A queen and the Knights

2021-06-04 18:50:01Before Adele could even walk, a motorcycle came towards her rushing. It just passed her with a gap of inches. She jumped backwards with the sudden incident. The rider turned his neck with an evil smile before getting out of vision.
Albert got out of the car in a hurry. He looked at the rides skill. That man must be a professional. Pulling Adele by hands, he pinned her on the car.
"I warned you before. Leave what you are trying to do." He was scared somehow. He didn't know why suddenly he started to care about an unknown girl so much. Was that because her connection with Elijah Wilson?
"I'm not here to leave. And they were just trying to scare me. No one has guts to attack me." She laughed at his concerns. Those concerns that stop her from the goal, she chose to forget them.
"You are stubborn as ever." Albert gritted his teeth. She was the first person to disobey him on his face. But the charm of her confidence never leaves a chance to impress hi

Darkness in our life A call from CEO
Reaching at the office floor, Adele found herself in an awkward situation. Everyone was looking at her with wide eyes. Eva came towards her running. "Where were you yesterday? We were so tensed. You are okay right?" What would she reply? That someone sent people to kidnap her? Or she was unconscious for a long time? Even she was threatened by a mafia leader and attacked his base? None of them was good idea. "Hehe, I was just in some problems. It's okay now." She didn't want to explain. "Do you know assistant Ryan was asking about you yesterday? God! He was damn handsome." Eva was really very childish. Rose pinched her to stop saying rubbish, "Adele, you were not present on the second day of job and the assistant was finding you. I'm afraid your job is at risk." Adele was fearing the same. But never guessed she was that much popular in CEO'S office."I think you might have a chance too meet the

"What if I don't sign?" Albert tightened his fist, his muscles tensed. He worked hard to rebuild the Knight Enterprises. Maybe he had another businesses, but this was the closest to him. He couldn't afford to lose it. "Afraid?" Adele mocked his vulnerability. She smirked while going through the papers again. She didn't care about his property or name. But she was also not ready to sign those papers only for his happiness. Of course he didn't treat her well. "What's your connection with Elijah Wilson?" He again asked in a stern voice. "And why are you so concerned about him?" She also raised her voice. Albert was shocked to see her shouting. She never did it before. He looked at those papers once again. He took some deep breaths to calm himself. Then said softly, "If you don't want to sign, then don't. No force." Adele was taken aback by his sudden change. Wasn't the reason he found her? Then why did he suddenly start

Adele's POV Mi Amor? I raised an eyebrow. Then a devil grin crept up my lips. I was rather feeling helpless. There are a lot of persons to observe my every movement. Sometimes I felt I lacked freedom. But sill that gift made me feel a little happy. Long time, no one called me Mi Amore. I took the gift with me and again started to work. When I was too much attentive in my fileworks, suddenly Eva cleared her throat.I looked at her with a question. With a smirk, she took the gift from my desk and started to examine it. Observing the luxurious wrapping and the greetings card, she gave me a knowing look. Fool. "Mi Amor....ohhh!" She looked from the side of eyes, "You didn't say you've a Knight in shining armor. What's inside it?" Her smirk made me laugh. "I didn't open it." I said casually. And I was not interested. She rolled her eyes and started started to unwrap. But to her utter surprise, ther

Adele's POV Dad! Albert had dad's picture in his bedroom?! It's been a long I've seen him even in pictures. I didn't take any of his memories with me. Because I never wanted anyone to know my real identity. I bent down to the nightstand beside his bed and took that frame in my hand. I slowly trailed my finger over the frame feeling the warmth of dad's hand. I could remember his scent, that made me feel protected. I felt someone's gaze on me. For some good moments, I forgot I was not the only one in the room. It was Albert's room and he was also there, right behind me. "Who's he to you?" His cold tone never knew how to leave. I had a lot of trust issues. Is it good to let him know? The person who abandoned me right after the wedding. Then found me again for some signatures. That so called husband could never be believed. But again, he was the person who saved me though it was not needed. He met me again and again bef

