Adele was looking at Adam for a long time. She was so mad that didn't want to talk to him. Adam knew she had understood everything, still wanted to hear it from his mouth.
"Adele!! Say something. You're scaring me." He smiled awkwardly when received a death glare from her.
"Since when do you know?" That was the first question she asked.
"Well, that's complicated. Maybe I knew it long ago. When I was a child, I heard from dad that Jacob's wife was dead because of some mafia war. He was a mafia king of California. He kept his two children away from him to get rid of their life risks. He didn't even keep them together to avoid any suspicion, still he always watched over them. My dad was his old friend who helped him to hide himself when the FBI was after him. And af
Adele was leaning against the sofa lazily. Tiredness and confusion was flashing from her eyes. She looked distressed and depressed, lost somewhere in her dream world, and didn't even notice Albert was standing there for a long time. He was trying to find out what she was thinking about. Actually she had a lot to think about, about her family, about David, about Alexandra, her own business and so on. But what Albert didn't assume, she was thinking about his identities. "Ade! Are you okay?" He sat beside her and softly rubbed her hair. In response, she only nuzzled towards him more and breathed calmly. "I'm okay. Just thinking about a lot of things." She was afraid what would happen when Albert would know Elijah Wilson knew about his identity. His own family was not his own but he was the son of Jacob Smith, the real boss of his current mafia gang. "Like….?" Albert asked c
"Brother Rob, what do you think you are going to do? I mean we need to tell him about it. We can't just let him find it first. That will not end well then." Adele was thinking about a way out. The thing she was waiting for was to know about the connection of her dad. But she understood only the revelation could give her answers. Maybe Lucas also didn't know the connection himself. "I don't even know who his real parents are. Without that I don't think we can make sure of his safety. My mind is not approving." Robert was always a sophisticated person. He liked to think logically. But some things were never about logic. They worked according to emotions. And Albert was another name of his emotions. He loved him no matter whether they were biological siblings or not. At least, their relationship was beyond any boundaries. Maybe all of their feelings are unspoken, because they didn't need to open up in front of themselves. They were transparen
Adele's POV"Nathan Lan!!!" I was feeling like killing him. He gave me more than two hundred files to sign in just one hour. Did he think my hand was a machine to sign without any hesitation? And here he goes, smoking cigarettes in the smoking zone leaving me all behind.But shouting at him would never make my job easy. So I again gave attention to the files. I could sign those without any problem as I was sure he managed everything with efficiency. But it was my responsibility to recheck. In case of any problem.When I was busy checking those files, I noticed the phone he left on the table suddenly rang. I was sure the number was in this country. But I never had any interest in meddling in anyone's privacy. Though I didn't want to peek, my eyes went to that again and again.Not my fault!"Nathan, y
Ryan was fit in his tailored shirt and trousers. Though they were casuals, he looked deadly hot in them. Hairs brushed at a side, spiked, hands kept in the pocket he walked all the way with confidence. After walking for more than ten minutes, he found Eva was waiting for him on the bridge. She was always punctual and that's what Ryan loved about her. "You flied all the way to meet me?" He was really happy about that yet he didn't want her to stay here, at least not at the moment. The city was now having a calm. But the storm was in the way, it would destroy so much. Powers would clash and death would be the reward. "Why do you look so gloomy? Aren't you happy to meet me?" Eva pouted, "You are still a little rabbit." He wanted to slap her forehead with her palm. "I'm not a rabbit. Abd whatever, just leave this city. It's not so good to stay here. And you don't
Fuck! Ryan cursed loudly. He was exactly afraid of this and that happened. He turned his head towards Elora and both of them nodded in understanding. In a blink of eyes, Elora took out a revolver from the back of the sofa and Ryan found it at the telephone stand. As he was a regular visitor to Adam's House, he had the idea where things could be. Since they were cops, they needed to show the estimate of their bullets. So it was good to use unlisted ones, they were safe. Eva was looking at them with confusion. Maybe she didn't expect to see anything like this. It was beyond her expectations. She looked at Ryan with wonder. She knew he was a cop and he needed to fight against bad people but never assumed things were so hard. Now she understood why he was pestering her to return. Before Eva could even react, she was pulled behind the couch and the firing session started. Bot
Adele's POV "Adele!" I noticed Mariah was looking paler than before. I know she needed to work harder because of my absence. But I had no other options. One after another attack was chasing me. I didn't get time to come here. "How are you? How have you been? Do you know how much I tried to find you? But you vanished just like magic." I found her concerned tone and eyes moist. She hugged me so tightly that I could feel the same sense of warmth. "I'm okay. Just a little accident happened back then." I smiled bitterly not knowing how to explain all these. I've never told her about my family background nor my marital status. She just knew nothing about me. "Are you hurt? Was it serious?" She started to panic. I sighed in my mind. Long time anyone except my family cared for me like this. This meant so much to me.
"Mariah, I'm telling this for your good. Please don't come to the cafe. If you want you can have a job in my company, I will manage the car, house everything for you. But just don't come here like this." Albert's words confused her. She didn't know why he was requesting so weirdly. He wanted to get her a job instead of this cafe! Was he serious?Mariah looked at Adele and asked about the situation through her eyes. Adele knew why Albert wanted all these. He was afraid of her life risks. She has been with Adele for two months and almost everyone knew Adele had soft corners for her. So he didn't want to take any chances. He just wanted to keep everything safe"And why are you trying to stop me from coming here?" Mariah didn't believe Albert. He was the man she hated most. He gave her a pile of threats and warnings for this cafe."Mariah, I'm not that bad either." Albert smiled bitt
"Are you okay? You were hurt. Why did you agree to go car racing?" Lucas was concerned about Alexandra's health. But he was more concerned about the truth of their relationship. It was nothing to digest in seconds. Jacob looked at Lucas with a smirk. That man was concerned about his wife over his father in law. Good! "She was the one to propose about car racing. Don't scold me." Jacob's look was playful yet it contained a stern and waring tone in the depth. Lucas didn't know whether to laugh or cry but for sure he needed to pay for it later. "Come on, Lucas! I'm okay." She wanted to assure him. "Talk less. Your cheeks are not fully recovered." He rolled his eyes. Jacob was looking at the couple with an affec
