Later that weekend, after a long week, Adolphus took his friends, Donald, and Glover for a drink in one of his father's bars. It was their way of bonding more and also easing off work stress. That week has been really stressful for them, and they decided to cool off.Since they started working, they've been very busy and haven't really spent more time together. Donald and Glover were his best friends and only the friends that he had. So he'd never take their friendship for granted. It was the reason he gave them good jobs in his company with very great pay.Now, they were enjoying the fruits of their kindness towards Adolphus. When they arrived at the bar, everyone's eyes turned towards them. Adolphus had become quite popular and already well known. But as for Donald and Glover, no one knew them.At that moment, a lot of people were wishing to be in their shoes so as to be close to Adolphus. Many people really wanted to befriend him, but he never gave any a chance. It was obvious

Svetlana listened with her mouth open as Adolphus spoke with authority. He even instructed a policeman to give her a phone to answer his call. Indeed, Adolphus was now very powerful and could easily get people to do his bidding. Maybe she should stay away from him. But then, someone as powerful as Adolphus is exactly what she wants. Svetlana thought about it and deduced in her heart that she'd never stay away. Adolphus was free to get her arrested as many times as possible. He'll eventually get tired.“Adolphus. I haven't done anything wrong to be arrested by the police. I was just asking about you, and they came and took me away.” Svetlana finally replied after staying silent for a minute. She then added.“Well, dear Adolphus. If this is a sacrifice, I must make to earn your love again. Then, I don't mind sleeping in police custody as many times as possible.”“However, be rest assured that I'm not giving up on you. You're mine, and I won't let Abigail win against me. Never.” Svetl

“He's also my son, Doris. And he's very important to me as well. Please, don't make it sound like I don't care about Adolphus.” Nicolas replied back. They are both Adolphus's parents. However, Doris was making it sound like she was the only one who cares about him.He had to let her know that they were in it together. “Of course, he's your son. But I'm just scared for him, not even for myself.” Doris replied to him, and the place fell silent for a moment before she continued. “I don't know what your wife, I mean, ex-wife... I don't know what is on her mind. I just don't want any harm to befall our son.”“No harm will befall Adolphus. I'll get some men to secretly follow him everywhere to keep him safe.” Nicolas commented, and Doris quickly agreed with him. “That's a great idea. I don't want to keep worrying about Adolphus, hoping that the next call I get from him isn't bad news.”“Stop getting yourself walked up. He's my son, and I'll protect him.”After a long pause, Nicolas let o

After Svetlana poured out her heart to Abigail, she stood up and started towards an empty table opposite them.From the table, she could make eye contact with him. And just what she wanted, her eyes didn't leave Adolphus's table. Adolphus, on the other hand, didn't want to look at her but could not help himself. He glanced at the table a few times, glaring at her as she ate her food. She returned his glare with a seductive look, smiling at him.“Just pretend she's not there. Right now, Svetlana should be the least of your problems. You have better things to worry about.” Abigail spoke to him, reaching out to turn his face away from Svetlana. He nodded his head, agreeing with her. Svetlana was nothing compared to the problem he was facing with his ex stepmother and her daughter. Adolphus remembered something and smiled to himself, confusing Abigail, who was wondering the reason for the sudden smile.“What is amusing you, Adolphus?” She inquired, smiling back at him.“It's Richmond.

The father and daughter remained in that position for a moment before Vicki further asked him. “Dad, are you sure you don't love him more than me? I just feel like you don't love me anymore. That's why you chose to always spend time with them.”“And now, you seemed to be in their defense all the time.”“I love both of you equally, so don't think too much about it. And as for what you did, promise me you won't do it again.” Nicolas commented, looking directly into her face.She was reluctant for a moment, thinking about her mother and how she'd react to her decision. Ursula would think that Vicki was now siding with Adolphus and his mother because of her dad.Everything was getting serious and complicated. “Please, give me your word. Remember, you're doing it for your family, for the businesses which you're going to run alongside your brother soon.” Nicolas pleaded with her, and she nodded her head.“Ok. I won't do anything again, but I don't know about my mom. She might do somethin
