“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
Her call? Her call to make? Who the hell were these people? Was it possible that they were the very same people after her life and that of her family, who had decided to show their faces after their minions had been exposed and taken out? Or had they been sent by Lincoln Turner who couldn't stand his defeat the last time? A barrage of questions ran through Amber's mind, leaving it in turmoil as she kept her eyes intensely on the men, refusing to yield to their order to drop her gun down. “Amber Rowland, I would not be repeating myself again, drop the gun and choose to come with me peacefully…for your own good” She curled her lips as a response and widened her legs as she glared intensely at them, “I'm not leaving the confines of my home to follow strangers I do not know anything of! My mama taught me better!” Both men arched their eyebrows before guffawing. She scoffed in return and curled her lips once more, before thrusting her head and chin up sharply at them, “Who the hell s
Back in his grandfather’s mansion, Adam lay on the settee in the room as he gazed upon the frail sight of his daughter, his heart breaking within. It was ironic that he could heal other people and find whatever herb to cure them, but he had been unable to cure the one person that mattered most to him in this life, he shut his eyes closed as he tried to send the threatening tears back, Still gazing lovingly upon her frail frame, he cleared his clogged throat and spoke hoarsely, “Don't worry baby, Daddy is going to do everything to get you up and running again, you'll get another opportunity to run around with your mates and even meet your great-grandfather and do a whole lot more, even if it's the last thing I do on this godforsaken earth” He vowed to himself while he wiped at the tears that had escaped from his eyes, it broke his heart seeing his child in such manner, looking entirely helpless and weak, it was only because of the Xanthaz plant that he had been able to stabilize her
