Jayden rubbed his nose which bumped into the tall and muscular man.
He gasped when he realized that it was the man who kept blocking him time and again.
“It’s you!” He pointed his finger at him. He glared incredulously at the person.
The man just raised an eyebrow at him then walked away.
But Jayden was too pissed to just let him go. If not for this person, he could have interacted with Diana already. Instead, this person just has to pop out everywhere like a mushroom.
“Are you doing this on purpose?! What did I do to you? Why do you keep showing up in front of me? Are you gay? You’re interested in me?! Sorry but I don’t swing that way..” His barrage of questions didn’t even faze the person he was talking to.
Emmett Foster just stared down at him in disdain.
‘This guy is wasting my time. Does he think Madam will take n
Across where Diana sat was a middle-aged woman with short red hair, wearing a blue surplice plain knitting bodycon dress. She was sitting between her husband who has ash-brown hair cut short and was wearing a beige slim fit turtleneck knitted sweater and brown slim fit pants and her son who had similar hair color but his hair had undercut on the sides and the middle was longer giving him a boyish look. He wore a dark grey sweater and grey slim fit pants. They were such a sight to see when they entered the restaurant. Cassandra wore light makeup and she was beautiful to look at. She could even be mistaken for a celebrity. Winston and Harlan were both handsome and clean-shaven. One would think they were heading to a photo shoot. Diana looked especially cute in a beige lantern sleeve pullover and brown tartan waist slim knee-length skirt. Since Lucas was from the Institute, he still wore a white dress shirt and brown dress pants. Both looked lovely together like
At this moment, the Barnes family are on their way to Winchester's company with Winston driving. “Mom, do you think grandpa is going to be back to managing the company soon?” “I don’t know, dear. He wanted to retire early that’s why he had Osmond manage it. But now..” Cassandra sighed, her brows knit together. “It’s also not wise to have Chantal manage it instead.” On that, the three of them would agree. “How is the company compared to the others?” Winston has been thinking about it. Would the company really survive now that Cassandra is managing it on behalf of Vergil? Or does his wife need to stay to keep the company afloat? “It’s not a good situation. And even when my dad was the one managing it, it’s still not that much compared to other companies. You know the biggest company, Griffin Entertainment. They’re the best in the field. The others are like ants compared t
When she saw the gold bracelet, she thought of Wyatt. Soon she wouldn’t be called his mom anymore. She thought that she could leave something for him. It’s only now that she has signed the papers to give up her rights that she felt some regrets. She was not confident that she could be a good mom towards him. All her life she has been praised by those around her, especially her own family. But now with her father gone forever, her mother far away with her grandparents and her other set of grandparents confined in the hospital, she only had Wyatt and the maids in the house. Although her aunt Cassandra was here for now, she knew that she would eventually go back to her family in Maconia. Also, she’s not particularly close to her Aunt. She could always remember the times when Diana would get along with her aunt more than her. She went home afterwards and went to see Wyatt in the Nursery room. The baby was sleeping like an angel in his crib.
“We could just do a video call. It would be better.” She snatched his phone from him and deleted the videos, she deleted it from the Trash too. Gunner didn’t stop her. He also looked forward to making this kind of video call with her. Back at the party, Sophie was becoming increasingly bored. Halynn and the others were not there with her. She managed to extract herself from the conversation and wandered into the back garden of the residence. It was already late in the evening, the sky had turned dark. Only the moonlight and lamp posts illuminated the back garden. There were heating lamps everywhere since it was already approaching winter. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer were worried that the guests would feel too cold, spending time outdoors in this weather. She sat on a bench and took out her phone, scrolling through her newsfeed. There were no new messages for her and she hadn’t thought of anything int
She gasped as she saw the face of a stranger. She didn’t look familiar to him. She turned towards the direction of the silhouette again, afraid that it would suddenly come close to her face. “Who were you talking to?” The man who just came behind her looked in the direction she was looking. “Him!” She pointed at the silhouette. “Ah?” The man fumbled for his phone and took it out. He turned on the flashlight and aimed it at the silhouette. It turns out it was only a sculpture. She heaved a sigh in relief. She felt incredibly stupid for mistaking it for a person. She needlessly gave herself a fright. The man chuckled, making her feel more embarrassed. “Talking to a sculpture, eh?” “I--I--didn’t see clearly. It was too dark..” She bowed her head, hiding her burning cheeks. “How long
