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
Adam and Adrien hovered around Amber's bed, while the others stared and gaped at her, the swelling on her face and body had drastically reduced and her face was returning to normal, not only that but her colour was returning as well, it was truly a miracle,“Unbelievable…this is unbelievable!!!”Sage Robinson exclaimed in a low voice, with widened eyes and a gaping mouth, unable to close his mouth nor blink his eyes. A part of him had believed Adam could heal Amber, but it was medically impossible according to all he knew for her to wake up and also to be this alert, he felt a surge of pride and accomplishment swell up within him,Truthfully, searching Adam out hadn't been a mistake, the guy had proven through and through why he had been Old Man Thompson's chosen one. Brandon who finally recovered from his shock, rushed to his sister's side and checked her body all over, he couldn't believe that the unrecognisable person that had been before him had turned normal and was very lucid,
Meanwhile, back at the Winston's residence, Mira had managed to get her mother into the house despite the woman's constant nagging,“How dare you invite that lowlife scumbag into any event of ours! How dare you insult me in that manner you ungrateful child!"Madam Ruth went on in her chastisement, leaving no room for Mira to defend herself,“You're nothing but a disgrace to me! You don't act like my child and sometimes I find myself wondering if you were switched at birth or if you hit your head when you were a baby!"Her words tore at her daughter's heart, but she was far gone in her attack to realise the effect it had on her daughter Mira,“There are men like Brendan Castro or even Russell Brent, who will gladly bow at your feet and give you the world, yet you won't invite them, you rather choose to invite a lowlife classless idiot into a gathering filled with dignitaries! You wound me, Mira!”“You didn't see men like the grandson of Marcus Raine to invite, but choose to rather inv
Doctor Emmanuel Weiss stepped in in his full glory with a gleam in his eyes, On the bed, Madam Ruth was whimpering and holding on to different parts of her body,“Argh!!! My bones are killing me and my chest is hurting!!" She cried out in pain, and Mira felt pity for her and rubbed her hands over her mother while nodding at the doctor,“It's ok Mum, the doctor has arrived, hell attend to you now"Madam Ruth immediately sat up on the bed as she heard Mira's words, a smile lighting her face up, her miracle doctor had arrived.Dr Emmanuel Weiss with the gleam still in his eyes strode to her and stretched his hand to her, “Madam, do not fret, you'll be well in no time. We just have to run some tests to know what the problem is so we can begin treatment!”"Then get it done! There's no time to waste!"Madam Ruth spoke rudely, and Mira lifted her head to send a remorseful look to the doctor on her mother's behalf, the doctor only smiled and gave a brief nod, before stepping out to prepare
