“Well, he has to pay for what he did. By the way, with what I remember, Claire’s life is in danger. He had warned me not to mingle when I got to college, but you know… I got into situations which made Claire always have to bump in for me. So, he found that out, due to the spy which he installed to watch me.” Sophie explained, and Adrian sighed.“I see. We’ll find a way to ensure she is safe.” He assured Sophie, and she leaned back on the bed’s headboard, feeling relieved.“By the way, how did you guys find me? The way Steve Wilson did everything. It must have been really difficult to get to me.” Sophie asked, out of curiosity.“It was really difficult, I tell you. We came to his house, and the guards didn’t allow us in. In fact, there was no proof that he actually took you. So, what we did was to invent a caterpillar tech which helped us to eavesdrop on conversations. Luckily for us, we were listening, when he voiced out the name of the college you were attending.” Adrian explained to
Steve Wilson knew exactly what kind of person Adrian was; at least the basics, which were that he was intelligent and had tactics that could destroy a person if he actually had the right resources. "And what do you have in mind?" Steve Wilson questioned, curious to hear what he had in mind."Well, you're about to enter a contest, and truly, you need the people's trust. I'm just going to have to upload it to the masses, and you're gone. Including all you've built." Adrian uttered, with a satisfied look.Steve Wilson twitched his lips and clenched his fist while he was holding his wine glass, firmly."So, if you don't want to go down, back off!" Adrian warned him and turned to leave."You may think you have won, but I want you to know this. You can never win against me." Steve Wilson voiced out, but Adrian ignored him."Wow. That was some guts you showed, over there." Lucas uttered as they went out of Steve Wilson's mansion."We both know that to shake a man like Steve Wilson, one has
Adrian sat, and leaned back on the chair, then let out a sign.“What am I to do?” Adrian questioned as he folded his arms, not interested in eating what had been laid down.“You have to date me until after your contest. But this time, it has to be like real dating. You have to kiss me deeply, we are going to sex, and other things. That way, I can feel my wounds, being nursed from the hurts you caused me.”Adrian sat up, and scoffed.“You really are funny, and should I say you are quite shameless. You have a husband already, and damn! He’s wealthy, well-known. He is also sought after for things people don’t have. He does everything you want, and cares about your emotions. Yet, you are here, looking for other men.” Adrian spoke, feeling so irritated by her.“That’s none of your business, Adrian. You hurt me, so you should pay for it.”“Hurt? You came to me even while you were married, and wanted to have a thing for me. Just because I didn’t agree to it, shouldn’t count as hurting you. A
Adrian connected the heel of his palm, against his face, and dragged it to his chin. Sometimes, the system gave him ridiculous tasks. He was certain that the system didn’t mean for him to pick anybody to credit that amount.It was certainly someone who was in need of it. How was he going to know anyone who was in need of it? Even the wealthy who was going bankrupt, but still dressed well, could be in need of it.“Damn! I hope this won’t be the death of me.” He uttered under his breath.Then he started the car, and drove off to the nearest bank. On getting to that bank, he looked around. Everyone was busy with different activities, and he had to place both hands on his waist.He had to go close to the attendants who were attending to customers, to know if there was anyone in need, or in problem, but all he could see and hear were big deals.“There’s literally no one with a visible problem, here. How do I find that one person who would be in need of money?” he spoke, almost feeling frus
Adrian got down from his car, trying to understand what the hell was going on, at that moment. He had helped the boy to get what he needed to save his mother, so it was baffling to hear the task had not been completed.“How could this happen? I just gave someone the 50 million dollars that was needed. How is it that the task wasn’t completed?”THE TASK WASN’T DONE SUCCESSFULLY. The system was beginning to get annoying as it wasn’t explaining things in a way he would understand.“At least, explain further for me to understand.” Adrian spoke out in frustration.But there was no response from the system, and about ten minutes had been wasted.Now, he had to start from getting the young teenager whom he had given that money, as it was obvious that he couldn’t leave it, and give out another one. Judging from the way the system did things, it still wouldn’t count it as a task, successfully completed.It had told him to spend 50 thousand dollars, and not a hundred.“Alright, bring out Danie
Adrian watched as Daniel thought deeply about it, and each move Daniel made, made him anxious. He was running out of time, here, and if he acted too pushy, it would only make Daniel more suspicious.After all, he was a teenager, and not a toddler who could be easily fooled. “So, you’re trying to say that in a few minutes or hours, I would be credited triple of the basic amount you sent to me?”“Yes, kiddo. Seems like a dream, right?” Adrian smiled, revealing his good set of teeth. “But you must ensure to keep your end of the bargain, which is to advertise, and testify to people.”“Alright then. It’s a deal. Kindly send your account details, sir. And thank you so much for willingly being the angel who came to turn my life around.” Daniel appreciated him, and Adrian smiled widely.In no time, the money was sent to him.“Thanks.” Adrian uttered, and walked out of the house.Daniel was baffled on how his demeanor changed, all of a sudden.“Sir, you didn’t say anything else.” Daniel utter
On getting to the company, he was briefed on all he had missed, and he got to work, immediately after that.Adrian worked happily until evening when it was time to go home. Before he left his office, he got a knock on his door.“Come in.” He urged as he continued with packing his things up.“Hey. You seem happy, today.” Sophie said as she walked in.He noticed that she was without any document, which means, what she came for wasn’t business-related. At least, he was 60 percent certain of that.“Well, I’m just in a good mood, because I have a good premonition that things will turn out well for us.” He uttered, not being able to share the experience which he had, today.“Oh, I see. Well, I’m beginning to have a good feeling, as you have said that.” Sophie spoke as she played her fingers on the top of the chair.“Were you having a bad feeling, before?” Adrian asked, out of curiosity.“Not really. But I heard about what I missed out on when I was away, due to that freak Steve Wilson who a
Adrian drove off to the restaurant, which Josephine had asked, for them to meet, and when he got there, he only sat down, without greeting her or anything. “You called to see me for what reason?” Adrian asked, with his arms, folded.“Look Adrian, I’m only trying to give you another chance. You know very well that if you choose to stay with me, then you won’t really need to worry about this contest.”“Oh, so, I should give myself to you, just for something which is short-term?”“Oh, Adrian. You know very well that if you ask for something which is long-term, I would give it to you. I mean, if you want this relationship to go on for as long as you want, you’ll be privileged to so many things.”“Which I have. Josephine, look at me. Do I look like someone is suffering? Because I believe that those are the people you can be able to get to, easily. They need what you have, but I don’t need anything from you, and not to brag, you can never make me have nothing.” Adrian said to her, without
