“That's my father”, Adrian responded bewildered.

He turned to the excited old man and raised a questioning brow.

“Oh my! You look just like him”, the farmer responded hastily “Where is he now?”.

Adrian felt confused, but obviously, the old man seemed acquainted with his father in the past.

“He is late, he died ten years ago”, Adrian responded.

The farmer’s countenance dwindled.

“I am sorry, he was such a good man”, the farmer affirmed.

“How are you acquainted with him?”, Adrian questioned curiously.

“I had a contract with his father, your grandfather’s company back then, I supplied raw fruit for processing until the company grew bigger and grew their own farms”, he responded sincerely.

“Oh! It is great to meet you; I actually took over the company now; my grandfather is late too”, Adrian said regretfully.

“My condolence to you young man”, he responded.

“Thank you. I am Adrian”, he hastily responded.

Rissa joined in their little discussion before the old farmer left.

    “Rissa was just a victim”, Liam responded.“Wow! This is huge, Mr Hickson”, the interviewer said, adjusting to her seat.“It is, she trusted the wrong people, and we hurt her”, he added with pent-up emotion.“So you mean Mr Grey's lack of disclosure in his interview was to save himself?” the interviewer questioned suspiciously.“Yes, admitting to raping my woman wouldn't have worked well with his image”, Liam responded confidently.“This is a lot to take in, so your wife orchestrated the whole ruckus?” the interviewer further questioned.“True, my ex-wife Diane Donaldson hired Adrian Grey to ruin my marriage to Rissa”, Liam said, acting remorseful.“I feel terrible for getting played and succumbing to their game”, Liam added hastily.Adrian threw his phone to the wall as he watched the interview with Rissa who was shivering.“That scumbag! He is trying to amass public sympathy, I will sue him for defamation of character”, Adrian fumed angrily.Rissa found it all difficult to take in;

    Adrian's phone kept blaring endlessly but he kept ignoring it.Rissa felt uncomfortable but kept quiet pretending to be focused on dressing Caleb up.“He is all ready”, she said, patting Caleb's shoulder who was excited to visit an amusement park with his father.Returning to Los Angeles earlier than planned was important the moment Liam Hickson revealed their backstory to the media.“Mum, aren't you coming with us?” Caleb questioned pleadingly.“Sweetheart, Mum has to take care of some things”, she responded with a smile on her face.“Okay, I will enjoy it with Dad”, he said, pecking Rissa's cheek and rushing towards Adrian, who watched them with pure love.“We will be back soon”, Adrian said and smiled warmly at Rissa who responded with an affirmative nod.She watched them leave and heaved a sigh of relief.She sank into the sofa and rested her troubled head.“What am I supposed to do?” She soliloquized.Adrian had been acting unaffected despite the negative backlash he was getting

    Rissa opened her eyes gently and was met by a pair of red worrisome ones.“Babe, are you awake?” Adrian called continuously.Rissa nodded slightly in affirmation and watched him heave a sigh of relief.“I shouldn't have left you at home alone, I am sorry”, Adrian said regretfully.Rissa noticed two other people and they were in a moving truck.“Relax, I called the ambulance van when you fainted, they are paramedics”, Adrian said reassuringly as if reading her thoughts.She tried to open her mouth but the words wouldn't come out.“Don't worry, Caleb is fine; he is home with Mandy; I left some competent bodyguards with them”, Adrian said reassuringly.Rissa sank back into the soft slab with her mind in shambles.What the hell was going to happen?They got into the hospital and Rissa was admitted to the VIP section as per Adrian's instruction.She winced slightly when the pin was inserted into her vein.God knows she hated hospitals totally.“I am fine, Adrian; I just got a little lighth

    Rissa felt an occasional glance at her, but she ignored them totally.She had gotten accustomed to being treated carefully.Most of her colleagues walk on eggshells around her.Her head shot up the moment a leg in green heels walked towards her.“Miss Stonebridge, are you done with the proofreading?” the lady questioned rudely.Rissa stared intently at her caramel skin and excessive makeup.“You submitted it to me a few hours ago; of course, I need more time to go through it”, Rissa responded calmly but sternly.“I guess we need to bow to you now that you are the boss’s woman”, she said and walked away.Rissa stared at her departing back.She has gotten used to people turning their backs on her and walking aware.“Ignore her; she is only being envious because she couldn't win the CEO’s heart”, a nerd-looking colleague of hers said.Rissa felt surprised as the nerd barely interacted with others.“Don't look at me like that; I lack social skills, but that doesn't mean I do not talk”, s

