Adam Sanders stood in front of the prison clad in the last outfit he had worn to his former home. His back to the prison walls as he faced the outside world.
'Freedom at last' he sighed to himself as he embraced the feel of the sun and natural breeze on his skin. He hadn't felt that in a few years. The feeling was too good to be true, the feel of the breeze was like morning to his night.
Looking up to the sky with pitiful eyes, Adam found tears streaming down his chin, unable to imagine that he had been released before his release date. No one knew he was coming back yet, and he preferred it that way.
Three years ago, he had been wrongly incarcerated and thrown into prison after Williams B**e had him framed and imprisoned.
"In your next life and world, you'd know not to drag with me. I'll see to your end and I'll finish you. Let me see how long it'll take you to get out. You'll rot in there all your miserable life"
Those were the exact words Williams had whispered to him as he was being carted away. Adam had made a decision to never forget those words, choosing to rather meditate on them and make them his driving force to getting out.
Adam strolled down the street, looking to hail a cab that would take him home. The place he hadn't seen in years, he looked forward to seeing his family. The last time he had seen his daughter, she was barely one. His parents alongside his siblings would have greatly missed him.
The one person he needed to see most of all was his beautiful wife, Louisa, he had missed her terribly. Although he had heard certain rumours back in prison, he needed to see her to clear the air.
He could hear a taxi driving down and waved to stop it. Just as the taxi slowed down beside him
"Falls street," he said to the driver as he slid in
"Alright," the driver replied hesitantly. Although the outward look of his passenger made him feel uneasy, the man in question carried a commanding air around him.
Seeing as they had just left the prison area, the driver wondered if his passenger was an ex-convict or one who had escaped prison. He didn't seem like a warden, the driver wondered if the man had money to pay his fare.
To test out his theory, he turned his head slightly to the back, "Sir your fare is $20"
A grunt was all the reply he got, it worried him, yet he decided to keep a straight face.
In the back seat, Adam smiled to himself, the driver's fare was the least of his worries. Even if he didn't have any cash on him at the moment, he'd make sure the driver got paid for his ride. Leaning his head back on the headrest, he found himself reminiscing on the day he was convicted of a crime he knew nothing of, nor ever committed.
"Adam Sanders is hereby sentenced to ten years in prison for the possession of hard drugs, and the rape of Miss Jancita Andrews." the court had gone into an uproar at the judge's declaration. Adam had found himself zoning the noise out, as he clamped his head in his trembling hands. He'd be going in for a crime he knew nothing about.
"Hey baby, don't worry too much. I'm going to do everything possible to fight and get you out. I promise, please don't give up yet, at least for our baby's sake" Louisa had managed to walk up to him, she whispered into his ears as she tried embracing him.
Tears blinding his vision, Adam turned to embrace his wife, just as his arms grasped hers, his mother-in-law yanked her daughter away from his embrace
"Let's go, Louisa! You are better off than with this criminal" Cecil Martins glared at him, her eyes filled with hatred and disdain, as she dragged a resigned-looking Louisa away.
Louisa gulped and whispered to Adam as her mother dragged her away
"I'll see you soon. I promise" Her voice was a whisper, but Adam heard it all the same.
Louisa had visited a few times after he had been imprisoned but stopped after succumbing to her mother's influence, he had constantly sent words to her but all had gone without a response.
Seated currently in the car, Adam realised he had no phone on him to reach out to his contact, he didn't want his daughter to see him dressed so shabbily after such a long time. He found himself wishing he had taken the phone the prison warden had offered on his way out.
Without hesitation, he moved forward and tapped the driver on his shoulders
"Hey man, mind if I borrow your phone for a bit?"
"Huh… I d-on't g-e-t you" the driver stammered out in fear.
"I'd like to use your phone to make a call, not to worry I'll make sure you're compensated" Adam replied, he couldn't help but smile to himself. He was guessing the driver was terrified of him. He had made sure to work out in the prison gym, even the prison wardens had been scared to get close to him with his new physique, but at the end of the day, Adam was just a harmless guy who just wanted to live in freedom.
From the backseat, Adam watched the driver as he nervously fumbled with his trouser pockets, his hands visibly shaken. Adam couldn't help but chuckle loudly.
He wondered if his physique would cause fear in the people who had put him behind bars, putting his life on hold.
Reluctantly, the driver relinquished his phone with a mumble. Adam chose to ignore, as he took the phone and dialled a number, On the second ring the person on the other end picked up the call.
"Hello?"
"It's me" Adam responded
"Young Master?"

"Young Master?""Yes Raul, it is me.""It's about time Sir, how are you doing? You're grandfat…" Before he could continue, Adam cut him short"There's no time for pleasantries now Raul. I need you to help me do a few things""Nice to hear from you Master, how can I be of service to you Sir?""I need you to meet me at my apartment, and also get a suitable change of clothing for me from any good store, you know my size. and please come around with a present suitable for a three-year-old child" Adam directed to his right-hand man and staff. "Got it, Sir, I'll be there ASAP" Raul speedily replied"Thank you, Raul, that'll be all for now" Without awaiting his response, Adam ended the call, stretching the phone back to the driver, he handed it back to him"Thank you for letting me use your phone" he thanked the driver. The driver on the other hand didn't know how to respond. From the snippet of conversation he heard, it would seem his passenger was some big shot or some criminal who was tr

