Inside her car, Amber was unable to keep still as she kept fidgeting on her seat, her eyes moving from window to window, she hated not knowing what was happening, it didn't help that the building seemed to be soundproof hence no sound or movement came from it. She ran her hands through her hair for the umpteenth time, chewing on her lips constantly, she hoped Mr Adam was safe and sound, although she had seen him fight and take on all of those men, she didn't know if he would be able to take on all of the men in that building including Markus Grey, considering the fact that he had earlier fought a bunch of miscreants. The waiting and anxiety were killing Amber as she sat in her chair, constantly tapping on her steering wheel, Lincoln Turner and the Pilant group were child's play where Markus Grey and his group was, despite the fact that Lincoln was also a sinister being. “Damn it to hell" She exclaimed in a loud voice, before leaning underneath her chair and bringing out a silver pi
A little over a week later, Williams and Curtis got the news about Markus’ death concurrently at their different locations and the two men's reactions to the news were quite similar. It was hardly believable that the great and powerful Markus Grey was dead; murdered in fact. He had seemed like a cat with nine lives, an immortal being, yet he had died so carelessly. Fear gripped both men, at the thought that whoever it was who killed him could possibly be coming for them, No one had revealed the cause of his death, but there had been rumours that he had been murdered, Williams didn't think of the possibility that it could be Adam, on the other hand, Curtis thought it too much of a coincidence and was hoping for the same fate to not befall him, and so despite having relations with Markus Grey and his men, the two men steered clear of any news that had to do with him, and also stayed away from the group's location as well as the hideout. In celebration of Markus' death and his supposed
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
