Adam and Cleo arrived at the Colorado's Main-Gate Hotel and Suites. The biggest 5-star Hotel in the state with largest resources and services. Outside, there were ushers to lead the just arriving guests down to the red carpet. After flashing their IDs, Adam and Cleo were treated very exceptionally well. The welcoming MC stopped all photos being taken and ordered the camera men and reporters to take several videos and photos of them. He also made jokes, asking about how much their outfit cost. "That's a Dolce&Guyon suit, right? A pair begins from nothing less than 25 million!" The MC stared at Adam in awe. He nodded in approval. "And you, Miss. Even though I can't seem to recognise the maker of your dress. It looks so intricately put together that it would cost nothing less than 20 million, right?" "You're absolutely right!" Cleo beamed. "This dinner dress is one of the 3 pieces of the Summer release of Gucci Collections, it cost 23 million dollars!" Adam tried to hide h
"Someone will be bringing my grandfather over very soon. It will come as a shock to that bastard!" Robert hissed angrily ad he got off the phone again. His friends glanced at him, giving him nods of approval. "That's more like it! You couldn't be losing to such a person filled with crap!" Garrett and Sean stared at Max who had been quiet ever since they started working about Adam. "Aren't you going to say anything? You're the one who detests him the most." Max lifted his jaw. "Hmm. He snatched your grandfather's invite, right? Well, lets see how he enjoys what is coming for him!" "Do you have any plans in mind?" "of course. Don't you trust me?" Max pulled closer to whisper against their ears. He pointed at a certain man seated to Adam's right. "We'll use him to carry out this plan." "Now, that's more like it!" Sean gave him a thumbs up. "Him? Have you forgotten who he is?" Roberto frowned a little. This person they were referring to was the son of a General. Shawn Kennedy
"Who are you molest a lady by pulling her so roughly?" the stranger snapped angrily at Adam. "And who the fuck are you to meddle in our matters?" Adam spun instantly to face him, his anger finally having an outlet. "I was only grabbing her wrist, but can you see her hands all over my shoulders? Does this look like a molesting incident?" This person had the air and stature of a military personnel, his darkened gaze probing into their movements. Adam managed to restrain himself from punching this bastard back, but he was fast losing his patience. "Is that true, miss?" The man turned his hard gaze on Daisy. "We're having a conversation right now, please stay away." She hissed. The man glanced at their position once more. "No, I refuse to believe this is a normal conversation. You must be trying to abduct her, and she's too scared to speak up!" That was the last straw for Adam, he spun instantly and sent a bigger punch across this man's belly. "Who the fuck are you? Why are you
"What's going on this time?" Adam placed the phone to his ear immediately. "Boss, we've been able to corner and stop the car that's taking your grandfather away, but Roberto's men are very stubborn and refusing to let him go!" Adam gritted. "Have you involved the hospital security?" "Yes, Boss. They're also here trying to reason with them." "Reason with them?" Adam scoffed aloud. "How can you try to reason with criminals? Listen, if they refuse to let the old man go in 2 mins, involve the police and let them take over!" "Alright, Boss." "I'm on my way already. Senior Walters must have that surgery today, whether this bastard likes it or not!" Adam said and ended the call. If not that an old man is present in the car, he would have asked them to be violent with those goons! Adam had forgotten all the people in front of him, he gathered himself and was about to leave when the guards surrounding him refused to move. "I haven't asked you to leave yet, Mr Carson." Sh
"Stop being deluded and go meet your daughter!" Adam tried to shoo her off. "Look she's trying to seduce an handsome bachelor. Quickly go introduce yourself, he might become a very rich son-in-law!" Lori twirled to glance at her daughter who was unabashedly flirting with a man who was clearly married. Lori ignored the scene and turned to whisper to Adam. "Wanna know a secret? Roberto intends to propose marriage to her at the end of this party!" "Oh, wow. Such good news?" Adam faked a reaction. "You should get some drinks and celebrate, who am I not to be happy for you?" At the sound of that, Lori gestured a waiter with a tray of drinks. She handed Adam a glass of orange juice and took a glass of alcohol. "I have a proposal for you." She mouthed after downing the whole glass. "What?" Adam thought she would leave him alone after he had good her congratulations. "I said I have a proposal for you!" Lori picked another glass of alcohol, downing it with a gulp as well. "It has to
"What are you doing?" Roberto screamed as he was yanked and pressed violently against the wall. "Teaching you a very good lesson!" Adam replied harshly, his voice roughened with anger. "Since you've decided to be the nemesis of the family, I'll have to deal with you properly!" "You creep! Let go of me right now before my men gets here and break your bones!" Roberto tried to struggle against his hold, but Adam increased the strength in his grip. Roberto's face was roughly rubbed against the wall, his arm twisted dangerously behind his back. Even his knees were pressed so hard he thought his bones would break. "You think you can just do whatever you want and get away with it? No, you can't! I'll always be here to set you straight!" He was already getting further annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He was no match for Adam. "I'm really begging you right now, Adam. For the sake of our blood ties, please let me go!" He had to resort to pleading. There was no one close b
"Princess, do you have an idea where your Aunt Cleo went to?" Adam beckoned her over. "Aunt told me she was going to visit her friend." Amelia replied with a small smile. "She promised to get me lots of chocolates on her way back." "Did she tell you her friend's name or leave an address?" Amelia shook her head in denial. Adam frowned. Cleo had no friends in Colorado, at least none that he knew of. "Alright, Princess." He took her by the hands walking up the stairs. "You need to stay in your room for now. Big bro has something important to deal with." "Is that okay?" He turned to face her. "Yes, bro!" Amelia smiled happily. "My tutor gave me a homework to paint the most important person in my life, will you come check it out when I'm done?" "Of course, baby." Adam placed a small kiss on her forehead and led her in. After making sure she was comfortable, with ample amount of paint, snacks and drinks to keep her company, he left. He bumped into Craig at the entrance of Cleo
Roberto turned his hateful glare at Adam. "What the fuck are you doing here? Why are you always following me around?" "Following you?" Adam scoffed, pulling him out of the way to face his grandfather. "Are you okay, grandpa? Did this brat do anything to you?" Isaac was finally breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Adam. "No it's fine. He was merely making a few unreasonable demands." "Unreasonable?" Roberto laughed aloud. "I'll remind you of that time when my demands will end up being the one you have to kneel and beg for!" "Bastard!" Isaac's face morphed into intense anger. He suddenly drew in a sharp breath and all the color drained from his face. "Doctors!" Adam quickly pressed the emergency button and almost immediately, a flurry of medics on white rushed into take over the situation. Adam grabbed Roberto's collar. "I warned you not to trigger him!" "Oh, did I? That's good for him." Roberto chuckled, raising his hands to pat Adam's shoulder fondly. "Stop wasting your tim
