She studied the man as he approached her, his shoes clacking against the polished floor. He stood tall and imposing, with broad shoulders and chiseled features that would've been handsome if it wasn't for the dark glint in his eyes. He had a Breguet Classique wrist watch on him, which spoke of how rich he was. He wasn't a face Adira had seen before. Turning back to the waitress, Adira asked. "Has someone already paid for this?" Her voice echoed with disapproval. "Uh... not yet, ma'am. But he did ask me to reserve it for him." The waitress replied, a little nervous. At this time, the young man was already standing next to Adira. "So, he hasn't paid yet," Adira rose her brows. "That simply means the sandwich is free to be taken. So, I'm here to pay for it." "I'm afraid it doesn't work that way, Miss," the strange man scoffed. "You haven't paid either. "And since I made the reservation before you, I have every reason to believe it's mine." Adira pivots to face him. "To be frank,

Adira kept staring at the door, waiting impatiently for Jardine's entrance.When Bonnie called and informed her of her visitor, she quickly permitted her to let her in. And in no time, the door was opened with Jardine and Bonnie coming in. Bonnie bowed and left, leaving the two ladies in the room.For a moment, time seemed to freeze as the two ladies stared at each other, the silence demeaning.Adira remained reclined in her seat, her gaze cold and piercing, while Jardine clasped her hands around her bag as she stood like a client.Casting a quick glance around the office, she was impressed by its nature. It was no ordinary office, but the domain of one who demanded the best. And it puzzled her the more that Adira was the one in charge of it. How did she get so lucky?"Take a seat." Adira's icy voice came.Jardine couldn't bring herself to look her in the face. So, she lowered her gaze as she walked towards the desk and took a seat, feeling humiliated. If it wasn't for her grandfather

Jardine winced as Adira's words hit her heart like a ton of bricks. She felt her head spin, wishing she hadn't heard correctly.kneel before her? For what reason? What sort of humiliation was that?Her gaze waned as she looked at Adira who had a smug smile on her face. She felt her heart clench in her chest. Kneeling before her was going to be more than an humiliation. How could she even suggest such a thing?"I'm sorry, but..." she stared downward and scoffed. "Why would you even want me to do that?"Adira gave a subdued eye roll. "Why else? You want my forgiveness, right? So, you should be willing to do anything to get it. Now, kneel before me, and I might give it some consideration."Jardine fisted her hands beside her. Never did she expect life to take such a turn on her. Nineteen months ago, who was Adira to even stand in her presence and talk back at her? She was a nobody! How could she have the nerve to sit there and make such a ridiculous request?She was tempted to leave—just

Jardine's steps echoed like thunder as she barged into the family's mansion, her eyes narrowed with fury. The servants who noticed her fierce aura scattered like miles as she walked pass them.Getting to the living room, she found her mother who flinched in fear at her mood."Jardine! What the hell, is everything okay?" Rowena asked with a frightened look.She's never seen her daughter that way before."No. Everything isn't okay!" Jardine yelled."Where are they? Where are Grandpa and Grandma? They caused this! They asked me to go out there and get humiliated!" She looked around the room, and just like they had morphed out of her thoughts, her grandparents came scuttling down the stairs."Jardine? What's the yelling for? Why screaming like that? Her grandmother, Vienna, questionedJardine had to take a deep breath to avoid screaming at her grandmother as well."I went to Adira's office, like you all wanted. And guess what she did to me? That bitch forced me to kneel with a promise of

Adira was utterly confused because Nikolai rarely got visitors. Who could it be?The bell rang again. And slowly, Adira stood up to get it.She opened the door, and surprise crept into her face when she noticed it was Vesper, Nikolai's brother.She was amused. Since she started living with Nikolai, Vesper had never paid them a visit. Why was he there all of a sudden?She threw an uncomfortable stare at him, still holding the door open."H...Hi," she forced herself to say.His chiseled frame filled out the sleek, form-fitting black outfit he wore. His steely gaze and tight-lipped expression only added to his intimidating presence, making Adira feel a sense of unease and apprehension."Adira Ravenswood," he called out, ending it with a dark smile.Adira found it offensive that he was addressing her by her old surname. Was he there to goad her?"How're you doing?" He added."I'm, um, I'm fine," she blinked hard, trying to get herself together. She's been trying not to mess with Nikolai's

Adira and Vesper's eyes darted to the door to find Yvonne, holding some bags and looking fazed. She flinched at the sight before her and quickly ran in. "My goodness! What's going on here?! Sir Vesper!" She recoiled in horror, dropping the bags carelessly on the floor. Though, Adira wy still in tears, she felt so relieved that somebody was finally there to save her. Her short was almost ripped apart, and if Yvonne hadn't stepped in, it'd have probably gotten worst. Vesper groaned as he got off Adira. "You bitch!" He grabbed Yvonne's neck. "How dare you come in at such a wrong moment, huh?! How fucking dare you?!"Yvonne grabbed his hands as she gasped for air. And shortly, he let her go. He returned to his bottle of wine and gulped down a large quantity. "You ruined a good moment, you know that?" He grumped to Yvonne. Adira was still on the couch, dabbing her tears and supporting her torn shirt with her hands. Yvonne couldn't move and just stood in-between. Then, Vesper went c

