Adam got out of the hotel and headed to the main road in search of a taxi, as he had pitched a ride with Amber, taking out his phone from his pocket he called Raul once more, who immediately picked up the call, “Young Master?" “Send one of the drivers over Raul, I'm at the SunRoom Hotel” "Right away Sir” "One more thing Raul, what do you know about these kidnappers? Have you got any information?” “I believe they were a group of five men who made the attack, sent by a man named Markus Grey…” "Thank you, Raul, that will be all” Adam immediately cut him short, he had a name and that was enough, he glanced at his wristwatch to check the time, the driver Raul was delaying him, he clutched the phone in his hand too tightly and used his free hand to comb his fingers through his hair, Needing more information about who had taken his parents hostage, he called Adrien, who immediately picked up the call as it rang, “I take it you've gotten the news?" “Yes. What do you know about a cert
“How lovely of you to grace us with your presence, Adam Sanders” With crossed arms and a jutted-out chest, Markus sneered as his eyes fell on Adam, his voice carrying a little hint of admiration, he had watched as Adam had single-handedly beat up his met and didn't bother to interfere, he subtly glanced at Adam's fingers and didn't see the ring on it, his eyes reddened at that realisation and he clenched his fist, He had been looking forward to possessing that ring, but now the idiot hadn't come along with it. One thing that perplexed him was that, though Adam was without the ring, but he had been able to skillfully beat up a total number of over a hundred and fifty men, and he wondered how he had been able to do all of that without the Maracuda Ornate ring. He lifted his eyes back to Adam and smirked, his eyes glinting with evil, spread out his arms and said, “Welcome to my lair, glad to have you join us" Despite the fight that he had gone through, Adam’s exterior and body postur
Markus immediately gulped subtly, wincing as he did. His gaze on Adam was alert, keeping strong eye contact before he nodded curtly at him, and in a steady voice, that was pitched low uttered, “Bring it in my good friend" He leered at Adam, and with his eyes still on Adam, he bent over and retrieved a dagger beneath the table he stood beside, straightening himself up, he thrust the dagger in Adam's direction, making Adam flinch back a little, at the reaction Markus smiled maniacally, “Come any further, and you'll be dead meat. I'm no coward to beg you for my life! I own my life, nobody else owns it!" With his feet planted in a wide stance, Markus focused his attention on Adam, trying to mirror Adam's movements. He knew he had to be swift and calculative to defeat Adam because Adam was like a wind you never saw coming. He stood solidly, at the ready for any form of attack from Adam, who only looked at him casually with raised eyebrows and folded arms. Adam knew that Markus would
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
