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
Adam frowned, inspecting the slight smirk on her face. "And what exactly do you mean by that statement?""Surely you didn't poisoned all of them already, right?"Cleo was one complicated woman who was very hard to predict. When she looked away, Adam had to face her again. "I just asked a question, Cleo. Answer me, how do you plan to deal with Roberto and his men?""Are you worried about that scum's life?" She snapped back at him. "I'll be the one to end Roberto Walters completely. I'm only worried about you, Cleo. You don't want that huge amount of blood-shed on your hands. If you poisoned him and all his men, I'm afraid-""You don't get to dictate what I am supposed to do!" Cleo rolled her eyes, attempting to get down from the bed. "Look, I've been trying to caution you to be more careful." Adam tried to stop her. "You're a human not a machine, stop throwing yourself into these dangerous situations!""So was it my fault I got abducted?" She slapped his hands off, a frown on her fac
Adam left the hospital a few moments later, after making sure to delete the message on Cleo's phone. He intended to just have a confrontation with Gerald, asking why he choose to hunt him and his family. What exactly did Felix do to him? On his way to the parking lot, Adam caught sight of a man he wasn't expecting to see. It was the bald-headed Kent. One of the staffs at the Sales department whole had kicked out, but turned around to destroy all the photos in his office. Adam remained composed as he approached the man who was just alighting a taxi. "Mr Carson?" Kent was shocked to meet him, but he quickly hid it from his expression. "What are you going here?" He asked again when Adam didn't give him a reply, just a fierce expression. "I would like to have a word with you." Adam said so calmly that Kent was confused. "Alright." Kent quickly settled the driver before turning around to face Adam again. "Look, Mr Carson, I have nothing to do with you right now. Ever since y
