He glanced around the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Adam that had been called,“Maybe it’s another Adam.” He thought to himself, with trembling hands he reached out for his glass, then thought better of it as he shook his head and closed his eyes briefly, He opened his eyes to finally see who was being clapped for, and he lifted his gaze to see who was getting the standing ovation, his wide eyes met Adam,At that moment, Williams felt like the ground should open for him, or he could fly and yank Adam's head off his shoulders, his wide eyes remained unblinking as he stared,He felt like his greatest nightmare was coming to pass; right in front of him, Adam Sanders, his number one enemy was excelling and being celebrated before him, it was like Deja Vu.“No no no no,” He mumbled to himself, his eyes shifting and not focusing on anything, occasionally slapping his forehead as he was lost in thought,“I need to do something, think…William…think”Williams berated himself, as his
At Adam's exit, the club room was in an uproar, with people exclaiming what just happened,“I can't believe this!" “Is that man truly Raine's lost heir?" “That cannot be Nathaniel Raine, it's not possible!" A woman glared at the man that had spoken, and rolled her eyes fiercely at him,“Were you at the press conference, he wasn't formally introduced to anyone, so nobody has seen his face!”Another woman sneered,“Well, that's the more reason to disbelieve his claim! He could be an imposter!" A few people nodded in agreement while still trying to understand what had happened. All their talks did nothing on Lord Ledger who was seething, with spit building at the corner of his mouth,He was furious at the fact that he had missed an opportunity to get on the good side of a man who was presumed to be the most powerful man in their country, even if his money was confirmed, he still wasn't entirely pleased,Nostrils flaring, he took a quick glance around his club room, his eyes roaming o
Where Williams had struggled and battled with his car, Adam on leaving the club got into his car with a high chin and a wide smile. As Adam got into his car, he felt a feeling of satisfaction run through his body. It has been quite a long time since he had felt this way. He had left that idiot Williams at the mercy of Lord Ledger who seemed like someone who would do anything just to get allies that would make him more powerful,Adam glanced at the briefcase on his seat and smiled, he finally had all the herbs that he would need to heal his daughter and also to heal Leila’s father as he had promised her. He brought down the windows of his car just so he could feel the breeze run through his body. He turned on the radio so he could listen to some music,Something in him felt a sense of happiness and that made him smile. He decided on the spot to go to the hospital where the girls’ father was so he could start up his healing process before going home. Dumbbell was a few hours' journe
Adam kept his eyes on Leila for a while, with a smile on his face, that reached his eyes, when their eyes met, Leila's cheeks turned darker and Adam winked at her causing her to flush further,He picked up a burette by the side of the bed and emptied a tiny bottle of liquid into it, plucked out some of the herbs he got and added it to the liquid in the burette and covered it for a while until the liquid melted the herb totally. Next, Adam picked up an injection syringe and pulled the liquid into the syringe, he opened up the man’s shirt, and pressed his chest till he found a vein, and then injected the entire liquid into his chest,Almost immediately, Mr Jameson's body began to vibrate violently on the bed, but Adam calmly placed his hands on the man's chest and held him down to the bed, until the vibration stopped and the man became calm once more. Leila's father's heartbeat became faster, Adam could feel his pulse, and he also noticed the temperature getting back to normal. Touchi
As he drove his car, so many thoughts flooded his mind as to why the call sounded so urgent,He hadn't been to Sage Robinson's den since he last saw Amber and the last fight he had, he wasn't looking forward to going back considering he had almost lost Amber there, but he knew his going back was inevitable.“Why does he need me?” What happened in the basement?”He came up with varying questions in his mind, and rubbed at his face,“Was there another attack?”All these questions flooded his mind as he tried to figure out what he was needed for. In no time he arrived at his destination, tired and weary but alert for any looming danger,He took a secret entrance into the basement which is located in the woods just in case there was an attack of any sort, he was too tired to risk anything,This way meant him driving through the woods, after several kilometres of driving and trying to manoeuvre his way through the woods, he got to the secret entrance. The basement was under so he had to c
After his embarrassment at the club, Williams had just managed to find his way home, on getting home, he met Cecil and a somewhat worried Louisa in the living room,She had been a little worried when he didn’t come home last night after he left saying he was going to get some info on Adam, for a moment, she had entertained the thought that Adam had done something to her soon-to-be ex-husband,Biting her lips, she turned to glance at her mother who didn't seem to be fazed in any way,“What if he bumped into Adam and they got into a fight and Adam harmed him?” She asked her mother in a very worrisome tone.“Then he’d be a coward if he lets that loser harm him,” Cecil said with a straight face as if she wasn’t worried about him. “He might be in bed with another woman and you are here worrying about him,” Cecil retorted and let out a long hiss.”The expression on Louisa’s face changed as she knew her mother could be right; one of Williams' bad habits was womanising but then again, in t
As Adam left Sage Robinson's den, he sighed, letting out a deep breath, it was a breath of relief. For a moment, he was worried something might have happened at the basement that made sage Robinson give him a call and that would have delayed him from healing his daughter,On that, he could not compromise as that was the most important thing to him at the moment. He had other important things that he needed to focus on but that was the major one. He wanted Ariel to get well so they could go back to having their father-and-daughter moments together. He missed her so badly and he would do and give anything just to make her get better.As he approached his home, he noticed a vehicle that had been following him, he kept thinking the vehicle would take another turn but he noticed the vehicle didn’t turn, his antenna stood on alert, as it dawned on him that something was up.“Who dares follow me” He immediately thought to himself and swiftly he took the next turn that was not heading to hi
Ariel vomited severally and her eyes opened for some minutes. She looked up and saw her dad and she tried to talk.“M.…mama....” she said before collapsing back on the bed. He looked at her smiled, and used his hand to ruffle her hair.“Very soon, you’ll be fine baby.” He said and immediately called for Evelyn.“Evelyn, he called out.”“Yes sir” she responded with a smile as she had heard Ariel try to speak. “She tried to speak, sir.” She said with tears rolling down her eyes.She had been Ariel’s nanny since she was a little girl, she was separated from her when her mother left to get married to Williams. She loves Ariel like her own daughter, hence her tears.“Yes,” he responded.“Clean her up, she’s going to keep throwing up for the next couple of days.” He said.“That means she’s responding to treatment.” He added and left the room.He headed straight to his bedroom and immediately took off his jacket. He opened the drawer and picked up a cigar. He needed it to cool himself down
