While Adam was back in town, sipping his tea and minding his business, Williams his number one nemesis had just gotten a call from one of his associates on some information about Adam,“Louisa!” he called out, hearing his voice Louisa sneered and rolled her eyes before plastering a fake saccharine smile on her face,“Heyyy,” she responded to him while mixing a bowl of batter in her hand,“I just got some information about Adam’s whereabouts.”His message got her attention, and she raised her brows at him, completely forgetting the work she had ongoing,“What did you get?” She asked curiously, dropping the bowl of batter on the table. Williams smirked a little and was tempted to keep the information to himself, but he spoke up,“A few days ago, he was captured by some of the seven brothers of the coast, and they are the most dangerous and powerful fraternity in the country after the mafias. If he’s in trouble with them then he’s in deep shit,” he said with a proud smile on his face, h
Louisa stood beside the building, and it suddenly began to rain, knowing better than to go back into the shop, she hurdled herself against the wall, not daring to go back into the coffee shop as everyone in the shop already thought she was crazy,She kept trying to reach William but it was to no avail, it rang severally but he wasn’t picking up and now she was drenched in the rain. She decided to call her mother if she could be of any help, She dialled her mother’s number and it rang severally before she finally picked up,“Hi Mother,” Louisa greeted Cecil with a fearful tone, “Hey Louisa, what do you want, how are you? Cecil asked grumpily,“Not so good mother,” was Louisa's response as she wiped her tears with the back of her palm. “What happened? Where are you?” Cecil asked, beginning to sound a little worried, “I’m at Osbourne Street Mother,” She said.“What the hell are you doing thirteen kilometres away from your home? Are you out of your mind or what?” Cecil yelled, her vo
After his last encounter with General Olson, they had exchanged addresses and knowing fully well that the general had been in charge of the auction and was well informed about such things, he decided to see the man about getting every other herb that he needed,He drove his car into the premises of General Olsen’s office and parked his car, got out and walked into the building and straight into his office,Nobody dared to question him because they all knew about him as the General had pre-informed them besides the general never questioned Adam Sanders,As Adam walked into the main building, General Olson’s men stared at him with smiling faces from afar. No one dared to approach, only a few brave ones dared to even try to greet him which he responded with a curt nod. Many of them all thought he was weird but feared him gravely, he had to be feared, as he was well-feared and respected by their boss. He got past the general’s receptionist and went straight to knock on his door, he knock
Adam stood there for a while, lost in his thoughts, he wondered where this woman could have run into.“She must have recognized me, that’s why she fled.” He thought to himself. “I would definitely find her.” He said as he began finding his way up the stairs, climbing up the stairs to the next floor and found a group of men sitting in what seemed to be a living room; It was a men’s club, he guessed, as they all seemed to be engaging in different conversations.There were bottles of liquor hanging around and almost everyone had a glass of alcohol in their hand, at the extreme end, some of the men were gambling whilst others were playing chess and of course, prostitutes were hanging around. He recognized a couple of faces because the room was filled with some of the most elite men in the country. He quickly brought out his phone to inform the general to let Lord Ledger know that he had arrived and decided to get a place to sit and wait, He found a spot just in front of the bar but jus
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
