A sudden proposal

2024-10-29 19:42:56"I want to ask you something. " Neon Parker sat opposite to Adam Ricardo while looking at him attentively.
"What?" Adam had a lot of works. He didn't want to waste time on him.
"Who are you? I was forced by Jacob Smith to come here. And I know you did it. What's your connection with Jacob Smith?" Neon was seriously curious to know. Jacob Smith was the heir of Smith family which had properties over billions overseas. Smith family chose to rule in Asia as they own the biggest oil businesses of Middle East. A poor officer like Adam Ricardo told and he forced him to come here didn't really give a proper calculation.
"Jacob Smith? Who is he?" Adam pretended to be surprised. He didn't want to say anything about their connections. He wouldn't have used it if it was not for Adele and their friendship.
"Don't tell me you don't know him." Neon Parker growled. As if Adam cared!

"I was born in the house as a daughter. But look I had to return as a daughter in law. I had to become the Queen where I was the Princess. How are you dad? And how is mom? Your Amber fulfilled her promise dad, she didn't kill anyone. Don't be sad mom, doesn't matter whether you Amber is still a princess or not, she's still a warrior." Adele stood in front her parent's couple picture and talked to the them with all of her heart. She didn't think the house didn't even change a bit. It was like before, still same as her childhood memories."Excuse me?" The cold tired voice called from behind. Ramond Knight was informed that a girl came to meet him. When he came out, she was looking at Elijah Wilson and his wife's photo even without blinking.Adele turned around to face him. There was fire in her eyes, anger and hatred in heart but a smile on her lips. She looked at him from top to bottom and gave a small nod, "Mr. Ramond Knight?" Her voice was too much calm."Do I

Adele's POV "Ade!" "Ade!" I heard a little portion of Albert's voice. When I opened my eyes slowly, the environment seemed unfamiliar. So I snapped my eyes and started to sit. Albert patted my shoulder with care and said, "Calm down! It's Robert's house. You have been here before." I looked at him with all of my tiredness. He gave me a small smile, "That's my room which I never used. Actually last night it was nearer. So I took you here. Your condition was not well." He explained the thing and helped me to lean on the headboard. "You okay?" He asked. I nodded. I was feeling really good now. The thing happened last night was really unpredictable. But I didn't feel anything like that now. I was feeling too fresh as if it never happened. "Hungry?" He asked again. I wanted to refuse but he didn't give me a chance. He picked me on his shoulder and went downstairs. "Put me down! I can walk!" I wa

Knight Enterprises "What?!! El came to LA? And you are telling me now? How could you forget?" Adele was feeling like pulling Haunter's hair. Elora was being stubborn and he took her here. He shouldn't have done that. He city was full of danger. "Because of you. Did you ever think how much drama you created in just one day? I couldn't even see her yesterday. I don't know what's he doing." He frowned remembering Elora was too reckless and impulsive. She liked to take decisions instantly not thinking about results. Adele took a deep breath and sat on a chair. She didn't know how to handle that childish girl. Albert was looking at them with confusion. He understood it was Elora who snorted at him that day. Now he knew why couldn't he find any words to scold her. Her aura was similar to her mom. He felt that somewhere. "But I found those who attacked you yesterday and they are now in torture room. I need to look after them. So I'm get going." H
Darkness in our life A help asked for
"Thanks Adam." Adele smiled politely. She knew he had been such a great help. If he was not there, she wouldn't have finished the case so soon without using any influence. So without thinking anything more, she hugged him tightly.They already took Ramond Knight to police station and Albert dismissed the meeting. Adam instructed his subordinates to treat Ramond Knight well and stayed here to have a talk with Adele.Standing a little behind, Albert was glaring at the friends and Ryan was having a smirk mentally. That poor assistant was too afraid to show his real emotions. He knew his ruthless boss would make him less from the world then."Ade! Come on! You're being too emotional." Adam patted her head and broke the hug. He knew she was feeling vulnerable. Those pains, hatred and tears of 14 years were yet to get released."Thanks for coming here to help me." She wiped her moist eyes and smiled at him.Adam instantly raised an eyebrow. D

