The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER SIXTY-EIGHT
Looking at the phone in his hand, the call vibrated synching with his already trembling hand. He wouldn't dare pick up the call for his sanity. Swallowing loudly, he tossed the phone to the passenger seat beside his tie and ignited the engine of the car, reversing from the venue and cursing them as he did. Once more his phone rang and he let out a loud curse “God damn it! Not now!” he cursed out, banging his fist on the steering wheel, the car horn bleated, causing the nearby motorist to flip the bird at him before zooming off Watching the car go by, Williams shook his clenched fist at him, he was looking for a way to blow off steam and anybody could be a victim. “I cannot wait for the day I will end the bloody Adam, bring about his downfall! While I sit back and watch as his supposed contact scurry around to save him” As he spoke he cracked his neck while fixing his gaze on the road. Through gritted teeth, he swore and soliloquised to himself, of all the times he had ended u
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER SIXTY-NINE
Back at the press conference, everyone still had not gotten over the situation “That man really does have guts. To think he was posing with someone else’s invite!” “Williams Bates has always been a cunning fellow. I've known the guy for a while, he's not to be trusted” One of the conspiringly whispered, cupping both hands to her mouth "I heard he stole someone's wife after getting rid of him, and that he's currently going bankrupt" Those around her gasped and exclaimed, covering their mouths in shock as the lady nodded her head. "Karma came quickly for him then, if that news is true" Those gathered nodded their heads, while some shook it in pity. "Serves him right I must say" one other responded. The gossip had been going on for a while after Williams had been thrown out, and it wasn't going to stop anytime soon or today. Oblivious to the gossip and mumblings going on amongst the crowd, with Marcus still by his side, Adam approached the top journalist of Light Voice Press, th
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER SEVENTY
Williams's hands trembled as he glared at the newspaper reading the headlines. It wasn't just one newspaper that had carried the news of his disgrace but several, only paraphrasing the words. ‘Billionaire Bates tossed out of the exclusive event of the year’ ‘Williams Bates, CEO of Bates Company poses as another person to gain entrance into an event’ ‘Popular billionaire thrown out of exclusive event’ ‘Bankrupt Billionaire discarded like trash at the most anticipated event’ The more he read the more he fumed, sweat filling his body. Glaring at the paper in his hands, he crumpled it in anger before throwing it at the wall with force, “Fuck you!!!!!” panting, he let out a guttural scream “Fuck all of you!!! You're going to pay for this disgrace, by God you will!” he could feel the uncontrollable rage burning all over him. He had tried his best to contact a few editors in publishing houses that he knew, to avoid this scandal, going as far as offering the money he couldn't affor
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE
A few days after the event, Adam sat in his office, on the topmost floor of Raine’s conglomerate head office, the office was made of glass, and Adam could view the city from his office, he had a personal balcony of his own, even a small lounge he could use to entertain visitors, as well as a room, kitchenette and a full-on bathroom and toilet with a small walk-in closet. His desk was strewn with papers and files that needed attending to, since his takeover, he had been swamped with work and was thankful for the way his office was built, he had a feeling he would be staying back at the office for a while if he was going to meet up; he had a lot of companies under him that he had to oversee and all, so work was going to be much for him. Adrien occupied one of the seats in front of him, Adrien relaxed in the seat, almost slouching on it. Although they had important business and issues to discuss, yet Adrien sat in a relaxed manner. Adrien had him paid a visit, following the event o
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO
Anderson let out a long sigh before he responded, “The investigation has been tough, but I've begun to make headway” Adam and Adrien immediately sat up, concentrating on what Adrien had to say “As you may know, Williams Bates is currently having a terrible financial crisis and has been for a while now, taking loans to fund his lifestyle. He must have made a terrible deal that cost him that much loss…” Adam was beginning to grow impatient, he knew Williams was bankrupt and didn't care to know those details, what he needed to know was whatever progress Anderson must have made in finding Ariel. “Sincerely Anderson, I'm in no mood to find out about the bankruptcy of Bates, all I care to know is your progress on my daughter's case!” he exchanged looks with Adrien as he spoke. Anderson gave an easy nod and grinned, taking his time to respond “Patience my man, patience Sir” Adrien gazed at Anderson, examining his body language, the dude sure is a cocky one he mused, smiling light
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE
