The waiter returned swiftly with the manager in his tow, both hurrying down, sweat glistened on the manager’s forehead, the waiter who had gone to fetch him had briefed him, causing him to be scared and angry at the same time. He knew how erratic these rich ones could be, he didn't want anything that would soil their restaurant’s image. He passed by Adam without recognizing him, Adam hadn't been introduced to the staff, they only knew and spoke to Marcus and Raul. “Good day Sir, I apologise for my delay. I was caught up with work” Williams who had been awaiting this day, grinned and patted the manager’s back“Not to worry, we all understand. We just need your help in getting rid of a particular pest, that's all”With his eyes darting around the room, the manager quickly responded“Certainly Sir”Knowing he had the upper hand, Williams smiled smugly and went on“A lot of us come here to eat, not just because of the restaurant’s beauty, but because of the safety and its affluence. Mr
Williams leaned towards Adam’s ears, watching with his side eye as the security man made their way to them, grinding his teeth, he whispered into his ears, for only Adam to hear, “It wasn't a joke or a threat when I said I will end you! You're just about to see a small portion of your elimination” be sneeredAdam only smirked in return, wishing he smoked and had a cigarette on him, this would have been the perfect time to blow the smoke his way. While the argument had been ongoing, he had watched Adrien pull out his phone and make a call, not too long after, his phone had begun to ring followed by the manager’s when he had refused to pick up. Adam figured it was Adrien’s doing, and had arched his eyebrow at him subtly, Adrien in return had winked.He was grateful for Adrien’s help, he didn't want to bring out his phone while it rang, to avoid drawing suspicions and accusations to himself if he did. He knew for a fact that the manager had spoken to either Raul or his grandfather. He
Adrien Maverick was a big name in the business world, he was highly feared and respected by a lot of people, and the mention of his name commanded fear in people, because of the power he wielded, everyone wanted to be associated with him. Since growing close to Adam, he had heard his story and his history with Williams Bates, as businessmen who ran their own companies, he had come across Bates a few times at meetings and all and barely acknowledged him. The dude rubbed him the wrong way, and considering he had dirty dealings, he knew his gut was right. Disregarding the shocked stares and gape, Adrien walked confidently across the hallway, with Omar shaking his head behind him, he knew how Adrien could get“Adam my man, fancy seeing you here!” he exclaimed loudly, making sure to sound pleasantly shocked. A relaxed smile crossed his face as he walked on, his face beaming. Adam subtly scowled at him, and he smirked, winking in return. “How on earth does the Adrien Maverick know this ma
The couple left the restaurant trying to keep their heads held high to no avail, Williams didn't wait for the valet to stretch out his keys, before grabbing it out of his hand, and stomped his way to his car, Louisa behind him. Getting behind the wheel, Williams wasted no time in starting the engine of his car, “Damn bastard!” Williams yelled, as he gripped the steering wheel, causing his knuckles to go white, at intervals he slammed his fist or palm on the steering wheel, taking out all of his anger and frustrations on the inanimate object. In all of his life, he had never been humiliated the way he had been at the restaurant. Two humiliations in a day, and it all boiled down to Adam, if the bastard hadn't hit Logan, the fool wouldn't have ended up in the hospital thereby making him act like the dutiful brother-in-law. ‘I will do everything within my power to ruin that bastard! For this humiliation of today, he will pay with his blood. Taking his daughter away from him would be ch
Still waiting for Louisa’s response, she kept her eyes on her, whose face had begun to flush in intense anger, she watched as Louisa gulped loudly, clenching and unclenching her fist as she did, but was yet to supply herself and her son with an answer. “Louisa, talk to me. If your husband is still seething, at least tell us what's going on, do not leave us in the dark” glancing at Logan, for a show of support, she noticed her son bobbing his head, as he unconsciously rubbed at his sling arm“Mum is right Sis, tell us what happened so we know how to channel our energy and anger and devise a means of finishing off that bastard totally be…” “Finishing him off is all I crave! It is my sole desire.” still enraged, Williams interjected Logan’s speech, sharply turning to Logan as he spoke, Louisa’s hand on his back falling away as he did, his eyes like moltenFacing Cecila once more, his voice dripping with venom, “You want to know what that pauper, a bloody nobody of your ex-son-in-law
“It will not be ok until I personally see to the end of Adam and that blasted restaurant!” butterflies moved in Louisa’s stomach, as she sat fidgety on the bed, moving both feet awkwardly, to calm herself of the nerves, she got on her feet and approached her husband, whose left hand crossed his waist. Placing her hands on his shoulders, she turned him around to face her and smiled maliciously “What's the plan in bringing them all down my more than capable husband?” standing on tiptoes, she placed a sloppy kiss on his lips, hugging his body to hers. She could feel his member awake and smirked, coyly glancing down, she licked her lips in anticipation and whispered into his ears “Later tonight, my mastermind evil genius husband” licking his ears in a promise for later. “How are we taking them all down hubby?” she winked. Dazed, Williams shook his head to get out of his little reverie, a scowl once again taking residence on his face. “First off, I need to find out a few things from my
Two days after the restaurant incident, and finally over Adrien’s teasing, and to his chagrin and surprise, Raul as well, Adam had decided to come see Louisa’s old man, he hadn't seen him since he got out of prison.He leaned back on the tattered chair as he surveyed the room he was currently in, the living room was quite bare, safe for a few furniture and a small TV, as well as a worn-out fan that creaked each time it moved.He couldn't believe the living conditions of Gerald Martins, aka Jerry, now that his daughter was in money, and with Williams flaunting his wealth in their faces by helping them out, he wondered why Jerry’s case was different.Jerry had gone in a while ago, giving Adam ample time to glance around the apartment, he soon heard Jerry’s footsteps and straightened himself up in his seat.“Adam my boy! It's so good to have you here, such a pleasant surprise” Jerry exclaimed as he came to join Adam in the living room, looking at him, the man looked frail, ‘wasn't he bei
Adam on the other hand just smirked and leaned back in his seat. He knew Jerry would appreciate the gift and the thought, having worked as a bartender in his early days, and being somewhat of a connoisseur of drinksHe smiled at Jerry who was still gaping at him, and nodded his head, Jerry bent his head once more to glance at the package he held in his hand, turning it around lightly to peruse it. Smiling widely, he lifted his head once more and looked at Adam, his eyes darting between Adam and the package, causing Adam to giggle“Is this what I think it is?”With a broad grin on his face, Adam bobbed his head, his eyes twinklingGaping at the bottle, he was at a loss for words and began stammering“Hh-how di-d y-you get this?”Adam chortled lightly, Jerry had reacted the way he had thought he would, the man knew and appreciated drinks, and in his former life, he would have made a good connoisseur. The drink had cost him almost a fortune and had been hard to come by, but seeing Jerry’
