Adele's pov

I stepped out of the changing room, in an off shoulder gown that stops at my mid thigh.. I twirled.

I spread my arms and put on a very bright smile, I faced Clark.

"What do you think?" I asked him.

He face palmed himself and groaned disapprovingly, he shook his head.

"Absolutely no!" He said.

My eyebrows drew together in a deep frown, I pouted and angrily kicked the red heels I was wearing.

"What do you mean, absolutely no?" I asked in a deep resonate voice.

"This isn't matured enough!" he said.

I looked down at the dress, how is this dress not matured? Did he expect me to wear a granny's gown?

I lifted my head and narrowed my eyes at him.

"Let's just leave! I'm not gonna try on another dress!" I snapped at him.

Like seriously, this is the twenty-seventh dress I'm trying on, he's been disapproving every single dress I tried on.

It's either not matured enough, or too slutty...or too babyish! None of them suits his taste.

    Adele's pov "Jas, are you sure I look ok?" I asked Jasmine for the hundredth time. Jasmine sighed feeling frustrated at my repeated question...and slumped onto her dressing table, she held her head in her hands.Ok.. let me brief you guys.After Clark left me at the mall, I came home directly to get dressed.But I suddenly remembered I'll be meeting his parents, It wouldn't look good if I dress so crazily.. but the problem is, I'm not good at getting dressed up and stuff.Which left me just one person... Jasmine! She's a fashion icon, she's my only hope.. that's why I'm in her room right now."Say something, Jas" She groaned."Adele, you look absolutely fabs!" She replied.I twirled around in front of her mirror and smiled in satisfaction, she really did a great job.The make-up she did for me is just so impeccable, the way she stylishly gelled and combed my hair is absolutely a masterpiece! "I should be sleeping by now" she grumbled.Oh..right, I woke her up from sleep."Sleepin

Sir Roman's resident...Henry halted outside the door, he grabbed the handle but hesitated as he pondered wether to go in or not.Suddenly, the door pushed open and Simon (sir Roman's butler), stepped out."Mr O'Briens" he greeted Henry with a bow."Is grandfather inside?" Henry.He tilted his head and took a glance inside, but couldn't see Sir Roman."Yes, Mr O'Briens... he said he knows you're here"Henry took a deep breath, he nodded and pushed Simon aside then walked in.He walked straight into the living room, with Simon trailing behind him.Sir Roman sat on a recliner, a glass of wine in his hand and a TV remote on the other hand.. he's watching a wrestling match."Sir, Mr O'Briens is here" Simon reported.Sir Roman simply waved him off, he turned to Henry with a smile.. that clearly doesn't reach his eyes."Henry...

I rushed inside and headed for the living room."Good heavens, I'm so tired!" I groaned.I slumped onto a sofa, I threw my purse on the table and kicked off my heels...I leaned back on the sofa and released deep breaths of relief. Clark came in, he threw the keys on the table and slumped onto the sofa next to mine.. he sighed too.He took my left hand in his and caressed it gently."Baby, thanks for saving back there" he said, referring to the dinner with his parents."Well, I was kinda defending my dignity.. but, I'm happy it saved you from those wolves" I joked and we laughed briefly.Then a very comfortable silence fell on us, we stared at the tv screen blankly.. after all, it was switched off.I turned to face him, just to find he's alre

    The next morning.I woke up and found Thanatos side of bed empty, I reached forward and felt it with my palm... It's cold.He must have woken up since. A yawn left my mouth and I stretched my limps.I looked down at myself and realized I'm no longer in my towel... Thanatos must have helped me change into my nightie.My eyes found the alarm clock and they instantly bulged out of their sockets...07:43am!Davis is gonna be late for school.I quickly hopped off the bed and rushed out of the room, barefooted."Momma!" Davis called happily, the moment I stepped into the living room."Hey, baby, you're...." I swallowed my words as I took in his dressing.He's already dressed for school, he's perfectly groomed in his school uniform.. making him look very smart."... you're ready for school?" "Yeah, daddy got me ready" he replied.Just then Thanatos walked in with a tray of milk and bread, judging by his dressing, he's already dressed for work.Wow!

I yelled at whoever called me."Yo.. miss Rodgers, good morning to you too" a familiar voice responded.My eyes grew wider and I made to sit up abruptly, but an arm tightly wrapped around my waist kept pulling me down."Arthur?""The one and only" he replied.I smiled."It's a surprise that you called me, is Jasmine's phone not reachable?" I asked. He went silent, then I heard shuffling sound as though he's moving."We talked last night, I just wanted to inform you I'm back..."He's back? Wasn't he supposed to arrive today? Or did I mistook the date?"...you know, before you hear it from Jas and send me to an early grave""Oh"I smiled...That was before when I was still obsessed with him, I'd be sad and angry when he informs Jas about everything he does... everything that goes on in his life.Honestly, I'm quite shoc

He asked."What's going on?" I asked back.That's the question I had asked myself, when I stepped into the restaurant."Mr O'Briens.. what's going on between you two?" He asked again."Nothing" I replied."Eish.. I know you're both a couple, but did something happened between you two?"Ok.. I don't understand his question."Did you have a fight?"A fight? Wait.. t

"Was that a revenge?" I cut him off in a gruffly.Hearing his voice alone is increasing the anger in me, it's as if I should just go away from him...I don't wanna hear him talk."A revenge?"

