“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

His ears perked up naturally, eager to hear more. After his encounter with the strict receptionist, he was desperate for any lead on Steve Wilson. He just wasn't expecting it from a cab driver. “How did you know about Steve Wilson?” He questioned her, with a raised brow, keen to hear her response.“Well, it’s a story I don’t really want to talk about.” She responded dryly like she couldn't care less, but looking at her through the front mirror, he could tell that her countenance had fallen.It made Adrian even more curious. For her to have such a reaction to Steve Wilson, then it could only mean that she had to know him on a more personal level. An outsider watching Steve Wilson couldn't just have that kind of reaction. Moving forward, he spoke, “I came here to see Steve Wilson. You know something about him, don't you? How about telling me what you know about him? It shouldn't cost a lot, should it? You’ve been helping me since I got to Paris. How about you help me one more time?”

Adrian was dumbfounded, and his heart began to pound in fear. How did he know him? Did he do research on his grandfather's company? Even still, he didn't think he ought to be recognized that easily. “What do you mean?” Adrian managed to ask, although he couldn't hide the tremble in his voice. “You know me?” Just then, Wilson barked out a laugh and walked towards him. He placed a hand on his chin, and raised his head, looking at him, even though he wasn't taller than Adrian was. “Young chap. You seem familiar. I just don't know where I've seen you.” He said, and his eyes fell on the fake business card.“Joe Turner.” He murmured. “You’re into tech?”“Yes, sir. Our company is intending to be one of the largest tech companies in the city. But of course, yours will still be greater than ours.” Adrian said, trying to banish the fear from his voice. “Let him go. He doesn't look like the con artists roaming around these days. And if he is, you all know how they end up.” The men left Adria

Adrian felt it couldn't be a co-incidence. Every place he passed through, the man was right there, a distance away from him.More like the man didn't want to be seen by him or sort. But Adrian wasn't a man who would just walk on the roads without being conscious of whatever was going on, around him."Who could this possibly be?" He questioned, under his breath.But then, it didn't take long before it came to him that it could actually be Wilson's man. He must have wanted to tail him, just to know more current details about him.Adrian then smiled. He planned to make the day an interesting one, for the spy. He was going to make them believe him by faking a lot of things until he felt it was time for him to go back to Blue Sky Hotel.The first place he headed to, was a coffee shop. In that coffee shop, he called out the attendant after she had served him coffee."Have you ever thought having the perfect entity to tell you the best outfit to wear for the day? Rather than having to ask di

The next day, he was contacted by Steve Wilson’s secretary, asking him to come over to the company, as Steve Wilson wanted to see him. Adrian was happy because he had been invited to Steve Wilson’s main company.It meant that Steve Wilson had gotten a level of trust in him, and it was certain he would be able to ruin him.After the call with the secretary ended, he put a call through, to Sophie.“He just called me, through his secretary. He invited me to his company.”“That’s good news!” Sophie voiced out, happily.“I know right?”“You know what? I will advise you to place a tapping device in his hospital when you see him. It is going to be really beneficial for you.”“Hmmm Alright then. I can just get one done, as quickly as possible.”“Exactly. That would be much better. So, are you going to come pick me up?” Adrian asked, After Adrian ended the call, he got prepared for his meeting, and when Sophie got to the hotel, he went down to meet her.“Alright, you know where I could get the

The next day, Adrian was ready for another plan that he wanted to utilize and hoped deeply that it was going to go the way he wanted.“So, all you just have to do is to make sure he believes it,” Lucas said, trying to confirm what they had agreed on.“Yes. And it can’t be complete without you answering my call, at the right time.”“Sure, I will.”Adrian and Lucas had planned that Adrian was going to call Lucas over the phone, for a video call with him and Steve Wilson. Lucas was going to act like he had once invested in the idea that they were bringing in for Steve Wilson.“Okay, bro. I got to go, now. Steve Wilson has agreed to see me.”“Wish you success.” Adrian stepped out of the hotel. Sophie pulled up, and he got into her car. “So, I’m going to drop you off, halfway, and then you can enter into another cab.”He and Sophie had agreed that he would only be using her can as transport, while he paid the fare, as a reward for helping him. So, Adrian was going to be a daily passenger f

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
