Emma could not attend to all the guests who were so eager to speak to her after the show. Adrian who stood next to her was getting impatient and decided to speak.“Aunt Emma, looks like you still have a lot of guests that you need to attend to?”“Yes, dear. And I am so sorry about that. I have been away from town for such a long time that everyone was so impressed with the designs. I am happy about it but I don't know when I will be done attending to them”“I understand Aunt, do you need me to wait for you?”“Yes dear, you are the only one that I want to drop me off at home. You are the only one that I can trust to protect me, especially from competitors that might not be too happy with my come back”“You have nothing to worry about, I totally understand. I will just be in my car and I will come to check on you from time to time, is that alright”“That is better!” She felt relief as she watched him leave and now she could speak to potential investors who might be interested in investi
The light had filled the car, consuming them both. Adrian had not felt anything like this before and was enjoying every ounce of the power and how powerful it made him feel, but he was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door of the car and as he finally pulled away with the light slowly diminishing, he realizes that it was Aunt Emma and he had totally forgotten about checking up on her.But just when Adrian was about to unlock the car from Avery’s ray, his eyes met with hers, and what he saw made his heart beat so fast that he thought that his heart was going to jump out of his chest.Avery’s eyes were still shut, her head was bleeding and so was her nose, fear took hold of him while he called out to her.“Avery! AVERY!” he yelled out, but there was no response from her.“Adrian open up, what is going on here?” Aunt Emma who was getting impatient from standing outside all this while called out, but he was in a state of confusion and did not know what to do nor did he know how he w
Adrian did not realize how exhausted he was until he was alone with Avery and after staring at her for a while, he fell asleep. He was woken by the sound of a groaning next to him and when he opened his eyes, it was Avery who had her eyes opened and from the look of things, he could tell that she was in pain.“Adrian…. Where am i?”“Avery, you are in the hospital, thank God that you are finally awake. I was so worried that something might have happened to you”“My head hurts so badly, what happened?” she asked and that seemed to be a question he wasn't sure how to respond to. Adrian pulled closer to her as he held her hands.“I am sorry Avery, i never thought that connecting to you that deeply was going to have a reverse effect on you”“Is that why you look like someone who has just been hit by a train, you do not have to feel guilty about anything because it was also my fault”“Avery how can you say this, tell me how is any of these your fault?”“I wanted you to go ahead with it in t
The air grew so strong and intense that Adrian was finding it hard to hold onto anything, his hands were beginning to feel sore from consistent struggling when Annabel finally came to light.Although Adrian could tell that this was not reality, he also knew that it was not his regular dream and there was more to the struggle than he had been let on. Annabel stood right before him, the spirit of a dead girl in a doll which he brought to the Smith family when he first started his cultivation with his master Albert and after he left the Smith family, he had left it behind as it tormented the entire family.“Annabel, what are you doing here?” he asked, surprised at her presence but a loud chuckle erupted from her, it echoed through the empty walls where he stood. Adrian was trying to comprehend what was going on and yet everything was looking like a fallacy to him.“Is the Smith family right, did they send you here?”‘You speak like you think the dark power they possess can harm me or eve
Adrian arrived at the office and as soon as he did, Kelly was already there waiting for him, a smile on her face while she carefully placed a mug of coffee on the large desk in his office.“Good morning Sir, how was the event yesterday?”“It was nice”“And did you enjoy it, I mean going to such a fancy party and seeing all those people dressed in luxury dresses, was it worth it?”“I don't know Kelly, it is just a party and I do not think that it should be weighed on the fact that it is fancy or not or whether it was worth it, it is just a party and that is all that there is to it”He explained and even while he did, she still had a smile plastered on her face, her full lips spread out wide and all she was feeling for this right here was nothing but admiration.“If there is nothing else, Kelly, you can stop smiling and get back to work”“Oh, I am sorry I almost got carried away. I spoke to the secretary of the president of Evaton group?”“How did it go, have you been able to secure a m
Avery felt like her heart was choking with pain, even when Seth had broken their engagement right before everyone, she did not feel this bad and yet she felt so betrayed by a boy who wasn't her boyfriend yet.“Avery please wait!!”Adrian called out to her, he was trying to comprehend what was going on and even in his head, it felt so wrong to him.“I am sorry Adrian, I am not feeling too well and will have to leave right now”“I am sorry that you had to see that just now, I am fully aware that it is inappropriate, and believe me when I say that I do not know what came over Kelly today”“What! Is this the apology that you dare give to me?”“What are you talking about here?”“So you are only apologizing because you feel it is inappropriate and not because you think that I would feel hurt and betrayed?” she asked as he drew backward, he was confused and was trying to put her words together.“What are you talking about, we are just friends, why should you feel betrayed? Avery, I never prom
Adrian hurried upstairs the receptionist was surprised at his audacity to just walk into the company and when he had just been denied attention, he was ready to go to any length to get what he wanted even at the risk of getting arrested.“Sir! What do you think that you are doing, you have to stop right now else I might be forced to call the security on you!”She yelled at the top of her voice, she was indeed furious at his action, and when she tried to make a move, his men held her down and wouldn't let her move.“Do you understand what this means? You can go ahead and do whatever you wish, but I am not letting this go that easily, I promise you that I am going to file a lawsuit against you and your entire company!”She threatened, but her words did not seem to mean so much to them. Adrian slammed the door open as Mr. Evaton jerked up from his seat at the sight of Adrian.“What the hell, who are you and how dare you banched into my office” he yelled with his jaws tightened as he pick
Both men stood still staring at each other for a moment, Adrian knew that he got the fish right in the hook while Mr. Evaton was faced with the dilemma of whether he could trust Adrian who seemed so young with such a huge deal that held the future of his company. But then again, he knew that the secret Adrian held was something that he should be cautious about and yet this was a game he did not want to play.“What is it going to be Mr. Evaton, we are both busy men and don't have all time”“I am going to have to see your proposal first”“My proposal was the first offer, but now it is off the table, you sound like you have much of a choice. I need you to give me your final answer, are you handing over the construction contract of City View to Wesley Corporation or not?”Adrian asked, there was this intense persuasion in his eyes that gave out the fact that he was dangerous, this was their first meeting and yet Mr. Evaton knew that he should be afraid of him.“Fine. Ask your architecture
