A suspicious Haunter

2024-10-29 19:42:56"You wanted to meet me?" Adele asked curiously at Albert who was smoking in front of the French window.
He just hummed. He didn't turn neither said anything. Maybe he was waiting for Ryan to go out. And of course that poor boy understood. He stormed out of the room to give his boss privacy.
"You gave a recommendation letter and found a CEO husband didn't mean you could take the job as granted. I didn't want my company to violate rules and regulations. The people who was irregular to the office, was fired in an instant. Seems like I have gave you too much freedom in work." Albert snorted in a cold tone. He knew again it was his jealously speaking. But he couldn't help. He felt jealous seeing some other men holding her hands.
Adele rolled her eyes at him. Jealously overloaded! Didn't she explain Adam's relationship with her? What to do now? For God's sake, she never wanted this kind of life. She never wanted anyone to dominate her and no one dared. She was n

"Adele Wilson, interesting!" Sophia curved her lips in amusement. Her voice was loud enough to grab Albert's attention. He raised his head from the file to look at her questioningly. "She has a really poor friend." She smirked and pointed at Adam's picture. She bumped into Adam with an intention. She tried to know more about his and Adele's relationship. But that spoilt girl....arghh....hurt her ego too much to stay there. Albert looked at her coldly. His fierce eyes were giving her a look saying don't drag her into the dirty game look which made Sophia's smirk bigger. But she shrugged her shoulders, "Seems like she is into too much male friends. How come she went to meet haunter? What's the relation with him?" She faked her thinking and turned to her assistant, "Find if she's any of hunter's girlfriend or something. If yes, we can arrange her to please him." Xavier looked at her with disdain. He knew Sophia had a crush on his boss. He was really afraid
Darkness in our life A text from lawyer
Albert's POV "Tell me box number of haunter. " I was in rush as he didn't want Adele in trouble. Though she was a daring girl, I didn't want to take chance with Haunter. After all he was another name of devil. The recipient looked at me with confusion. But as I was Albert Knight, the ruler of LA, she didn't dare to question. She informed me every details even Adele was in the private box almost for half an hour. Half an hour was not a little time that made Albert more tensed. I rushed all the way to see her safe. I didn't care about the organisation rules anymore. If haunter dared to touch her, I would be torn into pieces by his bare hands. When I opened the door with a bang, my jaw dropped. I was dazed even blinked my eyes to get the situation. Xavier standing a little behind from me was stunned. He was seriously getting useless day by day. I think Adele was right. Did he miss some details of this girl? "Give it to me....." Adele's
Darkness in our life Finding the mastermind
Knight Enterprises Meeting Room "What do you want now?" Albert asked coldly to the person sitting opposite to him. He was a man in his early 40's who had 20% share of Knight Enterprises. He was Mason Knight's younger brother who had worked for Elijah Wilson as long as DEINZ was available. "Why did you plan to transfer 50% of it's share to your wife? Didn't you find her not to lose those?" He scoffed at him as he didn't like the idea. He never wanted to lose his control on the company. "My shares, my wish. Anything that concerns you?" Albert had some hatred for his uncle since childhood. He never opened up about that but also never talked to him peacefully. But after his father's death, he found his uncle never cared for them. He just came to Knight Enterprises to get his brother's shares though Mason Knight already transferred it to Albert. "My brother didn't choose the right person for his properties. If he was alive,
Darkness in our life A touch of dad
Adele's POVKnight!Ramond Knight?The moment I heard Knight, my heart skipped a beat. That was something I suspected even after meeting Albert. But maybe I never wanted it to be true. I knew Mason Knight was the closest to my dad which made me think about him again and again. Moreover he knew my identity and forced his son in marrying me. Though my brain said he could be, my heart replied no. But little knew he would have a younger brother who would be the mastermind of my parent's murder."Adele!!!" I heard Nathan's yelling. He was looking at me with his so called furicious eyes which would turn into crystal clear puppy eyes after getting scolded by me."What?" I scoffed at him."You are not gonna charge Neon Parker? For the past few days, I've been trying hard to gathers proofs against it. Suddenly you came and said you needed all those. I gave you and now you are
Darkness in our life A sudden proposal
"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
Darkness in our life Albert knew it
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
Darkness in our life An arrest warrant
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 End of the story
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.

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
Darkness in our life Family dinner
"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
