"I appreciate your high thoughts, Miss Bethany, and I respect your determination and desire for justice, but I must decline your offer." Adrian Blood said. "I have more important things to do".Adrian Blood walked away, knowing that he had access to all sorts of information with the powers of his system. What unknown information could she possess that would help him? Afterall, nothing was more important than finishing his mission in this country and returning to Ravendale to find Lyana. Nothing was more significant.As Adrian Blood walked into the store, leaving Bethany Lawrence alone, shocked that he would abandon her just like that, someone peeped on them from afar. Someone ominous, watching every single step with precise attention.Bethany Lawrence turned around in despair, walked out of the place only to be pulled into the shadows by someone she had not seen before. "Let... me... go..." She tried to scream for help, but strong hands absorbed her shout.The man who had attacked he

Annabelle paced continuously in the area, several thoughts brushing through the interior complexes of her heart."Okay! That's it! I'm going after him." She declared, taking one of her jackets hung against the rock. She had had enough of waiting and waiting forever."No, Amnabelle." Sabrina Lotus quickly came to stop her. "He said we should all wait here till he returns. It is not wise to go out there on your own."Annabelle frowned, her ego bruised by the mere presentation of that statement. She was no child to be kept away behind the kind shelter of a wall. She was no weakling to beg for safety when danger roamed outside."Julian is in danger, and so is he. Sitting here and cowering is not gonna work for me. I am going to get them back, and I am going now."Sabrina Lotus shook her head in disagreement, trying to force her perspective upon the determined character before her.."He asked you to stay here for a reason. In his absence, we need someone to look after everyone and protect

"Yes, Dad". Her voice was so real, far from that of a ghost. "It is me, your baby." She said, the same innocent girl which he raised for many years. It was the same Lyana, not dead afterall.Whatever happiness she had anticipated from him, he was not ready to give. "How..." He grumbled, knowing that he had been made to believe a lie for the many weeks that had passed by, thinking he was rid of her.Ricardo had said that she was nowhere to be found after the police capitol went up in flames. He had suspected that the Astana family might have had something to do with her disappearance, seeing how Luther Astana vanished at about the same time Lyana was last seen. But when he was paid that strange visit by Martin Astana and his friends, her name was never mentioned. He knew those three men well. They had no reason to hide such an important card especially when it was their ultimate trick to checkmate. Then the chairman had suspected that they had no clues as well as to where she was. They

Adrian Blood was having a meal at a nearby restaurant. He had just acquired a place to stay and he was just waiting for the keys to the building where he would stay for the few days he was going to be in London. All his life, he had never imagined that he would fly out of Ravendale city, fly out on an airplane. His foster mother had always struggled, paying for his existence with every little strength in her aging bones. To the point that she took a bullet because of him. And in the end, she was not even his real mother.A ding came from his phone. Opening it, he found his sister's face on the screen. She had dropped him a voice message. It was a long time since he last spoke to his sister. The last time he showed up at the secret mansion, he met only his uncle. He has said that Lyana had gone off to be with her boyfriend, Jacob. Adrian Blood still remembered Jacob's true intentions, he just had no way of letting his sister realize how bad of a person the boy was. But all that will ch

The cars wheeled in with different shades of colours. Regally defined and strong in wealth, a banquet such as this was only open to the elites among the elites. Ricardo Rodriguez walked in with enormous pride, ready to take his chances like he had intended."Finally, I am here. I will achieve the greatest thing today. Something that father himself could never achieve. And then that woman would know that I am a man of myself." He boasted to the ears of nobody but himself. The words that Aurumia uttered still pierced the part of his heart where his rage was most concentrated. Before, he had thought that his plans were in shambles after the plane he boarded was hijacked. Even though his life was saved while everybody else was left to die, he was still distressed that he would not get to attend this grand banquet, the main purpose to his visit. But then everything changed when the plane showed up at the airport again and the passengers were confirmed safe. Instead of being the sole surviv
