The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & FOUR
"Make way, please!" The crowd parted, albeit reluctantly, for a man of medium height, with confident strides and a commanding presence. He was dressed not in the evening's finery but in smart, casual attire."I am Dr. Lucas Sterling," he announced, his voice carrying an air of authority that demanded attention.A murmur of recognition passed through the crowd,"Sterling? The Dr. Sterling?" one guest whispered to another, their eyes wide with a mix of surprise and awe."Yes, the very one," Another confirmed, her tone laced with reverence. "They say he's revolutionised medicine in our city. Brought back people from the brink, they say."Whispers continued to swirl through the crowd, painting Dr. Lucas Sterling in nearly legendary shades,"He's the best in the city, they say," A woman murmured to her companion, her voice was a mix of fear and fascination. "Some even claim he can bring people back from the edge of death itself."The awe surrounding Dr. Sterling's reputation seemed to

As he fell to his knee, the laughter immediately died down, and was replaced by gasps, and widening of eyes, "He's choking!" Someone shouted the reality of Adam's warning crashing down on them, and their eyes began darting between Adam and the semi-conscious fellow. An uproar began in the Grand hall, as the guests' eyes darted around the room, their gaze remaining unfocused, as they looked between Madam Ruth's current state and distress, to the young man who had suddenly and unexpectedly begun choking before he slumped.A collection of whispers and mutterings began to grow within the crowd, their voices increasing in volume and curiosity, they couldn't help but land their curious gaze on Adam, he had spoken things and they had come to pass in a matter of seconds, they were beginning to fear him. "Who exactly is this man?" someone murmured, the question hanging in the air like a fog."Yeah, how did he know? First, Madam Ruth, and now this?" another voice added, his voice laced with

The sound of the slap reverberated, silencing the whispers, the impact leaving scorching red marks on both Dr. Sterling's cheeksThe crowd was in utter disbelief, their earlier allegiances forgotten as they witnessed the renowned doctor's fall from grace.“Did they just both land a slap on his face?!”“That must surely leave a mark!”“I've never seen a man of worth be disgraced in this manner?! Have you?!”One of the women turned amusingly to the person beside her, who promptly shook his head, his eyes glinting with amusement. Dr. Sterling, in shock, could barely articulate his outrage, his cheeks and eyes burned, his throat and eyes tingling with unshed tears, and he didn't know if he should hold his burning cheeks, or rub at his stinging eyes.Without waiting for another word, Mira turned on her heel at the nearest security guard,"Remove this man, this...fake doctor, from the premises! This minute!" she commanded, her voice leaving no room for argument.As the guards approached, Dr

Not having a second thought, Mira stomped up to Derek and delivered the third slap of the day unto his face, causing his cheeks to turn the other way, and for a minute, she was tempted to slap the other,“I will not have you disrespect my guests! I'm well aware of the kind of person you are, but I will not let you insult and abuse my guest. Before your arrival, he was about bringing a semblance of peace to this calm!”She glared at the security that still held onto Dr Sterling,“Take him out! Both of them!”She continually heaved a breath as she spoke, and the remaining guards wasted no time as they walked over to Derek and grabbed him by his arm,“Don’t you touch me!”Derek snarled while throwing a disgusting look at everyone around him. He threw one glare at Adam and Mira,“I will not forget this, and I will get my revenge!”Adam scoffed and smiled, stepping forward to scowl at Derek, he smirked at him and gave a curt nod,“I'll be looking forward to it”Derek hissed and stomped his

Just as Adam reached out to Madam Ruth who was looking dazed, just as she spotted Adam’s hand approaching hers, she snapped her eyes open and recoiled,"Don't you dare touch me!" she spat, her voice laced with contempt.The crowd gasped, whispers erupting instantly,“She's awake?!"“Awake and refusing help",The other shook his head, "Did she just refuse help from the man who's been saving lives tonight?" one guest muttered in disbelief."Yeah, after everything, she won't let him help?" Another echoed, confusion and shock painting their features.Mira, shook her head and rubbed the back of her neck, before she turner to her mother, "Mom, please, just shut up and let Adam help you. This is for your own good!"Madam Ruth turned her glare to Mira, "I said no! I do not need help from him or anyone. Especially not from someone as filthy as him!"Adam, attempting to maintain peace, interjected, his voice devoid of any emotion, "Madam Ruth. I'm just trying to help. It's just to ensure y

Adam, Amber, and Adrien had barely made it to the street when Amber's anger erupted like a volcano,Her fists clenched tightly at her sides as if she was trying to physically hold back her fury. "I can't believe her!" she practically spat, her words slicing through the cool night air. "That woman, she's... she's unbearable!"Adrien, knowing who she was referring to, sighed and laid a gentle hand on her shoulder, trying to offer some semblance of comfort. Yet, even he couldn't hide the tightness in his jaw, a clear sign of his own frustration,Adam, feeling the weight of the night's events, merely sighed, running a hand through his hair in a futile attempt to find some solace in the gesture. "Let's just... try to keep calm," he suggested, his voice a soft counter to Amber's fiery outrage.Amber whirled on him, her eyes blazing with a mixture of anger and disbelief, as she scoffed and huffed, "Calm? How can you even say that? After everything? I blame Mira for inviting you, knowing f
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & TEN
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
The Return of Adam Sanders CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED & ELEVEN
"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

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. The more Jason stared around his surroundings

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
CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY-EIGHT
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
