Williams sat in his office, a twinkle in his eyes as he leaned back in his office chair, a relaxed smile crossing his face. The day was turning out to be a good day for him, and he sighed in satisfaction at the thought. After his public humiliation once again at Frank’s restaurant, he received a mail a few days later, the person who had sent the mail had offered to invest in his company and help build it back. Apparently, the man had seen the disgrace and wanted to help out, he had Adam to thank for that. They had been communicating via emails and calls since then, the man sought to invest a whooping five billion into his company, and at the thought of the money, Williams's chest puffed out. He was back in business, and his finances were beginning to look up and he couldn't wait for the man to send the first part of the money. Per their agreement, Williams would remain the acting CEO, only known to him and Mr Dulaney, his investor. He had the man checked out, and Mr Dulaney was
At Raine’s mansion, all of Adam’s family were gathered in the living room area of the house, and Adam couldn't help but be thankful, looking at each of them, only one person was missing in the mix and she would complete them soon. Over the last few months, his adopted family had grown close to his grandfather and Raul, and Adam was grateful to Marcus for embracing them and leaving his doors open to them. Hector, his father, was seated beside his grandfather deeply engrossed in a conversation, the glass of whiskey they held in their hands hadn't been downed for a while. He couldn't help the smile that escaped his lips as he watched Hector, he had sure come a long way from the badly beaten up and head-wrapped man he had come back home to meet. Seated in front of him was a robust man who was full of life, and now had a twinkle in his eyes, Hector’s worries had greatly reduced, the load off his shoulders, therefore he had begun to look way younger than his years. Glancing around t
With his phone on his lap, Adam used his free hand to continuously rub through his face and hair. Getting to his feet, he began pacing the ground, they were so close but he didn't want to mess this up, one wrong move and it could all blow up into flames, the thought alone had his heart racing, he couldn't afford any mistakes. “Adam? Are you there? I'll send you the address shortly, but I'm still hanging around the area. I gotta be careful here too, we are dealing with ruthless and terrible people. We can't afford to fail” Adam’s silence over the phone had Anderson a little worried, yet he kept up with the conversation. "I have an intel that says it best to do this soon. I think you should involve the force in this, and inform the police as well. Handling them alone isn't ideal" With his eyes closed, Adam pinched his nose bridge not saying anything, his head and mind racing with different thoughts. Even if he could single-handedly handle a whole army, he still needed to tread with
Over fifty men hovered around Adam, brandishing different weapons including guns such as rifles, shotguns and other weapons like clubs, machetes etc. Adrien, Miles and the other guys who had come with them were battling a separate set of armed men right outside. The overwhelming number of armed men they had met was quite alarming, it was as though they had been expecting them and had gotten reinforcement. One thing was for sure, Adam wasn't going to move an inch until he had recovered his child, “Just to let you all idiots know, I am not leaving here without my child. If you all have to die, then so be it” he declared loudly, with his legs spread apart and his hands folded behind him. The men stared at him in disbelief, before they all broke into laughter, guffawing and cackling loudly, “You are quite the joker, you and everybody else will leave here in a body bag, or better still we, maybe well make sure there's no trace left and burn your sorry bodies!” One of them who looked
But as the leader prepared to pull the trigger, Adam made his move. He lunged at the leader, knocking the gun out of his hands with a swift kick, and in a flash stumped on the gun with his other foot, attempting to render the weapon useless.The leader was aghast, this man was definitely something else, He started breaking out into cold sweat, but it was too early to do so, as Adam had just begun with him and his men, by the time he had dealt his lethal blows and punches to him and his men, he would break into what was worse off than sweat. Adam bent and retrieved the gun from underneath his foot. Picking it up, he aimed it at the man and clicked his tongue, “You were saying?” Without waiting for a reply, Adam grabbed the leader by his shoulder and used the gun butt to crack his shoulder blades, the breaking of bones noise ringing clear in the air, “Ahhhh” The man cried out in pain, with tears stinging his eyes, he sucked on his teeth to stop from crying out loud due to the pai
Eyes unblinking, Adam looked at the man with intense eyes, tilting his head to the corner he raised his eyebrows before finally opening his mouth to speak, “Are there any other men waiting to ambush me when I finally get there?” He asked as he grinned at the man, his eyes not leaving him, the man whose face was ashen, with blood still dripping from his face promptly shook his head, and with his lips and chin trembling as he replied, “No Master, there's no one there and I'm the only one with the code.” Adam nodded his head, raising his eyebrows once more, he questioned the man, “Any other thing I need to know before I proceed, say like a timed bomb or any trick” The leader firmly shook his head “None at all Master. We didn't think we would need such as we were sure you wouldn't be able to get there” once again Adam nodded his head and turned his gaze away from the still trembling leader and, turning to walk towards the exit, As though he forgot something, Adam turned back a
“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”
