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 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
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 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
Epilogue.Months later...Author's POV.Adrian was in the hospital, staring into space and that was how she had been for the past months. Always staring into space, thinking.Things had happened those past months, and Natalia couldn't be revived. She died while saving her daughter, leaving Adrian and Galton orphans.Lincoln Lime was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment, and all his property was given to Adrian as compensation, though she rejected it, giving the government a chance to own the properties til further notice.Galton was very hurt by the death of Natalia, and he was adopted by Raphael, even though he was of age, he wanted it.Ryan and Beatrice also got married and Beatrice was pregnant."Adriana." Adrian was called out of thought by Raphael, and she turned to him with a thin smile on her lips."Hey, you're back."Raphael had gone to grab her a basket of fruits as she craved."Yes," He leaned to her forehead and pecked her with his hand caressing her protruding stoma
Chapter 1. An attempt to save a drunk man. Adrian's pov. It was a bright morning and I scurried out of my room as I wore my clothing, I was in such a hurry not to miss my literature lecture that morning, as I was lagging in the course badly and my final examination was coming soon, I didn't want to cry a bitter tear and stay an extra year in the school. "Mom! I'm off to school!" My voice rang all around the less wealthy home I lived in with my mom and brother. Though our house was less wealthy, it had modesty, humbleness, and love in it. Even though the house was smaller and needed some repairs like the linking roof, and it also didn't have all the latest conveniences, that doesn't mean it's not filled with love and comfort. It was way cozier and more inviting for us since we had each other's back in everything. I am Adrian Williams, a 21-year-old white-skinned lady, people say that I am beautiful, but who cares about that when all I wanted and needed presently was money to foot
Chapter 2. What will I look like, as a lecturer? Raphael O'Neill's POV. I sat still on the floor in shock as I looked at my savior who was also on the floor beside me, she was not moving, and I felt my heart skipping a beat. "Is she dead?" I wondered. I crawled closer to her with my eyes already cleared from the intoxicating wine I drank, I was already sober. "Girl, hey!" I called out. I withdrew, staring at her with bug-out eyes, now in astonishment, I was sure that the car never hit her, the driver must be a good driver as he had diverted the car to the other side of the road just in time and we escaped him. I only managed to snatch out of shock and took a chill pill when the lady jolted to her feet. "Are you okay?" She questioned me, then she helped me up to my feet. I was unable to answer her as my eyes were glued to the beauty in front of me. Her face was not visible when she was on the floor, but when she raised her head, my thoughts suddenly became messed up with just the
Chapter 3. Our new lecturer. Adrian pov. It was a Monday morning, I was dressing up in my small, and poorly furnished room, whose painting on the walls was already peeling. The room had stained and worn-out linoleum floors, and it had a few pieces of furniture, which were just my wooden bed reading table, and chair, the room was filled with the smell of cheap detergent. The lighting was a harsh fluorescent which was almost broken as cracks were obvious around it. I tried to make the room look better by adding a few decorations around it and covering the windows in cheap linens, which added a little bit of beauty to the room also, I made the room so neat. I finished dressing up and left my room to the mini dining room, which had just four wooden chairs neatly arranged around a cracked and crippled dinner table in the dining room and a few dishes were placed on the table. Mom was already seated, with Galton, my younger brother, they were waiting patiently for me to join them for b
