Leila couldn't believe her ears, she couldn't believe what she just heard, her throat was clogged from the brewing tears as she gaped at Adam, her hands almost trembling,

“You mean it?”

She asked Adam with teary eyes; Adam did not want her to cry, so he pulled her in for a hug immediately and patted her back gently.

“Thank you, Adam.” She said as he wrapped her hands around him tightly.

He replied with a grunt as her hand was pressing against his injured back.

“Ouch sorry.”

She said, pulling away from the hug as she noticed that she was pressing against his wound.

“Tell me the truth, Adam.” She began as she stared at him with a raised brow. She lowered her tone, making sure Ariel was not listening in on the conversation,

“How did you get injured?”

Leila asked while staring into his eyes, making sure he failed at every effort to cook up a story. He knew that at this point, he had to come clean as she would not buy any other story apart from the truth.

“Uhm, you remember the lady wh

Other passersby and road users stared at them and wondered why they were standing by the side of the road as though they did not have a destination,“Are you headed north?” A taxi driver who parked in front of them asked.“We are headed down your butt hole.” Cecil thundered at him as she stared at the car angrily.“Hey woman, mind your language.” The man thundered back at her, pointing his fingers at her,Cecil became furious and charged at the man’s car angrily and used her elbow to bang on his windscreen angrily, leaving a crack in it,“Mother, why did you do that?!” Louisa asked her mother as she knew that acting alone could cost them more woe,“Shut you

Stylishly lifting her head, she quickly ducked it down when she saw the amount of the crowd that was watching, “Sir…sir,” Louisa called out, stammering “Please we are sorry. I'm sure my mother didn't mean it” She spoke up, as she tried pleading with the man, but he ignored her as he kept on spewing extremities. With force, he turned and glared at her, “She doesn’t seem like it?” He yelled and turned back to Cecil. Cecil had been silenced by the man’s resounding slap and was shut f

She continued glaring at him, but they weren't in the right place for him to explain himself, so rather than doing that, he turned to face Louisa and Logan, her very useless children,“You both would stand there and watch that man hit your mother?” He asked them with scorn as he looked at Cecil, who had her arms crossed to her chest and was spewing profanities.The onlookers had fizzled out after the hot slap Cecil had delivered to Stephan's face, the area was left with all four of them.Heaving a breath, Stefan calmly walked towards her, raising his hands as he did, to show he wasn't any threat,“Let me help you to the car," he urged her, and she rolled her eyes at him, huffing and puffing, but she let him

    “Dad, that was tough.” Ariel said as she stood up and began walking towards her father,“Yeah, it was.”Adam responded, wiping the sweat off her forehead,“That was quite impressive for a first try,” He said and smiled at her as he noticed the look on her face. She didn’t seem impressed with her performance as she missed so many shots at first.“Listen Ariel.” He said, pulling her closer,“You wanna know why it was difficult for you to get the first shots?” He asked her and she nodded immediately in response to him,“Because you were not filled with the right amount of energy.” He replied and she stared at him with creased brows, she did not understand what and where her father was heading. She felt very powerful until her father drained her with his multiple moves. “I know what you are thinking Ariel," he said with a smile, and moved her to the front of one of the training dummies in the auditorium, placing both of his hands on her shoulder,“Imagine that it is an enemy,” He said

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.

    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!" Adam turned towards the direction and wasn't surprised to see a snarling Ruth with a downcast Mira stand

    “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.
