Adair’s Point of View
By the time I make it back home it's 10:00pm and all I want to do is sleep. Announcing our divorce today definitely caught the attention of a lot of people. I’ve been bombarded with phone calls all day that I had to turn my phone off, get Dorias to turn her phone off, and get my PA to turn his phone off, because when I didn’t pick up people would start calling them and it was just getting fucken ridiculous.
It’s a damn divorce why do people even care.
Stripping off my clothes I get into the shower letting the hot water relax my tensed body. I'm only allowed a couple minutes of relaxation before the doorbell rings.
Who the hell can that be at this time.
“Ugh.” I groan in anger. All I want is just to take a fucken hot shower and go to sleep.
Getting out of the shower, I wrap a towel around my waist having no time to wipe myself dry as I take a lo

Mr. Rollins asked me if I wanted to take the day off today, and without a second thought I said yes. Apparently, Adair had called him and told him how my smashed windows was related to the case and that he’ll be setting up new and top notch security around me at all times.From what he said last night I think I’ll be getting elite bodyguards or ones that I can probably see this time.I’m pretty sure that Adair told Mr. Rollins to give me the day off, and I’m thankful because I really didn’t want to leave my mom alone today.I could have asked Mr. Rollins myself but me being a workaholic, I would never take a sick day unless I’m actually sick.Instead of working from home like I usually do on my sick days, I decide that I really need a breather from all these cases. It’s a beautiful day outside and I decide to take my mom to the park for a picnic.“Remember when you would go down the slides and you wou

As soon as we exit out of the elevator, there stand two large muscular men on opposite sides of our door. Dressed in big black heavy clothes, a vest, and have an ear piece going down the side of their neck, I notice that they also carry a gun in the holster that rests on their waist.They look exactly like the three guys we saw in the lobby before coming up here.My mom turns her head towards me with a look of curiosity written all over her face, and I know why their here. There the bodyguards that Adair hired for us.Walking to the front door in silence we stand in front of the tall men and I nod at both of them to say hi. They nod back and one of them gives me a small smile.I take this opportunity to introduce myself and my mom so we can be familiar with each other and also so they don’t mistaken us for the wrong people.“I’m Sarah Carter, and this is my mom Elizabeth Carter. Thank you for being here.” I sm

Before leaving, Adair briefed me about my bodyguards. I will always have two in front of my door, three downstairs in the lobby, one to drive me around everywhere, and a couple at work.When ever my mom would need to go out, Andrew or Cole will accompany her and someone will replace them in front of my door. He gave me the phone numbers of all the body guards and I made sure to save them according to their position aside from Andrew and Cole.I’ll remember their names.When I asked him what happened to the old guards, he said there was a lot of yelling, threatening, and firing involved but more of the threatening part.My mom and I spend the rest of the evening watching a movie. As the movie plays, I'm having trouble concentrating, because I’m itching to call my aunt and ask her about this whole vacation thing. I honestly don’t know how long this whole case will run, but I can at least ask her to have my mom over for at least two months.

I spend the next two days helping my mom pack for her flight which leaves for tomorrow. When the airline found out that Elizabeth Carter was my mom, which I definitely think my aunt mentioned it, they prioritized her and gave her a ticket for the earliest flight possible.It definitely has to do with my name being attached to the Adair case. This time I’m glad I could get a perk.I called Adair right after my phone call with Aunt Meg and told him the whole thing. He said that I can chose either Cole or Andrew to accompany my mom to Canada, and if I want more than to choose anyone else I would like. I think one bodyguard would be enough especially since Aunt Meg is a force to be reckoned with herself.Upon deciding, my mom said she wanted to go with Cole, because she liked his eyes. I died laughing at that, because that’s an odd way to decide who to come with you.“I don’t understand why you can’t come Sarah.&rdquo

Adair’s Point of ViewThe morning is spent at sitting in a boring business meeting with people pitching ideas about our next project based on technology, health care, and interaction and quite frankly everything they had to say sucked like hell.Relieved, I let out a deep breath and close my eyes as the last presentation finally comes to an end.“We will continue to go through the proposals and short list some more people. Ms. Lodhi will be in contact with those who move forward. You may leave now.” I say in a bored tone telling everyone to get the hell out now.There will be no short list because no one made it to the short list.As soon as everyone leaves, Ms. Lodhi and I are left alone to discuss these bland and juvenile proposals.“What do you think Mr. Adair?” Ms. Lodhi asks stapling the one page summaries of proposals together.“What I think is that they w

Adair called me and filled me in with the whole Miller situation and to say the least, I was very dissapointed. I really did believe that once Miller came back from his vacation that he could tell us something about the masked man. Now, just like Adair, I'm thinking he had a hand in helping the masked man deliever those threats to me, otherwise why else would he end his phone contract.With Adair working on finding Miller's whereabouts, the faster we find Miller the sooner we’ll find out whose sending me all these threats and in solving the murder case of Anna's father.I decide to stay over at Aaliyah’s house for the weekend because I was starting to get lonely and the house just seems weird without my mom. I could have invited her to my place, but it’s much safer if I went over to her place.Andrew came along with me, because once Adair found out that I was staying over at Aaliyah's for the weekend he made sure to let Andrew know

I end up waking up early because I couldn’t go back to sleep after last night. Instead of tossing and turning in my bed, I decide to just get the day started and make myself something to eat.Taking my plate of breakfast, I sit in the living room and watch some morning news.Adair’s case is still trending and it’s almost been two weeks. Usually, within one or two days the news station would change its headline to the next big thing that has happened in the city, but for the first this hasn't been the case. Adair really does have that powerful effect on the media and on the rest of the world.Speaking of Adair, a sound of a ding grabs my attention and I see that a message has popped up on the screen of my phone. It's from him. Opening the text, I wonder why he's awake at 6:30am in the morning on a Saturday.Adair: Ms. Carter it’s about Greg’s transactions and the other transactions. Please meet me at my office anytime toda

I make my up to Aaliyah’s dark green apartment door, and notice that Andrew isn’t where I last saw him. I do have the key to her house, but unlike last night, there's no way that I'm walking in on them again.I knock loudly on the door just to scare them and to make sure to let them know that somone is at the door. It works because a deep breathing Aaliyah opens the door with her hand clutching her chest.“Sarah, geez I thought this was a raid or something!” She says breathlessly.I walk inside with a smug smile and catch Andrew sitting at the island.“I just wanted to make sure you knew that it was me.” I laugh evilly. “Hey Andrew!”“Hi Ms. Carter. How were your errands?” He asks taking a sip from his coffee.His coffee cup reminds of when Adair took a sip of his own coffee, and my body shivers again as I remember the sound that escaped his lips.I'm a mess.
