CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO Ten seconds were passed, yet it was still obvious that whoever was in front of the door had refused to leave, standing still as his life depended on it. After a few seconds, he grabbed the doorknob again and twisted, yet nothing had changed. “I have to get wine or I will be in trouble!” The voice whispered nervously, and then the stranger took a deep breath. “Maybe Mr. Roy locked it. I should get him at once.” The man said with just a little ounce of hope left in his tone, and then he walked away.Everyone inside the wine store remained silent until they could no longer hear the sound of the receding footsteps.Vin and Davina were the first to sigh in relief, and then Aria followed suit, turning to Adrian who calmly moved away from the door, turning his eyes to Davina who in turn looked away, focused on Aria. “That must be one of the guys helping with the party. We have to leave before he gets Mr. Roy!” Her voice was slippery, laced with so much apprehension. V

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR In less than a minute, they were already standing in front of the entrance, but the two guards there had their eyes on Adrian, prepared to kick him out, especially since his hands were empty.They were as huge as Hill, glaring as they looked over the short butler. “He is with me, boys.” Roy broke the silence, looking up at the guards who looked down at him.“He is without anything, Mr. Roy.” One of the guards pointed out, turning to Adrian with a scowl. “Not even a glass…” He added, his eyes sparking with disdain. Roy cleared his throat, and then he inched closer to the guard, unbothered about his hugeness. “Are you questioning my authority?” He asked with a wry smile, staring at the guard who quickly looked away.“We are sorry, Mr. Roy.” The other guard apologized, and then they left the way, spreading to the corners like curtains. “Come with me,” Roy said to Adrian who left with him immediately, ignoring the glaring of the guards, especially the one who had

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX Adrian took a deep breath, turning to the lady who slowly shifted her gaze to him. The lady was silent, and it was hard to tell what was going on inside her mind. Adrian started to walk up to her, but before he could get close enough, she pushed herself up with all her might, still looking Adrian in the eyes. “Allow me.” She whispered, and without waiting for Adrian to move out of the way, she began to walk up to Oliver, her chains rattling as she staggered toward him.The old man sniggered, spreading his arms widely.“Come to me, beautiful!” He couldn’t see beyond the physical appearance of the lady, failing to observe the fact that she had a cold countenance, almost like she had a plan that had been set in motion.Even when Oliver spanked her, she gave no reaction unlike the other lady who winced when the other man touched her hair. Troy observed this, and even though he kept his smile, he had several thoughts going on in his mind, staring at the lady with ful

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT “If the entire Plit decides to come for me, then that will be very fun, don’t you think?” Adrian responded, leaving the old man stunned. Oliver swallowed hard, and then he looked at his other dead friend, shaking his head in annoyance. “Quin’s sons are going to come for you, Adrian! His sons are ruthless killers! You don’t know what you have done!” “Let them come,” Adrian said calmly, and then he nodded to affirm his words. He took two steps forward, forcing Oliver to stagger backward again, pushing his gun and shaking it. “Don’t think that this gun is loaded! I am not too old to shoot!” Adrian scoffed, and then he cleared his throat. “What about you? When I kill you, who will come to avenge your death?” He asked, but there was no response. Oliver’s expression dropped, and it almost seemed like he was about to drop the gun. “I see…” Adrian sniggered, sneering at him. “No one is going to come to make me suffer. That’s very bad of you, Olive

CHAPTER SIXTY“I think we should be on our way out of this place.” Adrian finally broke his silence, looking behind Aria. The young lady was forced to turn around, and that was when she saw the guards who were already marching toward them in annoyance, growling as though their lives depended on it. These were with swords, and Adrian knew what that meant, unable to count them as they were increasing by the minute. “I should kill them!” Aria said, ready to march after the guards who were getting very close to her.Adrian gasped, and then he ran after her, grabbing her and pulling her backward.“Are you insane?!” He scowled, gnashing his teeth.“These guards are going to kill you with just one swing of their swords!”“You don’t know that, Adrian! It was very easy for me to kill them!” Aria said, and then she turned to the men, spreading her arms and taking a stance. “Just watch and see, Adrian. This is going to be very easy.” She sniggered, and then she began to move toward the men,
