ADAM“Before I get my hopes high in excitement, how well do you trust this guy, Max?” I asked.“Trix has been my friend for years now. We go way back. Yeah, we’ve not really been in talks for some time, but whenever we reunite, we’re always cool. You can trust him” He explained.“Trix? Is that some robot or what?” The name took me aback.“He was a big fan of the Matrix movie, which actually inspired his career path. So, he adopted the name for himself. Very weird guy, I must say. Weird, but smart”“Alright. I won’t trust him that much, but I would hold you responsible if things go south”“There’s nothing to be scared of. You have my words”“Okay then. Tell me more about this our mystery AnonyChris guy”“Yeah! I was coming to that. Turns out his name is Christopher Watkins. Does the name ring a bell?”“Chris…topher Watkins… Christo… Nah! I haven’t heard such before”I knew a whole lot of people in my life, from school to work to vacations and the ladies, but the Watkins name wasn’t fam
ADAMI was going to make Christopher Watkins pay for all the damages he had ever done to me and all that concerned me.He had been doing that same stuff to other companies and all had been going smoothly. I wasn't wrong when I guessed he was employed as a Competition crusher guy by the companies he worked for.Too bad for him and thanks to Max' extra efforts, he'd be meeting his Waterloo. Maybe then, other companies that had been caught in his web, would demand payments for damages too.My mind was finally at rest. We had a solid lead that would take us to the main perpetrator and that was more than enough for me.I had a lot of things I planned on doing to him, but I needed a bit more evidence to carry them out."I need to call dad to let him know we've made progress"That would be the first time I'd be calling my father to let him know we had gotten somewhere.He was the one that usually called and I always gave him one disappointing excuse all the time. But this time around, it w
ADAMI could imagine the excitement on dad's face when I showed him every detail about Christopher Watkins.The pride on my face when he'd finally smile and concede to the fact that I could really handle my own stuff.I couldn't wait to tell him all as I moved my head and body to the country music blasting through my car speaker.My phone rang as I was driving and I had to reduce the volume of the music to check who it was. It was none other than Samantha."Heyyyyy, Sam" I sounded rather enthusiastic and sweet."Sam? That's weird, but I'll take it""Weird? You've always been my girl, am I wrong?""Well, not until you started acting up""If I was acting up, would I have given you the sex you never had in a long time the other day?" I smirked."Well, I'll take that" She blushed over the phone."So, what's good? Any problem?" I asked."Not at all. I got to know from Max that you've got a lead on the person behind the rumours""Yeah, baby. I fucking do. Wooooh!""Oh wow! I was headed to y
ADAMThe plan was to go visit Christopher Watkins at his residence for some serious questioning.Before then, Dad had gotten in contact with his bosom friend, Detective Adam, whom I was named after.They had been really close friends since when I was a little boy. He usually spent weekends at our place and was easily my favourite older person. He was out of town for sometime, so he wasn't aware of everything happening in London.He was furious when dad told him about the issue, citing the fact that we never informed him or reached out to him before the case got worse.Dad was like a mentor to him; always coming to save his ass and connecting him to the right persons when he was still coming up the ranks in the police.So, he owed his life to dad.He was more than willing to intervene in the issue and assured us that he would get the truth out of Christopher, either cordially or by force.I had seen a lot of movies where the police went out of the law to get something out of an alleged
ADAM"Nah. I didn't find anything. If there was any other person working with him, I believe they'd be staff of these companies too. But then, everything traced back to him and him alone" Max replied."I guess he'd have a lot of explanations to do, then" Samantha said."He sure does" "This detective guy you talked about, how did you get to know him?" She asked."Detective Adam?""Ohh. You both bear the same name. Nice" Max said."Yeah. He's been around for as long as I can remember. A very close friend of my dad. Top secret, I was actually namrs after him""Oh, really. That means your dad must have been fond of him" She said."Way too fond of him. When we were kids, my father would always want him to spend more days Whenever he came to our place to spend the weekend. He'd usually end up spending an extra week, while my father would put in a word or two for him to make sure he never got into any trouble for going AWOL back at the station""Never thought I'd ever see someone that close
ADAMThere he was - Christopher Watkins. He came out of the house again, probably to take a look around the street or stretch out.He looked nothing like the picture we saw. He had a thick moustache and appeared slimmer in person, with his unkempt hair. We made sure we parked at a place concealing enough that he wouldn’t be able to see us easily.“Wait. So, that’s the guy that has been behind this stuff?” Samantha said.“He looks quite different in person” Max added.“Most of them apply different means of disguise to make them less recognizable by the police. Some cut their hairs, some grow beards and moustache. Anything just to give them that Stealth” Detective explained.“I can’t believe the past week of my life has been made a living hell by this guy over there. He doesn’t even look like he could stand a fight against Samantha, talk more of me. I would make sure he ends up with long term bruises” I fumed.“Relax, son. There’s no need for the violence now. Let’s allow the detective
ADAM“Nah. Not yet, man”“I should go check what’s going on there. Don’t worry, I won’t go in. I’d just hide behind the door and listen” Max said, about to open the door.“No, No, No! We’ve already waited this long. Let’s just exercise patience. I’m sure they’d be out soon” In as much as I was restricting Max from going, I also wanted to to go over there. I gave them a grace of 10 minutes and made up my mind to go in if there was no sign of them.Dad was still heavily asleep. I didn’t want to wake him, disturbing him with my rants and all that. “What if he’s not our guy?” Samantha asked.That was one question I kept trying to run from whenever it came up. I threw away all doubts that Christopher Watkins was innocent. If he was innocent, we would have to start all over again with the whole investigations. I wasn’t ready for that kind of stress again. I might just let the whole issue linger if it came to that, not giving two fucks about what people would say and what damages it would
