Silence rang in the air as everyone gaped at him, whether in shock or disbelief or a little of both, he couldn't decipherLeah stared at him with her mouth wide open, her mouth kept opening and closing, in an attempt to speak, her look reminded Adam of a fish outside water, and he found himself chuckling lightly at the image in his head. Noah, was the first to break the silence, as he continued looking at Adam, without blinking“Is this some sort of a joke? Today isn't April fool’s you know? The only reason I'm sure we all aren't laughing is out of respect.” he paused as he continued looking at Adam sceptically “Don't be delusional bro” He watched as his parents and Leah nodded their heads in agreement, and couldn't help but hide his smirk“Believe it or not, you all are looking at the legal heir of Raine’s conglomerate.” he declared again, heading to where he had previously kept the stuff Raul had previously given him to show them as proof, picking the metal envelope and his phone,
The room smelt and looked like thorough opulence, Adam couldn’t help but stare as he admired the sitting room, it was simple, yet luxury spoke volumes. The chairs were of white leather with gold trimming, beautiful polished oak wood lined the floor, with expensive artworks and artefacts hanging on the wall. The room was beautiful but still looked powerful. A maid, dressed in a uniform of black and white, walked in with a tray filled with dainty ceramic cups and a jug, which Adam presumed to be tea balanced on her hand, placing it on the stool beside Adam, she took a bow and left the sitting room.Adam subconsciously watched her as she left, Raul walked in, and the maid bowed to him as she hurried to her duty. Raul walked towards Adam as he bowed forward, standing before Adam, he proceeded to tell him, “Young Master, your family has been settled into their new home”Adam smiled at Raul, making his hand into a fist, he stretched it towards Raul, who looked at the hand confusingly, mak
Adam stood a few feet away from Reels Limited, as he silently watched his employees going about their morning activities, he had been to see his grandfather last night after settling his family into their new home. There, his grandfather had informed him of the issue the financial company was facing, Thompson Raine, his grandfather had given him some files with the current history of the company and had tasked Adam to handle it, in the words of Thompson Raine, it was his first official task as the presiding CEO of their conglomerate. He had purposely not worn any of his new outfits today, choosing to rather go in his old clothes. His grandfather had sent a message to the manager, informing him of Adam showing up. Raul had insisted on coming along, but he had declined, walking gracefully and with purpose, he walked towards the entrance, and two security guards stood in charge. As he approached, he saw one of the guards glance at him, and signal to his partner in signs, at the exchan
At the sound of the voice, Adam smiled smugly to himself, things were about to get a little heated and fun, that he was certain of. He had chosen to come in old clothes because he knew Logan worked here and would choose to thoroughly embarrass Adam when he saw him. Adam, on the other hand, wanted to make his revenge as sweet as possible. He smirked just as Logan approached himself and the bald man, and as he did Logan sneered, pure hatred laced his eyes, refusing to acknowledge Adam, he turned to Oliver, the bald man. “What is this poor man doing here? Why are you fraternising with him!? Do you want to tarnish the image of this company, or do you not know what today is!?” Logan demanded of the man as he silently glared at Adam without acknowledging him, turning back to look at Oliver, he continued“Do you not know that this fellow is an ex-convict? Well if you do not know, now you know, this fellow just escaped from prison, that's the only plausible reason why he's out of there. I'm
Logan groaned in pain on the floor, he felt utterly humiliated, though in pain, he ached to get back at Adam, hiding his pain, gritting his teeth, he cleared his throat, and spat the phlegm on Adam’s face. Adam looked on with disgusting colouring his face, in retaliation, he squeezed the discarded arm tight, and as he did, Logan cried out in horror and pain, his teeth clattering Without hesitation, Adam tore out a piece of Logan’s expensive shirt and used it to wipe the spit off his face, he squeezed the cloth when he had cleaned his face, and stuffed Logan’s mouth with it, and with a smirk on his face informed him“I prefer you when you don't talk, you're less annoying that way” Patting the injured arm with force, he got on his feet awaiting Oliver. Adam faced the building, and as he did he noticed the stunned security guard who was still on his knees, his eyes seemed to pop out of their socket as he watched the exchange between Adam and Logan. “Get back to your post this minute”
Wasting no time, Douglas hurried towards Adam, and promptly got on his knees, hanging on to the hem of Adam’s trousers, he didn't care if they were old“Please Sir, I'm sorry. Please forgive my ignorance and incompetence, I promise to do better Sir. Please, Sir, do not be angry” apologising repeatedly as he grasped Adam’s stiff leg, Adam tried shaking his leg off his grip, but Douglas was adamant, he figured he had fucked up royally. “We were expecting an important personality today, but I didn't know it was you, if I did I would have addressed you properly Sir, please forgive my immaturity and ineptitude.”Logan, standing a few feet away could not understand what was happening, he couldn't fathom why his powerful boss would be cowering and begging his useless ex-brother-in-law“What are you doing Sir?” he muttered to himself in disbelief, as he disapprovingly stared at him He couldn't take it anymore, therefore he found himself rushing despite his pain, towards his boss and the usel
Logan looked on at Adam's retreating back in confusion, who the hell was Adam to threaten him, and what in God's name had come over him, giving him the guts to threaten and speak to him in that manner? "To hell with you Adam. There's absolutely nothing that you can do, convicted bastard. Ain't nobody displacing me from my job, not even you twat, I'd like to know w who the hell is giving you the morale to talk to me in the way you have done, and to humiliate me as much."He struggled to his feet, gaining a bit of his stamina back, he staggered lightly towards the entrance of the office, and as he did he thought aloud to himself, 'Let me see anyone, who would dare stop me from entering'Reaching the guard, who had an apprehensive look on him, Logan sneered at him as he approached. With hidden fear in his eyes, the guard walked towards him, “Mr Martins, you heard the order of that kind man, so please Sir, I ask that you leave this premises this moment” The guard approached him, and in
Logan felt giddy inside as he watched the car being parked. The person they had all been waiting for had finally arrived, and he was sure the man would have Adam thrown back into jail for trying to impersonate him in such a shabby manner. Unable to stop himself, he jumped up in excitement, a grin evident on his face“See Sir, I told you, this is obviously the person we were all waiting for and not that convicted impersonator” Pacing the ground, Douglas could not react nor blink as he looked on at the car, which was a limited model and even seemed to be customized. Both men watched in awe, their mouths opened, as the occupant of the car got down from the car. The man was dressed in a lovely white suit that screamed elegant, money and class. The jacket of his suit wasn't the conventional style, but a different one and it did suit the man, he looked like he was made for the suit, even the bowler hat that he wore spoke of too much money. Turning to glance at Douglas, Logan smirked as h
