2023-10-25 15:11:55Adam couldn't help but wonder what was going on, and left him confused and worried, realising he wasn't going to get any other information from the landlord, he headed back out to meet the taxi driver.
He met the taxi guy, tapping his steering wheels in anticipation of his return. Without hesitation, Adam opened the back door and slid in, realising he needed to make another call, he silently asked the driver for his phone once again, "Hey Mister, please I'd like to use your phone again" The driver stared on confusingly, and he could feel him getting agitated on hearing the request, the driver turned to look back at him, his eyes filled with irritation.
"Are you trying to play me or something Sir!? If you don't have any money to pay me better let me know! Scrap that! Pay me my money! I've driven you around town, you've wasted my day for nothing. I could have more trips with the time I've taken you round and now you want my phone!?" the driver angrily retorted.
Adam tried to hide his shame and was thankful they were both still in the car, he wouldn't want the driver to create a scene and cause his landlord and neighbours to come out, thereby embarrassing him further and making jest of him.
In all honesty, he didn't have any money on him, or to his name yet as his account had been barred when he became imprisoned, all that was going to change soon but the driver didn't have to know that. Adam silently exhaled and squeezed his eyes shut, as he figured a way to reply to him without getting a rise off the driver.
"I'm sorry to waste your time like this, I didn't expect things to turn out this way. One thing I can assure you is that you'll be heavily compensated. I'll see to that" he reasoned with the driver pleadingly.
The driver scoffed as he muttered underneath his breath a few strings of words that Adam was unable to catch. Reluctantly, he stretched his phone back to Adam
"You had better have my money, including the phone charges you've used"
"Sure, you'll get it." Adam nodded his head as he assured him, taking the phone from his outstretched hand. He dialled Raul's number once more, On the second ring, Raul picked it up
"Young Master?"
"Yes Raul, it's me again. I need you to help me find the exact address of Louisa Martin, I believe she's somewhere in Hillsbury City, when you've done that please make sure to send the address to this phone"
"Louisa Mart… isn't that your… "
"That will be all Raul, thank you" Without awaiting his response or waiting for Raul to reply, Adam cut off the phone.
In less than two minutes, the phone and the chimed with an incoming message, he glanced at it and realised that Raul had sent in his request.
Raul had even added extra details like Louisa's current phone number and social security number, but Adam refrained from calling her until he saw her in person.
Done with the phone, Adam cleared his throat to get the attention of the driver and handed the phone back to him
"Thank you, Sir. Please take me to Hillsbury City in County, that should be our last spot for the day." Adam nodded at the driver as he gave him the address, in return the driver grumbled out saying
"It had better be"
The driver turned left shortly after and exited the driveway.
After about an hour of driving, the driver pulled up to an obvious highbrow community, highrise buildings and penthouses flanking the streets on both sides. The estate was designed in a way that the houses were similar to themselves.
Adam found himself wondering if the driver had missed a turn, they were obviously in the wrong area, this place couldn't possibly lead to where Louisa was.
If she truly lived here, he wondered how Louisa could possibly afford such an area, her family weren't financially okay to afford such a luxurious area.
"Are you sure we're at the right address?" Adam uttered the words before he realised he had voiced his thoughts.
Sneering at him through the rearview mirror, the driver nodded his head
"I've been driving these routes for over ten years, and yes this is Hillsbury. What's the exact address?" Adam called out the address Raul had sent to him and a few minutes later, the driver pulled up on a street with a beautiful lawn and a massive mansion. Adam found himself admiring the exterior of the house, wondering who they knew that could afford such luxury.
Of their own accord, his legs lifted out of the vehicle and headed to the gate of the mansion. As Adam pulled up to the front of the building, the security guard suddenly appeared in his front, sneering disgustingly at him
"I'm sorry Sir, but this building doesn't accept such low-life crass like the likes of you, I'm certain you must have missed your way. I suggest you head back out to where you're coming from and find the right address, because it's certainly not this one" the security uttered as he eyed Adam from top to bottom.
Adam felt quite displeased at the security's utterance but couldn't say anything as he knew the fellow was just doing his job.
"I'm sorry to intrude or come in unannounced but I'm looking for my wife, Louisa Martins. I believe I have the right address. This is the address of the place I received"
While Adam spoke, he didn't fail to notice the look of disbelief and mockery that was evident on the security man's face. The laughter of the latter suddenly filled the air, as he laughed scornfully while pointing at Adam and at the same time holding his belly as he was bent over in laughter.
In an instant, he was back upright as he glared at Adam
"I'm certain that the Louisa that you seek isn't here nor lives here. The only Louisa who lives here happens to be the lady of this mansion and is married to my boss, a very powerful man, and she wouldn't be associated with and by the likes of you. So I'm certain you have the wrong place. Therefore, listen, buddy, I do not know how you got this address or how you got in here, but I highly suggest and advise that you retrace your steps at once and leave, you clearly don't belong here. You are clearly delusional"
As the security man spoke, he kept raising his voice, both he and Adam unaware of the entrance to the main mansion being opened and somebody coming out.
