Is it because of the Jameson girl?” Amber asked, while Adam stood, still not facing her, he sighed and shut his eyes briefly before responding,“Leila.” He corrected her as he did not find Amber referring to his woman as the Jameson girl very respectful,“Leila is her name.” He corrected,“So you love her?” She asked him, her voice breaking while her throat felt clogged,“Adam, please don’t do this to me! Adam, please do not hurt me like this!” she paused and bit hard on her lips, tasting metal,“I don’t deserve this!” Amber wailed, almost hiccuping, yet Adam stood rigidly, not facing her, although his heart was breaking within because he saw Amber like family and didn't want to lose her,Amber said tearfully but Adam stood there without looking back at her.“I fucking took a bullet for you!” She yelled at him.“No…Amber…no.” He retorted immediately, his eyes going red while his chest kept rising and falling,“You took a bullet because you wanted to, you didn't do it for me.” He corr
Adam stood still, with a stoic expression on his face, Dreymond smirked and then gestured to the seat right across,“Have a seat" Dreymond attempted to get up, and his legs wobbled, blinking he stretched his arm out for a handshake but fell right onto his seat, belching loudly,“As expected, drunk again" Adam muttered with a smirk, before wiping his nostrils with his thumb“Yeahh,” Dreymond responded and busted into a deep belly laughter,“That is how some of us get through the difficulties of life.” He added, belching loudly once again, causing Adam and his crew to snap their heads backwards, Dreymond noticed the scorned expression on Adam’s face and began to laugh very loudly. He knew Adam was disgusted by his behaviour but he really did not have so much that he could do to him, he'd have to tolerate him, as they were a team.“Dreymond…” Adam started, and began tapping the table repeatedly, staring at him and at the lady who was beside him,Seeing Adam's expression, Dreymond nodd
Leila, who had slept almost the entire day woke up and realised it was past midnight, she sat up on her bed, staring into the dark, “Why didn’t she wake me up?” She murmured to herself as she looked around.She tried getting out of bed but her legs failed her as she felt very tired. She had been sleeping for hours and she still woke up feeling extremely tired.“Why am I so tired?” She questioned herself as she yawned.She tried getting out of bed but she felt a heavy banging on her head and fell back down, placing her hand on her head,She had gotten a headache from the excessive cry that she had done today and she needed to get a warm bath so she could feel better.“What could he be doing now? Where could he be?” She questioned herself as the thought of Adam crossed her mind.“He probably will be with Ariel.” Leila thought and smiled as she thought about Ariel,“I love her.” She muttered, picturing Ariel’s beautiful eyes in her thoughts. She sat on her bed and thought about the st
Adam stared at Raul without saying anything, smiling slowly as he gazed at his servant turned friend and confidant, his neck tipping back a little while he gazed,Beyond words, he appreciated Raul for all that he had done and been doing for him, he had practically left his grandfather’s duties to help him out, with Marcus’ blessings of course, but even at that, he was grateful for the gift of Raul and Adrian as well.Despite the fact that he had been betrayed by the woman he had considered the love of his life, through that betrayal, he had met and connected with people that he wouldn't have dared to dream of connecting with. Amber was one of such persons, and though his heart ached at how their relationship was beginning to fade, he couldn't bring himself to love her the way she wanted to be lovedRaul’s clearing of throat snapped his attention back, and his cheeks turned crimson a little, although he probably wouldn't admit it, but he was impressed by Raul mentioning the case, bring
Leila got out of bed and headed straight into her bathroom, she needed to have a good bath and scrub off the tears and the bad energy off her,Her head was banging, and it was a result of all the crying, and the stress from being kidnapped and the aftermath of it.She hopped into the shower happily and turned on the water, Leila’s mood was getting better, oblivious to the danger her lover had come close to. As she bathed, she sang; she was unapologetically in love and was ready to fight for the love.She had been in love and also an abusive relationship and now she had a man who was a protector and an alpha, she was ready to give him the world,Enjoying her moment, she sang at the top of her lungs, not knowing that her sister Joan who was home could hear her sing so heartily,“Love!” Joan muttered grimly as she faced the wall. She had returned from the hospital late the previous night, and she knew her sister would be already asleep, so she went straight to bed.Her father had scolde
“Yes Sis, Yes!” Joan said excitedly as she felt her sister had forgiven her,Leila took her swell time before responding, and then smiled,“Then you have to apologise to Adam.” She said, and Joan dropped her hands abruptly as soon as she mentioned Adam.“Really, sis, really?” Joan asked with blazing eyes, as she retracted her steps away from her sister.“You are really going to make this about him?” Joan asked, still glaring at her, almost fuming,“Yes Joan, this is indeed about him.” Leila retorted, and turned back to the mirror,“You disrespected, insulted and accused an innocent man of being a paedophile. Do you know the implications of that?” Leila demanded, slamming the brush in her hand onto the table; standing up, she walked towards Joan, who stood shaking from foot to foot, with creased brows, not knowing what to reply to her or even say. Leila knew Joan hated Adam and was not willing to apologise to him, but she knew she had to make her sister do what was right,“Do you kn
Williams returned from his sneaky journey where he had stormed out, and stormed back into the house, totally ignoring the occupants,Cecil, who had been expecting him the whole night, so she could ask about whatever updates he had on the big dog, but her wait was practically in vain,“Where have you been?” Cecil thundered at him with scorn as soon as Williams barged in, not bothering to greet him, but Williams ignored her demand and headed into his room.Fury enveloped Cecil as she glared at his retreating figure before running in his direction and intercepting him by the door,“Hey! Stop there!" Cecil demanded with a shriek, standing before him and blocking his path. Raising her head to glare at his reddening eyes, she glared into them,“Where have you been?! Where were you?” She thundered at him, welcoming him with her multiple questions.Williams clenched his fist by his side as he glared at her,“Do not question me, woman!” He retorted, trying to shove Cecil, “Shut up, you fool
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
