Bryson upon getting home, called Alex and instructed him to do the investigation on his family discreetly. His wealth was not one that he had inherited from his father.The Adams family is wealthy and powerful because of his hard work. His parents were neither poor nor rich. Bryson growing up as a boy had always been smart and industrious. With his science and mechanical engineering background, his company has created robots for the government to send on peacekeeping missions instead of sending people who may end up dead. To make the military people still relevant, the robots have been assigned to individuals to control. The robots have been built in such a way that they can be controlled by their assigned individuals from thousands of miles away. All you need is the robot code, and the software and you log in with their credentials and you can see everything the robot sees, and through the robot, you can engage with the individuals. It is almost like playing a game. This is where he
There was a door creaking noise heard in the hallway making Bryson, Dede and Alex look in the direction where Melissa was standing a while ago. "Check what is happening there," Bryson said and Alex moved towards the direction the noise had come from. "You look great," Bryson complimented Dede as soon as Alex left. "Thank you. You look amazing like always too," Dede returned the compliment. "It was one of the waiters using the back door," Alex reported upon return and Bryson frowned. "Have that door locked. I don't want anyone using that entrance," Bryson said and fully descended the staircase making Dede move a step back to make way for him. "Let's go," Bryson said to Dede and strode towards the auditorium's main entrance. After walking to the door, he turned to find Dede walking like she was counting her steps. He frowned and walked back to her. "Struggling with the heels?" he asked seeing she was looking at her feet. "A little," Dede replied with an awkward smile. "
"What happened?" Alex asked forgetting Bryson was also in the room."Don't ask silly questions, get her something to cover herself with," Bryson yelled at Alex and he left quickly to find Dede something to wear. Downstairs in the hall, Mr Jackson searched for his daughter but she was nowhere to be found. Melissa after ripping Dede's dress exited the building and went straight to her car. She asked the driver to move out of the place and she made a call to someone. "Make sure those pictures are everywhere on social media. If you can, let it go on the news," Melissa said with a sinister smile. "I would like a follow-up news to tell everyone she is a whore and a home wrecker," she added before ending the call."Silly girl, you want to take what is mine because you feel you have what it takes," Melissa scoffed and her driver looked at her briefly in the rearview mirror and continued driving. Back at the event location, Alex returned with another dress and Dede quickly put it on inside t
"Now I know where to find you. Whether you like it or not. I will get a piece of you," Brian said with a smirk. He got out of bed and had a quick shower. He put on a black round-neck T-shirt, matched it up with black trousers and put on a light green blazer. He grabbed his Rolex watch from his drawer of accessories and put on a small gold necklace. He neatly styled his hair and headed for the door after admiring himself in the mirror."Now time to pay my brother-in-law a visit or have my men look that girl up," he said and turned the doorknob.He opened the door only to find Julia standing behind the door with a frown. He also frowned looking at her with a questioning look."What is it?" Brian asked."I thought you said you would stay home with me today. So where are you going?" Julia asked."I said, I will stay home. I didn't say anything about 'with you'," Brian said and walked past Julia heading for the staircase.Julia followed him and stopped him from proceeding any further by st
"Bryson, you son of a bitch. I can't believe he is organizing a press conference for this stupid low-life daughter of Jezebel," Melissa cursed seeing the announcement of an upcoming press conference from Adams Corporation. She fetched her phone, dialled her mother's number and waited for her to answer. She heard her mother's voice at the other end of the phone."Mum, it is obvious Bryson likes this girl," Melissa whined."Don't worry sweetie. Let's plant some people to ask questions that will make her embarrass herself. You know Bryson will not attend such conferences. He will leave it for his PR team to handle," Rebecca said calmly. "I stripped her naked and she is going to show her face at the press conference. Do you think a question will make this girl feel embarrassed?" Melissa asked."Look, social media can be very cruel. She wants to be popular. Let's help her by making her a ridicule of the society," Rebecca said. "You can come over so we put something together. Your father i
"Good, find out who else lives in that apartment and let me know how tight security is around the place. If there is anything Bryson cares about, it is security," Brian said and ended the call. The man on the motorcycle drove off using a direct direction. He didn't need to drive to see the apartment. He was well vest with knowledge of the area and knew where every road leads to, including apartments in the location. As soon as Alex's ride took a turn on the road, he already knew where they were heading and which apartment was in the location. He found a place to park his motorcycle and used a different route to the penthouse. He knew he could not go through the gate because of the security man but he knew how to get into the compound. He did the checks and left the place after sharing the information with Brian. Inside the penthouse, Dede moved to the kitchen to prepare something. Katie was only there for a day and left the very next day. There were assigned cleaners who came to cle
Alex returned to the penthouse at 6 p.m. and went to his room. He took a shower and decided to turn in early. He wanted to clear his head with the walk but ended up sitting somewhere and crying. He didn't know the extent of his love for Dede until he realized Bryson was interested in her too. There was no way he could compete with Bryson for this girl's attention. He went to bed without checking the monitors because he didn't want to watch the girl he could never have. The next day, Sunday morning, Bryson left his apartment for the penthouse after freshening up. He didn't want Melissa coming around with her usual drama. After a couple of minutes' drive, he arrived at the penthouse intending to spend the night there. Alex saw Bryson's car drive in and he stepped out of his room to meet him."Good morning sir," Alex greeted."Good morning. I gave you an assignment," Bryson said."Yes, sir. I am working on it. I will have a report for you by tomorrow, 5 p.m.," Alex replied and followed B
"Sorry," Bryson apologized. "It is fine," Dede said feeling excited about getting a kiss from her crush."What happened?" Bryson asked trying to start a conversation to take away the awkwardness from his actions."I was in the living room and heard a knock. I thought it was Alex. So I answered and saw a man in a mask. Everything happened too fast. I felt a sharp pain in my neck and everything went dark," Dede narrated and Bryson sat down on the chair next to the bed.While Dede was talking, Bryson involuntarily held her hand in his and his eyes caught the bruises around the wrist. "When I woke up. I was tied up to a bed and had to fight Mr Brian Jackson. I am glad I wore jeans," Dede said and recalled she was topless.Dede pulled the pillow from behind her head and covered her face with it making Bryson frown. Bryson tried to take the pillow off her face but she held on to it."What happened?" Bryson asked"I know I was found nude again," Dede said in a muffled voice but Bryson heard