Adam couldn't help but wonder what was going on, and left him confused and worried, realising he wasn't going to get any other information from the landlord, he headed back out to meet the taxi driver. He met the taxi guy, tapping his steering wheels in anticipation of his return. Without hesitation, Adam opened the back door and slid in, realising he needed to make another call, he silently asked the driver for his phone once again, "Hey Mister, please I'd like to use your phone again" The driver stared on confusingly, and he could feel him getting agitated on hearing the request, the driver turned to look back at him, his eyes filled with irritation. "Are you trying to play me or something Sir!? If you don't have any money to pay me better let me know! Scrap that! Pay me my money! I've driven you around town, you've wasted my day for nothing. I could have more trips with the time I've taken you round and now you want my phone!?" the driver angrily retorted. Adam tried to hide his

"You!?" Madame Cecil was shocked to see Adam, especially right on their ground, she hurriedly hid and replaced the shock, and with eyes filled with contempt, she glared at Adam, her voice was laced with malice and hatred as she continually glared at Adam, wishing him into oblivion "What are you doing here, and how did you get this place, you bloody riff-raff!? Who let you in!?" she glanced at the security who had his hands raised"I haven't let him in Ma'am, I was just about to kick him out before your arrival Madam." the security swiftly defended himself as he also glared at Adam. Adam on the other hand couldn't believe his eyes, he didn't think his mother-in-law would be the one to greet him. He was well aware that she hated his guts and always felt like Louisa could have chosen better as she was a beauty. He knew she didn't see him as fit or worthy to be referred to as her son-in-law. In all of the confusion, Adam had yet to speak nor defend himself "See as he stares like the l

You clearly are a fool. They say looks can be deceiving, but I fail to notice what in god's name must have had you deceived with this tattered and unkempt looking fool. Surely Sir, you are indeed a fool."The taxi driver had yet to free Adam from his tight grasp, he felt utterly berated by the older lady but couldn't counter her, as she was right. He felt like a fool and vowed to take out his anger on the miscreant he was currently holding. From the corner of his eyes, the taxi driver watched as a shiny white sedan pulled up on the driveway, and the drinker honked at the gate. The windows were tinted, so no one had yet to see the occupant of the classy ride. Cecil on seeing the car was giddy inside, another person who hated the very sight of Adam had arrived, and she was sure that he'd happily join in the goading and tormenting of Adam, she watched as the gates slid open automatically, the car was moving in until it suddenly stopped and parked by Adam and the taxi man. As the car d

In an instant, the growling and barking of dogs suddenly filled the air, Cecil found herself rejoicing as the dogs were also going to add to the total humiliation and destruction of Adam. "Finally!! I wonder what took the foolish security to round up those dogs." turning to face the direction of the barks, she declared at the top of her voice, to continuously draw in the attention of the growing crowd. "Whoa, the poor man is about to get bitten and chewed as dinner by those dogs, they do sound hungry""I'm going to be here to watch it all playdown. I'm not moving an inch from here" The crowd murmured amongst themselves, all in anticipation of what their eyes were about to feast on. Some of them couldn't wait to get home and relay the events of the day to their loved ones. The security guard finally appeared with another security man, both of them grappling to contain five leashed dogs who were struggling to be free of their leash. The dogs ranging from dobermans to pit bulls and a

Adam wasted no time in heading to the address, although a part of him wondered if he was being set up, due to how fast Logan had changed his mind and given him the location of Louisa. He found himself wishing Ariel would be with her, his arms ached to carry her and feel her. He walked briskly as he tried to locate the area. Thanks to Cecil and Logan he had no means of transportation anymore nor a way to contact Raul. Raul surely must have been searching for him, he hoped that against all odds, Raul would prove himself competent and find him.As Adam walked by the side of the road, he failed to notice a loose thorn in a shrub, seeking to devour its victim, at the last minute, he unfortunately noticed it just as the thorn tore through his trousers and into his flesh"Fuck! Bloody hell. Can this day get any worse" he profanely cursed at the thorn, while trying to soothe the throbbing pain that ran down his calf to his ankle. Ignoring the pain in his legs, Adam limped on slightly as bl

"I'm sorry Sir for disturbing the serenity of our establishment, but this poor and tattered-looking man thinks he can waltz in, with an air of arrogance into our restaurant and get away with it. Last I checked Sir, this is a reputable place for only the elites and he sure doesn't look nor dress like an elite to me Sir" Adam could feel the gaze of the man who he assumed to be the manager appraising him, he stole a glance at the man's face, the manager's expression was like that of someone who had sucked on an unripened lemon, his face was so sour. The manager neared him, standing at a mere 5"12, he tried to intimidate Adam, 'If only these people knew who he had become' Adam kept his thoughts to himself, there wasn't any need proving himself to these ones, they were hell-bent on judging this book by its covers. "Sir, you know that you cannot afford to buy a cheap meal for yourself, as such, you most definitely cannot afford to even buy a plate of our cheapest meal or even a glass o

Williams had never been this humiliated and embarrassed in his life, gritting his teeth he faced Adam and said in a slow poisonous voice, "You'll regret this, sending you to prison was child's play. When I'm done with you, you'd wish you never escaped from prison!" William's demeanour changed, his gaze taking an evil smirk, he signalled to his guards to beat up Adam without showing him mercy. Suddenly, six hefty men came out and advanced towards Adam and assembled before him to deal with him. They all charged towards him at the same time. Skilfully and deftly, Adam dodged their punches while he delivered lethal punches to their body, targeting the places that would immobilise them. In a flash, all six guards were flat on their faces, writhing in pain. Adam had managed to defeat all of them without being bruised at all. Everywhere became quiet, as everyone looked dazed, everybody was dumbfounded. Adam didn't have a scratch on him, yet six trained men were laying on the floor

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.

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

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!"

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
