“So this brat can ask for help? Who knew” Adam thought to himself as he gave his signature smirk, while staring at the bumpy-headed man, he shook his head before heaving a sigh and spoke up, “Leave her alone!” He said to the man with a frown and the man dropped Joan’s arm roughly, that she instantly fell so hard to the ground causing her to hit her head on the tile. The man’s gaze moved slowly from Joan to Adam and he grunted like a hungry lion whose bait just escaped, snarling and snarking,“And who the hell are you? He demanded with flaring nostrils, baring his browning teeth, “First you attack my men and stand in their way, preventing them from carrying out my assignments. Now you are in my basement, giving me orders?” He yelled, and swept out his hands, as his veins nearly popped out of his skin, they were straining against his shirt.Adam simply smirked, and it further got on the man’s nerves.“Are you deaf?! Who the hell are you?” He asked again but this time at the top of hi
Back in the Southeastern province, Louisa and her mother Cecil were busy trying to plan how to get back into Adam’s life, Cecil had invited William over to her small but lavish apartment where they would make a plan on how to get back into Adam’s life just to take his money,The business was already going bad for William, and so she thought that these were already desperate times for him,The investor who had called him one time had anonymously bought all the shares in his company and left him with nothing. Cecil saw that as an opportunity for him to do her bidding, he would do anything to be able to get it back. “Do you think William would be in on this?” Louisa asked her mother as they awaited William’s arrival. “Oh that’s a piece of cake, it’s either he agrees or I make him agree.”“How would you do that mother?” Louisa asked, her voice tinged with confusion.Cecil grinned in a Cheshire manner, her eyes gleaming,“It's very easy, I’ll blackmail him.” She said her voice barely abo
Back in the basement, Adam came back to the cell room and joined the girls Leila quickly sat up at his arrival and asked if he was okay, “I'm fine,”Was all he said, in a swift move he sat down beside her, resting his head against the wall.Joan was fast asleep and her arm was swollen from the incident with the bumpy-headed man. There was a long silence in the room as all Adam did was stare at the ceiling. Adam decided to break the silence and so he finally asked,“What do these people really want from you and your family?” Leila sighed and sat up properly before clearing her throat but didn’t know the right words to use, it was hard to string words together.“Uhmm…hmmmm…Emmm,” she started,“My father told us that it is as a result of a mistake he made growing up as a young man. And he is bent on getting revenge by killing me and my sister. He has been trying since we were little girls and Papa always protected us till he fell ill. Our lives have been endangered since then and now
Silence engulfed the room as Adam stood there looking at the old man, the old man who was his mentor, who had taught him everything he knew today. The duo disengaged from their embrace whilst smiling at each other, Adam couldn't help but smile at the old man even though his head was churning with questions, ‘What’s old man Thompson doing with this man?’ He questioned himself silently as he twisted his fingers. He fixed his gaze on the old man as though he wanted to be sure if he was really the one. “Hmmm,” Old man Thompson hummed, breaking the silence in the room, “Adam,” he called out. “You are a man of strong personality so I know you made the right decision,” He paused and took a deep breath, “It’s like standing between the moon and the sun, one is very hot and the other one seems just normal but holds the substance of life. You lean on one to get the day and the other one to get the night, they’re contrasting but extremely important”. “Right!” Adam said with a pale
While Adam was busy restructuring the face of Draymond, the girls were busy wondering what was going on, “Maybe the ugly-headed man has finally gone to eat your stupid hero for a late-night snack,” Joan said to her sister, smiling snidely at the thought,Biting her lips and fingers at intervals, Leila got to her feet and sighed heavily, before turning to her sister, “Shut up Joan, Maybe we’re next”Joan rolled her eyes and hissed, but before she could respond, the door opened from outside and Adam walked in majestically, his chest and shoulders puffed up,Leila heaved a deep sigh and quickly ran towards him, going in for a hug, but Adam didn’t reciprocate it; as he just stared at the ceiling.“Let’s go” he ordered.“What do you mean?” Joan asked him almost immediately. “Do you want to cause us more trouble? If these people catch us trying to escape then we’re dead meat!” she said, rolling her eyes.“Let’s go, Adam said, turning to Leila and Raul. “You can stay here if you want,”
As they drove through the city, Adam looked through the windows and observed the morning sun. Being in that blasted den, he hadn't seen the sunlight for a while and he was glad to see the little things that could be taken for granted.The weather was beautiful, he thought to himself and the view was soothing, a beautiful way to calm his nerves after the wreck of the past few days. He was enjoying the peaceful drive and the serene weather.His Master hadn't said anything and Raul was a little intrigued to know what his young master had been up to, he was barely home these days, going on one thing or the other, and he found that he had missed having Adam around, himself alongside his grandfather,The silence in the car was killing Raul, he had so many questions he needed to ask his master but he knew his young master was a man of few words but his inquisitiveness didn’t let him keep mute.“Young Master,” he called out, his voice a little inaudible, but Adam still heard it and raised his
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
