Huh? Adrian stared at him with a confused look, unable to understand what he meant by that statement. “What do you mean, Sir?” He asked and the middle-aged man before him smiled while stroking his long beard. The man only smiled and looked away without saying anything. Adrian knew that he didn't want to say anything about the comment he made so he decided not to be persistent. “From the look of things, you must be rich. May I know what brought you to this place in the first place?” He asked. “Yes, you're right not every question has an answer,” the man spoke up after a few seconds of silence. Adrian nodded his head without saying anything after hearing the man's statement. Of course, he knew the man had an agenda but he couldn't tell what it was. Although he didn't have any reason to know what the man was planning, he wanted to know why such a powerful man stooped so low to stay in a cell. “Hope you aren't annoyed that I didn't give you the answer you wanted or expected,” the
“Huh? What are you talking about?” She asked with a confused look but he paid no attention to her countenance. He was burning with rage, remembering what he passed through in the infirmary and how he had almost given up the ghost just to prove a point to her. Sending him to jail isn't enough for her? Why is she acting nice and pretending as though nothing happened? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. Maybe that was the reason why she was quite nervous when she noticed that he was the one at the doorstep and not someone else. “You don't need to pretend. I know you're angry at me for what I did to him but I didn't expect you to go as far as trying to…” he took a deep breath as his heartbeat began to race rapidly more than its normal pace. “Pretend? What are you talking about, huh?” She yelled back at him and he looked up at her with a confused look. Judging from her countenance and statement, he could tell that she didn't know anything about what he was seeing an
“What do you mean by that?” Adrian asked in a cold tone, unable to understand what Brian was saying. “What didn't you understand? That part that I said that the maid refused to say anything or the part that I said it's a wonder you managed to survive,” Brian said in a cold tone and chuckled. He turned to Adrian with a sly smile on his face. “Who cured you? Let me know. It won't be hard to compensate the person who managed to cure the Lambia poison,” Brian said and he swallowed hard. “The Lambia poison?” He asked with a surprised look on his face and Brian smirked discreetly. “I'm sure you haven't gone deaf all of a sudden,” he said.“Judging by your expression, you should know how dangerous and powerful that poison is,” Brian said, and Adrian bit on his lower lips. The Lambia poison could be regarded as one of the most rare and lethal poisons in the world that kills in no less than thirty minutes. “What! How could you do such a thing?”“That's because you're overstepping your b
Adrian stared at his mother-in-law with a confused look on his face. He dropped the phone and stared at her deeply, unaware of why she was asking him such a question. “May I know what you mean? I don't seem to understand,” he said and she scoffed. “What don't you understand, huh?” She asked in a cold tone and he swallowed hard. “I said why didn't you accept Chloe's offer? Why did you reject it?” She asked and he shook his head with a sigh after he understood what she meant. “Because I feel there's no reason to accept the offer,” he replied and she glared at him viciously.She was angry at him for talking to her in such a tone. “No reason?” She asked and scowled. “How dare you say such a thing, huh! You've been eating and living without contributing to help the family. You'd the opportunity to hit the jackpot but you turned it down and even still have the gut to talk to me in such a way,” she said and he shook his head.He dropped the spoon on the table and placed his hand under
“Yes, you're right. I'm your husband,” Adrian said and a proud smile crept on her face. “But why are you asking me all these questions lately?” his wife, Sarah, asked with a confused look on her face and he looked away. “That's because you've been acting strange lately but now, I understand,” he said and she scoffed. “You’re my husband so I have every reason to be by your side and support you,” she said and he smiled gently. “Thank you for standing by me,” he responded and she smiled gently at him. “Yeah. I would be with you through thick and thin that's the vow we made. Isn't it?” She asked and he nodded his head. “And besides, I'm the reason why you're in this state. This wouldn't have happened to you if you didn't come and push me from getting hit by the running truck,” she said and he shook his head with a sigh. “You don't have to think like that, okay? I did that because you're my wife.”“I don't want you to think that I'm in this state because of you. You don't owe me an
“Transaction fail?” He asked with a confused look on his face and the sales rep scoffed and then snatched the POS machine from him. “Yeah. And that's because you're poor. You shouldn't have stress if you know that you don't have enough funds in your account,” she brought out the ATM card and threw it at him. “Keep it to yourself. I'll let you go off the hook but next time you stress me out without paying your bill, I'll make sure I call the security guards on you,” she said in a cold tone and he lowered his head in shame. He arched his eyebrows and stroked his chin gently with a confused look on his face. He couldn't understand why his account couldn't make the payment successful. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked up with a cold look on his phone as a message popped into his phone. He hissed and shook his head upon reading the content of the message. It was a message from the Finite Bank where he saved his money. “We had issues processing the payment you made a few minute
“Huh!” Brian pulled out of Sarah and Sarah jerked up with a shocked expression on her face. Her body trembled as she noticed the look that was in Adrian's eyes. At that moment, he looked down and heartbroken. He was having a hard moment to maintain his cool. He was losing himself. “What… are you doing here?” She stammered and lowered her head in shame, unable to stare at his face. She couldn't afford to look at his face because of the shame. It was unfortunate that she had to have sex with Brian a day after she told him that she'd do nothing for Brian. What type of woman would that make her he? He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. “I thought you're… working in the restaurant… or the,” she shuttered, unaware of what to say. “Is that what you'll say after seeing this?” He asked in a heartbroken tone and she shook her head vehemently.“What else do you expect her to say?” Brian asked and he turned to him with a dark gaze. He glared at Brian warningly and he nodded
“2 thousand dollars,” he muttered to himself and stroked his chin with a confused look.“How would you like to pay, Sir?” The bartender asked in a cold tone and he turned to the man, who looked away quickly. “Card,” he said and the bartender nodded his head. He brought out his ATM card and gave it to the man, who collected it and slotted it into the machine. “Your pin, Sir?” The man asked and he turned to the man.He inputted his pin and turned to the man, who stared at him with utmost attention. He arched his eyebrows with a confused look on his face as the man turned to him with a frown on his face. “What's wrong?” He asked. He knew his account no longer had any issues as it may seem. “What's the meaning of this, sir?” The man asked in a cold tone as he stretched the POS machine to him. He stared at the POS machine with a confused look on his face. His eyes widened in shock upon reading the content of the electronic receipt. “Transaction fail?” He asked and the man scoffed.
