last update2024-03-18 23:04:52
The arrogance of the man and his crew was almost suffocating. Yet, through it all, Adam was the perfect picture of calm defiance, his confidence wasn't perturbed by the situation.

Adam had a little inkling of his reason but was curious to know why he had chosen to go against his boss. With a slight tilt to his neck, he looked the man over,

"Why?"

Adam finally asked, his voice steady.

"What do you gain from this?"

The man's smile was chilling, he was like a predator baring its teeth before the strike,

"Ah, now that would be telling. Let's just say, I have my reasons."

Adam, despite the chaos, retained an air of calm elegance, a stark contrast to the man's growing fury.

"Why?"

Adam pressed again, determined to get his answers, he couldn't comprehend the man's motives, even if he did have an idea,

"Why all this deception? What's your endgame?"

The man’s smirk that had previously been unwavering now faltered as Adam's composure seemed to unnerve him. With nostrils flaring, he glower

    "You think you're so smart, don't you, Adam? But you have no idea what you're up against."Adam, unphased, rolled his eyes, a gesture of disdain that seemed to infuriate Stefan further. "On the contrary," Adam responded smoothly, "I believe I have a pretty good idea. You're a man driven by ambition and greed, blinded by your desire for power. It's pathetic, really."Stefan's anger now turned into fury, turned sharply to his group, his gaze burning with unspoken commands. "Teach him a lesson," he hissed, his voice laced with venom. "A lesson he'll never forget."The men, emboldened by their leader's command, shifted uneasily, finding courage in their numbers. "After all, what's one against so many?" one of them sneered, the group's collective confidence swelling.Adam, observing their movements with detached amusement, simply shook his head, an insolent smile playing on his lips. "Really now? Is this your grand plan?" he taunted his calm demeanour in stark contrast to their escala

    With his back against the wall, Stefan knew he was out of options. His hands remained in his pocket, he looked around the fallen forms of his screw scattered around him, a testament to Adam's skill and prowess.But he wasn't going to give up; Stefan, ever the schemer, had one last trick up his sleeve, a desperation move that he'd been looking forward to using, it was his pride and joy. He sneered at Adam, his confidence artificially bolstered by the object hidden in his pocket, "You think you've won, Adam?" he spat, his voice oozing malice.Adam, unimpressed, simply raised an eyebrow and shrugged confidently, "It appears so, doesn't it?" he replied and stretched his arms to elaborate his claim, his calm demeanour a stark contrast to Stefan's growing agitation. Stefan's hand twitched inside his pocket, fingers wrapping around the small canister he'd concealed there. Amber and Adrien, who had been watching the scene unfold with bated breath, sensed a shift in the atmosphere, and th

    Amber's coughs, initially quiet and strained, escalated into a horrifying cacophony. Each cough seemed to wrack her body, shaking her to the core until blood speckled her lips, bright and stark against her ruined skin, it was making it look even scarier. Adam was seething and blaming himself as he watched his beloved companion go through pain. Stefan, amidst the unfolding horror, found a perverse joy. His laughter once filled with triumph, now echoed with madness,"Look at her!" he crowed and stood with his hands akimbo, gloating and taunting; unable to contain his glee. "She doesn't have long now. Oh, what a sight! This was meant for Adam, but, oh, how delightful it is to watch!"He continued, his eyes gleaming maliciously, "How does it feel, knowing you're the cause of her suffering?" He continued.Adam, his heart sinking at the sight of Amber's agony, felt an icy grip of fear clutching at him. But as he caught Amber in his arms, his fear quickly turned to rage; a silent, deadly

