Adrian waited for a response, anxiously, wondering what was going to be the end result of all his plans. As he stood, his heartbeat couldn’t help but beat fast.“Alright, so we have agreed on something, and our answer is going to be that… We’re going to try out this investment, and when we say try out, we mean we’re going to go all-in.” Steve Wilson said, with a smile.Adrian almost voiced out a yes, victoriously, but he knew that would be too suspicious. He had to be on a low profile, until things worked out for him, regarding this Steve Wilson’s mission which his grandfather sent him on.“Oh! That’s a great decision, I promise you.” Adrian said, with a smile, and they all chuckled.“So, when should my secretary make the payment?” Steve Wilson asked as he leaned his chin on his clasped fingers.“Well, tomorrow is fine,” Adrian answered, hoping they were going to agree because he had limited time.He would have said today, but as he didn’t want to make anything seem suspicious, he had

As Adrian got into a cab, he put a call through to Sophie.“Hey Sophie, how’s it going?” He asked her as he leaned on the car’s backseat.“It’s going pretty well. I’ve managed to engage them, and we are all waiting for your signal.” Sophie reported, sounding like an expert.“Good. Anyways, you can tell them to start heading to this place in thirty minutes, so that they’ll be able to meet us in time.”“Alright then. Be careful, as well.” Sophie showed her concern.“Thanks. And you too.”He hoped that when things went well, and he had money, he would compensate her for all that she did, regardless of her being a stranger.He hung up, and let out a deep breath. He needed to do that as he was going to face a beast who could unleash at him if he found out that he was the one behind his downfall.On getting to SW company, he was escorted in, and Steve Wilson seemed to be in a good mood, along with the two men who were with him.“Morning, Adrian. It’s nice to see you.”“Same here, Mr. Steve W

Adan was filled with joy on his way back to the hotel. Sophie and Lucas were waiting for him, for them to rejoice together, and when he got there, they voiced out “Congratulations” to him.“Hey, buddy. I’m so happy for you.” Lucas uttered and patted his shoulder.“Same here. Congratulations on staying strong and defeating the almighty Steve Wilson.” Sophie added, with a captivating smile.“Thanks so much, guys. I couldn’t have done it without you. We all know that, and I’m so grateful. Who would have been able to keep everything confidential, if not you both?”“Enough with the praises. My head is about to blow up.” Lucas laughed out loud.They all laughed happily. ~They had spoken about a lot until Adrian went to a secluded area to call his grandfather.“Hello, grandfather. How are you doing?”“I’m doing fine. I hope you know tomorrow is the last day, and I haven’t gotten any feedback from you, son.”“I’m sorry, grandfather. But that’s because I didn’t want to give you information o

He headed home immediately, with Sophie, and when he got home, he was welcomed in by the security guards.As he walked into the living room, he was surprised to see his grandfather sitting on the sofa, with his lawyer sitting on the same sofa with him.“Welcome home, my grandson.” His grandfather uttered, with joy filling his heart.Adrian really felt good and also concluded that family was the best, and only they would be happy about his progress, and would also support him when needed.Despite the fact that his grandfather had left him to go on that mission, just to prove that he was ready to take over his businesses, he still provided him with some necessary funds. That was to show that he cared about him, and would do anything to ensure he was safe and sound.“Thanks so much, grandfather,” Adrian responded, and then gave his grandfather a deep hug.After they disengaged, his grandfather noticed Sophie standing, with a smile on her face. He was also captivated by her smile, in the

On the day of George Lawrence’s burial, Adrian’s grandfather, so many people attended and mourned him, but the one who felt the greatest pain was Adrian.Apart from the fact that he was about to be willed one of the greatest possessions in the world, he lost the only family he had. The family who proved to him that blood was thicker than water, and love reigned very much between them.Adrian was quiet while everyone wailed, but a lot was going through his mind. He only knelt and stared at his grandfather’s smiling photo.“Why did you leave, so suddenly? Why didn’t you spend more time with me? Were you that in a hurry to go to a world where peace reigns, and leave me here in a world, filled with evil?” Adrian thought to himself as tears welled up in his eyes, but unwilling to fall.Days before the burial, he didn’t come out of the house, and only kept to himself. Neither Sophie nor Lucas could get to him, and day by day, they hoped he was fine, as they communicated through the maid in

Steve Wilson walked in further and laughed again.“Oh, how interesting life can be, isn’t it, Adrian?” He questioned, rhetorically.“How did you…”“Oh, you don’t need to sweat it, Adrian. It was really a simple thing, and which is why I said you’re nothing but a lad. You don’t understand how things work, in this life, and even in the business world. However, I will commend you for one thing, and that’s your wit, your intelligence, and ability to think fast. It’s just that the inexperienced will always be the same if they haven’t experienced a thing.” Steve Wilson lectured and then grabbed a seat.“You are meant to be in jail. Did you break out?” Adrian questioned, with bloodshot eyes.“Come on. How is it possible for a middle-aged man like me, to break out of prison? You watch too many movies. Anyways, if you really want to know, all I had to do was to give a little bribe, and I was released.” He spoke and closed his eyes in satisfaction.Those words irritated Adrian so much that he w

Adrian looked at both his front, and back again. He knew what they planned to do with him, without even having to ask. What he didn’t know, was who sent them, and why they were after him, as they didn’t look like the usual robbers who only came at people, when they are alone, and harmless/Besides, he didn’t have anything that robbers could take away from him.“Who are you, guys? Who sent you to me!” He confronted them, with a squeezed face.At least, even though he was surrounded by dangerous people, he didn’t want to give off the fact that there was no way he could beat them all, at once.“That should be obvious to you, by now.” One of the men spoke.“Steve Wilson?” Adrian voiced out, but not totally certain.“Bingo.” Before he could say a word, they dashed towards him and began to beat him with the batons, kicking him in the stomach, and even pulling his hair, like they were going to yank it out.“Let me go!” Adrian yelled, trying to fight back, but these men, were twice his size,

“Look, Adrian. I know a lot has happened, and you may not be in the right state of mind to make decisions. And…and that’s why we are here; here for you. Don’t say that. We… we can figure this out, together.” Lucas uttered, trying to dissuade him from going solo.“Lucas. You know that feeling when something seems to be calling you, out there. You can’t see it, but you can feel it. And you know that the end of it is going to be bright.”“Yeah,” Lucas responded reluctantly.“That calling has to do with me, alone. I’ve got to start from scratch, get experienced, to be able to show those people that I’m still going to be boss, regardless of how many times they win.” Adrian uttered, staring into blank space like he could see his words, come alive.Lucas let out a relented sigh, connected the heel of his palm to his face, and dragged it down to his chin.“I’d like some rest.” He said, after drinking the tea which Lucas served him.The tea made him feel relaxed and calm, and all Adrian wanted

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