JULIEIt’s been three days since Christopher Watkins was interrogated and confessed to be behind the fraud-related rumours circulating about Adam Jones. From further investigations, he spilled a lot of information about who employed him to do the dirty work, which was Sapphire. He also confessed to being behind the other companies that packed up untimely.He admitted guilty to all counts against him and was fined a huge sum of money alongside the employers. The other companies also followed suit and made sure to get their pound of flesh.Surprisingly, Adam and his dad didn’t want the case to linger, and sending the offenders to jail was going to be a long process. So, to get it all done once and for all, They were made to tender public apologies across major Television stations in the city and on social media where it all started.That and the fifty million pounds fine for defamation of character was more than enough compensation to Adam.I was particularly happy it was all over. One,
ADAMI got Max and Samantha fired the next morning without thinking twice about it. Unlike Max that tried to make an appeal, Samantha was very proud of the act and showed no remorse about it. I sent them both away and threatened to get them arrested if I ever saw them around the company.The past weeks had been a roller coaster for me. First, it was me thinking Julie had betrayed me, and sending her away. Then, it was Max, someone I regarded as one of my closest friends.I wasn’t surprised about Samantha being the mastermind of it. She hated Julie with everything in her and never failed to show it at the slightest chance she got. But, Max? He was way too close to Julie; her closest friend in the office. I never expected such from him.I didn’t know how to approach Julie with everything that had happened the past days. I mean, I sent her away for the second time without even hearing her out. That was so cruel of me.I tried calling her, but her line wasn’t reachable. I had to go see he
ADAM“I have no intentions of hurting you, Adam”When Julie came back, I did nothing but take her in with good cheer. I never knew all along, the plan was to get back at me because of what happened between us six years ago.I spent days brooding over what the one person I loved so much did to me. The betrayal pierced so deep into my heart that I couldn’t get over it. I tried so hard not to believe it was true. I so wanted to to be all a joke or prank.With how innocent she looked, one would hardly suspect she had such an evil intention towards me.I mean, we already bonded so deeply and I was planning on moving her and Bryan to a more befitting apartment close to me, until she was mentally ready to move in fully with me.My major worry was Bryan. It had been over two weeks Julie left and I couldn’t reach her again. A part of me strongly doubted if Bryan was really my son like she said, or if it was all part of her lies to get closer to me, to execute what she had in mind all along.I
JULIE“You have broken the trust I had for you, Julie. Goodbye”Adam’s word kept ringing in my head as the days went by. I tried but just couldn't get over it.I tried to recall everything that happened that fateful day. It was just so fast and scripted perfectly that I didn’t even have the chance to think about what was happening around me.Adam didn’t give me a listening ear either. It was like he was under a spell or hypnosis. The evidence was there; it was their world against mine. I was unknowingly with an official document of the company, which shouldn’t even be in my possession in the first place.I wasn’t given the chance to explain myself, which made me disappointed in Adam. I was sure he thought of me as evil and didn’t want anything to do with me again,The look of betrayal on his face said it all and it took a lot of self-control from him not to get me arrested at that point. Rather, he sent me away again.“Who could have been behind this?” I asked myself.Only Samantha ca
JULIEIt had been two months since things got completely rosy between Adam and I. Two months since he finally introduced himself to Bryan as his father.Things have been going so smoothly ever since. I usually sent Bryan off to his place to go spend some weekends. Sometimes, at Adam’s request, others, just because I wanted to have some “Me” time without Bryan’s problems.Soon, we came to an agreement that Bryan would be spending the weekends at his place, when Adam would be free enough to relate well with him. I also went over to see him when I could and he never failed to have sex with me whenever I was at his place.Things were finally back to normal, as I always wished for. Everything seemed to be going well. Samantha no longer threw herself at Adam. Seemed she had swallowed the bitter pill at last.I was supposed to meet with Max and a certain client at a hotel lounge, with a sealed document Max gave to me the previous day at the office. According to him, the document was for a bu
ADAMIt had been a week since father visited me in my office, seeking to be in the know of what was happening between Samantha and I. He left the office in utter shock after I had told him I had a baby child with Julie.All those years, just like me, he thought that Julie got rid of the pregnancy like I had commanded her to. He had nothing else to do at that point; there was no other way he could help Samantha talk to me, because my mind was already made up.As soon as I got to work the next day, I angrily sped off to Samantha’s office to confront her about what just happened.“How dare you try to involve my father in my personal life? What gave you the guts to do that?!” I thundered at her.She fidgeted, as she had never seen me in such mood before. She tried to calm me, but I wasn’t having any of that.It wasn’t enough that she kept on forcing herself on me, she also had to drag my dad into something he had no business with. That was way out of line.“I know everything. He told me.