Heaving with rage and desperation, Adam’s body trembled all over after he had brought everything on his table crashing, tumbling and flying down. He couldn't wrap the thought around his head, how could someone be willing to sell an innocent child of about three years, sell that child to what benefit and to what gain? The thought was incredulous to him, but a part of him knew that it was indeed his current fucking pathetic reality. He collapsed onto the chair behind him, holding his head in both hands, he was pale as a sheet, yet his heart pumped blood while his mind raced with different thoughts; the foremost thing on his mind was discovering whoever bastard it was that had bought his child from the demented couple, but for now he could hardly find his voice, or bring himself to speak. Adrien steadily drew near to Adam, clutching the shoulder of his friend, he squeezed it lightly, he couldn't bring himself to imagine what it was that was going through Adam’s mind, nor imagine the p
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR
Adam, who had removed his hands from his head, folded his arms to his chest and leaned back on his seat causing the chair to creak a little, before shrugging, had bigger fish to fry than worry about a ridiculous bounty on his head, he could very well take care of himself if it eventually happened. “Adam is like a silent sniper, you never see him coming until he takes you out… completely” Adrien spoke up, his voice lighter while he also winked at them and then continued, “What I really wanna know is how Bates must have felt after the humiliation of that day, and then finding himself spread all over the news the next day” Anderson nodded his head in agreement and smiled, his finger wagging playfully at Adrien “Ahhh… To be a fly on that wall.” Adrien had a far-off look in his eyes while he looked at the wall “I can tell you this for free, he did try to expunge the scandal before it let out, but really couldn't” Adam spoke, a light smile on his face “One thing is for sure, after s
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE
“What do you mean?” Adrien finally found his voice and spoke up “Exactly what you heard, I'm going to give Bates an offer he can't refuse for his company, and I’ll be using someone else to make the offer. Bates wouldn't trace it to me, I'm not even a thought that would cross his mind in that regard, and that is to my advantage.” Adam sneered and winked at his friend, crossing his arms, Adrien nodded his head before leaning forward to ask, “That’s true though. Who might that be? Raul?” Adam gave a loud snort and chuckled “Raul hates the sight of that fool, in as much as it might please him to destroy Bates, he's not the one. I'm using someone I had a one-time encounter with but never forgot, from my investigations I believe the fellow has a history with Bates and would be more than willing to help out” “I hear you, but one thing comes to mind. If you do buy the company, you might end up enriching Bates’ pocket and that isn't what we want, or what do you intend to do about that?”

Chapter 1. (A glimpse into The Unrefined Jason Lee)
September 29th 2009, “W-here's where's m-my Angel?” As Jason opened his eyes, he looked around, dazed. The eyes felt too heavy to be opened, but he refused to close them. As his eyes rested on the strange man, he blinked rapidly, "W-who are y-you?” he questioned while staring intently at the man, "For now, that's not important. You'll get to know me in time, but right now, we need to leave this shack! Your life is in danger!” The strange man muttered, his eyes darting between the shack and the door. Hearing the urgency in the man's voice, chills crept down Jason's frail body, and he gulped, returning his gaze to the man, he blinked once more, "W-what do you m-mean? I'm safe here, nobody will ever think to f-find me in a shack” The strange man scoffed, and shook his head, “Boy, if only you knew”, was his curt response, and as Jason watched him, he struggled to sit up against the bare and flat mattress that lay on the floor. The more Jason stared around his surroundings

CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED & ONE
Adam was back in the basement, and he walked straight to the den of the old man, with Raul trailing behind him. He walked into the den and met the Old Man and Sage Robinson already sitting and waiting for him. They had heard the news and were waiting to congratulate him. “The man of the moment,” Dreymond called out from the corner where he was seated and Adam turned to see him and Amber seated together. Adam had not seen Amber since the other day at the coast brother’s basement and he was glad that she was recuperating. Old man Thompson stood up and walked towards Adam as they both approached each other. The old man saw the passion in his eyes and stopped. He tapped him on the shoulder and nodded his head, and everyone in the room had to do the same. That was the brotherhood way of celebration, “Weldon Adam,” The old man said and patted him on both sides of his shoulder. He was in prison with Adam, and he knew how he had fought for this moment, and he was very proud to be part of
CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED
After Adam had dropped her off, Leila walked into their home with sweaty palms, occasionally biting at her lips,She tried to keep her cool and not let her nerves get the best of her. She had already told Joan that she would be back just in time for their dad's arrival, and now, she had probably missed that. She walked into the living room gently, trying to be as silent as possible, hoping not to bump into either Joan or her father she tried to sneak in but she faltered in her steps with popping eyes to discover both of them in the sitting room discussing,“Leila.” Her dad called out gently as she walked in, with her gaze lowered and her fingers crossed at her back,“Come here, princess.” Her father said, spreading out his arms to receive her in for a hug. “I am sorry I was not here to welcome you, papa.” She whispered tearfully as she hugged her father tightly,“I know I have disappointed you; please forgive me, papa.” She said as she continued to let it rain with her tears.“I am
CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY-NINE
Seeing the expression on Mira's face, her mother quickly ran towards her and immediately grabbed the phone out of her hand, glancing at Adam before glancing at the phone, and as she did, her hands began shaking and her eyes popped out, also gasping like her daughter, “W-what. Un-unbelievable, Im-po-ssible” she kept stuttering and looking dazedly at Adam, Mira gaped at her empty hand, and back at Adam, her mouth agape. She swallowed and looked at him, “Fifty million euros, Adam?" As soon as she revealed the amount, everyone around gasped and turned their gaze at Adam, whose cheeks were turning slightly red; he nodded subtly at Mira while Leila stood staring at him unabashedly, grinning from ear to ear. Still smiling a little, Adam informed a still-stunned Mira, “One of my men will reach out to you, I'd like for you to head one of my companies. You were instrumental in my daughter's well-being as well as meeting a great woman" he cast a glance at Leila and she blushed. Madam Ruth
CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY-EIGHT
Once again Madam Ruth burst into a loud laughter, clutching her stomach as she did. Every other person watched as she laughed, Mira on the other hand gaped at Adam, unable to string any words together,A part of her was certain the reveal was true as there was something about Adam that was quite different and he didn't seem like a pauper the way her mother had made him out to be.Leila's eyes darted at Adam, and she tried holding their gaze to confirm it, but Adam wasn't looking at her; his face was almost blank, sans the little smirk she caught on his face. She found herself wondering if whatever he had to reveal was in line with what had just been revealed.Madam Ruth once again cut short her laughter and spluttered, glancing at the manager as she spoke in a disbelieving voice,“Are you blind or what? Or perhaps you hit your head on the way here," she deduced mockingly, and the man sneered at her, refraining from deeming her with a reply.The man, alongside others, ignored her, as A

“What do you mean by that?!" Leila asked, nearly shrieking as she stared at him, and in return, Adam nodded,Leila continued to gape at him, she was a mix of confusion and shock at what Adam had said, even if he hadn't elaborated on it,“W-what do you mean, Adam?" She questioned, focusing her gaze on him, Adam sighed and expelled a breath simultaneously, sitting upright on his seat, he opened his mouth to respond,“I'm the lost heir of Mar…”Before he could continue, a loud voice broke through his response, and the voice was oddly familiar,"What do you mean my payment didn't go through?! Who the bloody hell are you?! Do you even know who I am?!” The voice thundered, flying out of her seat to land a hot unexpected slap on the stunned waiter’s face,“Mother!!!" her daughter chided beside her and she turned to glare at her,“If you can't defend your mother, then stay out of my way!" Adam turned towards the direction and wasn't surprised to see a snarling Ruth with a downcast Mira stand

Leila and Ariel were in the car and saw Louisa, Cecil and the rest being taken away. at the sight of Williams, Ariel closed her eyes tightly and began to tremble; seeing him had triggered her memories, remembering all the cruel treatment she had gone through at his hands.Adam made his way to his car and met Leila and Ariel waiting and watching the entire situation, he got into the car and pulled them in for a hug, this was the moment he had been working and waiting for, it was finally coming to an end,“Well done Adam," Leila whispered into his ears, tears dropping down as she pulled him closer,“I am proud of you.” She said tearfully, her warm tears rolling down her cheeks slowly as she held Adam tightly in a hug; they were tears of joy and it was a special moment for them all. “Let's get out of here.” Adam nodded, cleared his throat and responded in a cheerful tone as he watched the men whisk Louisa, Cecil and co away, he smiled smugly.He started the car and drove away, with Adr
CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY-FIVE
“Are you shocked?” Adam asked Cecil as he slowly and gently began to walk closer to her. Cecil, who was now filled with fear, could only stare at Adam, at that moment, Stefan’s words began to ring in her head. ‘That man is dangerous, very very dangerous.’ She reminisced and her eyes of their own accord began to water, as she subtly shook her head from side to side, retracting her steps as Adam advanced further,He paused in his steps and turned to face the uniformed men,“These are the culprits" he informed the waiting women who glared at Cecil with death in their eyes, causing her to shiver,“They are the ones who framed me for rape.” Adam continued, pointing to William, Louisa and her mother. Cecil was speechless as she gaped with an open mouth; she couldn't believe Adam had found out about that; they had contacted a very highly profiled criminal to carry out the foul play, and she had been certain there was no way Adam would be able to get his hands on that lady.“What sort of ac
