Without a moment of hesitation, she lifted her hand to land a hot slap on Adam’s face; she had gathered momentum for this and braced herself up. Her hand didn't touch Adam’s face, as it stood midair

Adam had grabbed her wrist and was gripping it tightly, Cecilia began sweating

“Is something wrong with you!? Release my mother's hand this instant you mad dog!”

“You're going to pay for this, you bastard”

Adam paid no heed to their shouts and rants, as he held on to the hand, immobilising her. He enjoyed seeing the flickers of emotion that passed through Cecilia’s eyes, wherein he read fear, confusion, contempt and dread, he loved that one most. He could feel Louisa’s fickle attempts to drag his hand down, but it had no effect on him, it was like the hands of an inexperienced child, trying to drag the hands of an adult.

Bending his head, he narrowingly fixed his gaze on a sweating Cecilia, grinding his teeth as he spoke,

    Adam kept staring at Cecilia blankly, without saying a word in response to her daughter's yapping. Adam’s demeanour made Louisa reflect on Williams’ remark of a few nights ago; causing her to wonder if he might have had some sort of backing. He had surely grown some balls from the Adam she once knew. The former Adam wouldn't have dared to threaten her mother. Cecilia on the other hand could not understand what was going on, and it infuriated her that Adam wasn't cowering on his feet as he ought to, rather he stood unmoving and unflinching She was going to let him have the last words, she wouldn't give him that satisfaction. Staring back at him intensely, without blinking her eyes, she held her chin high up and spoke in a steady voice that belied the turmoil she was feeling within, “I would like to see you try. If you think the issue with your family was child’s play, what I have in store for you would make you rethink!” She didn't have anything in store for him, but there was no n

    “Adam is my guest, and I do not answer to any of you. What is it you say that he has done?” he asked Cecilia while raising his eyebrow Cecilia on the other hand, ignored him and kept massaging her hand“This idiot right here had the guts to place his stinking hand on my dearest mother! That is what he did, yet you stand there and defend him. So pitiful father!”Logan who had been cowering silently at a corner finally spoke up, frowning at Adam, and wishing for his pound of flesh. Adam silently shook his head, Logan was the least fish to fry, the least of his worries. “Well if that's the case, I'm certain Adam had his reasons, the Adam I know isn't prone to violence or lashing out. Cecilia most probably deserved it, with her inability to filter her mouth and thoughts” All three Martins looked incredulously at him, and gasped; their mouths wide open. Adam on the other hand was finding it hard not to laugh out, especially with the expressions on their faces. Jerry had never failed to h

    The thug raised his head to glare at the speaker, his face tightened just as his lips pressed together, narrowing his eyes, he sneered at Adam“What the heck are you, and what gives you the right to interfere!?” Adam’s eyes twinkled with mischief, and he gave a bemused smile before struggling his shoulders in response“I'm an advocate against bullying of any sort. The people you are picking on are clearly outnumbered by you” while he spoke, he saw the burly man signal to his men, and from his peripheral view Adam could see them stealthy approaching, their weapons raised; ready to attack and braced himself for what they felt was an onslaught. Legs apart with his hands still behind him, Adam raises his eyebrow at the leader and clears his throat “I'll give you all but five seconds to clear yourself and your goons from this area” Adam calmly urged The leader guffawed loudly, raised his eyebrows while bending his head to one side, and in a mocking tone, “Or what?...” he eyed the lengt

    Meanwhile, back in Jerry’s house, Cecilia sat with her nose in the air, a snide look on her face, her lips curled in hate and disgust as she glared at her ex-husband and simultaneously glanced around the room. She would forever be grateful that she left and divorced the pauper of an ex-husband who seemed to lack foresight and had the effrontery to insult her in the presence of the useless Adam. Louisa sat gingerly on the threadbare couch, subtly perusing the room and berating herself for coming. Seeing Adam here had ruffled her feathers, catching her off guard. She couldn't get over his last threat to her, what did he mean by his statement, “Wherever it is that you have my daughter hidden, I will unearth it, and when I'm done, I'll be coming for you” she involuntarily shuddered at the thought, if Williams had been around, he would have known what to say and how to reply to him. She had to find out why the stupid man had come by, and what he wanted. Her father wouldn't let Williams

    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,

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. 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

    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!"

    “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
