Regina looked at them all, enjoying the looks of shock on the faces of the men. Then she walked over to him, and bent, placing a hand on the table, and the other behind his chair. He wouldn't deny the ice in her eyes. Everything about her seemed cold, and although he hated her being that close to him, he did not budge. He stared at her right in the eye, without fear. “You must be having a hard time, right?” She spoke softly. “Well, I've had a harder time.” She said, then straightened up, without taking her eyes off Lucas for a second. She seemed to build for revenge, and in her eyes were the echoes of pain, and cold. She took a few steps backwards, before giving a smile that didn't reach her eyes, then she turned away, walking out of the hall. The executives all looked like they had been holding their breaths, and they let it out quickly, looking at each other. “I believe we've discussed all we need to discuss.” Lucas said, getting to her feet. Sitting around, doing nothing was s

The next day, Lucas was informed that the executives wanted to have a meeting with him, as they had something they needed him to know, before he took any action.As he knotted his tie, his mind couldn’t help but drift to what the executives had to say to him, when they could have said, at the last meeting.It meant they had discussed among themselves after then and had concluded on something which they would like to tell him about.His phone rang, and saw that it was a call from Sophie, so he answered it.“Lucas, I heard the executives wanted a conference meeting as they have something to say to you.”“So, I heard. Well, I’m done dressing up, so, I’ll be on my way to the company soon.”“Hmm. I don’t have a good feeling about this. Any news about Adrian, yet?” Sophie asked, worriedly.“No, not yet. Let’s just hope for the best.” Lucas uttered, trying to sound positive.“Alright then. I’m also on my way to the company.”“Okay. See you later, then.” Lucas said, then the call disconnected

“Mr. George, you, you actually understand what we're doing, right? You know that all this is for the sake of the company.” One of them said, waving his arm around the building. "He’s right. What else would this be for if not for the company's sake, Adrian? It's just a way of, you know, sorting things out strategically." Another pleaded, his voice trembling."Save it," Adrian snapped, with his eyes hard, and harsh. "You're doing it to save your own skin.""No, Adrian, please listen—" The first one tried to interject."I don't want to hear it," Adrian cut him shut. "You're either with me or against me. And right now, it looks like you're against me. Doesn't it? Everything you were saying, I heard it all. You didn't even give a damn. You were so ready to take me out."“You have to calm down. It's not as it seems, and…” They were saying and Regina's eyes narrowed, her fingers curling into fists. She stared at the executives with her jaw clenching, and her voice came out low and menacing.

They all drove to Adrian’s home, and he served them both a glass of juice, each, and sat before them as he placed his, on the center table.“So, I decided that I would have a conversation with you both, once I saw you. And here we are. I’m certain you have a lot of questions, but I’m going to answer what I can, and it’s going to be answers to a primary question.” Adrian said to them, and Sophie, especially leaned closer, ready to hear what he had to say.She would have started with nagging him on why he had disappeared, and left so many things at stake, but since he had spoken first, and was going to explain to them what happened, she remained clam.“So, I’m certain that the first question which would be on your mind, is where I disappeared to. And my answer is I went on a business trip, with someone important. I’m not sure yet, if what we went for was successful, but I hope it would.”“Adrian, this isn’t right. When did you start having secret business trips which you wouldn’t inform

Adrian got to the restaurant, and walked up the stairs, which took him to the rooftop. Just as Josephine said, the rooftop looked much better, even though Josephine meant his presence would make it look much beautiful than the first few times they went there.The breeze was inviting as the day was just beginning to end. It was certain that any conversation could go smoothly, especially if it was one in which they agreed on the same thing.“Alright, I’m here. Why have you asked to see me?” Adrian asked her as he slipped his hand into his pocket.Josephine scoffed lightly, and she sighed. “Well, don’t you recall you were the one who asked where I was?” She spoke, and folded her arms.“You obviously wanted to see me. I only asked for the location. And if you have nothing to say, I can just leave. I have better things to do.” Adrian uttered, looking like he didn’t care much, which truly, he didn’t. “Take a chill pill, Adrian. You always have this nonchalant attitude, and I believe it’s b

“Who the hell?” He managed to say, under his breath, before he fell to the ground, hoping that a bigger trouble won’t have occurred if he ever woke up.~The next time he woke up, he woke up on a bed, and the fact that he was bound in shackles, while on the bed, made him feel uncomfortable, and killed the thought that he might be in Andrew’s home.He tried to break free from the shackles, even when he knew that it was somehow impossible, due to how strong it was. “Who is out there! Get me out of this thing!” Adrian yelled out, in anger.He was tired of the whole thing. Having to jump from one fire to another fire of trouble, without even being able to bounce back at people doing these things.To him, he was beginning to feel like he hadn’t made a comeback at all.“I said get me out of these chains!” Adrian yelled out again, disgusted at the fact that it made him feel like he was a beast that they had to detain.Then the door opened, and he adjusted himself while he sat up. To his sho

Andrew placed a hand on his chin, “You can't lose it, Adrian. Damn, when’s this shit gonna finish?’ “Andrew, I feel weak.” Adrian said, feeling energy being drained and squeezed out of him while strange liquid oozed out from his head.“You know what? You're gonna have to hold your scream in, keep your consciousness because I will make the gash longer.”“What?” Adrian's head went fuzzy. He was going to feel that crazy pain in that same throbbing side of his head. “Just do it… but be careful I don't lose it, while you're still on it.” He said, and Andrew picked up his scalpel. Adrian watched it as it came closer, unable to take his eyes off. Finally, as it came so close, he shut his eyes tight, and felt the cool metal on a throbbing part of his head before it sunk in.“Andrew.” Adrian gritted out, not being able to scream as he send. The slice was sharp, painful, and he got scared that Andrew would cut a vein, and would end his life right there on the spot.He gripped his chains, pull

Andrew understood that he was still trying to pass through the phase of the mini surgery he had just had.“Adrian, try to calm down. Do not put too much pressure on yourself.” Andrew tried to caution him.Adrian couldn’t really hear what he said, so, he was still going through the excruciating pain which the high piercing sound, was giving him, at that moment.“Arrrgh.” Adrian grunted in pain.Andrew had no choice than to sedate him, as things could get worse if he left him that way.“I’ll be right back. Just hold on.” He urged, and then quickly left.He went into the little office he had in his home, and then searched through the trolley to get a syringe.“Yes.” He said as he found it, and then got what he needed, before he dashed back to the room which he kept Adrian.By then, Adrian had fallen to the ground, and was writhing in pain.“Shit” Andrew cursed, and quickly injected him with the syringe.Slowly, Adrian began to calm down and his breathing pace became normal. “Easy. Yes,

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
