Adrian and the bodyguard stormed into Malik’s apartment the moment the bodyguard kicked the door open. Malik’s eyes were wide as saucers, and he instinctively stumbled backwards as he saw the two men standing in his doorway. “W-who are you guys?” He sputtered, his gaze alternating frantically between the both of them. “What are you doing in my apartment?” Adrian stepped in further into the living room and peered around for a moment before his gaze settled on Malik. He accessed the average-heighted man in a college hoodie, and a frown appeared between his brows. His face was unfamiliar and he seemed completely innocent and incapable of harming a fly. But if there was one thing he had learnt in life, it was not to judge a book by its cover. There was definitely more to the issue, because something wasn’t adding up. Coming out of his thoughts, his gaze remained fixated on Malik. “I’m Adrian Young, and I need answers from you,” he muttered in a tone that sent chills dow

Adrian reached where Nathan lay in no time and crouched down to his level. Raising him up by his collar so they were face to face, his narrowed eyes locked onto Nathan’s terrified ones. “You crossed the line this time, and I’ll destroy you for it,” Adrian hissed, his voice low and menacing. “For every single bit of pain Anita felt because of you, I’ll return it in a thousand folds.” Without waiting for Nathan to respond, Adrian lifted him up by the collar, making his feet dangle off the floor. “Get your hands off me!” Nathan cried out as he struggled to pry Adrian’s grip away from his collar. “You’re accusing me wrongly! I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Adrian’s eyes flashed with hot fury at Nathan’s blatant lies and denial. His grip on his collar tightened and he lifted him up further off the ground. So much so that Nathan’s eyes widened impossibly at his unusual strength. The shiver that ran down Nathan’s spine then intensified as he increased his struggling.

Adrian swerved into the parking lot of the Lifemate Hospital. He got out without delay, and went around to the passenger’s side where Nathan sat, shrunken back against the seat. Opening the passenger door, he unfastened the seatbelt and pulled Nathan out by his arm. Then without bothering to care how the man was holding up, he dragged him towards the entrance of the hospital Pushing the doors open, the sterile scent of antiseptic and drugs fanned his nostrils, but he ignored it and kept his gaze forward as he headed down the hallway leading to Anita’s ward. Patrons and staffs of the hospital murmured at the unusual scene before them. Some of them gasped at Nathan’s bloodied and disheveled state, while the others covered their noses in disgust as the smell of his urine contaminated the air. Adrian paid them no mind as he kept dragging Nathan through the narrow hallway with pristine white walls. The moment they reached Anita’s ward, he opened the door and pulled Nathan inside

Blaze hesitated for a moment before his voice finally sounded through the receiver. “If that’s what you want, master,” he conceded. “I know there’s definitely an important reason why you made this decision, and I hope whatever it is gets sorted in time.” “Thank you for understanding, Blaze,” Adrian responded with a firm nod. “I’ll talk to you later.” With that he hung up the phone and leaned back against the backrest of the couch, and his mind swirled with thoughts for a moment before exhaustion overtook him and his eyes drooped close. Meanwhile, on another side of Wibston, Lawrence Smith was having a fit of rage as he reeled from the aftermath of his defeat to Adrian. Kai, on the other hand, stood a few meters away from Lawrence, while clutching his side. Despite the pain traveling up his body, he barely registered it due to the anger swirling inside him. His fight with Adrian replayed over and over in his head and he couldn’t still believe Adrian had won. But even mor

The man’s eyes flashed with annoyance, but then he masked it with a challenging smirk. “You can’t tell me what I can or can’t do,” he scoffed as he gave Adrian a disdainful once over. “You’re just a loser.” Adrian shrugged as though the words merely bounced off his shoulders. “Call me whatever you want, but don’t dare bother my girlfriend again.” The man folded his bulky arms across his chest and the smirk on his lips widened aa he openly checked Ashley out, disregarding Adrian’s words. Ashley’s grip around Adrian’s arm tightened and she shifted on her feet as the man’s lustful stare sent bad shivers down her spine. “Pretty lady, I have a proposal for you,” the man spoke up again, after he was done gawking at Ashley shamelessly. He rubbed his lips while licking them as he continued. “Ditch this loser boyfriend of yours, and come to me. I’ll give you whatever you want and turn your life around.” Ashley rolled her eyes at the cockiness in the man’s tone, and her gaze met his
