The trio all exchanged glances, and while Adrian didn't want Sophie to hear of all this, there was nothing he could do about it again, because she had already heard.He watched as tears ran down her eyes, and his heart broke.“Doctor, there has to be something you can do or say about this.” Lucas spoke, but Adrian raised his right hand as a gesture for Lucas not to bother speaking further.“We understand this could be beyond your medical knowledge, and it's fine. We'll find something else to do about it.”“No. I can make a research about it, and although, it can take a few days, but I'll be sure to get to the root of this for you, because this is really dangerous to her health.” The doctor insisted, also looking concerned.“No. You don't have to worry. She can't keep on like this, for days. I have another solution. Thank you for your time, and concern.” Adrian uttered, and the doctor had no choice than to heed to what Adrian had just told him.Then Adrian escorted him back outside, an

They all had no choice than to accept the news, as long as she was okay at that moment. Adrian also felt that he had to be quick with things, so that Sophie wouldn't have to go through such excruciating moment.“Thank you so much.” Adrian appreciated the toxicologist.“My pleasure.” He responded.Adrian had to escort the toxicologist and Andrew out, as time was far spent already, and they really tried by coming to their aid, by this time.“Alright, goodnight. And thanks so much again.” “You're welcome, Adrian. Just ensure she's fine.” Andrew spoke as he got into the car, and Adrian nodded in response.After he had watched their car, zoom into thin air, he went back inside, and up to the room where Sophie was.Sophie seemed to be sleeping soundly, which meant that she wasn't really feeling pain and all.It made Adrian feel less burdened and relieved that she was better, now.“I really do hope she doesn't have to go through that excruciating moment.” Lucas uttered as he stared at Soph

“No Adrian. Get that out of your mind.” Adrian said to himself, and concentrated on driving off to the Governor’s office. Soon, he got to the building where the Governor’s office was, and he dusted his suit, like there were specks of dust on it.“Let’s do this.” He encouraged himself, and walked right into the building.He was directed to the Governor’s secretary, and he didn’t have a hard time in finding out the secretary’s office as well.“Good day, I am Adrian George, and I had contacted you earlier, regarding meeting with the Governor. I have already sent a mail, stating the reasons I need to see him, but I haven’t gotten a response, yet, and it’s quite urgent.”“I’m sorry. But I’m not certain the Governor wants to see you. He didn’t show interest in your case which I presented to him.”“No… It’s probably a mistake. I know that when he sees my mail, he would attend to it.”“Well, he didn’t show interest in this particular one.” The secretary responded.“Look. The Governor’s offic

Adrian and Lucas were a little shocked to see Sophie in the office, dressed like nothing was going on with her. She was in a white T-shirt, and black cargo pants. There was a faint blush on her otherwise pale face. She ought not to be walking around. “What? Why are you staring at me like that? You don't like what I said? I'm taking your side, Adrian. I don't believe we should give in to Wilson.”“Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm glad you think that way. I'm not going to give in to Steve Wilson. Look, Lucas, I know that seems like the smartest thing to do right now, and it probably feels like the safest too, but trust me, we would regret doing that.” Adrian pressed on, and Lucas sighed.“I’m just— it feels like we're the ones who have more to lose, so I'm just thinking of the best way to, you know, just avert whatever perilous danger might come our way. By the way, Sophie, are you okay?” He asked, and Sophie leaned against Adrian's desk.“If I wasn't feeling a little okay, I think I'd be back

Adrian immediately went upstairs to check on Sophie, only to meet her standing right in front of a crashed lamplight, and a few plates which he had left for her, for breakfast.He felt relieved that it wasn't something dangerous, then he moved closer to her and began to check her body.“Are you okay?” He asked, out of concern.“Yes, I am.” Sophie responded softly.“How did this happen?” Adrian asked as he bent to pick up the broken pieces.“I felt a little dizzy when I suddenly stood up, so I crashed into them.” Sophie replied, and rubbed her body, smoothly.She had goosebumps all over as she had experienced shock when those things fell to the ground.“It's fine. You should sir for a while before you stand, okay?”“Yeah, I will.”“By the way, I was interviewing three house help before I got distracted by this. The one I choose would take care of you, and the house so you don't have to stress yourself on anything.” Adrian informed her, and Sophie smiled.“You didn't need to.” She said

“I hope you do understand, Lucas. Loyalty needs to be tested, sometimes, to be certain of our acquaintance, or alliance.”“Yes. You are right. And that’s why I asked you to know what I need to do to prove that I am in.”“Well, it all depends on you, Lucas. You should be able to do anything. Just show us. What do we need to see or know, to be certain that you’ve totally left your cheap gang?”Lucas sighed, and then thought for a while.“Alright, I know what to do. Listen up.” He urged Regina, and Regina listened keenly. “I have a log book of ideas which Adrian and I came up with, for our technological launch. Each idea if it is to be sold out, would cost about half a million dollars. Here it is.” Lucas said, handing over the log book to Regina.Regina opened it, and stared at each of them, with widened eyes.“Wow.” She exclaimed softly. “You’re really giving this out?”“Yeah, I am. It’s going to be really beneficial for Steve Wilson’s companies, or whichever company he wishes to bless

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

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