Adira's heart stopped as she caught sight of Nikolai, standing before her in his impeccably tailored suit. He looked every bit as cold as he used to be, his chiseled features betraying no hint of emotion. His sharp gaze locked onto hers, holding her in a moment of silence that seemed to stretch on for an eternity. With winded breath, Adira watched as his eyes slowly lowered dropped to the floor, taking in a sharp shard of glass that was right there. Her legs wobbled. Oh, no! Yvonne must've missed it while clearing up the glasses! Her skin prickled with fear. Was he going to have any hint of it?"Good evening," she greeted quickly, lowering her head afterwards. Then, she turned around to leave. "Adira." His deep cold voice made her freeze. It was deep, almost guttural, and the coldness that emanated from it made her shiver. Her body went rigid as she heard her name being called out in that voice. For the first time since they got married, he had addressed her by her name. The we

Nikolai's face morphed into a mask of cold fury, his eyes blazing with anger. The thought of Vesper laying his hands on Adira hit him like a thunderbolt and made the air around him cackle with his emotions.How could he? How could he lay his hands on his Adira?He visualized him ripping off her shirt and making her scared. How dare he?His breathing was ragged, and his chest heaved with the depth of his emotions. Lowering his gaze to his desk, he asked in a low and dangerous voice: "Did he... succeed?""Not at all, sir! He stopped as soon as I stepped in. Thankfully, I arrived just in time. I promise, he didn't go far," Yvonne answered quickly. Then, in a swift move, Nikolai stood up, grabbed his car keys and stormed out of the room. Yvonne was frightened. Where was he going?She followed him out of the room but couldn't throw questions at him or run after him.Nikolai got out of the house and into one of his cars. His body guards ran after him. "Sir! Are you heading out?" They in

76Blood gushed from his head, he staggered and his entire body lost balance.Lyra took a step back, the blood-stained knife in her hand. And as soon as she did, the mighty Jagger slumped to the floor.Lyra watched with shaky breath as he writhed and gasped for air. Fearfully, she watched and could do nothing.His widened eyes looked at her, calling for help. Until finally, he stopped struggling. His eyes remained open, but she could tell they weren't alive anymore. He was...dead.The knife fell off her hand, and only then did she realize the gravity of what she had done. With her bare hands, she just killed her own father. She killed him!"No..." She muttered inaudibly, fear eating her up.Disgust crawled into her stomach, making her throw up instantly in the room. Tears spilled from her eyes as she dabbed her lips and looked at her father's corpse on the floor. How did she become this? How could she become this?"No!" She let out a painful cry. Her anger had gotten the best of her.

Lyra walked into the house and found Jagger there in the living room, having some apples. He had a knife with which he cut out the apple before taking it into his mouth. He seemed so happy, while she was there, mourning."Lyra." He called, his mouth full with a chunk of apple. "You didn't tell me you were coming."Lyra's eyes were sore and swollen. She fixed her gaze on him as she dropped her bag on the parting table in the room."How do you do it?" She asked in a low tone. "How do you manage to stay so happy when our biggest plan crashed a week ago? You didn't even bother to comfort me, neither did you seem worried that we had lost a lot of money. You didn't even try to come up with an alternative or something. It's so unlike...you."Jagger scoffed. He sliced out a piece of apple and threw it into his mouth before looking at her."Did you say an alternative? What was I supposed to do? Point a gun at the Kensingtons and threaten them to transfer their wealth to me? You really think th

Bellamy and her husband ran into Nikolai's room and gasped when they found him awake on the bed. When Na-ri had called and told them about it, they couldn't believe. But finally setting their eyes on him..."My dear son..." She whimpered as she went closer, holding his hand. "Good Lord! You're awake."Nikolai was still lying on the bed, and his face etched with concern when his parents came in alone."Nik, how're you feeling?" Mr. Vincent asked, going to stand at the edge of the bed.Nikolai's eyes were fixed on the door, and when he didn't see who he was expecting, he looked at his parents."Where's she? Why isn't she here?" He asked feebly.Bellamy shared a glance with Na-ri. Na-ri had also told them over the phone that he was asking for Adira.Wearing a smile, Bellamy caresssed his hand."Son, you just woke up after a long time. I believe you need as much rest as you can get. Stop worrying about anyone and just...""Where's she?!" He half-yelled. It was now becoming obvious that so

