“Hey Adam, how's your daughter? Any difference now?”

Over the phone, his friend and ally who had joined in the raid was asking Adam, sitting by the end of her bed with his hand on his face, Adam let out a deep breath before shaking his head slowly,

“Not yet, not for now”

“I'm sorry to hear that man, we all here hoping she gets better, do let me know if there's anything I can do.”

Tearing up, Adam removed his hands from his face and placed them on his chest, before solemnly nodding,

“Thank you, Miles, I appreciate”

“Anytime brother” was Miles’s reply, before the line went dead.

Sighing, Adam adjusted himself at the foot of her bed as he looked upon his child, lying on the bed in the room he had specially curated for her with the help of one of the best interior decorators in town. He couldn't take his eyes off her as he stared at her,

His daughter had not opened her eyes since they had rescued her, her skin was still completely pale and her body unmoving, the only indication tha

    Mr Nasty as Adrien had referred to him, was a man named Curtis Hills, the president of Hills Group, and an arrogant and mean man. It was said that his family were tied to the mafia world, and so Curtis saw himself as untouchable, and one who could get away with anything. He was currently seated in one of the high restaurants in their province, berating one of their staff, “How inept can you be you fool? Do you not know how to properly serve someone?! Take this miserable thing off my sight this minute” while the waiter trembled beside him, he swept off everything from the table and splashed the glass of wine in his hand onto the waiter, causing the waiter to cower further, tears mixing with the wine that dripped down his face. Bending down, the trembling waiter tried gathering all he could before scurrying away, while he ran, Curtis yelled at the top of his lungs “I want you fired! I'm going to ensure that you no longer work here and your job is stripped off you, you inept fool”

    “Sir, I think you should ignore these two men and continue eating your meal, I'm certain the security will handle them” Leaning forward to Curtis, while smiling widely at him, Cecilia gave her unsolicited input. Curtis only gave her a ghost of a smile before continuing to glare at Adam and his companion. Both Adam and Adrien shared a glance between themselves as Cecilia began speaking after entering the midst, subtly raising their eyebrows at each other before taking their eyes away and scoffing lightly, with a smirk remaining on Adam’s lips. Keeping his hands out of his pockets, while also ignoring Cecilia and her unwanted presence, Adam faced the man he had come in search of and spoke in a relaxed and calm way, “Mr Curtis, I've been informed that you're the only one in possession of that herb. I'd like to know how much you'd want to charge to let me have it, you would be saving a life that is of utmost importance to me” While he had been speaking, Cecilia sniggered at the bac

    Everybody's eyes went wide as soon as they saw Curtis bowing, including Cecilia whose eyes were as round as saucers as she watched the extreme change in the attitude of Curtis. Was this fellow blinded, into not seeing the filth that stood in front of him, ‘One minute he was supposed to have Adam thrown out like the filthy thrash that he was, and the very next he's bowing to him?!’ Cecilia wondered to herself, as she struggled to make sense of the scenario before her, At that moment, she felt she needed to say something to help Curtis from his misplaced respect, with her brows creased together, she exclaimed in a loud voice, “Sir, are you sure you're not mistaken by bowing that to this man and calling him Master? I ask you to please take a good look at him, you are too noble to reduce yourself into bowing to him” Curtis, whose ears were already filled with Cecilia and her unrequested inputs, began to seethe inwards, but kept his mouth shut, only clenching his fist tightly.

    Although Louisa and her mother had been kicked out of the restaurant, both women hadn't left the premises. Despite the embarrassment and humiliation Cecilia had faced, she had been adamant towards Louisa, wanting to find out the outcome of Curtis' outburst and his ignorant display of respect towards the unworthy Adam, hence both women hid themselves in the car to Louisa's chagrin. Back in the restaurant, after Louisa and Cecilia had been sent out, Curtis's head and mind began reeling, he could hardly believe he was before someone like Adam, who wore the ring that he knew to be of great power, no ordinary person could be in possession of the ring, but looking at Adam he looked as ordinary as the next door guy, looking over at Adam and his demeanour, he was beginning to have his doubt. He found it quite absurd that Adam was the bearer of the ring, such an ordinary man couldn't be wearing the Maracuda Ornate so casually, Whoever wore the ring knew the power it possessed and would not l

    An advanced man of average height, dressed in an all-brown outfit who carried an air of authority around him, suddenly barged into the restaurant, despite the limp in his walk, he strode in with dignity and confidence. His eyes roaming the interior of the place as he stepped foot into it, his eyes finally landed on Curtis, who smiled in relief to see him, His saviour in the person of Sir Oscar Wilbury had come, and he couldn't help but smirk to himself, Oscar was very familiar with the story of the Maracuda ring, and its former possessor, aside from that Oscar was an artefact collector and knew quite a lot about jewellery, ornates and artefacts, so Oscar was the best person to detect the authenticity of the ring. “Over here Sir Oscar, the impostor and his friend are over here Sir" He quickly announced, trying to claim the attention of Oscar who had already seen him and was making his way towards them, Oscar barely nodded his head in response. “Where's the person you said wears the

    Curtis' face and neck flushed all over and he took in a deep breath, as he heard Adam's statement. He couldn't believe that his actions would come back and bite him in the butt, and he internally berated himself for uttering those words to Adam, he had arrogantly thought he was right and had spoken so carelessly. Now those very words were back to haunt and hunt him down, From where he stood, Adrien could see the various emotions that passed across Curtis' face and he smiled to himself, the bastard deserved the comeuppance that was coming to him. Wanting to add salt to the injury, he exclaimed loudly, “We don't have all day Curtis, people have their meals to get back to, and your delay is delaying them as well" and he winked right after his speech, Adrien ached to stick his tongue out for good effect but decided to take the mature route. Curtis' face and neck couldn't get any redder than they already were, it was already as red as cherry, anything further than that, Adrien felt the f

    "What?!” Adrien's loud voice reverberated through the room, his voice was so loud that it got a few people cowering, Curtis inclusive who immediately lowered his head, Adam couldn't believe his ears and he sought to understand Curtis better, he raised his head slightly to look at Curtis, his forehead creasing as he did, before glancing at Adrien, he raised his eyebrow at him, who shrugged in return. “What do you mean by, you do not have it?” he queried, his voice laced with anger Still on his knees, Curtis became fidgety as he swallowed the lump in his throat, he had dug his grave with his own hands, Amber couldn't stay still as she kept shuffling on her feet, time was of the essence where her father's health was concerned, Glancing over at Curtis, her face reddened as her eyes saw him, it was all because of him she was in this agitation mess, if he hadn't messed with Mr Adam, she and Mr Adam would have been headed over to her father right this minute, 'I ought to show him

    After the restaurant squabble and ignoring both women, Amber and Adam arrived at Rowland's Mansion, it looked like a castle in a fairytale and was a beautiful sight to behold. Coming over, Amber had made her driver drive faster than normal, a journey that would usually take about thirty minutes, took about fifteen to twenty minutes. As far as Amber was concerned, time wasn't on their hand so Amber tried racing against time. She quickly led Adam into the main building and straight to her father's room, where an almost lifeless man was lying on the bed, He was pale and hooked to different machines and tubes, there was a constant beeping sound in the room, getting closer Adam could tell that the man struggled to breathe despite the machines he was connected to, the man really didn't look good and was on the brink of death. Two other people were in the room but Amber and Adam took no notice of them at all as they rushed into the room, “Amber, thank goodness You're back" A young ma

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    “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
