Everyone in the house did. Yet when Edward went to check on Scott, at first, there had been no sound from within, making the older man worry. The door was locked, but Edward had the spare keys

He was sure it was just the momentary shine of him being named the God of War's son that caused the change. It was a matter of time before Morrell remembered who his real loyalty was to.Solana seemed to have little experience with event decoration too. When she started talking in detail about placements and angles, he was sure she would be of great help to Fallon once the real arrangement began.The audio engineer offered to get volunteers to help ensure sounds ran smoothly that day.“Good,” Adrian said. “I will be in charge of the website where interested participants can sign up. I will manage it too.”

With fame comes a strong need to develop a thick skin.Adrian moved like he heard nothing and saw nothing as he arrived at Echelon.“Oh my. Look at that beast. I wish I had a car like that.” “Oh, it's him! I saw him on TV and the billboards earlier!”Those whispers followed him as soon as he stepped out of the car.All eyes followed him the moment he stepped into the cool lobby.The receptionist’s smile was extra bright as she called out, “Good morning, Mr Cross…erm, Mr Jenkins.”By the time he got to his floor, Adrian could feel a very uncomfortable itch at the nape of his neck. Was he annoyed by the extremely public announcement? Maybe he would have been if it were someone else. But this was Catherine.And the significance of it made the stares and whispers easier to tolerate.The dev team snapped to attention as soon as he stepped into the office. They mostly looked like they were expecting him to step in with military escorts. Morrell seemed like he had no idea what to do wi

He remembered that the general was a low-key person naturally.Until recently, he hardly did anything that drew public attention to him. Since he became the acclaimed God of War, the public became naturally interested in everything he did anyway, but he never deliberately attracted attention until Adrian.“What if the general gave Adrian gifts before or after the event?” he wondered. “What if others did too?”He dropped his fork as a headache started brewing at the base of his skull.He pushed back from the table. To Daniel, he said, “You. We are leaving in five minutes.&rdquo

The humiliation of the night before still hung over them like a shroud.Richard was quieter than usual. Patricia was walking on eggshells around him while blaming her pompous son for the tension.Daniel hated that the bastard could still ruin everything even in his absence.Breakfast that morning was a sombre activity. One would have thought someone had died, Daniel thought scornfully.Trying to remind his father that Adrian wasn't really all that so he could focus more on the son who was seated right across from him, Daniel shifted in his chair.

Adrian closed his eyes as the memories assaulted him. “Only weak boys cry!”Patricia had drummed that notion into his head from the moment he badly scraped his knees at five years old.Still, he couldn't shake the wetness at the back of his eyes as he breathed slowly.The general had not known what he had done for Adrian. Not yet. But he silently vowed to spend the rest of his life repaying this favour.The money and influence meant less to him than the sense of belonging.Wha

But the next minute, his expression brightened.He casually touched the tray of keys as he said, “I have too many of these in my garage to count. I don't know why people think a car gift is exciting for an old man like me, but oh well. These have been sitting there for far too long doing nothing. You will be doing me a favour by taking them off my hands, so don't you dare reject them.”Octavio looked at his master with an expressionless face as he wondered why the general didn't want the young master to know he had personally pored over car magazines and selected each of the cars.The least of them was the five hundred mil Aston Martin, and were just delivered the day before.When Octavio had pointed out that they had more than enough cars that the young mast