Adira found it difficult believing Bellamy's words. Was she for real? How could this woman have the guts to say this to her face?She was hurt, she wouldn't deny; hurt that Nikolai had been processing their divorce. Of course, he told her about it. But now, it was just too difficult to believe.She sniffed as an uncontrolled tear dropped to her cheek. Looking up at Bellamy, she found no emotions on the woman's face. When did the woman change so much? She used to love her a lot.She looked at the paper again before pushing it away, towards Bellamy."I'm not signing it." She said in a hardened tone.Bellamy's brows furrowed in surprise. She never expected that rigidity from Adira."Are you being serious?" She scoffed. "Do you have any idea what I'm offering you? If you agree to sign these documents, I'll make sure we drop the charges against you and you can be out of jail. You'll be free."The temptation of the offer lingered on Adira's mind. Being in here for the past one week had not

It's been a week now.Vesper seemed to be the one benefitting more from the death of Mr. Thatcher as he felt there was no will to share. Due to Nikolai's absence, his position at the company had gotten pretty high. It was all he's ever wished for.His grandfather had been buried already, but the air at home was always tinged with sadness. He even had to move out of the mansion as he got tired of the unending gloom.He just finished from a meeting and was walking out with his assistant when a call came into his phone. It was Kalina again. He'd lost count of the number of times she had called him for the day, and it was becoming annoying already.Grudgingly, he answered the call."Finally! Someone decided to take my call." She exclaimed, her voice echoing with anger. "What is going on, Vesper? You have been ignoring me for ages now.""I was in a meeting, okay? And you were interrupting." His reply was peeved.Kalina scoffed, like she couldn't believe it. "Seriously? Now, I'm being a pes

Lyra ran into her father's house and fell onto the couch immediately, crying her eyes out. Jared was there as well, but neither of them said a word to Lyra as she wept profusely."All I needed was one more day." She whimpered, her face covered in her palms. "The will was to be ready today, and he'd have signed it already. My life would've been all better by now."Jagger had a glass of wine with him, and he sipped from time to time, saying nothing to his hurting daughter."Lyra, come on, it's enough." Jared rolled her eyes, tired of her whinging already."I'm also angry that the plan was ruined at the last minute, but you shouldn't kill yourself over it. With the rate at which you've been crying, you might actually fall sick."Lyra lifted her face from her palms to look at him."You think I'm worried about being sick right now? Do you have any idea what I've planned? How much that money was supposed to help me?" She pointed a hand to her chest."My life is ruined, Jared! But of course,

Adira let out a terrifying scream immediately, her eyes nearly bulging out of her sockets. The bag she held slipped to the floor, and her heart pounded repeatedly against her ribcage. She was too frightened to move and simply watched as blood gushed from his head. It didn't take long before people rushed out, drawn by her scream. First,it was Finn and his wife, followed by Vesper and Kalina. They all expressed great shock at the sight in front of them. "Grandpa!" Finn and Vesper ran to his unconscious body. His wheelchair had fallen along with him and was beside his body on the floor. From every indication, someone pushed him. Finn and Vesper were trying to get him from the floor when Bellamy came out. She gasped at the sight she found. "What the hell happened here? What happened to him?!" Her eyes were already sore. Nobody could say anything and instead, focused on getting the old man from the floor. Adira's heart raced heavily. She watched with bated breath as Finn and Vesper

Vesper walked back to her, a scrowl on his face."What nonsense are you spewing, Adira?"He asked hoarsely. "From what Na-ri said, you're the reason he got drunk and drove out in that state. So, why the fúck are you trying to point accusing fingers at me?"Adira rose to her feet, still maintaining a calm look."You shouldn't get so worked up. I'm just asking because, you seem to be the only one benefitting from all this.""Well, I didn't do it. So, watch your words." He glared at her and left.Adira fell back to her seat, finally letting her weakness shadow her features. Nikolai's condition was making her lose her mind. She knew Vesper had nothing to do with the accident, she was just upset that he was benefitting from it.****†****†****†Jared was in a bad mood and decided to stay home for the day. He was in his room when his phone started off beside him. Glancing at the screen, he discovered it was his father.He ignored it at first, not wanting to speak with the man. But he called a

68Nikolai's condition was very critical - the doctor said. They've done all they could for him at the moment, but he was still not regaining consciousness.Adira got to learn that the accident was so bad, and it was only by a miracle he had been able to come out of the car alive. This got her even more frightened. What would have happened if he wasn't lucky? How would she be able to live with herself, knowing she caused his death? Even if it was not entirely her fault, still it started with her.The following morning, most of the family members had to leave to take care of other things. Bellamy didn't want to go, but she was convinced by her husband that she needed a bath and a change of clothes.As for Adira, she couldn't go.When she had the chance to be alone with him, she went into the room and a tear dropped to her cheek. Her Nikolai wasn't looking any better.He had an oxygen pipe beneath his nose, had a big bandage wrapped around his head, his leg was placed on support and a d
