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
Freya hurriedly found herself a seat where she immediately grabbed a glass of champagne, her eyes staring at the beautiful view around. The runway was yet to start and most of the guests were so busy mingling with each other, Freya on the other hand had a client she was hoping would show up but since he wasn't here yet, she decided to relax and watch the beautiful view.“I can't believe that fate is indeed on my side” a deep male voice standing behind Freya expressed, she swirled her head in his direction and was surprised to see that it was the same man she had met at the supermarket earlier today.“Jason?” she called out and as soon as she did, she regretted it because he could see that she remembered his name.“Yes. It is me in the flesh, from the way you recalled my name, looks like I have not been the only one doing all the thinking right?”“I did not remember your name because I was thinking about you, I am a statistic manager and I am always faced with remembering all the numbe
The smile on Avery's face faded at the sight of Seth. Freya knew that this was not a discussion that she wanted to be around, so she quickly got on her feet.“I will see you later Avery, there are some clients that I would like to say hello to!” She winches an eye at Avery and hurries away from the table while Seth immediately occupies the seat that she was previously seated in. “Avery Hi!”“Seth, I had no idea that you were invited to this party”“The Maxton group is the biggest investor of her brand, there is no way that we wouldn't be invited!” He bragged and that was a part of him that she had totally forgotten all about.“I see… you can enjoy the party, I still have a few friends that I need to mingle with” She tried to get on her feet, but his hands immediately grabbed her by her arms, his eyes tender with sympathy.“Listen to me, Avery i know that I messed up pretty badly, but please am I that bad that you can no longer stand the sight of me?”“Why won't I be able to stand the
Jason was at the show, and even while it seemed like he was there for the show, his eyes were fixed on Avery and Adrian when a message immediately came through his phone. He briefly glanced at the screen of his phone before calmly hurrying outside the hall so that everyone was engrossed in the show and no one would even notice that he was gone.In a red Porsche car, Kelvin was seated at the driver's side of the car. He was just about to leave after work when Eva informed him about the contract with the Maxton group that Daniel was trying so hard for his son to get hoping that it was going to get his son more scores around the board.He immediately left the office and with his telepathic skills, Kelvin could tell just where Jason was at the moment so he drove right to the runway venue when he arrived there, he remained inside the car and texted Jaso, because the last thing that he wanted was bumping into Adrian or his sister.It did not take long for Jason to arrive there, he opened th
