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

Adrian tried his best to unlock the padlock in the water, and thankfully, he did it and opened up the lid with all his might.“Lucas, now!” He instructed him and Lucas managed to place his right hand on the edge.“Sophie, you've got to get a hang of it. Once the water is absorbed and the bottom is removed, I won't be able to hols on to you.” Lucas uttered.Sophie gasped for breath as she poked her head out and she also managed to hold on to the edge.Suddenly, the bottom open just as Adrian predicted and all the water fell out.Arthur burst into laughter and began to clap his hands.“This is so interesting. Now, I know why father always talk about you, Adrian. You are really smart and have the the true traits of a leader. Having ten of you would build up an empire and run it well.” Arthur laughed out loud.“Will you get us out of here right now? And what do you plan on doing about Sophie. She's hurt, bleeding and in pain!” Adrian yelled, tossing the compliment he had just been given,

The trio fell into what seemed like an endless pit.“Ahhh!” They all continued to scream out loud, hoping they weren't falling to their death.Soon, they fell on something soft. They all couldn't see as it was dark, but they tried to stand.“I think this is foam.” Lucas said as he touched what was beneath them.Adrian and Sophie did the same thing, and they confirmed it was as well.“Where could we be?” Lucas asked, wondering what exactly Arthur was up to.“I have no idea. He totally changed everything.” Adrian responded looking around like he could see in the dark.“Shit.” Sophie cursed under her breath with no strength.Suddenly, the lights went on and they covered their eyes at first because it was sharp and had stung their eyes at first.“What the hell is this maniac planning!” Lucas yelled in frustration as he kept his face away from the light.Adrian felt a little anxious that things weren't going the way he had thought or guessed it could go.This way, he felt he could die for

Adrian stared at the woman as her cryptic words sunk deep into his head.She looked warily at him, then turned around to leave, and he only watched her dumbfoundedly.Suddenly, his phone began to ring out and he slid his hand into his pocket while still staring at the woman; leaving.As he brought his phone out, he had to take his eyes off the woman and focused on his phone. It was Sophie calling him.“Hey Sophie.”“Adrian, where are you? Lucas' home was blown up, and he isn't answering his calls. I don't know if he was in the house when the fire blew up.” Sophie informed him, sobbing hard.Adrian's heart skipped a beat and he became alarmed.“Where are you right now? Have you called the fire fighters?” Adrian questioned as he packed up the wine bottle and glasses, then hurried out of the cemetery.“I'm currently close to his house. And I called you immediately after informing the fire fighters.”“Shit! I'm on my way right now. Stay where you are.” Adrian voiced out over the phone.So

On the other hand was Rose. She was alone in the lab even though there were some others somewhere else.Arthur's lab was a big one, so, there were more people like her working for him. The only thing was that she was more like the head of the scientists as she was most skilled, and he relied on her to get so many things done.Rose wasn't happy about it because Arthur was gradually turning what she loved doing into something she wanted to avoid so much.She was meant to use her skills and knowledge to help people and make life better, but instead, he made her use it to murder people and choose people who would live or die in some situations.But at the same time, she couldn't run away because she was indebted to him. When they were a little younger, she was brought into their house to be a helper; someone that had a bit of a higher rank than the maids.And that was because her father had owed a huge debt and Steve Wilson paid it, but asked for her to be a helper for years which the mon

Lucas also just left the elevator and saw Adrian on the floor, groaning in pain. He quickly rushed to him out of worry.“Hey! Adrian!” He called out to him, and shook him to get a hold of himself.Adrian opened his eyes with cold beads of sweat on his forehead, then he looked at Lucas, and looked at his stomach, but there was no wound or anything.“The man who just left. Did you see any man?” Adrian asked, looking baffled.“No. You were the only one in the hallway. What’s going on?”Adrian checked his stomach again and confirmed that nothing had really happened to him, and if he were to believe Lucas, it meant that something was wrong with his mind.“Did Rose drop a contact?” Adrian asked as Lucas helped him up.“Oh! Yeah, yeah, she did. Is there a problem?” Lucas asked again, completely confused on what exactly was going on with Adrian.“I need to ask her a question. I just saw a man, and you claim there was no man. And… he stabbed me. But I can’t see any trace of any wound on me.”“

“What did you do to him?” Lucas asked, out of curiosity.“I didn’t really do anything. He probably just had the best sex of his life.” Sophie answered, and folded her arms.“You know you’re beginning to confuse me, right?” “Don’t worry. You’re going to get the details son.” Sophie assured him, wanting to get over this as soon as possible.Shortly after Sophie responded, the guard walked out of that room and approached them.“The boss has agreed for you to take the antidote. Follow me.” He urged, and both Sophie and Lucas followed after him.They were led into a stall which was filled with so many drugs, and some were probably antidotes for reactions. Then they got to a particular shelf where there was just one antidote standing it.“This is the antidote for the Blue Rash. Mix it with a little amount of water, and then you can inject it into the affected patient.” The guard gave them the simple instructions.“Alright, thanks so much.” Lucas appreciated the instructions, and he and Sop

Lucas and Sophie shared shocked glances at each other. They weren't expecting that he would actually ask for something like that."Her?""Yes. Just a one-time thing. If you will agree right now, then we would get on with it quickly." Bear uttered as he spread his arms on his couch.Lucas felt annoyed. He wondered why people always had to take advantage of those who needed something from them."Why can't you just do us a favor if you really want to do us a favor? It's unfair that you want to have her and then have a good amount of money with you." Lucas said, expressing his annoyance and how unfair it felt for him."Yeah, I understand. But life is unfair actually. So, if you want the herb , decide fast. I've not got all the time to waste in the world." Bet spoke, without looking merciful.Then Sophie rose to her feet looking determined."If it's me you want to have, then you'll have me. Let's get on with it immediately." Sophie uttered, looking like she had already made her resolve."S

The next day, Adam arrived at Adrian’s home and he was ushered to Adrian’s room.“Gosh. This is the purple rash. Extremely dangerous.”“Oh, my goodness.” Sophie said softly and placed her hand over her mouth.“It’s a reaction of a particular drug which has been long forgotten, so, not many people would have its antidote. Even I do not have the antidote. But I know someone who might have it. They are a group of men who are into drug business and might have the antidote you are looking for. But you must play it carefully with them.” Adam informed them.“Give us an address. We’ll head right there. Andrew, you coming?”“I wish I could, but I’ve got something really important to take care of, and you shouldn’t wait until I’m done because Adrian’s life is on the line.”“Alright.”“I hope you are aware I’m tagging along, and we do not really need to get more people to follow us. We aren’t going for a fight, and gangs always have a feeling you’re coming for a fight when you arrive in numbers.

“Do I know you from somewhere, perhaps?” Adrian asked, still staring at him in confusion.Then the man chuckled and let out a sigh.“It really is a beautiful day. Been waiting for this day, and now, I finally have it.” He uttered.Adrian managed to sit up, but was still feeling a little light-headed, so he leaned on the pillows that were provided for him.“Who are you?” Adrian asked, followed by a grunt.“I am Arthur Wilson, son of Steve Wilson whom you took down.” He introduced himself, now looking serious.Even though Adrian saw the resemblance, he was still shocked that it was truly Steve Wilson’s son. Since he was the one, it meant he was out to take revenge.“I see you’re here to take revenge for your father. But let me tell you one thing. Your revenge is no way justified.” Adrian said, with clenched teeth.Arthur cackled and did a one-time spin, then moved closer to Adrian.“You really think you get to decide what’s justified or not? You must be kidding me. My father might have
