Amber's character is slightly growing on me, can't wait to see what she adds to the story as we go on. Who's with me?? 🤭❤️
Hearing the growl that was coming out of Amber's throat, Adam shook his head in reprimand and drew her back slightly, before bending his head to whisper in her ears, “He's not worth it Ms Amber" In response, she rolled her eyes and huffed, removing her arm from his waist, she folded both of them across her chest and glared at Williams Bates, He was one to talk, and considering the little dirt she knew about him, she could cover him with that dirt if only Adam would let her, it was his battle and so she reluctantly kept quiet, a little angry at Adam for depriving her of her attack. Williams tried to understand what Adam was doing with Rowland's heiress, had he been employed by them just as he had thought, but no one of such calibre and status as Ms Rowland would willfully be as openly affectionate with someone like Adam as Ms Rowland had been, He couldn't help the envy that seeped through his veins, Ms Rowland was the kind of woman every man would be proud to have as an arm accesso
Totally dismissing Louisa and her pale husband, Adam headed into the store while walking behind both women, Louisa was torn between consoling her dejected husband or following her ex who was known and respected by the classy owner of La'Velle, It was as though she was seeing a new and different Adam entirely and didn't know what to place of him, she spared a dejected Williams a glance and rolled her eyes at his look, before going to stand by him, “Williams we need to go home, there's no point being here" Yet Williams turned deaf ears and stood rooted to the ground, his mind was whirling and reeling with too many embarrassing memories, whenever he thought the last one was the worst, Adam would find a way to top the cake, the cycle was becoming annoying and he needed to assert himself and his authority once more, and as for Amber, he yearned to teach her a lesson but knew he couldn't, oppressing the poor was one thing, but one could hardly do anything at someone of Amber Rowland's sta
“I now have my daughter back. Oh, and I'm so sorry about your loss” These words kept ringing in Williams' head as he sat still on the bed in his room, his brain had still been unable to wrap the events of the day, sure Adam and Rowland's heiress had flaunted their bought goods at them, but he knew from whose pocket those purchase had been made, a church rat like Adam couldn't even afford the miserly scared he had gotten for Louisa from La’Velle, That wasn't his concern nor his mind’s bone of contention at that moment, his brain kept reeling with thoughts at the words and trying to decipher the meaning, it had been established by Markus and his men that Adam had rescued his daughter, what he didn't know was how he had gone about it, but what had his mind and head befuddled and in turmoil was the latter statement, was it possible that it was Adam who had murdered Grey or had someone do the job for him? Williams shook his head repeatedly, that was a ludicrous thing to think, but then a
Adam was relaxing in the garden inside his parents’ new home, taking a day off from his daily life, as well as checking in on his parents after the episode they had suffered at the hands of those criminals, Adrien had come visiting and was seated beside him slowly sipping on a lemonade, He had come with news about information of Markus’ group after his death, Adrien dropped the glass cup down and glanced at Adam, before he sat up and spoke, “We really need to be on the lookout now more than ever, I do not know what the surviving members might be planning, but I do know that it can't be good. You should have taken all of them out when you had the chance!” He huffed at Adam who in turn raised his eyebrows and scoffed, Adrien rolled his eyes and continued, “They won't let Markus’ death slide like that, most especially his son who I hear is worse than his father. Markus sired a demon worse than he was, even Markus was scared of him!” Although he believed in his friend’s ability, he di
With a face still downcast, Amber faced Adam, “What would you need to hold him off before we get the antidote?” Hearing the question, Adam let out a deep sigh, this was a tricky thing as he didn't exactly know what kind of poison had been put into Brandon’s system, and he couldn't jeopardize the young man’s chance, he shrugged his shoulders in response, “For now, I believe a little rain oil and the vesal plant will do” Amber nodded her head solemnly and turned to the door, leaving Adam alone with her brother, she quickly went to fetch the required items herself, she couldn't take chances anymore. There was a mole amongst them, one who was out to take out her family, and she couldn't give them the slightest chance to do so. About ten minutes later she came back with the items and handed them over to Adam, “Here they are” Adam got to work immediately, mixing the herbs, and pouring the liquid down Brandon’s throat, when he was done he faced Amber, “Now we wait and see, but for now
Seeing the predatory look in his eyes, Adam drew nearer to Amber as the man fumed, “Your best just wasn't good enough!!! We have our needs and family to cater to, and it's an option of the highest bidder Ma’am” Amber gaped with mouth agape at one of her security guards she had considered to be one of the best, it was disbelieving to know his heart's intentions, she felt light on her feet and could collapse on Adam who had subtly held her, “Who paid you to do such a dirty job?! I'm pretty sure it's not your doing, who's the person behind this?!” She was done playing the victim and Ms nice girl, it was time to get to the bottom of the matter, and so he had demanded in a cool voice through gritted teeth, The security only shrugged in response, whilst his female accomplice bowed her head low, unable to mutter anything. The guy raised his eyes, trying to dare her, and smirked, “Wouldn't you like to know?!” he replied in a sarcastic tone before going on, “There's no point asking me th
While Adam had been trying to save the life of Brandon Rowland, unbeknownst to him and Williams, Vance Michael Grey aka The Dragon had arrived at their province, Ushering with him only two of his mercenaries known as Viler and Viper, he had gone ahead and stormed Curtis’ compound, crashing the gate in and daring anyone to stop his entrance. Wasting no time he entered Curtis’ house and found Curtis cowering beneath his desk, despite the pain that his body was in. “Drag the motherfucker out right this minute!” The Dragon commanded and his two scary-looking men immediately did as they were commanded, forcing a shaking Curtis into one of the vacant seats in his office, while Vance majestically sat in his, The silence in the room was palpable, aside from the occasional creaking of the chair he sat on and kept twirling. Curtis Hills on the other hand was slumped over in his seat, and could barely lift his head to face Vance and his two formidable strong, and hard-looking men, Curtis cou
A few days after Adam had successfully healed Brandon, who was still upstairs recuperating, Amber was seated in the living room of her house, entertaining Cyril Jefferson who had come visiting in the guise of coming to visit her father, whereas he was hoping to meet the young man who still owed him a cure for his disease. “Mr Cyril, I must say it's nice to see you here, what brings you by? Don't think you have me fooled though, I know the real reason why you're here” Amber relaxed into her chair and winked at Cyril, whose cheeks flushed a bit at her statement, sitting up on his seat, he cleared his throat and spoke up, “I plead the fifth. Although I must confess it's good to see your father up and doing, I'm yet to see your brother though. All is well?” At the inquiry, Amber solemnly nodded her head, she had made sure not a word of Brandon’s brush with death and the situation with her family had left the confines of her house, and so she downplayed the situation, “He's fine, just