"Sure enough, he's involved in this!" Peter too a few steps away from him, he knew Thanatos wouldn't mind landing a punch on his face right now."How can he use such a cheap trick?"Peter remained silent, Thanatos averted his gaze to him (Peter)."What about McMahon? How did Jade ended up being his assistant?""Oh.. McMahon sold his company to an anonymous buyer.."His (Thanatos) brows drew together in a tight frown, his fist balled and punched the table.".... we are still yet to know how the new boss is related to Jade"Thanatos glared at the paper he just threw across the living, then his eyes moved back to the smashed phone on the table."I have a hint of who this new boss might be..."

Currently, we're listening to the recorded conversation.But while this is going on, an old man whom I just got to know as Mr Roman, is glaring daggers at ma Gloria."Ahem!" An officer cleared his throat. "Mr Roman, what do you have to say about this? Did you had this conversation?" He asked the old man.Mr Roman simply glared at ma Gloria and scoffed, he refused to speak a word."I'll take your silence as a yes...""Don't waste your breath, I know you're gonna send my case to the court.. but first, I want to see my grandson" Mr Roman said.His grandson?

"Yeah.."She frowned at the bags Peter's carrying, then took my hands in hers and pouted."Why are y'all taking so much bags with you? Do you plan on settling there already?"I frowned slightly, then burst into a brief laugh."Adele, we might stay for some days.. you're making it sound like I'm abandoning you""Are you not?" she asked."You're just being overly dramatic" I told her.Just then we heard a knock on the door, I wanted to go get it but Adele told me not to bother.Her flicked to my stomach and she smiled, she pushed me onto a sofa and made me sit down."You should take care of yourself now" she said, her eyes still on my stomach.I rolled my eyeballs."I told you guys, this might just be a false alarm" Honestly, I didn't want anyone to find out about this just yet, because it might be a false ala

"He was a farmer"It's better I tell him the truth now, I can't bear the repercussions if he finds out I lied later...rich people are always powerful."Was?" He tilted his head slightly."Yes, sir...he died last year, he suffered lung cancer" I said. Mr Evans nodded, he exchanged a knowing look with his wife and her lips curved in a smile.. or smirk..

The officer asked."He's.. he's.. my stepfather"Who's this Mr Roman everyone is talking about? How come I don't seem to know him? Or maybe I haven't seem him before."Your stepfather...." the officer trailed off and jotted down in his note, then lifted his head."... can you tell us about your relationship with him?"

It's been two hours already.How could I sleep for such a long time? I guess the movie was too boring and I ended up falling asleep. "Jas, they are back!" Adele said.I sprang off the sofa abruptly, my heart suddenly skipped and some unknown fear gripped me..my heart started beating fast.I hope it all went well..."Jas, Clark and Thana are back!" she repeated her words."They're back?" I asked again.I turned towards Davis who's already sleeping on the sofa, I carried him on my shoulder and snatched his backpack from the table.

Thanatos pushed him away, but he wasn't fast enough.The bullet hit him (Thanatos) and went through his chest, just an inch away from his heart.Thanatos gasped loudly in pain, he aimed randomly and shot at whoever shot him... he clung on his bleeding chest."Thana.. I think we should retreat and think of another plan" Clark said worriedly.Thanatos focused his gaze on the retirement home ahead of him, he shook his head in disagreement."We must get my mom out today!" He got up and knocked Clark out."Peter stay and watch over him, find a hideout and hide there.. until it's all over" he told Peter."Mr O'Briens..."I glared at him, but he ignored my glare and continued."...you can't fight with those guys, they're skilled assassins""Don't make me knock you out too" he said and rushed towards the gun fire battle. **Thanatos pov Standing in the

We're currently sitting round a table, in a restaurant right opposite Molina's retirement home."I discovered something very interesting" he said again and paused.Can he just finish his words in a go? I have very important things to do than listening to him blab about his date."Those security men patrolling the place, can you see them?" He asked.I faced him and realized he's pointing at the security men guiding the retirement home."Yes? What's with them?" I asked, then turned my gaze back to the security men."They are spies, they're not real security men"I rolled my eyeballs and shook my head, then poured him a glass of water."Clark, tell me something I don't know" I told him, dumping the glass of water in front of him."What do you mean?

I scolded her.She slapped her hands on her mouth, but doesn't stop screaming. When she's had enough, she stopped. "I knew you'd react this way, that's why I brought you to the locker room" I told her in warning tone.She scoffed and shrugged off my words, crazy female."You mean, Elvis was sent here by your dad.. to watch over you?" She asked."Yeah""Now it all makes sense!" She exclaimed."What makes sense?". I asked.She got up, I sighed and rolled my eyeballs.. she's about to make it dramatic.Her hands behind her, she paced to and fro in front of me...she tilted her head as though she's thinking."Our behaviors throughout these years should have gotten us fired, but it didn't"Adele nodded her head, she stopped pacing and reache