ADAMIt had been a week since I had the most mind-blowing sex in a while. A week since I got to spend quality time with the woman I loved dearly. Also a week since Julie told me that Bryan was my seed- a result of one of the numerous sex we had when we were still together six years ago.The news was the best thing my ears ever heard in years. Not even the launch of the fashion brand could rival the joy the knowledge of Bryan being my son, brought me.Everything seemed brand new to me ever since I got the news. I smiled more as my happiness knew no bounds.For so long, I always imagined what it would be like, having my own son, whom I’d give everything he ever wanted. The fact that Bryan was one smart kid, warmed my heart the more.“He’ll go on vacations in any country of his choice” I thought to myself.“I think I should get him a car and a driver who would be taking him anywhere he wants to go to” I thought again.“No, that would be too much” I disputed.“Nah! Nothing is ever too m
JULIEI just had the best sex of my life and instead of feeling used and disgusted at myself, I felt satisfaction like never before. Prior to that day, I never realized how much I needed the orgasm that came from a session of intense sex.It was as as if my whole body had a total revamp; like every organ got changed and became brand new. I had goosebumps all over me for a long time as I laid on the bed with Adam.My legs were still feeling shaky from the climax it just went through and my pussy felt sore. I didn’t care. I had gotten the satisfaction I needed and I was open to more, regardless of how tired I was.I never planned to have sex with Adam. It was never my intentions to get intimate with him. The plan was to go to the wedding with him, spend some time, dance, then get home to have my rest. But the incident with Max which changed my mood, got me craving something to ease myself of the mood swing and sex was just the perfect fit to my puzzle.Adam, on the other hand, panted he
JULIEThe ride back to Adam’s place was a calm one. As I sat next to him at the passenger seat, I couldn’t help but have a feeling of relaxation all over me. Just like at the wedding, a soft melodic romantic song was drifting from the car speakers and this made the atmosphere even more serene.He stared down at me and touched my face calmly, while I snuggled up into his warm embrace. With his arms around me, I felt nothing but safe.Justin was focused on his driving and constant humming to the music. It was like the classic romance movies I grew up watching, only that this time, I was the main character in it.“How are you feeling now?” Adam’s deep sensual voice calmly pierced into my ears.“I’m feeling a bit better. If we could stay in this position longer, I might feel completely better” I said and giggled.“You are permitted to stay for a long as you want” He rubbed my shoulders with his palms.“I’m sorry I had to make you leave the wedding earlier” I apologized.“It’s fine, Julie.
JULIE“Hi, Max” I managed to say.I looked at him and looked away almost immediately. I was so ashamed to look at Max for long. He faked a smile, but I knew that deep down, the smile meant nothing but the feeling of being betrayed and disgust for me.Adam stared at me as I acted weird. I was sure he expected me to be all happy seeing Max, but my countenance was just the direct opposite.“Is everything okay? You both are acting very awkward right now, like you just saw a ghost. Or, did you?” Adam asked, looking around in search of the presumed ghost.“Hahaha! I’m sure she’s just too tired, or maybe she never expected to see me here” Max responded, still smiling at me.As his smile grew wide, all I could see was a broken man, masking it with laughter. I had to cheer up to avoid any further interrogations from Adam.“Yeah. That might be the reason, I guess” Adam nudged my shoulder.“I never knew you’d be coming along with her, though. I expected you’d be here alone” Max continued.“Well…
