2024-10-29 19:42:56"You!?"
Madame Cecil was shocked to see Adam, especially right on their ground, she hurriedly hid and replaced the shock, and with eyes filled with contempt, she glared at Adam, her voice was laced with malice and hatred as she continually glared at Adam, wishing him into oblivion
"What are you doing here, and how did you get this place, you bloody riff-raff!? Who let you in!?" she glanced at the security who had his hands raised
"I haven't let him in Ma'am, I was just about to kick him out before your arrival Madam." the security swiftly defended himself as he also glared at Adam.
Adam on the other hand couldn't believe his eyes, he didn't think his mother-in-law would be the one to greet him. He was well aware that she hated his guts and always felt like Louisa could have chosen better as she was a beauty. He knew she didn't see him as fit or worthy to be referred to as her son-in-law. In all of the confusion, Adam had yet to speak nor defend himself
"See as he stares like the lost stray dog that he is. I ask again, what do you want here? Your likes aren't needed here!"
Facing the security, she commanded him
"Hey, go release the dogs, let them have a feast with their kind who happens to be a stray one"
The security man's eyes widened but he hurried to happily do as he was instructed
"Right away Ma'am, I'm sure the dogs will have a feast with him" was his response as he jogged over to release the dogs.
Madam Doris once again faced Adam
"Oohh, the dogs are going to have a filled day with you worthless lowlife. I wonder how you got away from prison, I'm sure you must have escaped, there's no way you would have been released" Glaring contemptuously at him, she sniggered behind her palms at Adam's outfit.
"He couldn't even afford a change of clothes, little wonder how you would when you have no penny to your name. Look around you Adam, is this place the sort of place you could dream to afford? I'm not even sure you would see such in your dreams you penniless and impoverished bastard" she sneered at Adam.
"I'm not here to cause trouble, Mother… "
"Go find your mother in the dungeon you bloody fool. How dare you refer to me as your mother!? I have no worthless and penniless child. Trouble follows you everywhere you go, you disgusting lowlife prick, but I can assure you that you wouldn't even dare to cause trouble out here because after the dogs must have been done with you, I'll make sure your carcass is thrown into the dungeon where it rightfully belongs and where you clearly escaped from!"
Madam Cecil cut Adam short, as he struggled to explain.
Adam on the other hand visibly swallowed and sighed. He had hoped not to encounter Madam Cecil, but it was apparent that fate had other plans, he just wanted to know the whereabouts of his family, and he therefore soldiered on with his requests
"I'm sorry Ma'am. I'm only here seeking my wife and my child" he lowered his voice and eyes in response
"You have no child here you fool, and you most definitely don't have a wife here or anywhere else! Look around you, look around you I say, is this the kind of place you left your supposed wife in? So what gives you the temerity to think that your wife is here?" she asked him as she air-quoted her last statement.
Without waiting for Adam to reply, she continued lamenting to herself.
"I fail to understand what my child saw in you that prompted her to get with such a worthless pig. Someone clearly from the gutters, with no manners or anything to his name. I clearly did raise her better!"
Adam felt uncomfortable as she continued berating him, her eyes sending daggers towards him.
Adam's ears picked up the barking and growling of dogs from afar, he figured the security man had gone on to release the dogs per Madam Cecil's instruction. He wasn't fazed by the new development, he just needed to know the whereabouts of his wife and child, and this was an information Madam Cecil surely did have.
The taxi driver, on the other hand, had become increasingly impatient and angered as Adam had wasted his time. On bringing his passenger to this address, he had thought he would get paid and dismissed here but all to no avail, and to make matters worse, it seemed like the passenger wasn't being granted entrance to the mansion he had brought him to.
Angrily, he opened his car door and stepped out of the car, heading towards Adam to demand his payment so he could leave. He was done with this ruse.
"Hey Mister!! Where's my money!? Give me my money so I can be out of here!" he angrily called out to Adam as he approached him. Adam turned to the direction of the voice, and lightly chided himself within, in all of the drama, he had totally forgotten about the driver who had brought him here.
Suddenly scratching his hair in anticipation of the looming embarrassment, as he had no money on him and Raul had yet to get across to him
"Erhm, can you please wait a little longer? You'll have your money shortly" he pleadingly replied to the taxi man, his voice filled with remorse.
Putting a finger into his ear, the taxi man made to clean his ears as he glowered at Adam with a look of disgust
"I'm not sure I heard you clearly mister! I want my money, and I want it now. Enough of this ruse and game! My business isn't for your games, I have mouths to feed just so you know"
"I really apologize for the inconvenience once again Sir, but if you can just be a little patient, I'll get your money across to you. I'm not with any money right now"
Adam felt downcast and helpless, this wasn't how he hoped this day would be. It was supposed to be a day of rejoicing and reuniting for him, but it was turning out to be an accursed day.
The driver on the other hand had heard enough, and was suddenly maddened, how dare this man try to play a fast one on him, he vowed within himself to make him pay, and make a scapegoat out of him. Enraged, he approached Adam and dragged his trousers, holding onto it
"You are sordidly mistaken if you think I will wait an extra minute before I get my money. I should have known you would have nothing on you considering the gutters I picked you from. You thought you could feign calls and get me deceived!? Well joke on you mister, I'm done playing your games! I want my money and I want it now!" the taxi driver bellowed as he held on to the trousers.
Madam Cecil who had been watching the fracas, couldn't hold in her laughter and disgust. She was pleasantly happy with the embarrassment Adam was currently facing, she had even noticed some passersby slowly stop their walks to see what the commotion was about.
As far as she was concerned, the embarrassment wasn't enough, considering the life of poverty he had put her darling daughter through, and she clamoured for more within herself.
Facing the taxi driver, through the bars of her golden-crusted gate, she called out to him
"Hey, Mister! Do you realise that this is private property, and you are constituting a nuisance right here? If you have a bone to pick with the wretched man, I suggest you take it far away from here"
The taxi driver quietly glanced at her, seeing her appearance he concluded that she must be a lady of substance and worth, and he politely responded to her
"I'm so sorry Ma'am. It wasn't my intention, but this despicable fellow right here wants to have me deceived. He has had me on a merry-go-round all day and has refused to pay me what he owes me. I only seek to collect what's owed me, Madam"
Madam Cecil, couldn't contain herself anymore as she chortled in bitter laughter. She aimed to add coals of fire to the already burning matter
"How did you possibly think that this miserable tattered-looking fellow would have anything or even money to offer you? Haven't you seen how he looks? Can you not even smell the stench emanating from his body?"
"I was a fool, Madam, he deceived me by making glamorous calls which I now believe to be nothing but fake calls. I should have known better" the taxi driver responded to Madam Cecil, pained regret evident in his voice.
For a split second, she almost felt sorry for the taxi driver but she dismissed it. Such fools had no place for pity in her heart, besides pity was a word foreign to her.
In response, she guffawed loudly, she was enjoying this way too much. She noticed that more people had gathered and some had completely stopped their walk, she liked the growing audience; the more to crush Adam with.

