Chapter 71.

The deal is a deal.

Adrian's POV.

Beatrice had returned to work and I thought that I was free from all the responsibilities of winning Raphael who had made it clear that if I didn't want to work with him, he was not ready to invest in the company and turned out that he was the real investor and not Mr Carter.

On a real, I went back to my normal editing job and that morning when I resumed work, I picked up the paper bag I came with which was filled with black coffee for Mr Maven as a token of apology that I chased off his investor who was ready to invest all his dollars in the company if only I would be the one to finalize the deal with him.

As usual, the journey to Mr Maven's office was such a short one. I got to Beatrice's seat and it was empty, I needed no soothsayer to tell me she would be with Mr Maven.

I wanted to knock on the door, but I heard my name being mentioned from inside the office and my curiosity peaked.

I leaned my ear on the door to listen to everything

    Chapter 72.Who is Raphael O'Neill?Adrian's POV.Was that not what he wanted, for me to agree to his terms and conditions even if it was not the best for me? 'Then why is he sullen when I finally agreed to it?'Raphael fell back on his seat, looking very hurt. "You should leave," He muttered to me.Leave? And what next? Getting automatic firing when the company couldn't pay its employees anymore? That's bullshit.I gently returned to my seat, looking dejectedly at him. "Aren't you supposed to be listing out your terms and conditions to the contract and start thinking of penning down your signature?"He intertwined his fingers and glanced at me before returning his eyes to his held fist, "I'm an asshole, I desperately want to have you close to me and it is toying with my reasoning, I can't believe that yet again, I made you cry."He got out of his seat, "Look at me, I came here to rectify my mistake and I still have the gut to make more, I feel like punching myself in the gut right no

    Chapter 73.The deal was finalized and signed.Adrian's POV.What's he telling me? He was never poor. 'Does that mean he came to my school just for fun?' I wondered. Maybe he already had everything strategised, maybe his main goal was to deceive the innocent students and get what he wanted from them, and I was the unlucky one who got to be the victim.That caused some tears in my eyes. I was used."Adrian," He wanted to wipe my tears."No, don't!" I took my face away from him. "Let go of me."He held tighter, "Adrian, you have to listen to me, please.""No! Let go of me this instant!" Normally, I would have hit him, slapped his face and just hit him off, but I couldn't, not when his guards were looking that deadly, they could bundle me to hell."Adrian you're getting it all wrong, I love you, please believe me."I couldn't control my hand with those words, so I slapped him. How could he be so cruel and continue to lie to my face about loving me? How?"Don't you ever tell me that you

    Chapter 74.No turning back.Adrian's POV.I woke up from sleep, but I didn't have the balls to stand up from bed, all it takes for me to be that lazy is the thought that I won't be going to the company for a while, I was stuck with Raphael.A knock came on my door and I knew it must be Ryan, "Go away." I muttered to him.I was not surprised when he entered. I didn't spare him a glance, I knew that he would enter anyway. He and Galton, it was like they worked with the same spirit in them, when I survived Galton, Ryan took his place.Ryan and I are sharing the same apartment, a two-bedroom apartment. He got us the house when we relocated here and foot the bills, though I made sure to pay him back after I got some money from my salary to spare."Tell me I'm seeing things right now." I heard him gasp.I knew he was referring to me on the bed. Instead of answering him, I pulled the covers over my head and balled myself more on the bed."Oh, Andy! You're so pitiful right now," I felt him p

    Chapter 75.Is Raphael sick?Raphael POV.Knowing that Adriana would be coming over to my place today fueled my anxiety. It brightened my day so much and I couldn't stop smiling.Early in the morning, I had woken up very early to inform all the workers in the mansion about her arrival. I had told them, "My sweetheart is coming to the mansion today, treat her with care."I had also made it known to them that the gate should be open wide for her when she arrived. I showed them her pictures to avoid any sort of misunderstanding.When she arrived, I had watched her from my laptop since the mansion was surrounded with a lot of cameras. "She's beautiful." I had muttered to myself and that was just the truth. She was very alluring.My eyes were on her from her short journey from the gate to my office and when the door of my office opened, I shut the device.I raised my eyes to stare at her and threw her a greeting, "Good morning, Miss Williams."I hated it every time I called her by her las

I told myself for the hundredth time and tucked under the duvet once again."Andy, I'll be off to work now!" Ryan yelled from out of the door."Yeah!" I replied to him tiredly."Don't tell me you're still in bed," He opened the door, "Not again! Andy, it's past 9!"I didn't reply to him, I just turned my back to him and pulled the covers over my head.I felt a side of my bed sinking which told me he sat on it, "Are you sick?""Yes."'Yes, I'm sick! I'm sick of going to Raphael's house every day and I'm sick of keeping up with him. I'm sick of seeing his face, knowing that I was unable to do anything to his handsome face than to stare when he was not looking. I'm sick of rethinking my hatred for him since that d

    Chapter 77.Knowing his mind.Adrian's POV.Clothed in a very thick pullover, I was led to the dining room where the food was neatly spread on the table. I took my seat.I don't know where Raphael got the pullover from, it was big and warm. Cozy.Raphael got hold of the plates and opened them up for me while I made sure to glue my eyes to the table like it was the most important thing at that moment.I was desperately avoiding his eyes."I'll feed you," He volunteered, but I disagreed."No, I'll feed myself. I got this."I pulled the plate filled with rice in front of me and dug my spoon into it before he could say another word.The food tasted just like the same old days, just the way his food always tastes. It was welcoming and refreshing and its taste was heavenly. "This is so good." I complimented in my head."You know cooking is my addon."I almost choked because of his response, I never knew that I said those words out loud. I was covered with embarrassment.I cleared my throat

