The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED NINTY-TWO
Amber, noticing Derek, sighed internally, her warmth towards Adam momentarily replaced by a cold exterior as she braced herself for the encounter, "Derek," She greeted, her voice laced with a forced politeness that barely concealed her irritation.Derek, barely acknowledging Adam, turned his full attention to Amber. "Amber, darling, I wasn’t expecting to find you here, and certainly not in such... company," he said, his eyes flickering disdainfully towards Adam.Adam clenched his fists at his sides, feeling a wave of frustration, he could sense Derek’s attempt to belittle him, and it took considerable effort to maintain his composure."Oh, Derek, always a pleasure to run into you unexpectedly," Amber replied, her words dripping with a touch of sarcasm she hoped wasn't too evident.Derek, oblivious to Amber's discomfort, continued, "I must say, I’m surprised to see you with... What was your name again?" he asked, turning to Adam, his tone dismissive, as if Adam's identity was of li

"How...?" Derek's voice trailed off as he struggled to compose himself, his gaze shifting from Adam to Mira and then to Amber. "How does a pauper like you get the attention of not one, but two of the most desirable women here? Two hotties?" His tone was laced with bitterness, the words dripping with venom as he failed to conceal his growing resentment.Adam, sensing Derek's growing hostility, remained calm. He understood now that Derek's arrogance stemmed from insecurity, an inability to accept that respect and affection couldn't be bought or bullied into existence."It's simple, Derek. It's about authenticity and genuine connection—qualities that seem foreign to you. People aren't trophies to be won or assets to flaunt. They're to be cherished and respected." Adam said arrogantly and mockingly.Derek's face turned a shade redder, his fists clenching at his sides. The mocking demeanor he carried earlier had now completely evaporated, replaced by a visible agitation."Authenticity? Ge

Meanwhile, back inside the restaurant, Amber turned to Adam with a sigh,"I want to apologise once again for all that drama. Derek can be... overbearing at times." She frowned as she recalled his verbal assault and bad behaviour, however, she was reassured that Adam didn't make Derek into dog pie, which would have been both entertaining and terrible to see.Adam waved off her apology,"You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm just glad it didn't escalate further." He rolled his shoulders, releasing some of the built-up tension from squaring off against Derek, A part of him still felt riled up, but Mira's calming presence had helped diffuse the situation."Shall we try enjoying what's left of our evening?" Amber suggested, her smile returning, "I believe I still owe you a nice meal."Adam returned her smile warmly, and gave a brief nod, "That sounds wonderful. And thank you, for standing up to Derek as well."After their brief exchange, the tension from the confrontation began to ebb

He leaned on the table as he waited for her to speak, Amber expelled a breath before she spoke up, her eyes lighting a little,“Have you ever wondered or thought about going into making drugs?”Adam’s head flinched a little to the back as he stared at her, he couldn't help but wonder what had brought about the question,He arched his brow but said nothing as he waited for her to keep on going,“So I've been thinking, our company would like to branch out into the medicine world, and I'd like for you to head the place, not only that, I think it'd be a great idea to take over Markus’ illegal company, I'm certain you can turn their illegal pharmaceutical business into something better.”Adam leaned into his seat and gave a disbelieving chuckle before he raised his brow at her and then shook his head,“And how about Vance?”He questioned lightly, Amber rolled her eyes and hissed before she waved her hand dismissively,“Oh, that Lizard? There's nothing he can do, and he knows it. I'm all a

Adam’s question caused Amber to squeal loudly as she bounced on her feet while still seated, Adam shook his head in mild chastisement at her antics, and a small blush appeared on her face. Adam’s face and his previous question brought a smile to Amber’s face, causing her to grin from ear to ear. She hadn't expected him to give in so easily, and the thought pleased her to no end.Her face lit up, as she still grinned from ear to ear, with her eyes sparkling within them, forgetting her manners, she sagged against the chair, her face was a mix of excitement and relief, "The first step," She began, lowering her voice although it was steady with newfound confidence. With the smile still intact on her face, she lifted her eyes to gaze at him,"Is to set up a meeting with my team. We need to lay down the groundwork, discuss our resources, and outline our immediate objectives."Adam nodded, the gears already turning in his head,"And the research? How far have you gotten?""We've collected
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINTY-SEVEN
After Adam had escorted Amber out of the restaurant, he headed out to go see Sage Robinson in regard to his health, he didn't want to admit it but after hearing Amber's feedback on Sage’s health, he had been a little worried.Just as he got to the entrance of the building, he met a man who looked awfully familiar by the door, his eyes met those of the man whose eyes he could see a mix of shock, defiance, and fear in them, but Adam couldn't place how he knew the man but couldnʼt shake off the feeling that the fellow looked familiar.“tsk”The fellow said and brushed past him, disdain and anger clear on his face. Unbothered by the man’s attitude, Adam trudged to his destination, dismissing the man. He nodded his head at the maid who bowed,“Where’s Mr Sage?”He inquired of the maid who led him to the inner chamber of Sage’s house, on getting to the room, his lips pursed and he raised his eyebrows as his eye squinted, Sage Robinson laid weakly on the bed and barely acknowledged Adam.Wit
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINTY-EIGHT
The sight of the frail man lying on the bed sent a pang to Adam’, a heart, “Mr Sage Robinson, what happened in my absence?”Adam soliloquised loudly to himself in the quiet room, his voice echoing as he did, knowing he wouldn't get his answers right away, he concentrated on the job before him, keeping his questions and worries at bay. He worked meticulously as he mixed potion after potion, herbs after herb trying to heal Sage. He soon finished preparing all the necessary potions to help Sage Robinson with and gently seeped some into his mouth and ears as well, he first had to dispel the poison before he administered the herb that was to heal Sage of his ailment, the fiery sale had to be on hold for now. Done with the first half of his job, Adam waited for Sage to wake up, and as he did, his mind buzzed once again with questions and suspicions, he was still perplexed with what he had met, after his warnings to Sage, the man had still remained careless. For a split moment, he thought
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & NINTY-NINE
Adam tried concentrating as Sage was still speaking,“...Nathan Walsh was one of the few men who supported my decision to bring you to the group to take over from Old Thompson and myself, especially when it looked like I had no spare life left”The old man chuckled lightly at his own joke and Adam broke into a small smile. The face of the man he had met at the door was the opposite of who Sage was making him out to be, the man at the entrance had been nothing but hostile to him, that look wasn't one of a supporter but an arrogant and disdained person.As though his brain and mind were in alliance with his thoughts, his eyes went wide and he gasped a little, as he suddenly remembered why the man had felt familiar; and that was because he was familiar, it was the same man he had seen at the restaurant with Cecil, the one who Cecil had claimed to be her ‘man’.Something wasn't adding up, and knew he had to be careful and on his toes, himself as well as Sage Robinson. There was something

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. The more Jason stared around his surroundings

CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED & ONE
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
CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY-EIGHT
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!" Adam turned towards the direction and wasn't surprised to see a snarling Ruth with a downcast Mira stand

“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
