Against All Odds THIS IS MY ONLY CHANCE
The mayor's wife stared at him for a few seconds and finally stepped out of the way. "Good," he replied. Afterward, he walked toward the door of Mrs. Harold's house and kicked it open. He went inside, accompanied by his betas, while his wife waited outside with the police officers. They searched the house thoroughly but couldn't find any trace of Adele or Mrs. Harold. The mayor cursed under his breath and finally came out of the house.When he came out, his wife stood by the door and stared at him. After looking at him for a few seconds, she shook her head, turned, and began to walk away."Hold on," he said, but she ignored him and continued walking away. "Bridgette," he called out to her, but she refused to turn. She kept walking until she got into one of the police cars and asked them to drive her back home because she wanted to rest. Meanwhile, Mrs. Harold and Adele continued driving in her car."Where are we going to?" Adele asked after they had been driving for a while and t
Against All Odds LOOK AT ME
Aryan got up from the ground. He had been there for a while, feeling very sad. But now he told himself, "I should go look for Adele. No matter what, I shouldn't give up until I find her." Just when he was about to leave, he heard footsteps approaching. He quickly moved to the side and waited to see the people who were coming. When they came into his view, he saw Adele. He rushed out and stood in front of her, staring at her in surprise. She was standing beside Mrs. Harold, and also staring at him in surprise."Adele!" he exclaimed happily. The expression on Adele's face changed as her lips curved into a smile. They ran to each other, and she threw herself into his arms.Aryan pulled away from her and looked into her eyes. He cupped her cheeks and crashed his lips on hers. Afterward, he looked at Mrs. Harold and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Harold. Thank you so much."Adele smiled, "I'm so happy, Aryan. I was so worried. I didn't know when I was going to see you again. How did you get out
Against All Odds I LOVE YOU
Seeing the expression on his wife's face, the mayor asked, "What happened?" She looked back at Selene and smiled before telling her husband, "Come with me. I need to tell you something." As they both walked away, Selene fell on the ground and began to cry, "Please save me, Dad. Please save me."After they left the living room, the sheriff was about to tell her husband what she had noticed when he said, "Something just occurred to me now. Earlier, you explained what happened and according to what you said Aryan told you, the culprit I am looking for is Selene and her father is her accomplice. But when I went to get Adele, her father pleaded on her behalf. He even tried to attack me.""What?" The sheriff was surprised."Yes," the Mayor continued, "going by what you told me, Adele's father should hate her, isn't it? Why would he try to attack me for her sake?"Mrs. Harold led Aryan and Adele towards the mountain. For a moment, they both thought they would be staying on the mountain. How
Against All Odds WELCOME BACK HOME
Aryans' mom thought about what her husband said and replied, "Well, that's interesting. Especially since I've also just discovered something.""What is it?" The mayor asked."The person in that cage, I don't think it is Adele.""What do you mean?""Her eyes," she replied, "those are not Adele's eyes.""Really? Are you sure you're not mistaken?""Well, I could be wrong, but then I've seen Adele's eyes. I told you once that I could see the innocence in her eyes.""And what do you see in the eyes of the girl in the cage?" The mayor asked."All I can see are fear, guilt, and regret. She doesn't seem innocent to me.""This is quite mindboggling. So you're saying this might not be Adele?""No, she might not be the one.""So, if it's not Adele, who is it?" He asked."I have my suspicions but I think only Aryan will be able to confirm them." The sheriff said. "On second thoughts though,we can send for Selene. If she comes in front of me, then I will know that she's not the one in the cage."
Against All Odds SET AN EXAMPLE
Selene's father waited outside the door. At first, he could not understand what was taking Aryan so long. In his opinion, all that Aryan had to do was go in, make a scene, prove that Adele was innocent, and his daughter would be released and sent back to him. But then, nothing happened. He tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, but he couldn't really hear much. It was as though he had been blocked. He held the handle of the door and pushed it a little open when he realized it was not locked. He was finally able to hear the conversation they were having.From where he stood, he could see only the sheriff's face, but she seemed relaxed. It didn't seem like Aryan wanted to fight or take Selene away from there. "Please, Aryan, save my daughter." He begged inwardly.Back in the house where Adele was, she was extremely worried. She kept moving up and down the house, as her heart kept racing. "What do you think you're doing?" Mrs. Harold asked. "I cannot help it," Adele replied. "I a
Against All Odds ALL MY FAULT
As they all heard Selene's father's voice, Aryan, his father, and his mother turned to see that Selene's father had entered their house without their consent. He was on his knees and when his eyes met Aryans', Aryan smiled. He knew that Selene's father had overheard their conversation, which was exactly what he wanted. The moment Selene's father went on his knees and said, "I have a problem with her being given a public execution," Aryan pointed his finger at him and said he needs the same punishment because they all worked together. "Really?" the mayor asked. "Yes, Dad, do you think she did everything on her own? Selene worked with him, so they are both accomplices. I can remember several times that he helped her out. He came in and obstructed my efforts to find out the truth, and I blamed Adele for it when the real culprit was right in front of me." "No," he said, refusing to agree with Aryan. "It is true that everything was plotted by me, but Selene is innocent. Whatever she d
Against All Odds NOT HER FATHER
Aryan left and went to pick up Adele and Mrs. Harold, just as they had agreed. When he arrived at the mountain and saw Adele, he was so happy and hugged her lovingly. "You will finally get justice," he said to her. Mrs. Harold got into her car, while Adele got into Aryan's car with him, and they drove back home.On their way to Aryans' house, Adele decided to ask him the question that was plaguing her mind. Although Mrs. Harold had assured her, she believed it was better to hear from the horse's mouth.After hesitating for a while, she began, "Aryan, about Selene....I know of your love for her so....will you be able to bear seeing her punished?"Aryan smiled and shook his head, "you're asking me a funny question. All this time and you still haven't figured out my feelings? I don't love Selene. I never understand why I didn't feel attached to her as I did to you but now that I think about it, it's such a good thing.I am very happy and relieved that you are the only one my heart beat
Against All Odds IT WAS ALL ME
The mayor and everyone else listened as Selene's father continued, "I was the one who did everything possible to make sure that Audrey survived. I easily figured out that she was a purebred while my brother was oblivious to it. If I did not act when I did, she would have died. Eventually, when I asked why she needed water, she said she had accidentally tasted poison and only water could save her, but there was no water around where she found herself. That's why she began to run towards a water source. However, with the poison in her body, she became too weak and unable to move fast until she bumped into us. It was painful to watch how Rain took her from me. He suddenly confessed his feelings to her, and she accepted him. But what about me? I was the first one to love her. If it weren't for what I did, she would not have gotten another chance. But what happened? She chose him over me. I was the stronger one, the best for her. But even after I confessed my feelings, it did not mean a
