"If any harm comes to my father, I'll kill you!" Adam was so enraged that he didn't realize when he broke the hard door with his fists. He pulled the door apart completely and dashed inside. "Where the fuck are you? Come and face me!"But the ward was empty. Adam quickly checked his father. The ECG machine was still beeping normally. And his respiratory and heart rate was normal. By the time Adam could check the drip and really ascertain that his father was okay, the police had invaded the place. "There's no one here!" They reported to each other. "Go check the CCTV footage!""Are you sure?" Adam turned around to the bathroom, checking behind the curtains and everywhere but he couldn't find the trace of the person that passed the letter to him. "Where could he have disappeared to?" the head police quickly summoned his men to surround the hospital. Some doctors came to ascertain Felix's situation and announced. "The patient is perfectly fine. Nothing is wrong with him.""We still
Adam watched as Cleo quickly retrieved a bowl of water, her trembling hands placing the letter into the water. "It can't be more than a threat, why are you so-?""It's way more than that, Master. Only powerful men use this as a medium to pass messages across. And for him to go to this extent just to deliver the letter, it has to mean the content is very alarming!"Cleo's explanation didn't seem to make sense but Adam kept quiet. "There!" In the water, the letter had changed color from a white to a stark red with letters in black print becoming visible. 'Adam, you disregarded my warning the first time I gave it, but this time don't expect me to go easy on you. Stay away from Walters Corporations if you want the safety of your loved ones! Disregarding this letter is at your own detriment, don't blame me for being ruthless at the end of the day!'"How about you come and face me like a man?" Adam yelled at the letter. "Stop inc a coward and come out face to face!""You didn't tell me
"First, you'll be the one doing most of the work from now on. You do the delivery, mailing, messaging, customizing, branding and even emailing prospective clients!" Adam placed the offer in front of Skylar. "Are you willing to keep working under these terms?"She frowned, sending a hateful glare at Sabrina. "Then what would that bi-. Sorry, Miss Sabrina be doing?""She would be assisting me while I take over the Sales department and make it functional again.""What?" Sean and Roberto echoed from where they were seated. "I'm not going to ask you again, Miss Skylar." Adam relaxed back on his seat. He could easily let her go, but he needed to retain some staff with experience so the burden of training new entries won't be too taxing on Sabrina. "Alright. I'm willing to accept the terms.""Don't forget my instructions. Never use a vulgar, curse or swear word during official hours! One use and you're gone permanently." Adam said and waved both women off. "What do you think you're doing?
"Please have mercy on me! I'm innocent!" Lori screamed as Lord Jared pressed her head into the cold water again. "You're still so adamant, huh?" Jared pushed her off and returned to his seat. "Mum, why don't you just tell the truth? Perhaps Lord Jared would be gracious enough to forgive you!" Carmen shouted in fear. "Keep quiet!" Fred slapped her face. "What are you trying to say?""Son, you believe I'm innocent right?" Lori turned her swollen face to them. "I didn't try to murder anyone.""Yes, Mum. I totally believe that you are innocent, and it was all Adam Carson's plan to implicate you!""That's not true, Fred. Stop giving your mother false hope, she is guilty and we all saw it on the CCTV footage!" Carmen spoke up, but they all shut her down immediately. "What do you know about CCTV footage, Carmen? Who even asked for your input here?" Ernest yelled. "My mother is innocent, that's all I know. This man must have collaborated with that bastard to hurt my mother! That video is
"Are you ready to tell me the truth now?" Adam sat opposite Richard, his face grim and determined. "I'm all ears, Mr Richard. I'm willing to give you a benefit of the doubt that you did it for a reason. You took the company's money for a reason!"Richard only looked away, shame and guilt in his eyes. "I'm really sorry, son-, no, Adam. I have no right to call you son at this point.""I trusted you!" Adam banged the table angrily. "I supported you and told you all my secrets, is this how you repay me? By trying to ruin all what my father labored hard for?""I'm so sorry, Adam. Please forgive me." Richard said again, unable to look up. Adam crouched over the table to grab his hands. "I'm disappointed in you, Richard. From today onwards you're dead to me, don't ever try to contact me again!" With that, he turned around and spun out of the room. "The man has confessed to his crimes, sir. What do we do next?" The head inspector, Charles approached him with a smile. "What else? Charge hi
"What the hell are you doing with my fiance, Adam? Are you trying to snatch her from me?" Roberto barged into his office angrily. "There!" Adam threw the card and package she brought to the table. "She is inviting me to her friend's birthday party, as guess what?" Adam smirked. "Seems your fiance is the one chasing me!""Seraphina would never do that!" Roberto shook his head. "Even if we're not on good terms, she wouldn't betray my love so easily!" He retrieved his phone to final her number. But the call kept being directed to voicemail. "Do you want advice, Rob?" Adam scoffed. "That woman is only with you because of what you can offer, once she discovers another man that can offer her more, she'll dump you like hot potatoes!""That's bullshit, you're only pained because I was able to snatch your wife and give her all the things you weren't!""Console yourself all you want, just want that slut never to play wife to me again, as far as I'm concerned she's dead to me!"With that, Ada
"Whatever I choose to do my life is none of your business, Garrett." Perry laughed gently, her dimples showing off her cute smile. "I don't understand why you're getting so triggered? I thought it's all in the past and you're the matured one.""Me? Triggered?" Garrett stuttered, suddenly unable think up another scathing remark. Adam scrutinized his expression, the sudden tinge of red in his cheeks and slight nervousness in his expression. Perry held his gaze with a smile, and Garrett wasn't able to resist. "It's my choice where I do business, okay. The fact that we are enemies doesn't mean I shouldn't pursue my career in places that have high chances of success!""Leave this place already, no one wants you around here!" Roberto shouted. "Roberto, still as disrespectful and insolent as ever!" Perry shook her head and left. "Bitch, what did you just call me?" Roberto burst into a frenzy of cursing when her words finally sank in. By then, she was already long gone! "Where are the s
"This isn't about Roberto, Miss." Adam said. "I am not sure what beef you guys had, but what you said earlier struck me. You're willing to pursue your career in places with the highest chances of success!"She was silent. "Your company has potential, you only need more exposure with big companies like Walters Corporations. Do you want to throw off such golden opportunity because of a man that has refused to see past the past?""You're right." Perry sighed after a moment of silence. "It's refreshing to see that there's still some logical humans in that company.""Dinner is fine. Where do you suggest?""Oh, that's amazing." Adam smiled, giving her a quick restaurant he could still get a reservation by this time of the day. "Is 5pm okay by you? That's an hour from now.""Good, I'm still around." Perry replied. Adam got off the call with a large smile. His convincing skills were already developing. At dinner..."Nice to see you, Miss Jackson." Adam pulled out a chair for her. "Here are
