Adrian put back his phone into his pocket, and focused on Mr. Nichole. He wasn’t comfortable since the moment he got that text, so he wanted to put an end to the unnecessary conversation.“Uhm. Mr. Nichole. I’ll like to take my leave, as something urgent came up.” Adrian said to him, and Mr. Nichole found no offense in that.They could still talk if they had any untouched conversation or something. As he stepped out of his office and got to his car, he put a call through to Lucas, and Lucas answered the call immediately.“Hey, bro!”“You just texted me, saying something is up.”“Oh, yeah. That was a mistake. It was a draft which I sent mistakenly.”“A draft?”“Yes. The one I should have sent, during the time you just acquired the building.” Adrian let out an exhausted sigh, and rolled his eyes. Although, he was glad that nothing was up, but then, the manner in which he had to quickly leave, had gotten him worked up. He couldn’t go back to Mr. Nichole, so he just decided to go back to
"We’ll talk more on this, tomorrow. As for today, you know how sacred it is for me. I won’t be engaging in any work, no matter how pressing it is.” Adrian said, standing on his ground.“I understand, buddy. It’s noted.” Lucas replied, acknowledging what was more important to Adrian, at this moment.They both stayed at the cemetery until it was 6pm.“Alright, it’s time to leave.” Adrian urged as he rose to his feet.Lucas also rose to his feet and helped Adrian pack up the few things he had set up and then placed it in the car.“Thanks for your help, Lucas. You should go home to rest and then tomorrow, we’ll look into the problem we have. Thanks for your concern again.” Adrian appreciated him and then got into his car.Lucas smiled and then walked to his car as well, then got into it and stared the engine immediately Adrian drove off.He was glad that Adrian was okay and nothing bad had happened to him, but he also hoped that their current problem at work would have a solution. They ha
“Hey baby.” Regina spoke with a smile as she just finished setting up the table for dinner. Her ex had come over to her house as they had seen each other at a restaurant, and Regina had not been able to get her mind off him, ever since that moment.So, they decided to hook up in her house. Her parents had welcomed him in, and had gone out for their own special outing, so it was only both of them, left.While he stared at her as she cleaned the kitchen, the atmosphere around them, changed, and all that filled Regina’s eyes, was love for him. He moved closer to her, and held her hands, then stared into her eyes. At that point, Regina could feel herelf get wet, desiring all of him.“I really love you, Regina. And I will do anything in my power to prove that to you. I will ensure you never regret this day.” He said as he grabbed her waist, closer to him.A gasp escaped her throat, and bursts of pleasure like fireworks, came from down there, and sprang up to her head.Before I knew what w
He finally answered the call, and there was Mr. Daniel’s elated voice, over the phone.“Yeah. I’m sorry I had to take a break. You know anything could just pop up for a businessman, but I’m just glad you were able to answer the call.” Mr. Daniels said, with an obvious smile.“Oh, it’s fine, sir. We are all into business, and since you and I are talking about business, I should be able to honor every time you’re able to give to us.” Adrian uttered respectfully.Mr. Daniels chuckled a little and gave out a relaxed sigh. “You are funny, Mr. Adrian. Alright! Let’s get back to the main deal.”Adrian could feel his heart, beating out loud, and he felt that if he wasn’t careful, his heart was going to beat out of his chest.“I’m all ears.” He responded faintly, even if Mr. Adrian wouldn’t hear how faint his voice, was, because he would have asked if anything was wrong.“Alright. So, I told you I’m going to help you with the Pretiosus metal, and I’m going to ensure I keep my word, so you can
The trio rejoiced without having to voice out as Adrian was still on a call, with Mr. Daniels, receiving all the instructions he needed, to get the Pretiosus metal, successfully. After the whole instructions had been given, and that he had written them all down, it was time the call ended.“Thank you so much, sir.” Adrian appreciated him, from the bottom of his heart.“You are welcome, Adrian George. Have a nice day.”Then the call disconnected, and Adrian, Lucas, and Sophie rejoiced again, happily.Adrian didn’t care if Mr. Daniels had actually just made that deal to save his face, as obviously, he would have felt he had lost the respect that Adrian had for him as a person.“So, tomorrow morning. We’re going to make the right move, people.” Adrian uttered, and they chuckled.A meeting was arranged between Adrian and the production team, and they were also informed of the news, which made them happy, and they all rejoiced, ready to work as much as they ought to. That night, Adrian w
Although, Lucas felt kind of skeptical about letting things just play out, because the kind of people they were dealing with, were top ranked, and also knew how to get rid of people, so it was only understandable that he was panicking and uncertain that things would work, just the way they wanted it to.But then, he decided to trust Adrian, since he had always come out victorious in anything, no matter how tough the problem was, at that moment.“Alright, boss. So, the contest is said to hold in two weeks’ time, which means we have just 14 days to prepare all we need, to make this a success.” Lucas informed.“Okay. And when will the registration, commence?” Adrian asked, trying to see how things could be beneficial for them, if they worked with time, and used it well.“Tomorrow morning. The registration, and introduction of participants and judges, will be happening, tomorrow.” Lucas responded as he informed him of the news which Sophie had researched.“Alright then. Where is Sophie, b
“Sir. I… I don’t know what’s going on. Did I do something wrong?” She asked, looking like tears were going to fall from her eyes, if Adrian went further with being cold to her.“So, when I give you something to eat, it is a bad omen to you, right?”“No. Mot that, sir. Just that… the way you’ve been asking me to eat.” Martha said, looking quite uncomfortable.“Look. You’re wasting my time, Martha. I have a whole lot to do, and I don’t like the way I’m acting towards you, now. It could get worse if you don’t give me what I want.” Adrian threatened, expecting her to confess if she couldn’t bring herself to eat it.“Alright, sir.” She spoke, and then bent to pick up the spoon, then slowly, took a spoon of the food, and ate its content, and Adrian watched as she swallowed it.“Good. It’s not as difficult as you made it seem. Now, take it to the microwave. I need it to get hot, back. You made my food go cold, just for some reasons I don’t understand.” Adrian uttered, and she picked up the t
Adrian got to the venue and so many people attended, just to see the faces of those who were contesting. Although, he had faced a merciless traffic congestion on his way, here, but all that was forgotten, the moment he got to the venue."It's a very big one, isn't it?" Lucas uttered as he looked everywhere."I know, right? The whole audience who would be here would be really cool, and it's going to be more like the whole world, automatically, has come to watch you.""Exactly. You are right."Just while they were talking randomly, they heard a loud piercing sound which was caused by the microphone that was going to be used."Let all contestants get ready to introduce themselves."As they said that, Adrian left Lucas and went to sit where the other contestants were. "They all greeted each other, and while he didn't know who was representing Steve Wilson's other company, he knew he was going to end up knowing about that, once the person came up on stage to introduce him or herself and
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
