The Plane slowly crawled to a halt on the tarmac,the engine noise slowly descending to a halt, joining in is a cacophony of whirrs and thuds of planes in the surrounding. 'At least the weather wasn't half as bad as Colorado' Adams thought,glancing through the mirror. He waits until Roberto, his cousin walkes out of the plane without saying a single word, not like he could be bothered to talk to that oaf Adam's thought, his face hardening as he recalls the previous day's events,his rage at Roberto's recurring schemes flaring up but outwardly his face shows no emotion.He got to his feet,pausing a few seconds to stretch out his 6'2 frame, his Spanish suit is cut to perfection. Adams gives himself a look over, assured that his appearance is satisfactory before he steps out of the plane.His ride is already waiting by the curb. He gets in,waiting a few minutes for his luggage. The ride back home or what he remembers of is silent.Adams thinks of what to get Grandfather for his birthday
The manor was brightly lit, the golden lights from the chandeliers glimmered in the surroundings like gossamers, the manor doors wide open. A lively sea of men,influential men in suits and women in long flowing dinner gowns, waiters dressed in black and white tuxedos could be seen,moving about serving glasses of champagne to guests. A long red carpet extended from within the foyer to the entrance,painting a picture of extravagance and class. Roberto knelt down, his cold features not able to disguise the unease he felt,his eyes glanced at a particular direction, he took a deep breath,beads of sweat were on his forehead. From the darkness a voice came, " I ask again,have you accomplished what I asked of you?" The voice is elegant, deep and disquieting. Roberto's pupils contracted a bit,"I have managed to sow some seeds of discord in the board but they've deigned to choose sides,I may need more time to work on it." The silence drags, a sound of something tapping the ground echoes
The Vehicle screeched to a halt and the door swung open, almost immediately.Adam got out quickly and rushed to the entrance of the house.His jaw clenched and he furrowed his eyebrows, his eyes narrowed to slits. Each step he took was swift and purposeful."Amelia!," He yelled out, the muscles in his neck and jaw visibly tended."Amelia!!!"He arrived in the sitting room to find a few of the bodyguards he had left on the ground, unconscious and he knelt down to feel one of them's pulse. He was alive and something must've happened. Panic quickly gripped him and he kicked one of them and moved to the kitchen, perhaps the housekeeper would be there to explain what had happened."Amelia!!," he called out again, this time tightening his fists. He had left her with the bodyguards in the living room as she wanted to watch a movie.The veins of his temple pulsated as the tendons in his arms visibly strained against his taut skin. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if anything happened to
The middle-aged man grunted as he stood up from the dark chair, circling Roberto kneeling before him as he scrutinized his face.The room was dimly lit and his face was obscured by the darkness, but he seemed to be dressed in a tailored suit that hinted at wealth.Roberto averted his gaze, swallowing the painful lump in his throat, thoroughly humiliated to have been beaten like this, by Adam."Look at me, "his baritone voice, low and measured, carried an air of authority and sophistication.Roberto glanced up and he held his face."You fool!" he growled as he let go of Roberto's face, almost making him fall.Roberto knew not to show a moment of weakness and quickly regained his composure as he watched the man go back to his seat."You let him do this to you!" he spat out. "I am disappointed in you," he continued as he shoved his golden walking stick forward, hitting Roberto's left cheek, the exact spot which was swollen after being beaten by Adam.He was in pain and wanted to shout out
Seraphina was furious as she glared at the doctor."What do you mean, there's nothing you can do!" she yelled, furiously.She wouldn't allow her mother to lose her leg just like that."I'm sorry madam, but it's way above us. There is nothing we can do," the doctor said calmly, trying to comfort the frantic family.Lori had been brought too late. The injured leg had not received any treatment for more than a week and was already decaying, there was no way she was going to survive that."Doctor, you have to please help us, I can't allow my wife to lose her leg like this. Surely there must be something you can do," Ernest pleaded, his eyes filled with profound sadness as his face contorted with anguish his shoulders slumped.He looked scared about his wife's condition, he must really love her a lot.Lori hung her head as she heard everything the doctor had said. Tears began to drop from her face as she wondered if it was really worth it to punish Adam.Soon, all of them began talking at o
Cleo had stayed back in the car, outside to allow Adam to go inside the house to meet his wife.She was aware of all the hurdles the man went through at the hands of his wife and his in-laws and how she was now unwilling to sign their divorce papers to make their divorce official.She got out of the car and lit a cigarette, puffing it as she thought about how she had come to become a bodyguard to Adam Carson. after she had taken her revenge on her family and helped him find the person that has been sending his threatening notes.She wasn't surprised when Adam told her that his sister whom he had kept hidden was attacked by Roberto.She had always suspected him but there was something however, she knew Roberto and he was a coward, he wouldn't have gone after Adam on his own, he must have someone backing him.Besides, Roberto wasn't the only threat, there seemed to be other threats that she still hadn't found out about them.She was so lost in thought as the cigarette dangling between h
"You're nothing but a bitch!" Adam tore the letter into shreds. "I don't have time for this, Seraphina. Sign this divorce letter now, or you'll have yourself to blame!""I am pregnant for you, Adam. Can't you see that?" Seraphina sighed, her voice on the verge of tears. "Darling, please your child needs you. Please don't do this.""You're only fooling yourself!" Adam pushed her off. "I'll be taking this case to court since that is what you want. I have evidence of all the cruel things you've done to me in the past, this time there will be no holding back, I will drag your name down to the dust!"With that, Adam stormed out of the house placing a call to Craig immediately. "Register a lawsuit against Miss Hemsworth for refusing to sign the divorce letters!""Yes, sir." Craig nodded and ended the call. By the time Adam got to the car, he started feeling uneasy. The doors were left unlocked and both Cleo and Liam we're nowhere to be found. "Liam??" He hurried around the car to see the
Adam punched the guard, sending him sprawling on the floor. Before the others inside could react to what was happening, Craig had rushed in firing them with tranquilizers which sent them to sleep immediately. Roberto was still in a daze when everywhere returned to it's original silence. He glanced at his unconscious men on the floor and back up at Adam. "What're you doing here?""To pick up my woman, what else?" Adam rushed to bang his table angrily. "Before that, I want to know who sent you?" He slowly walked around the chair to place his dagger against Roberto's neck. "What do you mean?" Roberto took in a shape intake of breath. "I've always known you weren't smart enough to pull off this sort of thing, Roberto! Tell me the truth before I slit your neck!""Ever since we were children, I've always hated Cleo's existence. Is that enough reason?"Adam gritted, twirling his chair to come face to face with him. "Enough reason to abduct her and start torturing her? Was it because I let