"Have you done those files I've given to you?" Ryan asked Eva who was busy in satring at Adele. She was curious what Adele was doing. She hardly showed up at office, even all time acted unmindful. Even today she suddenly rushed with her that poor ragged dressed friend to somewhere. After returning she was just looking outside. "Ms. Flores?" Ryan again called Eva to gain her attention. Flinching slightly, she turned her head. As Adele was busy in something else, Albert asked Eva to complete her works and instructed Ryan to help her. So for the past few days, they had been working together. "Assistant Ryan, do you know what happened to Adele?" She asked curiously. Rose, Blake and Noah also turned their head amusing how she gathered courage to be very frank with boss's assistant. "That doesn't concern your job, right?" Ryan asked coldly not knowing to get scolded by Albert. He took a deep breath, "Don't be curious in other's life. Give me those
Darkness in our life She's the CEO
"Aaaahhh!!!" With the sudden scream, Adam flinched with fear. He didn't know what happened so shocking to make her scream like that. "Why are you shouting?!" He asked with a huff keeping his hands on his ears. That girl would let him go dumb so easily. Her screams were louder than shooting sounds sometimes. "Why are you here?" She asked keeping her hands on heart. She got scared seeing him here. He didn't come home after the marriage. She thought he ran away being afraid of her. "That's my house." Adam said with a frown. Did she forget that in just one day? "Where you hardly come." She smirked making his sentence complete. The moment she entered here, he was merely a visitor. Adam gritted his teeth but sighed a little, "Sorry. I couldn't come yesterday." He knew she deserved an apology. Keeping a newly wedded wife wait and neglected was never something good. And that's the reason he didn't want to marry. He never get time t

"Noo!!!" A young man screamed with the hard slap of whip on his stomach. He was all tied on hands, legs, neck and waist. He tried to move but his body didn't even could get any sense. "You are still closing your mouth shut!!" Adam growled loudly which made him afraid. He had lost all powers to talk yet behaving stubborn to give any information about the child kidnapping gang. He was one of the kidnappers. For sure he had some big bosses. Another whip landed on his stomach. He cried in pain. Whip! "Aaah!!" Whip!! Whip!!! "Lea.....ve... me....." Whip!!! Whip!!! Whip!!!!! Each time it was getting harder and harder. "No!" "Please!" Adam was getting frustrated. That petty man had too much tolerance. He groaned while pulling his ears. But a sudden voice made him dazed. "Stop it, Adam!" A stern, cold, domineering and dominating voice echoed loudly in the room. The female voice had top much aura to turn into a p

Fuck!"Albert cursed keeping his hands on ears. He hurriedly turned the motorbike and went almost outside of the gate of Haunter's house. Hurriedly he called Xavier to bring soundproof headphones which were specialised for mafia gang leaders to use while sound torturing. It would prevent those high sounds from entering their ears.Within then minutes, Xavier came with required things. He knew why Albert asked for his. To ensure his safety, he also brought one for himself. They again went to Haunter's house from where those high volume sounds were coming from. At first the house seemed empty. But Albert knew he was in underground. When along with Xavier he reached there, Haunter was smirking like a devil."Haunter!" Albert called but his voice could merely hear.There's a man all tied in a wooden bed. In front of his ears, high volumed scary sounds were playing to torture. His screams and cries could

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

"Are you okay?" Alexandra asked in a low voice. Jacob got injured because of escaping from the car. He was taken to the hospital by them. 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. It was his daughter whom he never got close to him. He loved her but never could say that. Unknowingly a drop of tear fell from his eyes. He didn't cry for a long time. Only he cried in front of his wife. She was gone taking all of his tears away. Now there came his children, who could make him emotional.He nodded a little with a small smile. He was really happy. He got his family back, with him. They even saved him. No matter how much they hated him, they still had a soft corner for him."Are you angry with me?" He asked in a shaky voice. He knew the answer.

Adele's POV"Nathan Lan? Or should I say Alessandro Colombo?" I looked into his eyes. It was giving me devilish pleasure seeing him tied up helpless, at our mercy. 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. He betrayed my emotions. I was a freakin fool to believe him. Suddenly I found I caused a lot of trouble in my family. My stubbornness just gave them a hard time. 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
