Chapter 11: Mockery
Aubrey already accepted what Everleigh had said concerning the fact that it was Zayn that got the contract for them but she didn’t want to let them know she had the same doubt in her mind. She wanted to give it all it takes to stop the family from requesting for her to marry a rich man.“But grandmother, you gave us your word. You are supposed to approve Adonis as my husband,” Aubrey protested.“Like I said Aubrey, I’m not going to give him credit for something that Zayn did. Just get prepared because you will marry Zayn soon,” she finished up and walked away.Anna laughed. “Very funny. I didn’t think you were this crafty. You would actually try to pinch someone's achievement on another? That’s actually too bad.”“I told you mom, that his good-for-nothing husband has nothing to his name,” he laughed again and walked out of the house.Aubrey didn’t want to exchange words with Anna, so she walked out of the house before she would say anything more.Adonis followed her.Aubrey entered the

Chapter 12: A trap!
Three cars were heading inside Laurier's garage. Adonis and Finn pulled themselves under two of the cars so it could drive them in. So, they would enter unnoticed.Several men got down from the car. They teamed up together to do some things before they disappeared.Adonis and Finn released their hold on the car and rolled out from under the car. They had their face mask on, so in case there was a CCTV camera anywhere.The whole place was eerily silent as if they were expecting them. But that wasn't possible. Adonis didn't leave any trace and there was no way they would have discovered it was him.They walked towards the door, just in time for someone to open the door. Adonis caught him quickly before he would be able to turn back and run away.Adonis turned him around quickly and covered his mouth with his palm to prevent him from screaming.He slowly moved his mouth to his ear. “Where is David Laurier?”The man didn’t answer until Adonis withdrew his gun and touched his face with it

Chapter 13: When the General thinks
Adonis heard the gunshot and then Finn fell into his arms. They both went down to the floor because of Finn's weight and the fact that he collapsed. It was the second time he would be watching his beloved shot. His blood boiled with rage but he knew that he had to leave before anything else. He had to make the plan work. That aside, Finn must not die! “Your heirloom is with me, Adonis but you will never be able to touch it. Well,” there was this satisfied grin on his face. “Dead men don't talk or do they?” Adonis's eyes became red as he watched David as if to jump on him and squeeze his neck or snap his head off. The siren of cars from outside actually pulled David to a stop. David looked back at the men. “Keep your weapons!” he ordered and the men complied immediately. He didn't want the police to see that he had more guns than usual. Though, he has been given the chance to own one. The door opened suddenly and several men rushed inside. But the only thing was that they weren't

Chapter 14: The package
“Also, I need you to do something for me. David needs a gift for the death of his son and I’ve thought of a better one.” Nick nodded. “Alright boss.” Adonis closed the door. He hesitated and stared at the car until it was out of sight. He brought out a cigarette and smoked for some minutes while contemplating what to do. Should he go to the bar or straight home? Though, he remembered that he had a party to attend that afternoon. “Where is the ambulance? Why isn't it here yet?” a thick voice demanded, pulling Adonis out of his thoughts. Adonis looked over to his left. There was a lady on the floor, while there were several men running helter-shelter around her. There was someone on the phone, probably talking to the ambulance. Adonis threw the cigarette away and moved closer to the crowds. He looked at the lady on the floor whose eyes were barely opened. It looked like she was finding it difficult to breathe. “What the fuck happened to her?” Adonis demanded. “She started to slum

Chapter 15: A claim
“Where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you for so long,” Aubrey complained as they stepped inside the hall. “I’m sorry. I was so tired that I had to sleep off,” he lied. Aubrey nodded briefly. “Grandmother is around already,” she hinted. “We have to let them know We are really serious about this.” She stressed. Adonis nodded briefly. “I understand,” though, it was surprising that Aubrey wasn’t getting angry at him. He wasn’t really expecting it but he saw her to be that kind of a girl. David walked right into the hall, looking a bit devastated. His gaze searched around him as if he could catch a glimpse of Adonis even though he doesn’t know who he looks like. Adonis was watching him. Everleigh moved closer to David. She said some words to him and then started to walk him toward Adonis and Aubrey. She and David eventually stopped in front of them. “It’s such a pity that Kevin is gone. I was hoping the two families would eventually merge. I was hoping for a close relationsh