"So Dylan was your middle name. And every time you used it to befool me?" Adele looked at him coldly. That man didn't say her anything about Albert Knight or his own identity. He just pretended to be a survivor who came when she was drowning. Robert was sitting like a kid who got scolded from his teacher and were asked to call his parents. He was looking at Albert from the side if eyes. That brat didn't let him maintain the good image. It was drained that moment she knew his real identity. "But every time you helped me not because of my marriage, right? You knew my real identity and my father too." Her eyes were cold while looking at Robert. She understood the reason behind all of his support, care, concern and love. Both of the brothers were close to Elijah Wilson and so with her. Robert knew the real identity and that's why tried to keep her safe. But she guessed something a long ago. Maybe only being a relative was a better reason th

"Adele!" Rose was blinking her eyes looking at her with shock. Eva was standing with her mouth wide open. Blake and Noah were looking at her up to down. "What? Have you seen any ghost?" Adele asked being irritated by their gaze. They had been looking at her since she entered the office. Even every employee was looking at her with those expressions. She was thinking from the beginning what was their reasons. "Tell me truthfully girl, are you stalking Albert Knight?" Eva said pointing her index finger at her., "You have been to the CEO's office more than anyone ever did. And today you came with him. How?" Adele was surprised how they knew about it. She got down the car on the road to avoid these gossips. But bad luck! "You were in his car, right? Your picture has become the hot topic in our office gossip page." Blake said with a smirk. Well, there was a gossip page too? H

"Mr. Lan, I thought the CEO would be here." Albert was enraged with the thought just a newcomer company disgraced him. He came to meet them by himself and the CEO didn't care to show up and even didn't provide any decisions with the man in front of him. How dare they! "Errr....Mr Knight, actually she's quite busy." Nathan didn't know any other excuse. He himself didn't know what was Adele doing. But the bitter truth was she ditched her own company to work with other ones. Sometimes Nathan wondered if she really cared about those properties of billions. "Busy? What did you mean by busy?" Albert asked in a cold tone that made Nathan gulped his saliva. Damn you Adele! If Nathan found her, she would be beaten to a pulp. Nathan sighed and dialled Adele's number. But she didn't pick the call up. Albert wanted to bury him alive. He was fuming with anger. He never tolerated any lacking in respect. "I think, I'm not interested in De

"You were scared last night?" Adele asked suddenly remembering his words. She couldn't ask him back then.His kiss was soft and tender, in which she was compelled to melt. She never thought she would accept a kiss from the so called husband, her first kiss. She was wondering how much affect this man had on her from the first meeting. The affects were increasing day by day. Inspite of their ignored marriage, she started to feel something for him.Albert turned his head after hearing the question. He remembered their first kiss. He was glad she didn't push him away even started kissing him back later."What do you think?" He chose to let her find the answer herself.It's been 14 years since he started to find her. Even after his marriage his only thought was around that little cute Amber whom he promised to protect with his life. Though he failed once, he wanted to make up for it. Now he fo

Albert was feeling so relaxed yet stressed at the same time. It felt good to get a family back. Again he took a huge responsibility not knowing even if he was eligible for it or not. He noticed something has changed in Adele. She was looking so calm and composed unlike times when she opened up herself. Sitting next to her laptop lazily in the bed, she kept checking some important files. "You are not even working, what are you really thinking?" Albert asked curiously as he noticed her unmindfulness. Adele didn't say anything. She could only sigh. "I am sorry." Albert raised his head to look at her. What was the apology for? "Pardon?" "I'm sorry, Albert." She closed the laptop and bit her lips. "Why are you saying sorry? Did anything happen?" Albert

Licas and Alexandra reached there almost immediately.Jacob lifted his hand a little to touch her head. Brushing fingers on her skin, he felt the warmth reached to his heart.

