He was breathing heavily like a freight train as his gaze fixed on Adrian's stoic face.
“I should hate you for this.”
“You could.”
“But you will make sure the killer faces j

Adrian soon arrived at the bistro.Instinct told him to wait for the guards he sent for, but he didn’t want Juliet to escape again.Adrian could no longer ignore what stared him right in the face.He had thought Juliet incapable of such callousness, but now she was even inviting him to this suspicious spot?Something was amiss.Crypta Eats was small and elegant, with warm lights, wooden tables and exposed brick walls.Soft jazz played in the background, mingling with the smell of coffee and freshly baked bread. “Welcome. How may I help you?” A young man in a monogrammed apron approached him.Adrian’s eyes were already scanning the bistro interior.Crypta Eats looked and smelled like a granny’s cosy corner.But the faces before him belonged to a biker’s club.Buff men with tattoos snaking over their exposed arms and necks stared at Adrian from their tables.A warning bell rang in his head as he met their hard, unfriendly faces.“Sir?” the waiter prompted, waiting for an answer.Juliet

Then the letters started fading.“What? What is…?”Right before everybody’s eyes, the letters were gone, leaving only the charred side of the car.As the men murmured in wonder, Adrian could only think of one thing.The mechanism used was so much like what he had used with Scott.Scott?It can't be.He dismissed the thought almost immediately.He was more than sure that Scott never knew he was behind the writings.Still, he made a call to the prison.He got his answers in minutes.Scott had neither received a visitor nor made any calls in the past month.Which left his main question unanswered.“Who is behind this?”Whoever it was had access to the car at a point, but it doesn't necessarily mean they were currently in the vicinity.Soon, the car remnant was towed away.The officers soon left after another promise, too.The faded letters made them even more suspicious now.Coupled with the other paper that Adrian had been careful not to touch, they were confident they had enough to nab

“She accused us of breaching the agreement, sir. She said her contract with Romeo was for life, so she has the right to handle everything that pertains to him. She told us we brought in a stranger to handle her personal issues and tarnished her career. She's suing us, sir.”“Suing you?” Adrian echoed in utter disbelief. “That's a load of bullshit.”“That's not all, sir. She said Romeo owed her eight hundred thousand dollars. She sent the IOUs to my sister. Eight hundred thousand, sir! My ma has not stopped crying. We couldn't even bring Romeo home yet because she still hasn't accepted his death. And now this. All of us together don't even have eight thousand dollars. What do we do? This could kill my parents. If I am not so useless, I…”“Mister Supmac…”“If I have the money, then…”“Mister Supmac,” Adrian said more firmly to stop the man.The line finally went quiet, Theo's anxious breathing the only thing filtering through.“Let me handle this for you, okay? She has no right. No righ

“Really? You blocked my number? Didn’t take you for a coward, young master.”Juliet.Adrian couldn't believe her audacity.He turned towards the destruction as Edward's earlier warning echoed in his mind. “You really don't know when to stop, do you?” he asked calmly.Juliet snorted. “Stop? If it's you, would you stop? You ruined me! All I did was love you. I admired you and wanted to be close to you. And you? You threw my love in my face and ruined my source of income!”“Your callousness did that to you.” Adrian's gaze hardened on Echelon's wreckage. “And this latest stunt will cost you dearly.”Juliet laughed.“So, you've seen it? Good. I bet you thought I would grow scared of you and run off. How does it feel to be wrong?”“Stop now, or…”“Yes, you need to stop! You are the one who needs to stop, not me. You want me to back off? Fine. Pay me ten million dollars, no, a cent less, and I will leave you and your precious company alone.”Adrian's gaze narrowed.He pressed the record but

Jim regained consciousness three hours later.Two of those hours had been spent on rigorous surgery to save the doorman’s leg.His right leg had been crushed under the Camry’s tyres.He would live, the doctor promised.But his leg would have to stay in a cast and elevated for a while.“There’s a possibility of a limp, too,” the doctor had reported to Adrian.“Just give him the very best care and all he needs to swiftly get back on his feet,” he had ordered over the phone.Adrian had stayed behind to watch the police examine the car.The car was dusted for fingerprints, and the process was sped up while Adrian was on standby.Then came the report.“Sir, we've checked the vehicle. There are no fingerprints on the steering wheel. No one drove it here.”Adrian's eyes narrowed.“Then how did it get here?”The technician hesitated.Then, “According to the indications, sir, it drove itself.”“What nonsense?” Edward had snapped in indignation.Adrian raised a hand as his gaze intensified on th

Some gasped, while others burst into laughter.“Oh, I am so sorry,” the audio engineer said smoothly.He leaned down with his hand outstretched.“Here, let me help…”Pah!“Get away from me!” Henry snapped as he smacked his hand away.He swung to his feet as he jerked his hand at both him and Solana.“The two of you would be the first to go when I get my job back!”Adrian snorted.“Can't wait.”Henry opened his mouth, thought better of
