Every head snapped in his direction and they gaped at him,“And who is your greatest enemy?” Cecil asked, acting surprised and she leaned back into her seat to stare at Williams a little closely. He took his swell time, looking them in the faces before he answered, smirking as he did,“Adam Sanders,” He finally said with a resounding baritone as everyone stared at him with a glare.“Can you all stop with the planning and plotting already?” Logan asked, he was tired of them always planning and plotting, and ending up failing woefully,“We are not done cleaning up one mess, we can’t be dragging ourselves into another one.” He said and looked away from all of them.Williams stared at his brother-in-law with flushed skin; at that moment, he felt like breaking his jaw, making sure that the bastard lost a tooth or more, but he sat back on his seat and blessed Logan with a hard glare; the glare was message enough.“Shut up all of you!” Cecil thundered immediately; she was fed up with their
After Leila had stormed out, she had driven herself to a toy store to pick up a few things for Ariel, while deliberating on making Ariel's toy request.She found her way to Adam's street and got stuck at a T-junction, trying to figure out the road. The memories from the day of her rescue were quite shady, and the streets also looked familiar.Sighing to herself, she stopped the car and came down, trying to figure out the right path. She mentally slammed her palm to her face with the realisation that Adam would be mad if he ever came to know she had been out alone without any security,‘I need to follow my guts.’She muttered to herself, got into the vehicle and continued her drive.She took the next turn, hoping and praying very hard that it would lead her to Adam’s house fortunately for her it led her to the street and she recognized the house immediately she saw it,“Good lord, thank you!” She exclaimed, taking a deep breath, She drove in as soon as she got into the gate and was con
Leila watched as Evelyn struggled to control her emotions and her tears and her efforts were all in vain, she stood up from her seat and walked toward her, pulling her in for a hug,She knew there were so many things that were going on in her mind that she needed to talk about.“It is okay Evelyn.” She said to her softly patting her on the back gently,g“I know it is not easy.” She said to her and picked up a tissue from the table and handed it over to Evelyn to wipe her tears. She led Evelyn to have her seat on the chair and sat beside her. She knew whatever Evelyn was going through, she could relate to it.“If you need to talk, I’m such a good listener.” She said softly, placing an arm around her shoulder gently.Evelyn nodded her head and blew her nose into the tissue. She had not had someone to speak to in a very long time. She had been in the house minding Ariel since Adam rescued her. She knew that now was the right time for her to speak up and Leila was a very good option for h
“Hey, Ariel.” Leila called out slowly as she walked towards her to hug her,“Come here.” She said and pulled Ariel in for a hug, slightly turning her head to look at Evelyn who winked back at her, convinced that they had swayed her thoughts away from the moment.“It’s so good to see you again,” Ariel said as he hugged Leila tighter,“Same here darling,” Leila responded and began to walk her back to the couch where she was seated,“Look, I got you something,” Leila told her and went ahead to pick up the gift pack, handing it over to Ariel.“Oh wow, thanks.” Ariel exclaimed excitedly as she rushed in to hug Leila, jumping excitedly as she clutched the parcel to her chest.The child paused for a moment before raising her eyes to look at Leila,“Ms Leila, were you crying as well?” She asked as she noticed the look in her eyes.“No...no, Ariel, I was not.” Leila quickly responded, equally wiping her face,“Trust me, Ariel, I wasn't crying,” She repeated and, this time, tried to put up a
Raul scratched at his temple and slightly darted his eyes at Adrian who still hadn't said anything, noticing his master's friend wasn't going to be of help, he cleared his throat and responded,“Uhmm, he’s in the basement… I mean, the office.” He said immediately and corrected himself swiftly,“What did you mean basement?” Leila asked immediately as she began to notice the bruises all over his face and hands.“What basement, Raul?” She asked him curiously, stood up and began walking towards him,“At the office.” Raul replied almost silently and at that moment, he realised that he let out a little more information than necessary, and knew he had to convince her in some way,Leila's gaze remained on Raul as she ran her eyes over his body suspiciously, “Why do you have bruises all over you?” She asked him and moved closer to him. “Why do you look like you were in a fight?” She threw another question at him while glaring at him, “No…nothing Ma’am.” He responded, trying to keep a strai
Back at Williams' current abode, Louisa walked into the room and met him seated on the bed and staring at his phone,She looked at him with scorn as she was not interested in having any conversation with Williams, but she had to do so to avoid her mother's steaming wrath. “Williams,” Taking a hesitant step, Louisa gently called out, swallowing hard, and promptly wet her lips; this was harder than she thought.“What is it? What do you want, woman?” He snapped at her and she retracted her steps a little, briefly closing her eyes,“Uhmm, Uhmm… I just wanted to say I was sorry.” Louisa responded and lowered her gaze, trying to put out a sorrowful expression as much as she could,“I am such a fool, I know that.” She continued and sniffed for dramatic effect.“Ohh, it’s a good thing you know that,” Williams replied and laughed out shortly,“You are such a big fat fool.” He added and Louisa clenched her fist tightly behind her back, trying not to show her anger and hatred‘Just for my mot
Cecil stood with her mouth agape, and her eyes bewildered; she was not used to Louisa challenging her and was surprised. She felt like shutting her up with a slap but as soon as she broke into tears and fell to her knees, her heart stopped for a moment and she stared at her daughter,“What happened in there, Louisa?” Her brother asked calmly, interrupting her loud sobs as he began to walk closer to her.“He…he… strangled me,” Louisa replied with a shaky voice amidst her tears, “He almost killed me.” She said in her loud voice and held onto her aching throat that was already red. They could see his handprint on her neck,“That son of a bitch.” Logan exclaimed with flaring nostrils, almost wanting to barge into Williams's room; he clenched his fists as he watched Louisa cry out Loud in pain.He knew she was weak but this time, he could see that she had had enough and could not take it anymore, hence her blowouts,Logan knew Williams must have gone far this time, considering how erra
Raul drove the car in silence as both Leila and Ariel sat quietly, staring at the streets. Leila was nervous as she did not know what to expect because the last time they met was at the hospital and it did not end up well,Ariel, on the other hand, was very excited to see her dad and visit him in his basement. She knew her father was some sort of Alpha and controlled a lot of men but did not know exactly how or where are father was carrying out his operations. She thought it was very intriguing and could not wait to get a glimpse of it,She had read a lot of books about men who ran basements and was very excited to find out. Raul drove into the basement and as soon as Leila raised her head, she immediately recognized the building and began to panic.“Raul, why did you bring us here?” She asked as she sat upright on the seat and turned to stare fully at Raul,“Uhmm, because Young Master is here,” He said and turned to open the door to leave but Leila grabbed him by the arm, back into
