Vance tightened his grip on the old man’s neck and the old man could not fight back as his hands had been tied tight against the wall,He kept strangling the old man until he began to cough, coughing intensely and he began to bleed from his nose and mouth. Vance wasn't bothered by it, and he grinned smugly before he let go of Old Man Thompson's neck, his head instantly hitting the wall hard.Fear gripped Amber and chills ran down her spine, she had always known Vance the viper to be a dangerous bastard and knew he could double-cross Adam at any point. Her tongue itched to speak, but she refrained herself, if the bastard could get to the old man, as well as Adam, he would make mincemeat out of her, it was no news that there was no love lost between them. Biting her lips hard, she kept mute, her eyes and lips stinging.As if Old Man Thompson could sense her fears, he opened his eyes and signalled Amber with them to find a place to hide, Vance was leaving no prisoners and could get to he
“Amber!!!” Adam and Old Man Thompson exclaimed at the same, just as Adam raised his head to find the culprit,Before Adam could say a word, Raul and Adrian barged into the room and Adrian immediately jumped at the man, before using his elbow to break his wide pipe, causing him to choke and die.Adam, Raul and Old Man Thompson hurriedly ran towards Amber who was lying on the floor in a pool of blood,Old Man Thompson placed a hand on her chest to feel her heartbeat, as he needed to make sure she was still alive, the bullet had hit a sensitive area; her midriff section.“She’s alive!” He exclaimed and took a deep breath, gradually releasing his pent-up breath, struggling to his feet he “Get her to my table.”He immediately ordered, and Raul lifted her straight onto the table, as Old Man Thompson resumed work on her, trying to get the bullet out of her.While they stood watching the old man trying to heal Amber, Adam became weak and drowsy as he had lost a lot of blood. He tried to fi
Leila, who had been crying since Adam left the hospital sat on grass in the garden as she needed to be alone, away from everyone. Sighing to herself, she stood up abruptly and went straight into her father’s room, “I would like to go home, Papa.” She said to her father who had been staring at her gloomy eyes. “You have been crying, Leila.” He said to her while sitting up, his heartstrings tugged at her countenance, “Papa, get some rest, I’ll be back in no time,” Leila responded, deflecting his words, “The driver is already here and he will take me home.” She added, trying to convince her father that she would be fine. “I will be back soon papa, I just need to clear my head.” She said and leaned in to give her father a peck on the cheeks. “By papa!” She said waving at her father and trying to feign a smile. “Leila!” Her father called out. “Do not cry anymore.” Her father to her with a pale face, he knew that she was hurt but he did not like seeing his daughter cry. It broke his
Williams’ home had been engulfed with silence as they all refused to speak to each other, it was as though the house was on fire and every single plot of theirs had backfired,Louisa who was sitting in the study was focused on her phone intensely while Williams stared at her from the bar. He was having a bottle of beer with a cigarette in his mouth while glaring at Louisa intensely.‘What is she up to?’ He wondered to himself as he watched her closely, since the previous fight he had not had a conversation with her, and needed to know what had consumed her that had given her the bravery to fight him back.She had to either be seeing someone else, which he wouldn't be surprised as she had betrayed her husband for him, or she had swallowed a herb that gave her audacious wings he mused to himself, ‘The gut is surely from someone or something’ he muttered with a nod and puffed his cigar.Cecil sat, staring blankly into the air, not paying attention to anyone, trying to put her thoughts t
At Dreymond’s basement, Old man Thompson had administered some treatment to Adam’s injured back and had given him some antidote for the poison. He administered the poison antidote to make sure the poison did not eat further into his body parts,He moved to a conscious Amber, the bullet had been pulled out of her and she was lying on the bed, looking very weak and pale.The old man stared at her with gleaming eyes and a satisfied smile while he watched her gently drifting her eyes open,“Amber.” He called out gently as he watched her.Groaning, Amber turned slightly to gaze at him,“How is Adam?” She asked, her voice raspy and croaky, her throat felt parched. “How are you feeling?” Old man Thompson asked her instead, ignoring her question about Adam, he knew she was in love with Adam and he also knew that the superiority in Adam did not make him love her as much as she wanted, and that was why she took the bullet for him. To prove her love for him.“I don't know.” She said with a whi
“What are you exploring? What are you exploring Adam?” The old man asked as he began walking towards his bed, “Aren’t you just healing, you are supposed to be resting.” He scolded Adam who sat there, staring at the old man blankly. He expected the old man to know him better than anyone else, he expected the old man to know he was not one to wallow in his pain and dwell in it, “I would heal, but not on this bed.” He replied to Old Man Thompson, who was pinching at his throat while staring at Adam, Heaving a sigh, Adam turned to Raul, “How is Amber?” He asked, “She is doing just fine, she is awake now.” The old man replied swiftly with a very convincing tone, trying to make sure Adam would not insist on going to see her. “Take me to her.” He ordered Raul and stood up immediately. “Adam.” Old Man Thompson called out immediately, getting in front of him, “You should get some rest, Your body needs it.” Adam paused for a little before looking at his toe and back at
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
