"And you think I care about it too much? If I did that, Lucas would have never let me go out of San Francisco. None of us give a damn to his businesses. My poor cousin! He needs to do everything by himself. Believe me we sometimes become a real pain in ass." Elora knew Nathan had reasons to complain but she didn't want anyone bad mouthing about Adele in front of her.
Nathan was amused by her behaviour. Seemed like the family was really hard to get. They always work according to their wishes. With a devilish smirk, Nathan said, "I heard you had a flash marriage with Adam Richardo. Rich man!"

Elora woke up with a blurry vision. Though her head was not heavy or something, she felt a little numb. She looked at the ceiling of the room and found it familiar. Wasn't it her and Adam's bedroom? She was with Nathan, the last thing she could recall. Nathan was evil, he tried to trick them. He pushed something on her neck. Unknowingly her hands tried to reach her neck only when she found two arms wrapped around her body, tightly. She tried to move but those arms tightened around her. Much to her surprise, she wore nothing, just nothing. She was naked under the duvet. She tried to move again. "Stop moving. Sleep!" She heard Adam's husky and deep voice. She tried to understand the situation. Both of them were under the duvet, bare bodies touching, he held her like this. Her head was spinning with the thought. "Will you stop mov
Darkness in our life Sudden change
Andrew was on his way to court. Those proofs he collected against David Hall was more than enough to Bury him behind the bars, forever. The things he did couldn't lead him to the death sentence but of course becoming a lifetime prisoner was worse than death. But he had one regret, he couldn't make him pay for what he did to his family. He had to trap him with Adele's case. As the case was reopened and witnesses were dug out by Adele, even Adam and Alexandra were helping her, it was easy for Andrew to catch David with this case. If he wanted to push his personal reason that could take more years maybe. After all those incidents were really old and cops already forgot those cases. Not that he didn't try. He put many things together. He brought up the matter how his father's company had been set up, how he led him to suicide. But it
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
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

"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

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.

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?"

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 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
