Adrian ordered a taxi, he’d already informed Blinks not to show up for him on that day, he wanted to do this alone without any questions or anyone trying to lighten up his mood. The cab driver glanced at him through the mirror and probably saw his sadness. He decided to play a song. “Don't worry, be happy,” the song started to play and Adrian heaved a sigh just shaking his head bit by bit to the music as he started out of the car's window. The clouds soon began to rumble and drizzles of rain began. Adrian could feel the dampness in his heart with each drop of water that rolled down the glass window. At last they reached the office and the car stopped. “We’ver arrived,” the driver said, jerking Adrian out of his own thoughts. He thanked the man and paide him three times his actual price. The man in shock thanked him very much and he drove away. Adrian picked up his phone standing under the rain as he called Mr Anthony. The latter however opened the door and came out of the building.

The entire atmosphere stopped, and he could feel the entire earth halt. Time, space and all fundamental forces paused. His very thoughts froze and he didn't even know what to say. He couldn't think of what to say and Rose herself was stumped. They stood like that for a few minutes just staring into each other's eyes. They spoke with a thousand emotions, neither of them sure of bow to act. Everything else felt unimportant to them. “What are you doing here?” Adrian asked at last, finding his voice. Rose smiled and then stood up from her sofa, “Just go out, I will call you when I am done. Just shoo,” she said, pushing him outside and slamming her door. Her heart was racing so fast with excitement. “How didn't I guess it,” Adrian said as he turned his back against her door and slid down, sitting down by it. Rose did the same but inside the room. “I didn't either,” she said. “No. I had more chances to, I met your parents. They were Helmonts. I saw your sisters now and they looked like

The children of Mr Anthony sat in the living room after a stern warning from the man not to be a disturbance and the dining continued in complete quietness with the two stealing glances at each other. Soon enough the dining session came to an end and the family started chatting on various topics. “Hmhm,” Rose cleared her throat and then decided it was high time they were alone. “I would like to show Adrian,” she paused and then turned to him. “Right?” The girl smiled as Adrian nodded tersely to her question. “Around the house, you old folks and psychos,” she said the words directly facing her youngest sister. “To your meal.” Adrian stood up almost immediately and she giggled. “You seem eager?” She whispered. “What can I say, I am a people person,” Adrian retorted and the girl chuckled. Soon enough they turned around and walked towards the living room. “Hey kids, come on, let's head out. Leave the boring people to their machinations,” Rose said and the kids didn't even glance at th

Adrian woke up with a splitting headache and a fuzzy memory. He couldn't remember where he was, or what he was doing here. He tried standing up, but for some reason he didn't feel coordinated with his body. He laid on the ground that he was for a while, feeling his head throbbing but the pain was slowly reducing. After a while, he regained full consciousness and he stood up, his head bowed awkwardly as he tried to piece together where he was. He glanced around to see littered debris all over, the entire room seemed to have been visited by the wrath of a god. The gas lamp was broken, the chair at the side was damaged, there was a crack with blood stain on the window. He shook his head and then dusted himself as his memories started to creep back to him. He remembered that he came here to see his ex-girlfriend, Sandra. He bulged his eyes, the moment he remembered her name he realized what’d happened. He stood still, trying to reason what he should do, but he was caught off guard by t

Captain Penelope glanced at Blinks from head to toe. “What are you doing in front of my holding cell?” she asked. “Oh, I am the private detective for Mr Richards and he just contacted me that he has been framed. So I wanted to get some information from him and I took permission from the officer at desk,” Blinks said, showing her a tag that indicated he had been passed to see the prisoner. “Why are you arresting my girl,” Adrian asked with a low tone but it couldn't have been mistaken for a growl. He glanced at her with a dead look in his eyes.“I don't speak to assholes,” Captain Penelope said and then opened the cell room pushing Rose in after uncuffing her. She glanced at detective Blinks before shaking her head and walking away. “You protect a man like that? What makes you different from an animal like him! Just let him know, I don't care who he is, he would suffer the wrath of justice even if the world turned over!” She said and walked off. Rose glanced at Adrian and chuckled b