You clearly are a fool. They say looks can be deceiving, but I fail to notice what in god's name must have had you deceived with this tattered and unkempt looking fool. Surely Sir, you are indeed a fool."The taxi driver had yet to free Adam from his tight grasp, he felt utterly berated by the older lady but couldn't counter her, as she was right. He felt like a fool and vowed to take out his anger on the miscreant he was currently holding. From the corner of his eyes, the taxi driver watched as a shiny white sedan pulled up on the driveway, and the drinker honked at the gate. The windows were tinted, so no one had yet to see the occupant of the classy ride. Cecil on seeing the car was giddy inside, another person who hated the very sight of Adam had arrived, and she was sure that he'd happily join in the goading and tormenting of Adam, she watched as the gates slid open automatically, the car was moving in until it suddenly stopped and parked by Adam and the taxi man. As the car d

In an instant, the growling and barking of dogs suddenly filled the air, Cecil found herself rejoicing as the dogs were also going to add to the total humiliation and destruction of Adam. "Finally!! I wonder what took the foolish security to round up those dogs." turning to face the direction of the barks, she declared at the top of her voice, to continuously draw in the attention of the growing crowd. "Whoa, the poor man is about to get bitten and chewed as dinner by those dogs, they do sound hungry""I'm going to be here to watch it all playdown. I'm not moving an inch from here" The crowd murmured amongst themselves, all in anticipation of what their eyes were about to feast on. Some of them couldn't wait to get home and relay the events of the day to their loved ones. The security guard finally appeared with another security man, both of them grappling to contain five leashed dogs who were struggling to be free of their leash. The dogs ranging from dobermans to pit bulls and a

