him one more time, and this time, Adrian knew that he had no choice but to leave.Walking outside the apartment, he was very cautious with his movement, connecting wit
Adrian was certain that Klein had gone back home to get some rest before driving off to the boutique shop but arriving there, he was stunned to see Avery right there with Aunt Emma, they both seemed very friendly with each other and were having a glass of orange juice.“Finally! Look who decided to show up, my favorite boy” Aunt Emma called out like she was so proud of him and needed the whole world to know about that.“Avery is here, I am sure that you know her?”“Yes, Aunt, Avery and I are friends!” Adrian quickly clarified, but a cold expression still plastered on his face, Avery let her cheek burn bright red hearing Adrian introduce her as his friend.“Oh, that is good to know, I was just telling Avery here the story of how we both met and I never knew we were both related while I kept wishing that you I could get to know such a wonderful boy more”Aunt Emma would not stop bragging knowing that there were other people at the boutique, she was so proud of Adrian and if there was a
After Adrian was through checking out the suit for the event tonight with Aunt Emma satisfied about its outcome, she finally let him leave but not without making him promise that he would be at the event on time. Avery was seeing him off to his car, their movement was slow, and yet their steps were precise, each time that she was with him, although he did not show much attention to her except for the holy light, and yet she was just happy to be with him.“So you also came here to try out some dresses or is this just a women's thing?” Adrian asked as they both stood before his car.“Aunt Emma is my friend and so are her workers. I came to try out the dress that I will be wearing for the event tonight and also do some catching up with the girls there until Aunt Emma came in”“I see, she likes you a lot”“Same with you, which can only say that we have a lot in common” Avery teased and let the pretty smile curl up her lips each time she did that, he was always fascinated by her beauty.“
Mrs Smith arrived at the fashion runway show dressed in a very elegant dress. The company was finally doing well, more impressive than they had expected, especially after Mr. Smith encountered the sanctuary.She was dressed in a golden sequin gown that was screaming luxury, the dress flowed through the floor while she carefully walked in with her hands firmly clutching onto her purse, her makeup was perfectly done and this time, Mrs. Smith made certain that the jewelry were all authentic, that way she did not have to get intimidated by those rich elites again.“Your invite please!” The huge bouncer at the entrance asked and at that moment, she recalled that she had totally forgotten all about that.Mrs. Smith had not been invited to the runway show but after she heard the elites at the Club talking about it the second time that she visited the Club, Eleanor did not think for a second about how she was going to go in there, all she was interested about at the time that she heard the ne
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
