Adrian scoffed, placing a hand on the counter while staring at Sophie like she was some piece of bug that just shat on his face. “Look here, don't you think you're a little too old for this kind of immature behavior? Security? No, I think you should call the manager, let him explain why he employed an irresponsible staff,”

Sophie's face reddened with mad rage. She opened her mouth, stuttered, then snapped it shut again before stomping a hand on the counter. “W…hat did you just call me?”

“I didn't mince words. If you were responsible, you wouldn't be picking a fight with a customer who was minding their business,”

“I don't blame you. Give me some time and I'll make sure Layla locks your pathetic ass in prison once again. You won't get to see daylight ever again,”

“It'll take the whole of Layla's minions put together to pull out a strand of my hair, talk more of inventing another stunt to land me in prison,” He chuckled, flipping his hair back. “Oh, you didn't know? At the mention of my

    "You jerk, how could you leave me alone in this scary place?! Do you know how worried I was?!” Paige said as she rushed to embrace Adrian tightly. She pinched him on the nose as tears dripped down her face “You promised never to leave me!""I didn't leave you, Paige,” Adrian comforted as he wiped the tears from her eyes. “Something came up that needed my urgent attention. I'm so sorry you had to endure an ugly place like this,”“You saw the news. You saw that they b…lamed me for his d…death…” Paige sobbed into his arms.Adrian patted her hair as he waited for her to calm down. She was scared and he could tell from the way her body vibrated against his own. Anger simmered inside of him as his fingers curled into a fist. He would make sure Ryan paid for putting his sister in this state.All of the horror his sister had to experience in this damp, ugly place, he would make sure that bastard paid for it.“Hey, hush, I'm here now. Nothing is going to happen. I'll protect you, even with my

    “There's no use in keeping quiet, Ms Paige. When the trial is conducted, you'll be found guilty and sent to prison. Let's talk about how we can reduce your sentence,” The petite lawyer said, staring at Paige in an almost frustrated manner.Paige said nothing. No matter how she tried, she couldn't find the words. She was still trying to wrap her head over the events of the last 18 hours, but it wasn't making sense.Her arrest didn't make sense.Her brother's disappearance didn't make sense.Felix's death was the worst pill to swallow. It was difficult to believe that someone she had just spoken to had died while she was being branded as his killer. She tried to swallow, but her throat made a choked sound instead as tears burned in her eyes.“Ms Paige, the evidence….”“Get out,” Paige cut the lawyer short. She wouldn't sit here and be manipulated into wearing the identity of a murderer. This lawyer was making everything worse as well with her ugly make-up and fake smile that made her s

    “Bring me a chair,” Ryan snapped at one of his boys, and when a nearby stool was brought to him, he sat down in front of Adrian, crossing his legs. “You don't look happy. Why is that?”“You'll pay for this,” Adrian snarled."You keep saying that when I'm not the one helplessly tied to a chair," His lips curled into a mischievous smile. “From what we can both see, I'm the one who calls the shot here,"“Untie me and let's see where that ugly mouth of yours get you!"“Trust me I'll do that after our conversation,” Ryan said. “Do you want to save your sister or do you want to join Felix where he is? I have a condition to either of the options,"“Felix did nothing to you. My sister did nothing,” Adrian spat, feeling his chest pump in anger.“And that's why I'm offering you a solution to all of the troubles you're facing right now,” He shrugged. “I should repay evil for evil, but seeing that would get us both nowhere, I rather do this,”“Oh please, fuck off,” Adrian snapped.“So here's the

    “Sir, you need to see this…” Adrian's driver said, handing over the iPad to Adrian with a slightly shaky voice. With a frown, Adrian got the device and peered into the screen, but then his eyes widened in shock as he watched the content. “What the fuck…” He muttered, his heart skipping several beats. “A murder scene has just occurred in a popular guesthouse in town. Felix, billionaire mogul’s assistant was murdered and Paige, sister to Adrian Lancaster was arrested at the scene. Reasons as to why the suspect took the deceased's life is unknown…” “Fuck…!” Lucian was no longer listening as he tossed the device aside and dashed into his car, speeding off without waiting for the driver. His blood kept crashing in his ears as he struggled hard to maintain his irrational breathing. Felix was dead, and his sister killed him?? What sort of foolish joke was that? How the fuck did a murder scene happen under thirty minutes of his being away? Quickly, he grabbed his phone to see many

    The man shivered as he knelt in the living room, his hands raised up in his air in a pleading manner.“I gave you only one job and you failed miserably at it!”Ryan picked up a flower vase and smashed it few inches away from the man who shrieked in fear. His teeth clattered as he muttered an apology, even though he knew there was almost nothing he could do to pacify his boss’s anger.“How could you let him slip past your fingers? Is that how nonchalant you are at your job?!”“No boss, he left the airport before we could arrive. I would have finished him off,” The man said, hoping his explanation would be enough.“I see,” Ryan said calmly. “I see how well you blame your incompetence on trivial things. Maybe I should hire another person to do the job that you couldn't deliver?” He gritted his jaws. “Or maybe I should just get rid of you?”“Give me one more chance, sir!” The man begged, prostrating on the floor. “Give me another chance to do my job! Please…sir!”“And how do you intend on

    “Find him!” The leader of the guards yelled as he kicked down the hostel door and stormed inside. The men growled and scattered to different sections of the room, their eyes searching for something —someone.“He's not in here, boss!” One of the them said as they regathered.“Where's the guest that was here?” The leader spat at the hostel cleaner who was folding a white towel.“He checked out this morning,” The woman replied, her voice low.“That rat…” The man hissed and turned to the men. “Hurry to the airport. Find him quickly!”“Yes sir!”He brought out his phone and placed a call to Ryan. It connected on the third ring. “Sir, we didn't find Domenico,"“If you don't send me a picture of his dead body by the time the sun is down, I'll have your head,” Ryan snarled and ended the call.“Yes sir,” The man mumbled. He shoved the phone inside his pocket and hurried out of the room.*******Inside a slightly dark room, Domenico tightened his grip on the phone in his hand as he spoke. “You