    Chapter 78.A moment of truth.Adrian's POV.I was given a fright when Raphael hit on a small rock and the car jerked up, and the fact that the road was very bad and it looked sloppy. I almost thought that we were dying.Fuck that! I thought we were freaking dying!"Raphael!""Chill Adrian, I gat us and I have been here several times, this little bumpy is minimal to all the other times I've come." He spoke like he was driving on a highway, and he had the guts to smile.I took my glare from him and pulled out the seatbelt just in case of anything, I would be able to save my head and bolt out of the car alive. Alone.Though I knew deeply in my heart that I couldn't leave him alone to die, at least I would try my best to save him, but if he tried to tell me that he wouldn't be saved then, sorry, I can do nothing to that.'That's a lie, you'll die with him!' My conscience countered me. Dammit! That's right, I have not even forgiven him for what he did to me yet. He can't die."So, scary b

I've never in my life see myself being a lecturer but when I saw her that one night, looking so perfect with a good heart, I couldn't ignore her, I had to grab what I saw before it slipped out of my reach, even if it meant painting myself to be someone else."I am that man," I told her.I risked a stare at her and I saw the multiple glances she was sparing me, her look was priceless and she was very serious with everything up, most importantly, she seemed confused.I had to clear her confusion, "When I got broken by my wife, the woman you saw me with, I was very annoyed and hurt, I had to calm myself somehow and I got into drinking, and abandoning my duties, my CEO position, I abandoned my life, leaving everything to the hands of Carter wh

    Chapter 120.The end Adrian's POV.We have been hidden here for more than enough days and I haven't seen Mom no matter how I tried.The proposal Lincoln wanted to make with me just went by like that because I couldn't choose one, I couldn't lose my Mom, neither could I lose my baby whom I just know about.I love them both. So much.So I chose none and he left me then.Since that day, I haven't seen Lincoln, and I have been locked in the room. The only time I saw people was when I wanted to eat, they would bring food for me to eat.Today, like every day, the door opened, but this time, unlike every day, it was Lincoln who entered, and unlike every other time, when he would come by just to tease me and try to kiss me or seduce me.He tried to touch me just once, and after that, he left me, but today, he came into the room looking so annoyed.Lincoln grabbed my arm and began to pull me out of the room, "Lincoln, I..."He's cut me off with a snap, "Shut up and follow me!"I had to shut m

    Chapter 119.Realizing where they are.Raphael's POV.I rushed to meet up with the investigator as they returned from their investigation, "Any news?" "No, Mr O'Neill, not yet." He replied to me.My body grew cold and my inside turned crisp like a nipping fall was happening inside of me. I was not okay, and the only thing stopping me from running mad was an unknown call that would say that Adriana was dead.I bet I would die immediately. It was very certain."What's your job if you can't find a little missing person? One got missing, we were thinking of escaping her, now another, and all you could tell us is that you can't locate them?"We've been waiting impatiently for words from you, and now that the words come, all you have to answer to us with is no? Why? It's days and do you have any idea of what that bastard is doing to my Mom and my sister, especially my sister? "If she's your sister, won't you locate her even if you have to enter the ground to find her? Are you playing shi

    Chapter 118.Sorrow mixed with happiness.Adrian's POV.I couldn't let him go to my Mom, I ran to him when he was walking away and fell on my knees in front of him while weeping.I held onto his legs and cried, "Please, kill me and let my Mom go. She did nothing wrong and think of the good times when she would support you and fight for you."Think of the times my Mom would hit me because I treated you badly and spare her because she did nothing wrong to you. I am the one that wronged you. I chose Raphael over you and I should be punished. Please kill me and let my Mom go."Lincoln squinched in front of me and wiped my tears with his thumb, "You will be my gain in all these things I'm doing, so if I kill you for your Mom, what will be my gain? Nothing."I shook my head still, "Please don't hurt my Mom.""How will you believe me if I tell you I won't? You don't believe me when I told you at first.""Then let me see her, I have to be sure that she's okay, please." He twisted his lips, s

  • All I Want Is My Lecturer.   Kidnapped.

    Chapter 117.Kidnapped.Adrian's POV.I know it was very bad of me to sneak out of the room and away when I could have waited behind and told what I wanted to do to Raphael, but I couldn't wait anymore for his judgment, he was taking too long to take a step and help to locate my Mom.I had pretended to be asleep after calming down from the shock of Millar's death and for the fact that I could have prevented her death, maybe if I was fast enough to stop her the other day she came to me, I would have saved her.Or maybe if I pretended that she was my friend as she said when she arrived, I should have saved her.However, the truth remains that she was dead, and I couldn't save her, but there was my Mom who needed me. She was in the custody and must be suffering. I would have been calm that my Mom would be fine since Lincoln had her, but he was bold enough to kill his girlfriend, so who is my Mom that he couldn't kill? So I had to leave to do what I could to save my Mom.When I was gett

    Chapter 116.Why my brother?Raphael's POV.I managed to lure Adriana to sleep because she kept on shivering and reminding me that Millar was good.That was yet, another one of our difficult times.I gently closed up the door behind me, making sure to keep her in and to make sure not to wake her. I returned to the sitting room.I met Galton, Ryan and Karla sitting down in different thoughts, they sat on different sofas."Do you find something else?" I questioned randomly.Ryan raised his head to stare at me and he shook his head, "Nothing yet. The guards haven't returned since you left."He rubbed his hands together and was deep in thought, "Last time we saw Millar, it was two days ago when Andy went to the mall to buy her dress. Millar seemed to have something up her sleeve to be keeping from us, and she wanted to tell us, but_"He cut himself off and sighed."But what?" I moved closer to him, "Anything is useful right now Ryan.""But we didn't allow her to talk. You know Millar is a

    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

    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

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
