The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & SIXTY-EIGHT
Adam, seeking solace from the relentless drama and chaos, decided to venture to "La Maison Gourmet," the new culinary talk of the town, leaving every other person to their plans. The taxi ride there was just another reminder of his growing disdain for public transport and his experiences with them,As he paid the fare, he muttered under his breath, "That's it. I need a new car that I'll drive myself."Stepping into La Maison Gourmet, Adam was immediately enveloped in an ambiance that screamed luxury and exclusivity, His casual attire, a stark contrast to the opulent surroundings, didn't go unnoticed,A pair of well-dressed women at the entrance glanced his way, their eyes scanning him from head to toe,"Look at that," One whispered loud enough for Adam to hear, a smirk playing on her lips,"Did he mistake this place for a diner?"Adam felt a little insulted by their remarks, his cheeks tinting a little, but he ignored their statements, as he walked with his head held high; if he wan

“You think this is the circus, or maybe you think your silly rich friends will come to your rescue this time around?! You're just a poor bastard!”Cecil went on taunting and baiting him to the delight of all around her, the smile on her partner’s face egged her on, while she enjoyed the taunts.Adam ignored her completely and focused his sole attention on the waiter, him, and everyone else who were curious to know the outcome of the transaction,He laid back casually on his seat and crossed his arms, there was no need to worry, as he was totally sure of his card.“He's so poor, yet he has so much pride!” one of the patrons exclaimed, still Adam ignored that one, relaxed in his seat, while he waited for his receipt,The waiter swiped the card, half of his attention on Adam and the other half on the machine, just as he slid it in and pressed a few buttons, his head snapped back, and he lifted his eyes to glare squarely at Adam,“Transaction denied! Sirr!” the waiter drawled, his eyes sh

“What do you have to lose if you retry it?” Adam questioned him, with his arms folded to his chest,The waiter only scoffed and rolled his eyes, he was tired of these shenanigans and wanted to be done with it,“Don’t listen to him! He's nothing but a criminal, he escaped from prison, after being arrested for being a rapist and drug peddler!” Cecil admonished the waiter in a loud voice, drawing the attentive ears of all present, who began gasping and murmuring loudly amongst themselves.Some of the customers were already raging and on their feet,“I knew it!!!”“He sure does look it”“Get him out of here, he's not supposed to be amongst humans!”“Have him arrested!”Despite the raging storm around him, Adam kept his cool, maintaining a calmness that belied how he felt while looking at Cecil, save for the fact that she was the useless grandmother of his child, he would have shown her the things he was capable of doing, with no words, he only smirked at her and raised his eyebrow in que

Adam looked up at Mira with a mixture of gratitude and pride, a genuine smile breaking on his face,“I appreciate your gesture, but I insist on paying for my meal. I'm confident my card has the funds. Could you please try running it again?"His request seemed to reignite Cecil's fury, and all the other patron’s anger,“Such insolence!”“What arrogance!!!”“He finally has a way out, yet he chooses to be proud and arrogant! What a fellow!”Cecil finally found her voice again, sharper and more biting than before,"Don't bother with his charades" Cecil spat out, her teeth and first clenched tightly,"He's just a pretender, trying to claim what he's not. If you're seriously considering his plea, then you might as well say goodbye to us. You know very well the kind of business we bring." She called at the waiter, not knowing she was addressing one of the owners of the establishment.The waiter, caught in the crossfire of two formidable forces, beads of sweat forming on his brow, looked hel

Adam, with his eyebrows drawing together, watched her as she left and didn't hesitate as he stood and quickly collected his card back from the confused waiter with a nod of thanks, ignoring every other person and quickly followed Mira outside,He found her standing by her car, a sleek, luxurious model that shone under the streetlights. Her hands were clasped tightly in front of her, knuckles white, as she wriggled her fingers,"Miss, talk to me. What happened?" Adam asked, keeping his voice calm while maintaining strong eye contact, and drawing closer to her.She turned to him, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, as she struggled to speak past the lump in her throat, "I-it's my daughter," She managed to say, her voice breaking, she shut her eyes tightly to rid the tears, and opened them again, before sighing deeply,"Her condition... it's gotten worse. I need to go to her."Adam saw the desperation in her eyes, the way her shoulders sagged under the weight of her worry, and he c

Doctor Wren’s hardened eyes rested on Adam, and he raised his eyebrows as he glared at him, before he questioned him,“Any problem young man, do you have anything to say? Or perhaps you doubt my skill and would like to offer yours?” Adam immediately shook his head, his arms folded to his chest, the doctor was still glaring at him when Madam Ruth’s voice broke through,“Doctor please ignore that nonentity, I do not know where Mira happened to have dragged him from” while she spoke, she glared at Adam, even though she was urging the doctor to attend to her granddaughter.Throwing one glare at Adam, the doctor moved towards the bedside, where Genesis lay still as death, while Mira whimpered beside her, constantly snorting and rubbing her nose.“Get a hold of yourself, Mira! Doctor Wren will heal Genesis”Madam Ruth tried to reassure her grieving daughter, who refused to be consoled.After the slight episode with Mira’s mother, Adam decided to wait to see how everything would play out, s
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED & SEVENTY-FOUR
At the shrill and fear in Mira’s voice, Adam quickly turned and saw the girl shaking and flailing on the bed with her eyes still closed, “Dr Wren, don't just stand there! Do something! My granddaughter is dying!”“What's wrong?! What did you do?!”Both women threw questions at the doctor, who stood perplexed while biting his fingers and talking to himself, he couldn't understand why the girl was acting like that, he had done everything right by his book, and so he was left twisted and confused,“I-I don't k-know, she's supposed to be awake” he managed to stutter out, and in a flash Mira dove at him, clutching his shirt and pounding his chest at the same time,“How dare you?! You've made my daughter worse, and yet you say you don't know. I'll kill you!!!” Mira roared as she continued banging on his chest, tears dripping down her face, Madam Ruth, exhaled deeply in an attempt to calm herself before turning to one of the guards,“Hurry, get all the best doctors you can find, and bring

“Nobody touches her any longer!”As the voice commanded, all eyes turned in his direction, and Adam didn't fail to notice the look of disdain on Mira’s face and the opposite look of relief and happiness on Madam Ruth’s face,Brendan Castro strode in with his head held high and his chest out,“Brendan, I'm so grateful you're here!!!”She exclaimed loudly and dramatically, almost acting as though she wanted to faint, Adam rolled his eyes at her melodrama.Brendan nodded his head at her and approached her,“Not to worry my sweet lady, I have brought cavalry, we cannot let just anybody touch our precious Genesis!”Mira rolled her eyes and hissed before scowling at him and snapping,“What other option do you have?! MY CHILD lays dying and you're here with your sanctimonious attitude as usual!”Brendan sighed dramatically and scowled at Adam, weighing him with his eyes, before he masked the hate in his eyes into a saccharine smile and looked at Mira,“My darling, I know I'm not your favorit

Chapter 1. (A glimpse into The Unrefined Jason Lee)
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

CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY-FIVE
“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
