Vance could hardly believe his eyes as he looked at the lifeless bodies of both his men. Viper and Viler had been so skilled in martial arts and other form of fights that no one could match them or come close, yet this man had managed to take them out without any stress, his mind was perturbed and he needed answers, but he had to play his game right if he was going to bring down this man. Lifting his head, he glanced at Adam and slowly released a breath. Violence didn't work, it was time to try trickery, “What is it you say you want?” ‘Your head on a platter’ Adam thought to himself, but didn't voice his thoughts out, “Release all of them, and we just might be even” Vance snapped his head back as he stared incredulously at Adam, Even? He had claimed there was no way he could be even with him, the dude had killed his father, his men, and his right-hand men! Yet he was talking about being even. With his arms crossed, he tilted his head sideways, studied Adam, and sneered, “Even, yo
After a harrowing journey through the maze, Adam emerged with Amber's weakening form cradled in his arms. Cyril and the guard following behind, carefully and diligently looking behind them, Vance and his vow was not to be trusted, As they exited the maze, Adam spotted his friend Adrien and his men waiting nearby with a convoy of cars, he had called him while they had been leaving, Adrien's face fell at the sight of Amber's pale, unconscious state. "Quickly, help me load her into the wagon," said Adam urgently. With Cyril and the guard's assistance, they lifted Amber aboard as carefully as possible. "What happened?" asked Adrien grimly as he took the reins. In short, clipped sentences, Adam recounted the confrontation with Vance and their narrow escape. Adrien swore under his breath. "That madman will stop at nothing. We must get Amber to safety." He activated the turbo, and they sped toward Amber's family estate. Throughout the journey, Adam did his utmost to care for Amber, but
Despite the storm that raged around him, Adam was extremely calm, as he continued attending to Amber, her pulse was totally weak and the electrocution had affected her system, she was practically numb. From where Elliot stood observing Adam work with precision, he glared at him with disdain, unable to hold his disdain anymore, he suddenly cried out, “There's no point wasting your time and ours! Your ineptitude and inexperience have cost us already, as well as cost Amber her life, just give up already!” “Elliot, if you don't zip it, I'll zip it for you and I'm not kidding!” Brandon, Amber’s brother whom Adam had been relieved to see out and about spoke up again, Adam was surprised to hear Brandon attack his cousin in his defense, considering how he had been the last time with the experienced doctor, Still, Adam didn't mention anything, and he ignored Eliiot’s useless talks and went on, Elliot’s statement and observation were insignificant, considering the life he was trying to save
Mason Rowland’s eyes kept darting between his nephew Elliot and Adam, one’s look was riled with guilt and the other with calmness that bordered on indifference, he hated being kept in the dark, although he appreciated Adam for all he had done for his family, a part of his was angsty and angry at the accusatory tone of Adam at his nephew, Maddened, Mason slowly but forcefully breathed out loud and then turned to face a calm Adam, “Mr Adam, if you have something to say, I suggest you say it now! I do not like nor appreciate your tone of voice. Despite his misgivings and little faults, my nephew is an upright man, a right-standing fellow, so such unfounded accusations should be backed by evidence!” Adam glanced at Mason’s direction before he scoffed, Elliot was more like a morally degraded and corrupt fellow, he was far from being an upright citizen. With newfound determination, he glanced at the said subject who seemed to be battling with different raging emotions, his entire face had
Amber let out a deep sigh and adjusted herself on the bed, with her father Mason propping her up, while Brandon hovered around her, Elliot stood in his corner sneering to himself with his head still bowed low, she spared a glance in his direction and disgust laced her eyes as she looked his way, “Elliot, I know for a fact that you've been wishing me death, I guess today isn't your lucky day because I'm not dying today” While she spoke, Mason’s head snapped up and he stared at her with a horror-filled face, “Amber!! How dare you?!” She lifted her eyes to her dad as she adjusted herself on the bed, propping herself up with both arms, “I dare Dad because it's the truth! I already told you all that Adam had spoken was the truth! What I do not know is if Elliot is also responsible for the assassination attempts in this family, I might not be entirely surprised if it turns out to be him” Elliot immediately lifted his face that had gone pallid and gazed at Amber, horror-struck, in his d
Elliot let out a gasp and gaped disbelievingly at Amber, “You heard her right? Get the hell out of here” Adam retorted, daring Elliott with his eyes, “How dare you, who'd you think you are” Elliot felt insulted, and belittled by Adam's words thrown at him, Smiling, Adam winked at him and then responded to Elliott's questioning, “The guy who almost kicked your ass” he taunted. Elliot threw daggers with his eyes at Adam, he couldn't stand the guy and his sick and unusual manner, the more Adam kept his gaze on him, the more Elliott fumed within, although he still had his misgivings about Adam, he sneered at Adam while he was still on the floor, “You think it's funny? You think you can just talk to me as you like, I'm more than you could ever be, you smell poverty daily while I live in riches! You better not make me angry or else I might make you lose a few teeth” Elliot lashed back and Adam fumed where he was, to Adam, Elliot was an insignificant ant, but he wanted to show Elliott
Brandon had been returning from the kitchen with a scowl etched deeply on his face, one of the reasons why Brandon had been irritated and angry while in the room, was the fact that he hadn't failed to notice the way his sister Amber had looked at the pauper Adam, she looked at him as though he was her unsung hero, and the look bothered Brandon, He couldn't imagine his beautiful and powerful sister in his arms or being with someone as poor and basic looking as the man he had sarcastically and condescendingly nicknamed Workd best, as far as he was concerned, the rundown doctor who was just lucky in his field, and probably spent all of his time in the gym. The man wasn't up to par with him or any member of his family, and so when he had caught Amber’s eyes on Adam, it had bothered and irritated him to no end. As far as he was concerned, Adam was no good for his family neither was he any good for his sister, and so when Adam mistakenly crashed into him, causing Brandon to spill some of
Bam! Was the sound that filled the air, and the next thing ringing in Brandon’s ears, alongside the pain that was stinging his eyes, leaving the cup in his hand to clank on the floor, Brandon raised his hands to his nose, as he held his bleeding nose while gaping wide-eyed at Adam who had delivered the bone-crushing punch to his nose, his eyes stung from a combination of pain, humiliation and unshed tears, although his eyes watered. “Ahhh, you're gonna kill you fool!” Amidst the pain coursing through his system, Brandon had heard the approaching footsteps of Mason and Amber, as they both rushed in to see what had caused the clattering sound, hearing their footsteps he had purposely played up and yelled out in pain, Mason stopped in his steps as he saw blood trickling down from his son’s hand down to his elbow, he raised his head and sent a questioning glance at Adam and Brandon, “What's going on here?!” He quickly rushed to his son, bringing out a handkerchief from his pocket to
