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,

Adrian Johnson picked out the most colorful bouquet from the shelf of the flower shop and had it wrapped up. "I'm surprising my hardworking wife tonight, she's getting back from a business trip," he explained to the florist who smiled and wrapped up the bouquet for him.Regina, his wife for the past few years had been working extra hard to secure a deal in her family business and she had finally gotten it done. Adrian was so excited to see her and celebrate, maybe, he might even get lucky and she would finally allow them to make love tonight, he thought. A few minutes later, he stopped in front of the neighbourhood and went across the street to a mall to grab a bottle of the finest wine. He's already ordered her favorite Chinese food and he'd fix her a warm bath before she returned. But to his surprise, he saw her car parked just a few blocks from the mall. Adrian wondered if her flight had somehow arrived early and she failed to inform him, he walked closer to the car, and to his s

Regina soon realizes that her husband won't be coming back to beg her or take her back. She is in the office with her new lover who is trying to kiss her but she shrugs him off. "I am bothered about that loser husband of mine, he isn't coming back to beg like I expected him to," she said worriedly. "I thought you said he would surely come back to grovel," her rich lover, Raymond said and she shook her head, "Well, clearly he isn't doing that," she snapped. "What do you suggest we do?" Raymond asked her and she looked at the window below. "The entire city will think it's my fault we broke up, he will tell everyone that I cheated and got pregnant," she said and groaned. "Don't tell me that you're regretting having a baby for me already," Raymond scolded her with a glare. Regina moved to the desk and kissed him on the cheeks, "Of course not, I don't regret loving you, Ray, I'm just worried that the elder of the family will punish me once the rumors start spreading and my siblings wi

Adrian watched as Regina remorselessly painted him as the devil before all her workers, "You are a dog! Did you expect me to keep tolerating your cheating habits? I have loved you and what do you pay me back with? Your flings and mistresses! I've had enough, I want a divorce!" She snapped. "Have you forgotten so soon that I'm the one who caught you in the car, pants down with your lover?" He asked her. Regina pretended to gasp and laid her hands on her chest, "You liar! How could you try to put this on me, Adrian? You should be begging for forgiveness instead of lying after what you've done to me," she said, shaking her head, "You should be ashamed."Adrian shook his head at her shameless nature. It was clear that she had it all plotted out just to save her reputation. "You're right, I should be the one ashamed to even be called a partner to such an unspeakable woman," he replied and shook his head, "Your lies have just made me lose my job and now everyone believes I wronged you when

The taste of being himself again was quite thrilling and unlike what Adrian had expected it. He wasn't as sad as he'd thought over losing the bet with his grandfather. Regina wasn't worth the pain, since she was bent on wealth and status, she didn't deserve his love. At once, he decided it was time for him to call his butler, the famous Sir Alfred of his family, and tell him about grandfather Gerald's decision to reinstate him as heir. "Hello, young master?" The butler said just as he answered the phone. "How did you know?" Adrian couldn't help but ask and the man chuckled over the phone. "News about the Gerald family spreads fast," he replied. "I will need my cards back," he said but was less surprised to be informed that his cards were available already. Grandfather had planned everything out and was ready for him to lose. "I'm heading to you right now, young master," Alfred replied and the call ended. Right outside the office where he stood, the butler arrived in a silver

Adrian watched as Regina and her lover both arrived in a convertible and stepped out of the car. The crowd went frenzy and struggled to ask Regina questions about the divorce. "Miss Regina, how long has it been since you knew that your husband has been cheating on you?" One of the reporters asked. "Ma'am, how did you cope with such a vile man?" Another one asked and Regina wore a casual expression on her face as she replied. "I don't want to relive all the hurt and pain he's put me through, thankfully this is the last day I'll spend with such a man," Regina replied with a sad look for the cameras that flashed everywhere and finally walked past the paparazzi. "Are you going to lie your way into the courtroom?" Adrian asked in disgust and Regina turned to see him standing on the porch. She smirked at him and linked hands with her new lover as she drew closer to him and whispered, "There's no lie, not when the entire world believes it," she replied and chuckled. Her lover looked at

Adrian arrives at his new company. The court session had left him pretty sullen but not because he missed his wife, no, he was pissed off at being caught in the web of her lies and deceit in the first place. As he arrived at the company, he met with his grandfather right at the entrance. The old man had on a white suit, matching white shoes, and a white hat. He looked pretty smart in the outfit. "It's so good to see you, Adrian, after so many years," he added. Adrian bowed to his grandfather and the 001 of the Gerald family. He hadn't seen him in such a long time too, after making that bet, he was almost sure that he wouldn't be coming back home. "It feels good to be back, I guess," he replied with a flat tone. He still felt odd about taking over that company after so many years. "Don't worry, I don't want to overwhelm you with all the work at the main company, I will allow you to handle the subsidiary until you're sure you can fully take over," Grandpa said. Adrian nodded, "Tha

"Are you sure of this?" Adrian asked and the secretary nodded. "I would never say a thing to you that I wasn't sure of, master," she replied. Adrian nodded and decided that he had to lead Richmond on. He had to find out more about him. "If his company is bankrupt, does that mean he may be only with Regina because of the money?" He asked. But it wasn't even a question that he needed to ask. Something told him that Richmond was indeed using Regina. An amused smile crossed his face at the thought of it. It would be quite ironic. "Good, keep tabs on him. Do not turn down his proposal no matter how shitty, I need you to keep him hopeful, make him a part of the company," he said. Taraji looked at him oddly, like she didn't trust his choice but she simply nodded. "As you wish, young master," she replied and left. The next day, after his morning run, Adrian decided to have another meeting with Traaji. He now knows that not only is Richmond involved in illegal activities, but he is also tr

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.

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
