"He has refused to say anything. The rest of them got away and the second one we caught put a bullet in his head". " How do we know who sent him if he's refusing to say anything? Maybe you have not been doing a good job of torturing the information out of him, Owen". Lucas said as he dropped into the chair close to Adrian's. " I've been doing my job boss but this one is a tough nut to crack". Owen said, his eyes drifting from Lucas to Adrian. "We want answers not complaints. Many could have died". Nicole said from where he was standing behind Adrian. " You think I don't know?". Owen frowned at Nicole " maybe you should take over then we'll see how much time you can use to prey out the necessary information". Just as Nicole was about to make a comeback which Adrian knew would lead to the two men arguing, he raised his hand to stop them. "He had the tattoo of FF so we already know he's from the new organization. What I want to know is who his boss is and their loca
"Boss, I think you need to check this out". Adrian was about to drop his phone when a new message popped in with a video attached to it. He clicked on it and within some seconds of watching it, his eye flicked to the woman that was lying on his sofa. "Mia". He called. "Hmm". She answered without sitting up. "Help me take this file and deliver it to the HR office". He tapped the files on his desk with his finger. Mia sat up quickly and gave him a strange look, "you are not commanding me to do it?". Adrian scowled at her words, " take this file and deliver it to the HR office". He rephrased his words. One minute they were in harmony and then the next, she was giving biting remarks to infuriate him. Mia stood up and approached his desk, "now this is the Mr Osiander I know" The scowl deepened, "shut up and do what I asked"."You are not asking, you are commanding". She gathered the files in her hands. " Where is the office?". "On the floor directly below ours"
On the twenty first floor of the Brown entertainment company. Rose was sitting on her office chair with a deep frown etched on her face as she signed and stamped documents after documents. Since she took over the company from her father six months ago, she had been trying to mold the company to her own way. It had been working so far but it wasn't as easy as she thought. It required her to work over time and sometimes she ended up sleeping in the office. Thanks to God that her father was kind enough to build a small bedroom inside her office. She would have given up after a week of working but that was not like her. She has always loved being on top and in power. If she had given up, her father would have immediately passed the company over to her cousin sister who was the vice president. She and her cousin sister have always been at loggerheads from their childhood days. She would die before she allowed her cousin's sister to take over what is rightfully hers. She knew
"No" Mia, who was about to walk out of the company, paused and whirled around to face Amelia in surprise. "What do you mean by no?" "Let's just have lunch here with everyone" Amelia tried to grab Mia's hand. Mia moved her hand behind her, "hey, I'm not going to disappear again. Don't worry". Mia tried to reassure her but Amelia was having none of it. She was shaking her head negatively as she stood her ground. Mia sighed before coming to stand in front of Amelia. "That day was meant to happen and it was no one's fault. Today is different." "No". Amelia replied stubbornly with a haughty toss of her head. "Why don't we go to the same place with other people?" When Amelia looked like she was going to day no, Mia added, "I won't go to the restroom I promise." Amelia continues to hesitate for a while as she mulled over Mia's words. No one could come and grab Mia in the middle of the crowd and she would be there too so she nodded. The both of them followed Am
Mia's throat went dry at Adrian's words. She did not know the content of the message he received but his question was enough to enlighten her. He knows. She was struggling to breath, not in a sensual way but because she was afraid as he had her pressed to the wall. He also grabbed her elbow with a bruising grip. "Boss". The guard who told Adrian about the bug called him. Adrian turned around and snarled at the man, "what?".The man flinched back at Adrian's tone. "The person, whosoever they are, would be tracking us right now. Should we prepare to change location?". Adrian looked around at his men. Their eyes were on him as they were waiting for his instructions. He knew that they were prepared to fight to death with him. Not only had they been trained for battle, many of them were indebted to him as he has helped them one way or the other. He had never been the one to run away from fights and he was not prepared to now. He opened his mouth to tell them to get ready to f
It's been three days since she refused to answer Adrian's question. He had gotten so angry and nearly choked the life out of her but in the end he didn't kill her. Instead he dragged her here where she had been tortured emotionally since then. She would have broken down if she had not been through much worse but then, one could never get used to being like this. Her days were spent trying to cover her ears from the screams of pain from the man that was being torture in front of her and her night was spent trying hard not to dream of the man's face or hear his painful screams. It was impossible. She kept drifting in and out of sleep because of her old nightmare and the new ones coming together in her head. Her head was aching and she felt sick to her bones. She had wronged him. That much she knew as she had seen the pain in his eyes and the hurt when he had brought her over here and watched her being strapped to a chair. His jaw and hands were clenched as he instructed the
"Gideon is here”. His men downstairs had alerted him of it, and any moment from now he knew that the man would be here. It was a surprise that a man who had been hiding from him for years would come out because of a woman. He knew that it was because of Mia that Gideon was here. He placed a note on the dead body of the man who was caught outside the Cinema with Mia and dropped the body in front of one of Gideon's clubs. The note was directed at Gideon. He told the man that he was aware of his plan to steal the ledger using Mia. He just proceeded with his instinct, and now Gideon was here. "Mr. Osiander, Mr. Samuel, is here”. Marina pushed open the door to announce, but Gideon brushed past her to walk inside and sit down. Adrian said nothing as his eyes zeroed in on the man who was now opposite him. The man also held his eyes in challenge. Neither of them said anything as they looked at each other until Gideon finally opened his mouth. "Where is she?”.“Who would have known th
Adrian had not sat down for close to a minute when his door opened again. He did not bother to raise his head up as he thought that it was Nicole, but Nicole's shoe wouldn't be making clicking sounds on the floor. He raised his head just in time to see Rose rushing around his desk to hug him and plant a kiss on his cheek. The strong scent of her perfume wrapped around him, and he felt himself and his world cringing in disgust. Adrian shoved her off. "What the fuck was that for?”. Rose yelled in surprise as she fought to find her balance on her heels. "What do you want?”. Adrian's voice was cold. He was fighting with his wolf, who wanted them to go and meet Mia to confirm what Gideon just said. His wolf was telling him not to believe anything until he heard from Mia first. Rose bit her lips at his cold question, but she plastered a smile on her face and moved closer to him. “I came to see you, of course. Haven't you missed me?”. " What do you want?”. Adrian asked again. He knew
