The room was filled with applause as Adrian took the stage.“Is that….it’s not possible.” Jane struggled to speak“Adrian??”The whole Sinclair family couldn’t believe their eyes. The son-in law they had forsaken was the heir to the Delaney Empire??“Wait, you know him?” Tyler asked, surprised at their reactions.“Um…yes” Dave struggled to speak.Tyler’s curiosity heightened. "How?"“It’s a long story. I’ll explain later.” Dave replied.Evelyn’s blood went cold. She remembered what she had done to him and his mother.she always thoughthe would never amount to anything, but here he was the CEO of one of the most powerful companies in the country.Brianne went around introducing Adrian to the different families at the event.Finally, they came to where the Sinclairs were gathered.“And these are the…..”“Sinclairs” Adrian completed her sentence, his tone even.“Oh. You’ve met before?” Brianne asked, a surprised look no her face.“Oh yes. We’ve got quite the history” Adrian replied, sta

Ethan arrived at the station and was taken to a holding cell. A frowned formed on Ethan’s face as he protested. “You’re putting me in a cell?” “You should get used to it, you can’t process bail till tomorrow.” The officer replied. Ethan’s eyes widened. “What? You expect me to sleep in this filthy place? I want to make a call immediately!” he demanded furiously. “You can have your call.” The officer said as he led him to the phone. Ethan dialed the buttons furiously as he put in a call to Evelyn. “Evelyn, they are saying I can’t process bail till tomorrow.” “I have sent the lawyer, he’s on his way, but if that’s the law, there’s nothing I can do about it. You’ll have to spend the night there.” Evelyn replied in a casual tone. It almost sounded like Evelyn found the idea that he would sleep in a cell enjoyable. “So you’re just going to leave me here?” “Next time, you should think before you act.” Evelyn replied sharply before hanging up the call. After the call, he was led

Adrian looked at the car through the mirror. “Are you sure?” “Yeah.” Javier replied. Adrian stepped on the gas, the engine roaring as the car surged forward. His gaze darted between the road and the mirror, the car following them closely. He took two turns, but the car followed relentlessly. Adrian’s lip pressed into a thin line. “It seems you are right. That car is definitely following us.” He glanced at Javier, his expression unreadable. Adrian slowed down and came to a stop at a Junction. Lana noticing the car was slowing down instructed the driver to also stop a little distance away from their car. Lana watched with concentration, the car staying still for about a minute. Then she heard the sound of the car door opening and saw Adrian stepping out. He glanced at the car and started walking towards her. Her heart skipped a beat as she realized that Adrian had caugh

They spent the whole day working on the proposal, and by time it was ready, it was already late at night. “We’re finally done.” Adrian gave a soft smile towards Lana. They both went down to the ground floor and Adrian moved towards his car. “Have a goodnight” Adrian said as he inserted his car key into his car “Goodnight sir.” She replied softly. Adrian noticed she was walking home alone. “Would you like a ride?” he offered. “No. Thank you. I prefer to walk. I’ll get on the bus.” She replied politely, declining his offer. Adrian closed his car door. “Well. If you’re not going to take my offer. Then I’ll walk with you to the busstop.” Lana paused for a moment. Not sure how to respond. “Oh. You don’t have to.” “I insist.” Adrian said with a charming smile. The night air was crisp and quiet as they walked side by side, the sound of moving cars filling the silence. Adrian glanced at Lana. She looked like she was in thought, her hands folded tightly. “You know” Adrian start

Adrian had stepped out to make a call, leaving Brianne and Lana alone in the room. “So,” Brianne started, crossing her arms. “Why did you do it?” Lana frowned, pretending to be ignorant. “Do what?” she asked. “You know what I mean,” Brianne said. “Why did you save Adrian? You could have let someone else take care of him and rid us of the problem.” Lana stiffened. “It wasn’t like that. I couldn’t let him die so easily.” Brianne’s eyes narrowed. “Couldn’t let him die? You told me you hated him. What are you playing at?” Adrian stepped out of the hospital room, the door clicking softly behind him. The faint hum of the hospital corridor filled the silence as Lana turned her head to the sound of approaching heels. Brianne strolled in, her expression sharp and questioning, as if she had been waiting for this exact moment. Lana exhaled sharply, her tone cold. “He needs to suffer. Just like my father suffered. Dying quickly would be too merciful for someone like him.” Brianne studies h
