Bored out of his mind, Logan got on his feet for a while and walked the room, his eyes darting everywhere as he did. Before long, his eyes rested on the chipped table where Jerry had placed the drink Adam had given him. Logan inhaled sharply, as he picked the bottle, turning it over and over. Opening his mouth but no coherent words came out, finally gathering himself, still holding on to the bottle, he gawked at Jerry and exclaimed “Father, where did you get this drink from!? This is a Golden Cascade Scotch! There are only three bottles of this kind in the world, where did you get it from? Who gave you this prized possession!? It costs a fortune!”Jerry smirked in response, and walked towards him, subtly taking his drink off Logan’s arm when he got to him. Smiling smugly, he lifted the bottle to his face and cast a side view at Logan and the rest who “If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.”Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Cecilia clenched her teeth, narrowed her eyes at J
Arriving at the Bates Mansion, Logan, who was the driver, drove into the massive compound, and once again Louisa couldn't get over the splendour and beauty of it. With its beautiful lawn and a heated swimming pool to the west of it, as well as a tennis court. The house was indeed a beauty to behold, unlike the shack she had previously lived in with Adam. Drink in hand, she made her way to the main house and found Williams seated on his favourite seat with a faraway look on his face. “Hey Will we're back, as you would believe what happened today, who we saw” she announced as she strode in, practically holding the drink carelessly. Williams’ face flushed brightly as he welcomed them in with a smile, his eyes shining as he got to his feet “I have the best news to share, and I'm looking forward to attending it” Louisa, seeing Williams’ happy countenance, smiled happily, and tossed the drink carelessly onto a nearby settee,:"share your good news with us,darling, I'm very sure it's mu
Shrugging half-heartedly, Louisa lifted her hands loosely and spoke in a flat voice, “Who cares? I took it from my father's house, Logan was the one who found it and he claimed Adam gave it to him” she snorted disgustingly and went on, almost mumbling to herself, “as if that cheapskate can afford to buy anything for someone, not to talk more of buying a supposed expensive drink” rolling her eyes exaggeratedly she scoffed loudlyWilliams on the other hand, drew back his head quickly, taken aback. Staring at Louisa, with his mouth slightly open, his eyes kept blinking, trying to process what he had heard. He shook his head in denial, and once again looked over the bottle Louisa had handed him, his eyebrows creasing as he did. His eyes moved over the bottle, trying to figure out the trademark and signature symbol to confirm the originality of the drink, he went completely still as he discovered the subtle symbol, he subtly swallowed the lump and gasp in his throat, Squinting his eyes,
The day for the much-anticipated and most talked about event; the press conference of The Raine family finally came, the event where they were going to publicly declare their that their heir had been found and also reveal his identity to the public officially. The event that Adam and his grandfather had been preparing for, the same event that Wilkiams and all others had been gearing for and looking forward to. The hall was indeed splendid and full as well, nobody wanting to miss the greatest event. Flashlights went off repeatedly, the silence and the anticipation in the hall were tangible, and every media personnel had their pen and notepads ready. The camera crew had their cameras focused on the podium in the front, and everyone was agitating and anticipating to finally catch a glimpse of the Raine’s Heir that had been found, Marcus Raine, the owner had slated this day for the official announcement and handing over. Everyone who was of worth in the society and business world was
Mumblings had begun to occur while Marcus was giving his speech, “Is he being serious!?”“I wonder why they aren't revealing his identity”“So what exactly is the purpose of this press conference?” “You can never be too trusting, especially with these rich ones, always finding ways to flaunt their wealth,” one of them responded. What Marcus hadn't revealed and what they were unaware of, was that Adam the mysterious heir was present and was within the crowd, hearing the side talks and comments, and he couldn't help but laugh to himself. He and his grandfather had come to an understanding that Adam wasn't ready to be announced to the public, he still had his personal life to sort out. At the last minute, Marcus had agreed for Adam to remain incognito. Williams, who had been looking forward to meeting the new heir, was extremely upset after hearing Marcus’ speech. He wasn't going to meet and introduce himself after all. Bringing along the gift felt useless now that he couldn't pres
Glaring at Adam the thought of strangling him overwhelmed Williams and he swallowed roughly to push down the thought, he couldn't dare such in a public place, and his hands itched to wrap themselves around the bastard’s neck and he clenched them tightly. Adam snorted loudly and gave a long pause, before looking all around him and landing his gaze back on Williams, “Why get a rise out of a simple statement, anyway If the shoe fits…” he left his remaining words hangingWilliams's ears reddened and he shook in his shoes, he expelled an audible breath that was almost immediately cut off, taken aback“What are you trying to say you fool? Do you think I'm like you who goes into places where I'm not invited to or where I do not have a pass for!?” chagrined, Williams stomped his feet causing Adam to roll his eyes. Williams couldn't understand how Adam had gained entry into this event, one that he knew was an exclusive one. Keeping his gaze focused on Adam, he suddenly remembered the day t
Like the Red Sea, the crowd parted to let the man through. Williams went completely still at the sound of the voice; the voice sounded oddly familiar and with the authoritative tone he had spoken with, Williams had an inclination of who it might be. Still gazing at Adam, and with a smirk on the fool’s face, he figured his suspicion was right.Composing himself and his countenance, he broke eye contact with Adam, turned to face the intimidating stare of Marcus Raine, and gulped subtly. A flush appeared on his neck and he smiled nervously at Marcus, sputtering and struggling to find the right words, after all, it was the almighty Marcus Raine; the richest and most powerful man in their country,“N-no Sir” shaking his head, he replied “Yes S-sir there is”Marcus nodded at him, and looked him over, his gaze landing on the clutched item in Williams’ hand, narrowing his eyes at him “Who are you? I do not believe I know you, nor invited you here. Who are you again?” Marcus questioned in a po
Williams' face paled, struggling to maintain eye contact, as all eyes turned to Adam. A bead of sweat rolled down his neck, and he stylishly unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, despite the nerves, he wanted to wrap his hands tightly around Adam’s neck and wring away the life in him.Adam who wasn't done nailing Williams, continued in a polite yet authoritative tone, "Mr. Bates, this scotch that you've presented here today, looks awfully familiar. As we all know it's a rare product and has distinguished mark for each bottle, and are given a unique code at purchase, so please can you tell me, no please, tell us the mark and code for this particular one? It's something you ought to know, for without it you cannot have the purchase”Williams gulped and his neck was completely flushed, he closed his eyes tight muttering silently beneath his breath. Everyone began nodding their head in agreement to Adam’s words,“Thats exactly right! Sir defend yourself and product and tell us the uniqu