Adam wasted no time in heading to the address, although a part of him wondered if he was being set up, due to how fast Logan had changed his mind and given him the location of Louisa. He found himself wishing Ariel would be with her, his arms ached to carry her and feel her. He walked briskly as he tried to locate the area. Thanks to Cecil and Logan he had no means of transportation anymore nor a way to contact Raul. Raul surely must have been searching for him, he hoped that against all odds, Raul would prove himself competent and find him.As Adam walked by the side of the road, he failed to notice a loose thorn in a shrub, seeking to devour its victim, at the last minute, he unfortunately noticed it just as the thorn tore through his trousers and into his flesh"Fuck! Bloody hell. Can this day get any worse" he profanely cursed at the thorn, while trying to soothe the throbbing pain that ran down his calf to his ankle. Ignoring the pain in his legs, Adam limped on slightly as bl

"I'm sorry Sir for disturbing the serenity of our establishment, but this poor and tattered-looking man thinks he can waltz in, with an air of arrogance into our restaurant and get away with it. Last I checked Sir, this is a reputable place for only the elites and he sure doesn't look nor dress like an elite to me Sir" Adam could feel the gaze of the man who he assumed to be the manager appraising him, he stole a glance at the man's face, the manager's expression was like that of someone who had sucked on an unripened lemon, his face was so sour. The manager neared him, standing at a mere 5"12, he tried to intimidate Adam, 'If only these people knew who he had become' Adam kept his thoughts to himself, there wasn't any need proving himself to these ones, they were hell-bent on judging this book by its covers. "Sir, you know that you cannot afford to buy a cheap meal for yourself, as such, you most definitely cannot afford to even buy a plate of our cheapest meal or even a glass o

Williams had never been this humiliated and embarrassed in his life, gritting his teeth he faced Adam and said in a slow poisonous voice, "You'll regret this, sending you to prison was child's play. When I'm done with you, you'd wish you never escaped from prison!" William's demeanour changed, his gaze taking an evil smirk, he signalled to his guards to beat up Adam without showing him mercy. Suddenly, six hefty men came out and advanced towards Adam and assembled before him to deal with him. They all charged towards him at the same time. Skilfully and deftly, Adam dodged their punches while he delivered lethal punches to their body, targeting the places that would immobilise them. In a flash, all six guards were flat on their faces, writhing in pain. Adam had managed to defeat all of them without being bruised at all. Everywhere became quiet, as everyone looked dazed, everybody was dumbfounded. Adam didn't have a scratch on him, yet six trained men were laying on the floor

Without awaiting his response, the distinguished man bowed down to the fellow he had just been about to drag, and he found himself confused. "Erhm, I'm certain there's a mixup somewhere, did you take a look at the man you're bowing to, and did you have a good look in the mirror at yourself before you stepped out?" a man from the crowd stepped forward while asking his question. The former ignored him as he focused on Adam. Adam had hoped for Raul to not create a scene with his excessive display of respect he had come to manage, he had tried to no avail to catch his eyes as he neared, in order to give him a signal. He surely didn't want Louisa to know that his status had changed for the better. As far as he was concerned, it was good riddance. Williams and Louisa stared at the scene in confusion and obvious security, it was obvious that this man was blind. Stepping forward, Williams touched the arm of the man, and immediately had it yanked off by one of his guards present. Williams s

Adam immediately saw red and was enraged, keeping himself in check he deeply inhaled and exhaled as he approached her, staring at her right in the face, he instantly read fear in her eyes though she tried her best to mask it. He chuckled within himself if only she knew better "Louisa, if that's the case then let it be known that I'm challenging you. You wouldn't like to know the stuff I am capable of, as you very well know, I just came out of prison, you do not want to know the things I've come to learn in such a dangerous place, Do not test me Louisa Martins!" he declared while simultaneously glaring at Williams to pass his message across. Louisa shuddered in fear, but her pride wouldn't let Adam have the last say. "You dare threaten the mother of your child Adam? Well, bring it on, ex-convict, there's nothing you can do. In the blink of an eye, my darling husband can have your supposed powers stripped off you. He sent you to jail once, remember? He can do it again without any h
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER TWELVE
The crowd gasped in shock at the utterance of the taxi man. The Raine family was the number one family in their province and country at large, they had more money than all of the rich men combined and were highly feared, respected and revered. To be associated with them, was like being associated with a god. It was no news that they had been searching for their legal heir for a while, they had released the news to the press, and when they finally found him a few years later, they informed the media but didn't disclose the heir's personality or person. Murmuring further broke out amongst them, as they all began to wonder who the heir was, and if it might have been the poor looking man whom they had previously harrassed and insulted, The majority of them didn't think it was possible, maybe the heir had been in the car not wanting to come out. What didn't add up for them, was Adam's association and involvement with such a high and privileged family. "What's the name on the card? Read

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. 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
