The scream was a slight distraction and Adam huffed before turning slightly to see who it was that had interrupted his thoughts, and he wasn't surprised to realise who it was; Cecil ran onto the rooftop to see her daughter covered in blood, as well as Adam's hand equally covered in her daughter's blood, and she let out another shriek, “What the hell have you done to my child you psycho?!” Without waiting for any explanation, she rushed at him and dragged a fistful of his shirt, “You tried to kill my daughter?! I'll make sure I kill you first before you accomplish your evil plans, you deranged man!" She bellowed, not minding Adam's lack of words, before anyone could react or yank her off him, Cecil raised her palms and landed a slap on Adam's face, “How dare you!" She thundered, just as her hand made a loud connection with Adam's cheeks. He looked at Cecil and placed a hand on his cheeks as he watched her display her craziness. “What are you staring at me for?!” With her chest
At Joan's departure, Leila looked over at Adam, she could see the stress all over his face and couldn't help wondering what he had been up to. She felt sad that his ex-wife and her mother didn't want him to have peace, and knew they probably would be back,“Are you okay?” She asked him and went in for a hug,“Yeah,” he answered, before giving her a small smile,“Are you okay?” He asked her, placing his hands on her hair.“I am.” She said and hugged him even tighter.She felt safe being in his hands and didn’t want to let go. “We need to be careful.” Adam began.“They’re after you now, they will keep trying to kill you just to get to me.” He said.“You need to be very careful and cautious.” He added,“I would handle them before they do anything crazy.” He assured with a smirk on his face, his mind churning with a perfectly crafted plan.“I will be careful,” Leila responded,“What can I do to help, they are all after your life, and I wanna be able to help. I want to be able to support
Adam could feel his blood boiling, he was enraged, and rightfully so,“How dare they threaten me?!" He muttered and nearly slammed his foot on the car, he was furious but still didn't want to lose his calm. He was going to get back at them, there was no escaping that, “I could go to the mafia base and wipe them all out.” he mumbled with clenched fist,“It's easy for me to deal with all of them, with no question asked" Raul watched as Adam battled with himself, and mentally decided to stand by watching him, he knew not to get close at this time as he could tell his Young Master was furious.Raul wasn't entirely comfortable with his young master fishing out the mafias, as it could rightfully be a trap to draw them into their web, he contemplated calling Adam's grandfather or even Adrian to talk some sense into him, but thought better of it.And so he stood there almost dumbfounded as he stared at his young master display his anger, Adam could kill anyone who stood in his way, so he st
The atmosphere was almost silent and cold as both men entered the den, the looks on everyone’s face was odd, Adam could feel their anger and displeasure as he looked at everyone, from Old Man Thompson to Sage Robinson and was a little shocked to see Amber as well,She was the only one with an indifferent look on her face as she stared at him, Adam walked across the room and went straight to sit on a chair while Raul stood right by his side. Raul was loyal to Adam no matter the situation and this one was not an exception.There was a long moment of silence as everyone stood there and looked at Adam. They all seemed to be diffusing the situation, and had refused to speak.The room was tense as Adam waited for one of them to break the ice, sitting aloof with his arms crossed on his chest. Old Man Thompson looked at his protegee and hid a smile before huffing,“Adam…” he exhaled, before continuing, “Why did you attack the mafia’s base?” he asked, breaking the silence.Adam raised his head
After arriving at their house, Cecil was tending to an injured Louisa who was groaning in so much pain, she had never been shot before and she felt it like torture,“This is the most painful shit ever, after childbirth.” She said tearfully as her mother and the local nurse who was invited continued to care for her.They had gotten the nurse at the last minute as they couldn't take her to the hospital, because they’d be asked to give a statement to the police and that would incur more trouble for them. They had illegally invaded Jameson's house and she had an illegal firearm that could get her jailed, and so they decided to stick to being treated at home.“I’d be back tomorrow morning to administer her next dose of injections.” The nurse said as she stood up to leave. Cecil barely nodded her head, as she walked her out of the house.While laying in pain, Louisa was filled with a new level of hate and jealousy for Leila, as she recalled the event of the day, she looked at her arm and g
As Adam left the den, he exhaled deeply while running his hand through his hair, he yearned for some peace and quiet just to clear his jumbled mind,Walking down the hallway, he could see the activities going on in the basement, and the training of the armed men, he also noticed that the security had seemed tightened this time around, and he knew it had to do with the mafia and their threats.Sage Robinson had to double the men guarding all the entrances and exits of the basement. He had also added me to the secret entrance as he wasn't taking any chances with the mafia; not knowing when they would strike,He felt a pang of guilt within him as he watched the whole scenario, he didn't want any harm to come to anyone because of his fight. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't bother to look to see who was coming behind him when he heard footsteps. Swearing within him to do whatever it took to protect the lives of these innocent men who could be roped into his problems.He hadn't
Adam looked at both of the men standing before him, he needed to test both their skills, grinning slightly, he turned to the first fighter,“Now let’s test your reflexes, let’s see how well you can handle your reflexes.” He informed him,When the man stepped forward, Adam equally nodded to the second man, giving his approval for yet another duel,“Give him all you’ve got.” He yelled and stepped aside for the two men to battle it out,He watched closely as the two men fought, the first man was obviously stronger but the second man was faster as it was easy for him to dodge the moves of the first man.He looked at the men and smirked, enjoying the moment. He found that he enjoyed watching his men train and could also improve by training with them. 'This is a good opportunity to look out for a new team leader.' He thought to himself as he continued to watch the men battle it out.It was a sight to behold as he watched them closely. In no time, the first man punched the second man in the
Silence met him at the end of the call, although he thought he heard Evelyn breathing at the other end, and with the rate his heart was beating against his chest, Adam feared it would erupt, but still he held on, “Evelyn?" He called out, almost in a broken voice and let out a sigh of relief when he heard Evelyn's voice,“Sir, sh….she’s awake,” Evelyn said without any preamble, her voice cracking as she spoke.Adam felt he had heard wrong, and placed his finger into his ear hole, in an attempt to clear off any wax that might be blocking his hearing,“Huhh…” He muttered slowly, his knees beginning to feel like jelly,“Sir….Ar…Ari…. Ariel, she’s awake, just now.” Evelyn informed him tearfully, struggling to deliver the good news despite the tears clogged in her throat, while she spoke Adam's knees buckled and he fell to the ground on his knees, tears flowing freely from his eyes.“She’s asking to see you, and asking for her mum,”“I didn't know how to respond to that part, but she wan