    Liam watched Rissa release the left strap of her tightly fitted gown.He watched her soft lap move in sync with her sexy hip and huge backside.He felt himself harden from the impact of it.She swayed her hips seductively to the rhythm of the slow music.Her whole body looked so yummy.Liam felt his vision blur out a little bit and he struggled to regain control of himself.“Do you like what you see?” She said seductively and dropped the right strap of her skimpy red dress.Liam nodded his head excitedly urging her on.She unhooked the button on the dress and it fell swiftly.Liam's eyes widened at her perky breasts and the red net panties that she had on.She walked up to him in her six-inch heels and placed her left nipple in his mouth.Liam sucked on hungrily, her soft moans turned him on the more.He felt his hardness directly pointing towards her sweet pot.“I want you so much Rissa”, he said in between kisses and sucking.“I want you too boy”, she responded enthusiastically.She

    Adrian felt a chill in his spine as he watched Rissa stiffen beside him.He wanted to console her but he was yet to get over the shock of what happened earlier that evening.Caleb watched their blank expression and busted into tears.Mandy hastily consoled him and put him to bed leaving the two adults to their thoughts.“Could this be a mere traffic accident?” Adrian said defensively, breaking the awkward silence in the room.Rissa couldn't respond, her troubled mind couldn't figure out her exact thoughts.It was brief but she tried flashing back at seeing a glint of excitement in the uncovered eyes of the biker.This does seem more intentional, but is there any way to prove that?“I need to get some sleep, so do you”, Rissa said calmly, avoiding eye contact with Adrian.Adrian, taking the cue, jumped up on his feet, kissed her goodbye and left.Wasn't he supposed to console her more? He wondered.He made it home and undressed hastily in his room.In the course of saving Rissa, he sus

    “How do you feel today Mr Hickson?” She questioned adjusting her eyeglasses.Liam's face scanned the whole room, and he felt an unusual sense of serenity within himself.“This place is homely”, he responded nodding approvingly.“That is the theme, to make it homely and welcoming to everyone”, she responded enthusiastically.“You mean everyone with problems”, Liam said teasingly but the woman didn't seem to mind.She smiled along with him, “I want you to be comfortable with me, Mr Hickson”.“Obviously I am, I don't waste my precious time aimlessly”, he said, maintaining eye contact with her.The woman stood up and moved to the far corner of the left wing of the spacious office.“Coffee or tea?” she questioned.Liam raised a suspicious brow, he was about to refuse when the woman interjected.“Most of my clients come visiting for my coffee even after the end of our sessions”, she said playfully.Liam laughed wholeheartedly “I see you have a sense of humour. l will try the supposed tan

    “Then you get to take a shower after killing the cockroach laced in your hair”. Diane laughed hysterically at the mere memory of the general’s word. She remembered how she had jumped up and ferociously pulled at her hair in a bid to get it out. Unfortunately, she just got herself fooled by the cunning bastard. Everything was going to be over soon. Finally, she was going to get her happy ending, which she had strived endlessly to achieve. Rosa had reported seeing Amber rushing into Perchy Peach and the scowl on her face a few minutes later when she exited. They must have had a bone to pick. She made for her wine cellar and brought out the best there is but she didn't have the flair to pour more than a few glasses, she had to disconnect her spy recorder in Rosa's car that minute, she was tired of hearing her moans while on missions, Mr George seems to have been digging her right.

    “Don't you think we should…..”The door opened, cutting Rissa off her word; Amber rushed him; she looked unkempt and uncomposed, and both Adrian and Rissa looked stunned. It took them quite some time to react to her presence.“Mrs Hickson, this is a…..it's a pleasure to see you.. please have a seat”, Adrian offered.“I know all too well that it is not a pleasant meeting, not at a time like this, but I have no choice.” Amber burst into uncontrollable tears, and Rissa moved closer to console her. Even at the most dangerous moments, she had never been this shattered.“Mrs Hickson, what is going on?” Adrian questioned suspiciously.“Liam is being blackmailed”, she said, dabbing her tears with a handkerchief.“By Diane?” Rissa questioned suspiciously.“Not her; he tells me everything about her moves, but this was an anonymous person.”Rissa felt a pang of stabbing jealousy at Amber's words; Liam hadn't been the type to hide things, unlike Adrian, who was prone to. She wished he never had t

    Mandy hugged Caleb for the umpteenth time. She felt herself moved to tears, and it took all of her self-control to hold it back. Caleb was sulking, too; he had really gotten used to Mandy's presence for the few days that her departure was about to leave a void in him.His mother, Rissa, had been quite…..distracted these days that she barely had time for him. Also, his father's business was at a huge turning point; he had been keeping himself company with the numerous video games, but right now, he was getting bored.“Don't worry, pumpkin; I will come to visit soon with a lot of chocolate.” Mandy's reassuring smile did little to cheer him up, he nodded innocently. “Now baby, you wouldn't want Aunty Mandy to miss her flight, will you?” Caleb nodded in affirmation and shifted back into Rissa's embrace. He kept waving goodbye till she was out of his view.Rissa's eyes were glued to Mandy's departure, she felt sad but also was happy that nothing negative had happened during her stay in Lo