Chapter 16: Bearing
“Ma’am!” Becky, the secretary of Omnilert, rushed inside the Everleigh office. Everleigh looked up, a bit irritated at her attitude. “Where is your manners?” Becky comported herself quickly. “I’m sorry about that, ma’am but the Majestic group has arrived already, with 20 million dollars worth of goods,” there was a huge smile on her face as she made the announcement. “They are here?” Everleigh was overjoyed. Initially, she thought it was all a joke but she was happy at that moment that Omnilert would soon be among the richest companies in Jacksonville “But-,” Becky's voice trailed off. “We have a little issue. The representatives are demanding to speak with Miss Aubrey before they would start dispatching.” “Does that even make any sense?” Becky shrugged slightly. “Well, that’s what they demand. They have refused to unload.” Everleigh reasoned it for a moment and thought Zayn merely wanted to show Aubrey that he loved her. So, she decided to call him. It rang severally but Zay

Chapter 17: The plot
Aubrey was in the hospital, beside her mother when her phone rang suddenly. It was Adonis. She regarded the phone for a moment before she eventually picked it up. “Hello, Aubrey.” “Aren’t you supposed to be at work?” Aubrey demanded. “I am at work but I just wanted to tell you that if your grandmother asks you to finalise the deal with Majestic group, don’t do it until she’s ready to do whatever you want.” Aubrey raised skeptical brows. “What do you mean?” “Well, she will call you very soon,” he didn't stop talking when Becky’s call came through. She ignored it, still shocked at what Adonis said. “I will have to talk to you later, Aubrey,” he finished and the line went off. Her mother had been sick for so long and there was nothing they could do to heal her. In fact, she might be sick till death. She was however thinking of earning more money and flying her out of the country, perhaps she would be able to save her. The phone rang again, pulling Aubrey out of her thoughts and she

Chapter 18: Mess with the General
Aubrey knew what section C was about. Even after spending 3 years in Omnilert, she has never gone over to Section C. The place was ruled by the rich kids and whatever they do in the company wouldn’t be questioned. “How dare you!” Aubrey snapped at him. Zyaire laughed. “Don’t you worry? They won’t kill him. He just wouldn’t have the strength to marry you again. And then, you will be back to square one!” Aubrey took a step forward in order to leave immediately to look for Adonis but a voice from within stopped her. “Miss Aubrey Caddel,” the voice repeated. Aubrey couldn’t stop the anger from spreading to the other part of her as Zyaire walked away and Becky moved closer to her. What can she do? Adonis wouldn’t be able to escape it. . Section C was located on the right side of the building. In fact, a separate unit that deals with the security guards in the company. Adonis was in the control room, watching what was happening between Everleigh and Aubrey. He kind of loved the cour

Chapter 19: Insults!
“Let me go at this moment!” Nex yelled and tried to free himself from Adonis. "Why should I?" Adonis smirked at him. The other men were looking at Adonis but none could step forward. They were too shocked and scared of moving closer. Sam wasn't in the room, Adonis observed and wondered where he had gone. He didn’t see Peter either. "Please," Nex winced, unable to handle it any longer. "I'm begging you. Please, let m go. I will give you anything you want,” he cried. “You will be the boss, I promise if that's what you want." Adonis regarded him for a moment before he let him go. "Will you do anything I want?” Nex fell to the floor with a grunt. "I will," he groaned and fanned his hands. Adonis nodded briefly and regarded his vicinity for a moment. "Why did you call me over here?" Nex shook his head briefly. "Nothing. I mean it doesn’t matter now, you can go. No," his eyes went wide with fear when Adonis looked back at him. "You can do anything you want." Adonis sighed. "You can

Chapter 20: Seen by the General
Adonis heard his name clearly, there was no mistake about it. He turned around and walked back to the girl. “Wait, what name did you just mention?”Monday looked at him as if he was some sort of shit. “Were you listening to my conversation?”“No, but the name-““Adonis,” Ben said quickly. “What are you going to do then?”“Probably beg him for some bucks!” Monday laughed.“But I’m Adonis,” Adonis revealed, with a hint of shock.Monday regarded him for a moment, then at Ben and burst into laughter.“Ben, I’m afraid you will have to throw him out because he’s starting to annoy me!” Monday voiced out angrily.“Is anything happening here?” A deep rich baritone voice demanded suddenly.Monday vibrated. “Nothing sir.”The man nodded. “Has no one looked for me?” He looked over to Adonis. “Does he want something?”“Actually, I want to see Mr. Michael. He told me to come over,” he revealed and stretched out the card to him.The man took it and went through it for a moment. “You are Adonis?”Ad