    Stefan, cornered and desperate, reverted to his only remaining weapon. With shaking hands, he aimed the deadly spray canister at Adam, hoping to halt Adam's advance with a threat,"Stay back!" he croaked, his voice betraying his fear.Adam, his resolve as solid as ever, didn't falter. He eyed the canister with disdain, then shifted his gaze to Stefan, reading him like an open book. "You won't use that again," he said, his voice calm but laced with a cold promise.Stefan's finger hovered over the button, his sweat-drenched forehead glistening under the dim light. He glanced at the canister, then back at Adam, his mind racing for a way out.Adam took another step forward, his fists clenched at his sides, the muscles in his jaw twitching with suppressed rage. "You've done enough damage, bastard. It ends now," he declared, his voice low and menacing.Panic surged through Stefan's veins, his heart pounding against his chest. He squeezed the canister, a last-ditch attempt to fend off his

    Adam's ears were blocked to Stefan’s muffled screams of help and desperation, the only thing on his mind was getting help for Amber and getting her to quick recovery, he couldn't dare to think or imagine things not going well, he feared the worst if she didn't make it, without realising, Amber had crawled her way into his heart and affixed herself into it.Subconsciously, he fisted one palm and tightened the other on Stefan's matted hair, the latter crying out in despair but Adam was either too absent minded or furious to listen to his pathetic cries, They had left Stefan's minions to their device, he could care less what became of them, but he was certain they wouldn't dare show their face in Sage Robinson's group, the only person he had bones to pick with was the one currently in his clutch, and he wasn't letting go of him anytime soon. Stefan was going to pay for the damage he had caused, by God he will. He willed Sage's residence to be nearer, he called out to Adrien who still h

    He could hear her deeply sigh over the phone, heard her take in deep breaths,"What do you need?"At the question, it felt like a load had been offloaded from his shoulders, Adam sighed in relief as well with a hint of a smile appearing on his face,“I need all the available herbs you have at your disposal and can get your hands on, everything and please do not hide anyone from me this time” he could hear her chuckle a bit and slightly imagined her shaking her head before he went on," I'm trying to save a life" he gave a long pause and expelled a breath before going on, “a life that's very important to me”" Hmmm”Although Sophia was curious to know more, but she didn't prod further,"I'll take the next available flight with all I have. I must warn you, you're going to need a whole room!”For the first time in a few hours, Adam chuckled lightly, his face brightening up a little,“Hit me with all you've got"At the other end, Sophia laughed loudly and shook her head in amazement,“Bet

    All eyes turned to Brandon who strode in with his shoulder high and his hands into his pockets, his cousin Elliott trailing after him, Brandon's gaze landed on Adam, and he stomped forward, taking his hands out of his pocket, he grabbed Adam by his shoulders, shoving him away,“What the hell do you think you're doing? Get away from my sister you murderer!!!" Brandon howled at the top of his voice, scowling at Adam with disdain,"Haven't you done enough damage already you poor and wretched disgusting bastard!”Elliot stood behind him, shifting on one foot to the other, a little uneasy as he had seen Adam in action, and knew what the man was capable of, he had only tagged along just to enter into his uncle's good graces once more and nothing else, he had no love lost for the cousin who had nearly left him to die.Taking a peek at her body, he shuddered and felt a sudden urge to regurgitate the meal he had consumed before coming in; he blinked as he looked at her lain form, surely that

    As the words escaped his lips, Brandon flung himself at Adam, ready to pounce on him like a lion to his prey, but Adam wasn't having any of it, as he equally stood firmly on the ground, and decked Brandon with his elbow, and like a measly paper, Brandon fell to the ground clutching his chin while simultaneously crying out loud,“You bastard!!! I'll kill you!!!! You've succeeded in killing my sister and yet you want to kill the remaining Rowland heir!!! You're.going.to.pay.for.this!”Brandon seethed and bowed through gritted teeth, his eyes shooting venom and daggers at Adam who only rolled his eyes and bent to Brandon's level,“Your sister isn't dead, you may wish for her to be dead, but she's a fighter and she'll come through! I can barely say the same about you!”The words angered Brandon the more and he flared and tried to shove Adam by the shoulder, but he was as solid as a boulder, unmoving. Adam's words had hit home and the nail on the head, despite the love Brandon had for his

    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. He was in prison with Adam, and he knew how he had fought for this moment, and he was very proud to be part of

    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
