Mr Durmont couldn't process what the vice manager was saying, he was too stubborn to, and he stared at Adam who was smirking, and back at the Vice manager, trying to make sense of what the man had spoken.

The words 'Multiple accounts, billions’ kept running through his mind and he cast an observatory glance at Adam, Adam surely didn't look like one who had money not to talk of being rich, the theory was absurd to him,

As he lifted his head, his eyes came in contact with Adam who smirked and tilted his head to the side,

“I believe you have a bargain to fulfil Mr Durmont, the word keeper" Adam taunted, and the man reddened further,

“It's time to honour your word as I have honoured mine” he went on, not minding the tomato-faced man that was Mr Durmont,

Far ahead the bank's vice manager was still struggling with himself, on one hand, he had a mob to please, on the other hand, the one individual that was being attacked could trump each of their accounts. Mr Durmont could see the struggle on the man's face, and intensified his threat further,“We would be forced to involve the authorities if you do not do as we've requested", he declared with his nose in the air,

He's a criminal who escaped prison!" Whispers quickly erupted amongst the crowd as they looked at Adam with varying disdain and sneers, At the stranger’s mention, everyone turned their eyes on him with questions and hatred in their eyes, causing Adam to sigh and try to subtly survey the crowd,It was only someone who knew him who could possibly say that, but unfortunately, he couldn't see the culprit as Logan had purposely said it to the hearing of a few people he suspected to have loud mouths.Mr Durmont was undoubtedly smug as he sneered at him,“Haha!!! It's obvious you're a criminal. You already look and act like one! Only a fool would have believed your tales!” he exclaimed, then turned to the vice manager,“What are we waiting for?! Let's ge

General Olson was right, it was a small town, but as small as it was, it was beautiful,He was so engrossed in the beautiful forms of nature that he did not catch a quick glimpse of the little crowd of three people that were by the roadside, two of them moving frantically, while someone seemed to be lying on the ground,He registered the scene in his subconscious but hadn't fully sunk in until the cab sped a little down the road, blinking his eyes, he sat up on his seat and immediately tapped the driver,“Did you see that?”“See what Sir?” The driver asked, looking at him through the rearview mirror,Adam glanced a little to the back, and then faced the driver again,“We gotta go back.

Now that someone is here and willing to help out you're acting unreasonable?! Wake up, Joan!!!" She seethed as she snapped at her sister who only sneered in response and hissed loudly.Ignoring her sister, she heaved a breath and faced Adam calmly,“Go on, and do whatever it takes…” her voice cracked some more and she expelled a breath, closing her eyes tightly before continuing,"Just please help him if you can…He can't die" It was a terrific scene for Adam, watching siblings fight over who got to handle their father,Adam nodded his head, he could understand her fears and plight.

    September 29th 2009, “W-here's where's m-my Angel?” As Jason opened his eyes, he looked around, dazed. The eyes felt too heavy to be opened, but he refused to close them. 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. Cecil was speechless as she gaped with an open mouth; she couldn't believe Adam had found out about that; they had contacted a very highly profiled criminal to carry out the foul play, and she had been certain there was no way Adam would be able to get his hands on that lady.“What sort of ac
