Regina was in her room, pacing around as she placed her index finger on her lower teeth, biting it a little, and thinking of exactly what to do.“I guess I have no choice than to see that son of a bitch!” I uttered sharply under my breath.Immediately, she wore something more comfortable, and that could aid her to be really fast when she had to, then she hurriedly stepped out of her room.“Where are you heading to?” Her mother asked, looking curious.But Regina was in no mood to answer her question, so she dashed out of the house.“Taxi!” She voiced out as she waved her hand to get the attention of the taxi driver.As the cab got closer to her, she got in and gave him the address to the station.“Would you like me to entertain you with a song?” he offered, with a smile that she could see, from the front mirror.“There’s no need. Just…speed up, please.” Regina urged him, and looked out the window, feeling restless.Regina didn’t need anyone to tell her the kind of person Richmond could
“Get down, right now!” One of the men voiced out, aggressively.“Do we really need to tell them to get down, or we can just drive them off to our location.” Another goon, suggested as they all pointed their guns at us.“Yeah, that’s true.”Lucas and I exchanged looks, and before we knew it, the hefty men brought Lucas and me down and shoved us into the back seat of the car.“This is why you should get a security patrol or whatever,” Lucas whispered, feeling a little scared.He was right. If I had security guards who followed me every single place I went to, it would have been much better. In a case like this, even if they were not able to win against these hefty men, we would have escaped as they would have given us enough time to escape.“Who are you, and what do you want with us?” I asked as two more men joined us at the back, and squeezed us in the middle like we were nothing.“Oh, come on. Do you really think we’re going to tell you? Now, to dash all your hopes, we aren’t going to
Regina was counting the money which was given to her, by Lucas. She smiled, feeling glad that all she had to do was to let Adrian in, and she got free money. She knew he would be earning better than he was when they were together.Even as he was earning better, she wanted to find a way to pull him down as she wanted him to beg at her feet, and she was going to ensure that, no matter how long it was going to take.Not long after she counted the money, Lucas walked out and cleared his throat to get her attention.“Uhm… He’s awake, and he has asked to see you.” Lucas informed Regina, and a smile came on her face.Then she rose to her feet and walked up to Lucas.“Look. I know I was a bitch back when you needed to get him into the house. I was just pissed at that moment, and… and I couldn’t think straight. Well, as for that money, I’m just going to use it to cater for him a little. You know, for hospitality, and all.”“You don’t have to do that. I’ll settle his bills. Besides, we are leav
“Is there anything wrong?” She asked, staring at me, out of curiosity.“Don’t tell me you…” Adrian spoke and paused.“Speak! I don’t understand you.” She said, frustratingly.Out of anger, he got out of the car and slammed the door shut.Talia was so baffled as she didn’t understand his sudden change of attitude. If not for the fact that she knew he had a good health condition, she would have assumed that he was probably a psychiatric patient.She had to get out of the car as well and confronted him.“Is it because I need your help that you keep acting as it pleases you? At least, consider the life of my grandfather which is at stake.”“First, I recall warning you about how critical his condition, was, and that I needed to treat him, but you didn’t agree. Secondly, you, Talia, had the effrontery to walk up and send men, to abduct me!”As Talia heard the last sentence he made, she froze and found it difficult to even speak.“What…what did you just say?” She questioned, trying her best
The current situation attracted his grandfather’s attention, so, both his grandfather and Lucas were seated, before Adrian.“Grandfather, please just allow me to do away with her.” Adrian pleaded, not wanting to hear his grandfather have to give any final say.“Regardless of what she did, you should overlook it and save a life, first. Then after you save her grandfather’s life, we can now settle things amicably.”“But grandfather, by settling things amicably, I believe you mean we would cease to be engaged,” Adrian spoke, hoping his grandfather would agree to that.“No, Adrian. A contract is a contract. You have to work in accordance with the rules. But she’ll certainly be punished for daring to attempt abducting my grandson.Adrian still wasn’t satisfied with his grandfather’s response and then rose to his feet.“No, grandfather. I can’t allow that woman to feel I’m bound by rules, therefore giving her the audacity to do whatever she wants. I will go over to her home to treat her gra
“So, what do we do? Now that he has given you a task, you have to ensure it’s done, the way he wants it.” Lucas said as he finally sat on the couch, after pacing around for about half an hour. “Well, I have no choice but to do this. Truly, if I want to get back at those who did wrong, I must prove that I am very well capable of that, or I would forever be a pauper and a useless being, to them.” Adrian spoke, staring into blank space like he was working out some things in his head.“I think we should start with finding out his current whereabouts, and then we start out what we ought to,” Lucas suggested.“Alright, let’s find out.” Adrian agreed, and they began to make their findings.After conducting deep research, they were able to get his whereabouts.“Paris of all places,” Lucas said as he connected the heel of his palm, to his face, and dragged it down to his chin.“Is there a problem with that?” Adrian asked, wondering why Lucas acted that way because he felt wealthy men were alw
The next day, Adrian was ready for his flight, which was going to take off by 11:00 am, but his grandfather had asked to have a talk with him, by 9 am, so that he would still be able to catch up with his flight, no matter how long their discussion was going to take, which he clearly had no intentions of making it take so long.“So, I have also called you to wish you good luck on your trip, and what you are going there, for. As I withdrew all that I gave you, I wrote a will, that you will only acquire all my wealth when you have a kid from a woman you love.”“Grandfather!” Adrian voiced out in shock as he rose to his feet. “This isn’t what we agreed on,” Adrian spoke bitterly and also tried his best not to sound disrespectful.“I know. I only said it’s when you acquire all my wealth, but I am going to will a part of my wealth to you when you come back from your trip after being successful in what you went to do.” His grandfather assured him, calmly.Adrian understood that his grandfath
He looked back abruptly, hoping he wasn’t about to experience an unfortunate incident. But thankfully, his eyes fell on the lady whom he met at the airport earlier.“What are you doing around here?” Adrian asked, out of curiosity, wondering if she was following him.“I should be asking that. I thought you said you were going to wait for a cab. Why are you walking with your luggage in your hand?” She questioned, giving Adrian a look that seemed like she knew his kind of person; that is people who are too stubborn to listen.“Even if I followed you, won’t I have to walk? The only difference is I won’t have to carry my luggage.”Then the lady burst out in laughter.“Are you for real? So, you thought I meant I was going to carry your bag, and then we’ll walk to your destination? Oh, come on. This is the 21st century.” She said as she dabbed her hand.“You mean you own a cab?” Adrian questioned, looking taken aback.“Yeah, I do. I actually walked backward to ease myself as there are no woo
