Adrian couldn't believe his ears. Did Lucas just threaten him, without budging, or feeling like he was saying the wrong thing?“Lucas?” He called his name, still feeling unsure that he heard well.“You heard me well.” Lucas spoke, and then rose to his feet. “Tired of seeing this loser's face. I think I need to go.”“Even I am tired of seeing him, as well. Let's leave the restaurant together.” Regina said to Lucas and also rose to her feet, clutching her purse in her hands.She smiled at Adrian and then sneered at him.“I hope this teaches you one lesson; you can never win against Steve Wilson and I. So, if you're smart as you claim to be, it's time you back off.” Regina said, and then left with Lucas.Lucas stood there, dumbfounded, not knowing what to say or what to do. This had never crossed his mind, that it could ever happen.If there was anyone who he could still not be dumbfounded over, that would be Sophie, because he hasn't known or bonded with her, just the way he has done wi

“Governor?” Adrian voiced out, still looking shocked.“Wow. You know me.” The Governor spoke.Then they heard the siren, which meant the police were close. Adrian who didn't want to miss his golden opportunity, decided to strike immediately.“I would like to meet with you, sir. It's over something I wanted to talk about, but I wasn't given the chance to speak with you.”“Oh, I get a lot of letters, and all, everyday. Can't recall which is yours, but here is my card. You can come over to my office, tomorrow.” The Governor said to Adrian.Adrian felt so happy. That was like the highlight of his day. Although, he had gone through a mess, tonight, but he was glad that he managed to achieve something.The contact card had all the necessary information that even the secretary wouldn't be able to deny that he met with the Governor.Then the cops arrived, and some of them covered the scene, while three others walked up to Adrian and the Governor.As they noticed it was the Governor, they call

The next day, Adrian woke up, and the first thing he set his eyes on was the ceiling. He had slept off in that position and remained in that position.Then he sat up, and brushed his hair to the back, and yawned. He looked back at the toilet, and headed towards thay direction.The first person that came to his mind was Sophie, but he wanted to brush his teeth before doing that.As he stepped into the bathroom, he did the necessary while staring at the mirror, and when he was done brushing his teeth, he focused on only the mirror.“Today isn't going to turn out the way yesterday did. So, brighten up, Adrian.” He encouraged himself and then stepped out of the bathroom.He changed into something else rather than wearing a robe, then he stepped out of his room and headed to Sophie's. But on getting to Sophie's room, he didn't see her on the bed like he had thought he would. Then he knocked on her bathroom door, hoping she was there, and just taking a bath.“Sophie? You in there?” he call

Lucas on the other hand, was at his lodge drinking whiskey, and staring into space. Remembering the look on Adrian's face when he threatened him last night, he felt a little in pain.He saw the pain of betrayal in his eyes and he wished that he could soothe him, but that would be the most foolish thing to do.As he gulped down one more shot, his phone rang. It was an unknown number. He was hesitant to answer it, because he was hoping that Adrian didn't try to use another number to call him.He has already blocked him from being able to do that on his main contact.“Well, I'll just block the contact again.” He said to himself and then answered the call.“Hello. Is this Lucas?” The voice was familiar to him, but he couldn't recall where he had heard such a voice; and it was definitely not Adrian's voice.“Who is this?” He asked, calmly.“Oh! So, you do not recall my voice. Anyways, not everyone is able to do that. Regina told me that you have finally come to your senses and will be wil

Lucas was nervous, and didn’t know what to do or how to avoid this situation since Steve Wilson wanted a test of loyalty, but he had to keep up a straight face to look confident, and like it was no big deal.“I’m just kidding.” Steve Wilson chuckled, and returned the hand of truth into its box, and the person holding it, took it back.Lucas could almost sigh out of relief if not that he didn’t want to give Steve Wilson any hint that he was nervous to the peak. “I don’t need to use it for you since I believe you are willing to join us. But I will also have a use for you which would prove how willing you are to join my league.“What’s that?” Lucas asked.“Not a knowledge you are to know about, right now. I haven’t even thought and strategized about it, but when I do, I certainly will reach out to you.” Steve Wilson said to him, and then Lucas nodded.On the other hand, Adrian was set to go for the meeting he was to have with the Governor, and also checked the contact card that was give

Adrian went back to his company, filled with joy, knowing fully well that soon, Steve Wilson would get the bomb.He worked on other documents he was meant to work on until night fall when he retired.“Time to go home.” He said under his breath and then walked out of his office, taking his suit jacket along with him.He got into his car and then remembered that he wanted to search up that secretary. While he could have easily put a call through to Lucas to help him make that search, he couldn't, since Lucas was no longer a part of him.“Oh! There might be no need for me to make use of my phone or laptop to research on that woman.” Adrian smiled, recalling that the system in his head could do that.He was going to wait until he got home before he decided to do that so he could give it his full concentration rather than be distracted on the road.On getting home, he shared the news with Sophie and she was really happy.“Why don't we celebrate!” She voiced out happily.“No. Let's only cel

As he got into his car, he stared at the box for a while, and sighed.Then he drove off to a place which was a little far from Steve Wilson’s company, and parked his car just until he was done.He opened the box, and to his surprise, it was the hand of a little child. He could have almost thrown the box away, but he had to be calm so he wouldn’t make it known that he had touched the box.“What the hell!” He voiced out, still in shock.Then he brought out his phone, and took a photo of the box, then covered it up back, and placed it on the seat beside him, and took a deep breath before he started the car, drove off.Steve Wilson had sent him a text of the address he was to take it to, so all he had to do was to drive off to the person’s home.In about thirty minutes, he got to the mansion, and got down from the car with the box in his hand.He walked up to the gate, and the security guards turned to look at him, and stared at the box before they stared at him back.“I’m from Steve Wils

Adrian prepared for Lucas’ arrival. He had already told Sophie about it, and she also couldn’t wait to see him.“I’ll need you to stay in your room until I am certain that Lucas is really ready to be back with us.”“I don’t understand. But you told me that he realized his mistakes, and is ready to apologize.”“I know I said that, but we can’t just give him our full trust just like that. We both know it. He was damn clear about it when he told me he was leaving us and joining Steve Wilson. So, I can’t just believe it right away that he is back with us.”“So, how are you going to tell if he is truly back with us or not?” Sophie asked as she folded his arms, but then he heard the doorbell ring.Both he and Sophie shared a glance, and then Adrian placed his hands on Sophie’s shoulders.“I know you are eager to have him back to the squad, but our brains have to be in this as well. If you are hurt one more time, it is on you, and I don’t think I will ever forgive you.” Adrian made his point

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
