Chapter 66: Tears X Pleas.
“Is that how to greet your visitors?” Adrian said, feigning a frown as he walked towards him. His steps were powerful, echoing with each stamp of his Italian leather sandals. It was like the air in the room had been sucked out of the room with the kind of authority that oozed from him.Ryan was dumbfounded. He tried to speak, but the sound of the opened door stopped him. The security guard rushed in, his eyes filled with fear as he tried to catch his breath. “S…sir, I tried to stop him, but—”“Leave,” Ryan snapped and the man bowed before hurrying out of the room.“How dare you show your face here?” Ryan said harshly as he returned his attention to Adrian.“I thought to visit, you know, see how Layla is faring, especially with the ongoing catastrophe on social media,” Adrian replied with a cocky smile.At the mention of her name, Layla stiffened as she glared at Adrian. Even though she was pissed, she couldn't deny how handsome he looked with the blue designers suit that made him appe

Adrian frowned. He looked first at her before his attention drifted to the paper. “What's this?”“That's diagnosis from three different hospitals. Take a look,” Layla slurred disinterestingly.Curious, Adrian picked up the paper, allowing his eyes travel through the content. A sharp feeling of dread ran down his spine and he gasped before sharply looking up at her. “How am I sure this isn't fabricated?”“You must be insane if you think I'll joke about something as sensitive as my life,”Adrian looked at her suspiciously, but her eyes remained determined. She didn't look like she was lying. If anything, she looked sad. It pricked at him so much that all he wanted to do at that moment was reach out and hug her.No matter how much he hated Layla now, she was his first love and he couldn't just sit and watch something this drastic happen to her. “I don't need your pity, Adrian,” Layla said tightly, hating the look in his eyes.“Then why are you here?”“Because I want this war or whateve
Chapter 64: I Have Cancer.
Layla gasped as she opened her eyes to find herself in a hospital. Pain pounded heavily in her skull and she groaned, repeatedly blinking to adjust her orbs to the bright light. She tried to sit up, but another sharp pain slithered through her back and she fell back into the bed with a groan. “Why am I here?” She whispered to no one in particular. The door opened just then, and Ryan rushed in followed closely by a middle aged doctor. “Hey babe,” Ryan whispered softly into her ears, stroking her hair. “How are you feeling?” Layla managed a nod. From his red eyes, she could tell that he was crying. She frowned in concern. “Were you crying? What did the doctor say? Did my blood pressure spike or something? Or was it the cigarettes? Which?” Ryan was silent, refusing to respond. He could only hold her hands firmer. “Babe, is something going on?” Layla insisted when she felt the dark shift in the atmosphere. It was like everyone was hiding a secret that only she didn't know abo
Chapter 63: Tragedy Knocks Once More?
“When did you start smoking stuff like a loser?” Ryan frowned as he looked at Layla. His eyes shifted to the numerous cigarette stumps on the table and he scoffed. “I thought you quitted the habit a long time ago?”Layla sent him a hard glare before rolling her eyes and pretending like he had not just spoken.“I'm talking to you, Layla!” He snapped, annoying creeping into his voice.Layla scoffed. “You're talking to me? What business is it of yours what I do and what I do not do? You'd rather caution me than do your duty as a man?”Ryan sighed. “If you're talking about Adrian, then—”“I'm damn talking about him, goddamnit!” Layla hissed, throwing the last butt of cigarette on the floor. “You've lost your company, everything you've worked for! Now what? You're proud of yourself and the fact that you went to prison?”Ryan bit his tongue as the sarcasm slapped hard at him. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out, so he hissed, collapsing back into the chair.“I put my reputat
Chapter 62: Rumours.
After the board meeting, Adrian proceeded to go to the bank. He needed to make a huge transaction, but was not able to because they needed his personal presence for proper verification.He sighed as he steered his engine. These bank agents definitely knew how to make life tougher for people. That transaction was very crucial and he was supposed to send it to a client some hours ago.Ten minutes later, he arrived at the bank, stepped down from the car and walked to the manager's office.“Hello, Mr Adrian, welcome. How may I help you?” The manager said upon noticing him. “Please sit,”“I'm not able to make a large transaction on my bank app as the feedback keeps showing suspicious alert. That's strange and disturbing,” Adrian responded, straight to the point. "I was supposed to send out that money two hours ago,"The manager nodded as his eyes ran through his device screen for a while. Then he looked at Adrian. “I'm sorry about that, however, we'd need you to present some items for veri
Chapter 61: Dear Ryan, You've Been Dismissed!
“What do you mean by the investors backed out?! We were supposed to seal those deals and begin the automobile project immediately!" Ryan stomped a hand on the table as he shouted, staring at the grim faces in front of him.The boardroom went silent as everyone stared at Ryan's angrily twisted face.“I'm not talking to dumb people, am I? What happened to the fucking investors that was supposed to partner with us? The deal was worth millions! Are y'all not doing your work as you should?”A middle aged woman cleared her throat. “Mr Ryan, I think you should calm down. The investors backed out of their own will and not due to anybody's fault,”“That's bullshit!” Ryan scoffed, pointing a finger at her. “Y'all do realize that those people are crucial to the growth of this company, right? We were just about to finalize everything, so give me a logical explanation to why they backed out when everything was going just fine!”“They got a better and mouthwatering profit offer from another firm,”