    Rissa felt her cheeks heating up; she opened her eyes slightly as Adrian kissed her lips gently. It feels great every time, she thought inwardly. She wrapped her arms around him in a bear hug, pouting innocently. He looked into her eyes and laughed heartily. Rissa Stonebridge sure is full of surprises.“I got you some gifts”, Adrian said with a charming smile plastered on his face.Rissa disentangled herself from him; her eyes shot up; what was the occasion? It wasn't even her birthday. She turned her head to her bedside and saw a crowded bunch of wrapped gifts, Just looking at them from a distance, she knew he must have spent a fortune.“What is the occasion, Mr. CEO?” she said teasingly.“Nothing special; I just achieved my aim of seeing a sweet smile on my girlfriend’s cute face,” he said, squeezing her cheeks playfully. Rissa rolled her eyes and laughed “I am everything but cute! Nah, I am way past that, thanks to being thirty”.He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheeks; Adrian

    Mandy waved enthusiastically and Caleb rushed into her arms. They both couldn't contain their joy; she hadn't had a video call with him in weeks, and it felt like years; she almost got thrown on her back by his huge hug. Rissa walked up to her smiling pleasantly.“Caleb is all grown; I almost fell on my butt from his hug.”Caleb laughed as he disentangled himself from her. Rissa hugged Mandy, too, and kept on blabbing about the jet lag and how she was craving a cold shower and some home-cooked meals. She reached into her pocket and handed over a chocolate box to Caleb which he collected enthusiastically.“You have lost a few pounds, Mandy. Have lectures been stressful?” Rissa questioned worriedly.“Very stressful, but I love it, it keeps me on my toes, and I only have one more year to endure the hard part.”Rissa nodded in understanding and they all walked out of the airport beaming with smiles. Mandy had called her three days back to inform her about her return to Los Angeles for a f

    Diane kept gulping down more wine; she was beyond drunk, her face was swollen, and her lips were plump. She smiled inwardly as she listened in on her Bluetooth headphones. The soft moans, her mind drifting off to its imagination, parted her legs slightly and inserted two fingers into her core.The moans intensified, and so did the thrusting of her fingers; she heard the male groan, and her senses flew up; she felt the shift in power and his vigorous thrusts on the female; she felt herself reaching her peak and let out a soft moan before withdrawing her hands.Diane felt herself weakened on the sofa, her juice flowing out freely from between her legs, she smiled satisfactorily. She hadn't had the time to do that in the two months since she arrived in Los Angeles.“Can we do this a few more times?”“Don't you dare dream!”She heard the words and laughed hysterically, Rosa hadn't been aware of the bug in the car, but Diane knew she couldn't trust anyone.

    Everything else was grand except that the plan itself was fruitless; Adrian's eyes scanned the report on his table; he held up his head with his left hand and ruffled his hair. Confusion set about in his countenance; how could their brilliant idea go down the drain like that?Perchy Peach developed a new marketing strategy and product packaging, and within two days, the internet was filled up with negative reviews of it. He had tested it out privately, and nothing seemed to be out of place, but some people seemed to be hell-bent on tarnishing their image.His phone rang loudly, and he dipped his hand into his pocket to retrieve it; he picked it up instantly, and Rissa's voice came through. Caleb was reported to be ill from school, and she had to rush out of the office to get him to the hospital.Fear gripped Adrian, was this coincidental? He knew Diane was going to come for him and Rissa, but he desperately hoped for her own good that Caleb wasn't gravely ill due to one of her mischi

    Winter sure was as expected; Mr. George walked out of the prison yard smiling pleasantly; a few weeks ago, she had promised to help him out; he didn't know she had such influence; two days earlier, his parole was granted without any hassle.He waved his hand excessively the moment he sighted her standing beside a luxurious car he hadn't come across before, his eyes shone in admiration of the car and the stunning owner.“Congratulations”, she said nonchalantly as he approached.“Thank you”.They got into the car and drove off instantly; Diane alighted in front of the restaurant opposite Perchy Peach; she put on her sunglasses and curvy hat, a perfect disguise for someone who had been presumed dead.Mr George didn't ask any questions; he had done his research on her secretly. She was supposed to be dead, burnt beyond recognition, but he didn't care how she survived as long as she could be an instrument in his revenge.“I got you a place and job”.She said, sipping on her coffee; the re

    “You have a visitor”.Mr George turned and eyed the warder maliciously, he looked tired and haggard from the day’s strenuous activities now he had distracted his nap time. He wondered who his visitor could be but he couldn't wrap his head around it, his girlfriend had stopped visiting two months after his verdict had been stamped, his aged parents despised him a lot now, they were devoted Catholic, how could a child of theirs commit such great atrocities.“Who?” He questioned casually.“Get your ass up, inmate 7505; I am busy”.Mr George rose and yawned lazily; he silently hoped Liam or Adrian hadn't come seeking him for some kind of forgiveness; he laughed hysterically at the thought of that. He braces himself ready to dive into whatever lies ahead of him.The door flung open, and he walked out; he eyed the keys in the warder’s hand; if it had been the only key to get him out of the whole prison, he would have stolen it and absconded.“Aren't you going?