"What's all this ruckus about?? What's with all the noise? You're disturbing my naptime!" she angrily admonished as she made her way over to them.
On getting to the gate, she lifted her head up and was met with Adam's gaze
"You!?"

Chapter 1. (A glimpse into The Unrefined Jason Lee)
September 29th 2009, “W-here's where's m-my Angel?” As Jason opened his eyes, he looked around, dazed. The eyes felt too heavy to be opened, but he refused to close them. As his eyes rested on the strange man, he blinked rapidly, "W-who are y-you?” he questioned while staring intently at the man, "For now, that's not important. You'll get to know me in time, but right now, we need to leave this shack! Your life is in danger!” The strange man muttered, his eyes darting between the shack and the door. Hearing the urgency in the man's voice, chills crept down Jason's frail body, and he gulped, returning his gaze to the man, he blinked once more, "W-what do you m-mean? I'm safe here, nobody will ever think to f-find me in a shack” The strange man scoffed, and shook his head, “Boy, if only you knew”, was his curt response, and as Jason watched him, he struggled to sit up against the bare and flat mattress that lay on the floor. The more Jason stared around his surroundings

CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED & ONE
Adam was back in the basement, and he walked straight to the den of the old man, with Raul trailing behind him. He walked into the den and met the Old Man and Sage Robinson already sitting and waiting for him. They had heard the news and were waiting to congratulate him. “The man of the moment,” Dreymond called out from the corner where he was seated and Adam turned to see him and Amber seated together. Adam had not seen Amber since the other day at the coast brother’s basement and he was glad that she was recuperating. Old man Thompson stood up and walked towards Adam as they both approached each other. The old man saw the passion in his eyes and stopped. He tapped him on the shoulder and nodded his head, and everyone in the room had to do the same. That was the brotherhood way of celebration, “Weldon Adam,” The old man said and patted him on both sides of his shoulder. He was in prison with Adam, and he knew how he had fought for this moment, and he was very proud to be part of
CHAPTER FOUR HUNDRED
After Adam had dropped her off, Leila walked into their home with sweaty palms, occasionally biting at her lips,She tried to keep her cool and not let her nerves get the best of her. She had already told Joan that she would be back just in time for their dad's arrival, and now, she had probably missed that. She walked into the living room gently, trying to be as silent as possible, hoping not to bump into either Joan or her father she tried to sneak in but she faltered in her steps with popping eyes to discover both of them in the sitting room discussing,“Leila.” Her dad called out gently as she walked in, with her gaze lowered and her fingers crossed at her back,“Come here, princess.” Her father said, spreading out his arms to receive her in for a hug. “I am sorry I was not here to welcome you, papa.” She whispered tearfully as she hugged her father tightly,“I know I have disappointed you; please forgive me, papa.” She said as she continued to let it rain with her tears.“I am
CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY-NINE
Seeing the expression on Mira's face, her mother quickly ran towards her and immediately grabbed the phone out of her hand, glancing at Adam before glancing at the phone, and as she did, her hands began shaking and her eyes popped out, also gasping like her daughter, “W-what. Un-unbelievable, Im-po-ssible” she kept stuttering and looking dazedly at Adam, Mira gaped at her empty hand, and back at Adam, her mouth agape. She swallowed and looked at him, “Fifty million euros, Adam?" As soon as she revealed the amount, everyone around gasped and turned their gaze at Adam, whose cheeks were turning slightly red; he nodded subtly at Mira while Leila stood staring at him unabashedly, grinning from ear to ear. Still smiling a little, Adam informed a still-stunned Mira, “One of my men will reach out to you, I'd like for you to head one of my companies. You were instrumental in my daughter's well-being as well as meeting a great woman" he cast a glance at Leila and she blushed. Madam Ruth
CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED & NINETY-EIGHT
Once again Madam Ruth burst into a loud laughter, clutching her stomach as she did. Every other person watched as she laughed, Mira on the other hand gaped at Adam, unable to string any words together,A part of her was certain the reveal was true as there was something about Adam that was quite different and he didn't seem like a pauper the way her mother had made him out to be.Leila's eyes darted at Adam, and she tried holding their gaze to confirm it, but Adam wasn't looking at her; his face was almost blank, sans the little smirk she caught on his face. She found herself wondering if whatever he had to reveal was in line with what had just been revealed.Madam Ruth once again cut short her laughter and spluttered, glancing at the manager as she spoke in a disbelieving voice,“Are you blind or what? Or perhaps you hit your head on the way here," she deduced mockingly, and the man sneered at her, refraining from deeming her with a reply.The man, alongside others, ignored her, as A