I couldn't believe it when I called him 'Brother Nathan'. I liked him so much. He was like my family. I believed him all my life.Fuck him!Fuck to that belief I had on him. He's a bloody betrayer.

My fucking belief led Elora to a danger. I am hopeless."Adele Wilson, you are such an idiot. Took so long to understand." He was laughing like a devil, which he really was. Xavier was his peopl

Adele's POV Lucas seemed tense. His hands were cold when I touched it. I couldn't understand what he was afraid of. But one thing for sure, he was guilty. The whole family was giving him cold shoulder from then except Sil. If it was not Albert, I would have misunderstood him too. He had nothing to do in all these. He was just forced to listen to the commands and he could only do that. "Amber…." I heard Sil's blurry voice suddenly. Maybe she woke up from sleep. She was never a late riser but maybe emotional breakdown and mental tiredness made her sleep until noon today. But what about her office? It's not a weekend. "Sil, did you get a day off?" I asked curiously when she started to get and leaned on the headboard. "She was not feeling good. So I just called Adam and informed she won't be in her office today. She needs rest. She

Albert was sitting there in a daze. He couldn't think straight. Sitting in the middle of the bed, he was lost in thoughts. Adele was feeling a little guilty. After all her cousin did so bad to him. He knew it still never complained. He loved her without any hesitation."Albert." She called and sat beside him. She patted his shoulder a little, "I'm sorry. I knew Jacob Smith was your father but I didn't inform you.""It's okay. He's scary. Good thing you didn't pick up a fight with him." Albert leaned on her shoulder. He was feeling vulnerable. He was broken inside."I'm sorry, I didn't know Lucas….." She sighed.Albert shook his head with her words, "Don't blame him. He had nothing to do. He was forced like me. But I'm wondering why he took all of the blame on his shoulder. Why didn't he protest?"
Darkness in our life Blame
"So dad was killed because of this?" Adele's voice trembled while asking this. She knew the answer, yet she thought to confirm. She wasted two years of her life because of Ramond Knight. Turns out Ramond Knight was just an advantage seeker. The real villain was Jacob Smith, yet he didn't have any intentions of doing that. How could she blame him? "Kind of. You know the story." Jacob Smith knew many lives were at stake because of him. Yet he was never practically involved with them. Wasn't it an irony? "So my dad died because of my father in law? I don't know how to accept that." She sighed. She didn't want to accept that. The little respect she had for Jacob was long gone. She was thinking how Albert was reacting to all these. He loved Mason Knight and Elijah Wilson a lot. Now they died willingly or unwillingly because of his real dad. Sometimes trying to protect him, sometimes without any reason. It must be
Darkness in our life Revelation
Albert's POV I was feeling like my whole world got shaken. My whole existence was a lie, a lie created by Jacob Smith and directed by Lucas Wilson. I was looking at Ms. Rivera all the time. What did she mean? I was her brother? I was her biological brother. Moreover I was the son of Jacob Smith. Jacob Smith!? He was known as the assistant of Old master Richardo, Adam and Ryan's grandfather. After their father's death, he took care of the family and businesses. But who knew he was the real owner of a Mafia organisation?! That means I'm the heir of this organisation? Things were really complicated. What about dad? My dad? Mason Knight? What about uncle Wilson? Did Robert know that? I couldn't think s

"Why did you marry me, Adam?" Those words suddenly fell from Elora's mouth. She couldn't help but ask after all these. At first she really thought it was just a novel type flash marriage. He needed to get rid of his grandfather's pampering words and that's why he wanted to marry her. But the first confusion came into her brain, when she found Ryan was his brother and Adele was his friend. If that was true then no way he never heard about her or saw her. Of course they had her pictures. But things became very complicated when he was Alexandra's subordinate, even Ryan included. All those things could only be coincidence, well she didn't believe it. There was something bigger than she thought. And she knew she was right. Because she found Jacob's text in his phone. Adam didn't reply. He had nothing to say. Things were not easy to explain and he knew Jacob would do that tonight. So it was good not to open his mo
