"How dare you? Are you insane?""You do have a death wish!"Ricardo Rodriguez came with a fast right hand. Adrian Blood quickly swerved and landed him a strong jab in the flash of a second.The maids gasped, watching their young master humiliated so easily. Nobody knew that Adrian Blood was this strong physically. And Ricardo did not understand how he landed on the floor.This fool was never this strong, he thought. How could he turn me over like this? He wished to go again and get back at Adrian Blood, but that would be a stupid decision."How dare you stand in my house and say such vile things?" The chairman finally spoke in raw rage, seeing that his son was not even strong enough to come to his defense. "You accuse me of the death of my own wife?"That was absurd. That was weird. That was insulting. Nobody had ever said that before. Even after many years after Lyana's mother's death. Nobody had ever dared to breathe a word as this. Was it because it was total bullshit or they was j

Adrian Blood drove like a formula one athlete and almost crashed into the Police Capitol. As soon as he stepped out into the vicinity, he could perceive the pungent smell of crime. Burning. It was burning. The police capitol was burning."Fuck!"Lyana was inside that place. She was going to die. There was nobody in sight. Not the officers. Not the firemen. It was just the flames, burning into the air and leaving behind that deep scent of the crime world.Adrian Blood knew it was up to him to save the night, to save the true heir of the Rodriguez Holdings. Not before he would be reminded of how stupid this was one more time by his ever present system."This is still a bad idea, Adrian. You can turn back now and avoid making a stupid mistake." Virus tried to convince a made up mind one more time. But there was no turning back. There was no retreating. If anything, Adrian Blood was already in the midst of thick smokes by the time he responded to Virus. And the response was a command."Sy

"What about the chairman's daughter?"Eventually, it was Associate Murray who asked the question. The chairman only paid attention after it had been asked. He did not look too bothered at what the answer might be. He only listened for the sake of information."Is my daughter dead?" He spoke in coldness and chills, ice stone and stone cold. He didn't even bother about what might have happened. Perhaps he wanted a positive answer. Perhaps he wanted to confirm her death."I do not know." James Halton said. There were no signs of her in the rubbles. We checked and identified the few people we could. She was not one of them."What about the surveillance cameras?" The chairman asked further. He wasn't angry. He wasn't upset. He just seemed determined to get an answer."There was nothing about her." James Halton said. "Except one thing. Adrian Blood ran into the capitol during the fire. He must have gone there for Lyana. But when he came out, he was saving the policeman's life.""Micheal Adr

The last time Lyana saw this monster, her brain was still submerged under the influence of whatever it was she had been drugged. Seeing him now, resentment surged in her heart, and hate took the place of his memory. Each word he spoke was nothing but disgust in her ears."Come on, my love. There is nowhere to run to now." Luther Astana laughed. His followers slowly diverged, ensuring that Lyana had nowhere to run. They had made a plan to encircle her. What was this? She had just escaped from that dreadful place. Was she going to somewhere else now?"What are you doing?" Lyana asked. "You are still a prisoner, remember?"Luther only sneered. "And so are you, my love. Does that not make us lovers behind bars. Perhaps we were truly meant to be. Anyway, the prison exists no longer. My freedom has been worked out by my father because he still considers me his son. I know it is something that is beyond your reach these days. You see, my family and yours, we are levels apart. My family would

"I know you do not trust me right now, Lyana. But you really can not make the mistake of staying here in this city when there are so many people after you. You need to get away..." The old man said in the terms of a plea, yet Lyana had a feeling that she did not have much choice anyway."What do you know about me?" She asked rather in rhetorics. There was nobody in the world who knew enough about her to tell whether she was making the right decision or not. Perhaps Adrian Blood, then nobody else. Besides, this man claimed to be her mother's friend. What sort of a friend stays hidden for so many years and then turns up at a whim of their own desire like this? That was no true friend. That was only a companion."Please, child. It is not my place to tell you what to do, but allow me to atone for my sins." It was as if he listened to her thoughts, as if he eavesdropped on the conversations of her mind.He placed his hands on her shoulders. As much as she was triggered to shove his old fin
