Chapter 107.I would destroy her.Lincoln's POV.I threw my phone to the walls as soon as I set my feet into the penthouse of my hotel located here in London.I only managed to keep the pains in my within til I got to the penthouse.When I was in the car, my hands were fidgeting so that I couldn't hold anything, not even my phone, and so, my legs, wobbled, if I had worn another footwear that was not as housing as sneakers, I bet my legs could have slipped off I held my head and my eyes itched with unshed tears, 'Why is this happening to me? Why must Raphael have everything I desire? Just why?'My fingers snaked into my hair and clenched it, and I shut my eyes, unable to hide in the pain I was feeling in my heart. My heart was screaming with each side of it, fighting against each other. It was broken into pieces and I hated to be like this.I began to feel great pain from my scarp, which I was pulling my hair from, but at that time, the pain was nothing to me. It was merely compared
Chapter 108.I want her back.Lincoln's POV.I would have her killed if she wanted Adrian dead because soon, whether the world likes it or not, I would be claiming back what was rightfully mine.I remembered I told Raphael that I was dating Millar and I sighed.I lied to Raphael so that he wouldn't see me as a rival or threat. Anytime I attacked him for my bride, I would take him by surprise like I loved doing."You surely are," Millar finally answered my questions, "But this piece of clothing is close to nothing. A little pull and it would be out.""And who will pull it out? You?" I let out a dry chuckle which had no humour in it, "Oh, please! Except if you've written your will and goodnight letter to your parents."A flicker of fear arose on her face, which I caught before her face could return to the dry, seductive one."So, you know Adrian." She changed the topic, and I could bet it was for her good since the topic was creating a dark side in me.If that dark side had been success
Chapter 109.Millar's little display.Adrian's POV.It was my marriage eve with Raphael, and I was in my room, lonely on the bed.Mom had prohibited Raphael from seeing me immediately after we were done with the engagement. She said she would make sure that Raphael didn't catch a gleam of me so that my wedding night would be special as it would be obvious that Raphael would miss me.Now, I was the one missing Raphael. 'It's not fair.'I was in my bed, doing nothing serious, just under the covers and staring into space like it was the most interesting thing at the moment.The door of my room opened, and I peeped at who came it. It was Mom, and Karla trailed behind her.They both gasped at once, "Why are you still in bed? We thought you could have dressed up and got ready for your gown selection."I groaned with my hands tucking under the pillow in their own will, "I'm tired." I replied to them grumpily.They both laughed and joined me in bed, fixing me amiss themselves. "You silly chi
Chapter 110.Jealous of their friendship.Adrian's POV.We pushed Millar's thoughts off our minds and we made to enter the store together when Ryan gasped, "What am I doing with the ladies? Ain't I supposed to be with the men?"We busted into a laugh, "You just prove yourself a womanizer." Beatrice told him.Ryan gave her a frown, "No, no, we both know that's a lie. You're the only one I love and you know it.""You wish, anyways, run along before you get addicted to staying here with us and you end up dressing to your friend's wedding in a skirt." Beatrice joked."Oh, oh! I think I love that. I should be her best lady or lady in wardrobe. I will rock it." Ryan began to twitch his body with one of his hands stretched out like a lady.He fixed his short hair stylishly and began to catwalk before us.He turned to us after the little display, "How well was I?"I raised my fingers and gave him an okay sigh with my thumb and index finger pulling together.I made to smile with the gesturing,
Chapter 111.The wedding day.Author's POV.Adrian woke up, and for a minute there, she couldn't imagine where she was, but when she did, she remembered what day today was, and she smiled.She woke up in a penthouse in a five-star hotel, which was booked for them.They would be getting the full party done in the hall of the hotel.They had gone to a registrar to get the court wedding done last evening, and today, was their wedding day.'It is today, my wedding day. The day I would be tying the knot with my love, Raphael.' Thought Adrian.Adrian was happy today like she had never been so happy all her life, and one thing she wished for was for her father to be here as one of their witnesses, 'he could have been the one to down me done the isle.' She thought, feeling so sad to lose her father.Adrian sat down on her bed, and her eyes were fixed anxiously on the clock that was ticking very slowly like its mission was to frustrate her.On a normal good day, time is always fast, but not to
Chapter 113.After-party enjoyment.Raphael's POV.The party was over to some extent, and Adriana and I had to leave. I held Adriana in my arms and beckoned to Galton."We will be leaving now," I told him."Yeah, leaving immediately for your honeymoon." He chuckled."Can't we just wait til tomorrow? I'm very tired right now." Adriana whined out."No, sis, can't do."Galton walked away from us.Adriana turned to me, "Why don't you try to stop him? He will listen to you." I smiled at her, "I support everything he says but today, I'll consider my wife first."She gave me a beautiful smile and hugged me. "I love you, dear husband.""I love you, my sweet wife.""Let's get lost before Galton returns."She nodded and laughed.I picked her up from the floor in a bridal style and escaped through the backdoor and straight to the private elevator that whirled us to the penthouse.We entered and I locked the door, bolting it and keeping us secured."Even if they find us here, they won't be chanc
Chapter 114.After party enjoyment ruined.Raphael's POV.Adriana and I got up and managed a quick shower. We dressed up as quickly as we could, and we went out of the room.I met my guards outside, "Where's Galton?" I questioned them.One moved forward and replied to me, "He left for the mansion with ma'am Karla. I think they're searching for Mrs Mom.""On my gosh! Raphael, it's true." Adriana broke down in tears.My eyes moistened when I saw her tears. I almost felt useless that just a day after our wedding, I was already breaching my promise to her.I promise to protect her and her family, and now, this.I blinked my tears away and picked up my wife in a bridal style, "Let's go to the mansion to see what's going on there." I told her and she replied with a nod, with tears dripping slowly from her eyes.We left the hotel for the mansion, and throughout our journey, I just kept patting my wife's back with her in my arms.I was silently telling her that all would be okay.Whereas, I d
Chapter 115.Millar is dead.Raphael's POV.I sat on the bed with everyone, they were all ready to see what the manager sent to me, it was the CCTV I requested from the manager.I was to play it but paused, "What are we expecting in this video?" I questioned them all."To see who lured Mom out," Galton replied to me."To know if Mrs Williams is kidnapped or something else happened to her," Beatrice muttered too."Let's just check it and see what's there to see, I want to know if my Mom is around and can be located immediately. There might be a location somewhere, she cannot be kidnapped without a reason." Adriana snapped at me.She spoke with pain lacing her voice like she knew that I was trying to defend my brother, like she knew that I was trying to believe that my brother could not do something like that.Like I was waiting for them to change their mind and stop focusing on Lincoln and tainting him evil when he was not.I signed, feeling defeated. "Fine."I pressed the play button