Heart beating fast. Her nape started to feel hot. She just took a glance at him and it was already starting to warm her up. Before they reached the center of the labyrinth, she barely saw how he looked since the lampposts from where the sculpture that scared her was until the entrance here was not working. Since she has almost made the decision to warm her body up through being intimate with him, she might as well take a look first. Who knows? Maybe if she sees that he doesn’t suit her taste, the feeling of anger for being flirted with by an unattractive person would probably warm her enough too. But what can she say now? He was more than suited to her taste. This is a man! Not young men like Harvey or Joe, or Jayden or Olly. Carlos didn’t have a boyish look on his face at all! He was a manly-man. His hair was cut short, his
They were already warm enough, they were burning hot in lust. When they felt that the floor on that side was already wet, they merely moved to the other part of the pavilion, using different kinds of positions to please each other. “Ah! We forgot to use condom.. You’re on birth control, right?” “...” Her eyes widened when she realized that they didn’t even think about this part. But it was too late. Both of them climaxed too many times already and he didn’t withdraw his manhood while he did so. “...why didn’t you pull it out earlier?” Carlos shook his head. ‘Damn, I let my other head think for me.. I should have made sure she was at least on a pill. Whatever… if she gets pregnant, then I’ll take responsibility.. If we’re compatible then I guess, I’m getting a young wife then…’ The more he thought about it, the more he found it pleasing. His manhood became even stiffer as he continued to thrus
“We could try, can’t we? To be honest, I liked what we did just now. But I would like it to be just between us.” Her brows knitted, she pursed her lips. “I wonder.. Why are you so honest?” “Hahaha.. You’ll understand the more you get to know me.. Isn’t that great though? I'll tell you straight! Hahaha” She giggled. It certainly is refreshing to know a straightforward person. “Oh… right. You didn’t use birth control?” His question caught her off guard. She finally relaxed just now but this question made her tense up again. “Why? Do you want me to use the morning after pill?” Her voice was lifeless. He heard the change of her tone. He sighed. “This. It’s up to you..” “Huh? What do you mean?” “I mean just that. If you’re not ready to be a mom, then take it. If you are, then don’t.”
Lillian, Ernest and the rest arrived at the airport and were quickly assisted through the process. They were able to leave the airport and head to their residence easily. Adrian looked around and saw that everything seemed strange in his eyes. Nothing was familiar to him. It was when they were finally close to the mansion when he recognized the structure. He had dreamt of this place so many times. It had become hazy at some point. But now, he could see that this was more or less the place he lived in before he was taken. It had some new additions along with other changes such as the paint and the landscape design. But the overall structure was the same. As they entered the gates, he saw that there were a lot of people outside of the house. They were lined up even in this cold weather. Most of them seemed to be wearing uniforms under their black coats. The only ones who looked different than the others were the three couples and two young men. “Ah.. Everyone’s here.” Emma smiled
Adrian and Violet were apprehensive when they saw the big plane that they were going to ride on.Fortunately for them, they were flying through the private plane of the Lovell family, else, they would be even more embarrassed by the way they were acting.To their memory, this was their first time being on any plane.That simply was not true for Adrian, as the family had gone on vacations before that needed the plane. It’s just that this memory may have been forgotten by Adrian already.As for Violet, this was her first ever flight.They at least knew what a plane was.They were only anxious as to how they would feel once they’re already up in the air.Lillian and the rest tried to distract them from these thoughts.Hugh and Leroy offered them some wine and snacks.Emma and Priscilla showed them the movies they could watch on the screen in front of their seat.Lillian especially made sure they felt warm and comfortable, giving them blankets and pillows, showing them how to recline thei
“Yes, Dad. Alright–Mn..Goodnight.” Lucas said to Hugh on the phone.Hugh had called him to let him know that they would be heading back in the morning with Adrian and his friend, Violet.Hugh and Leroy’s secretaries have received updates regarding a background check on Violet’s family.They’ve decided to let Violet stay with the Lovell family as a guest.In the residence, there’s usually only the elders living with their staff. Usually, it would be busier during holidays and if there are any special occasions. In those times, everyone would gather in the residence and stay in their rooms reserved for them.Lillian and Ernest have held out hope that Adrian would return to them so they never thought of letting anybody else use it.Lillian would personally clean it and it was only in the later years that she let her staff help her.She wanted to preserve whatever remaining scent Adrian had left.There were times when she would burst out in tears, realizing that she could no longer recall
Soon, the driver, John Garcia, pulled up outside of the hotel where Lillian and the rest were staying.Adrian was no longer as anxious as he was half an hour ago, still he could still remember the bullets trying to penetrate through the car and the explosion after those goons’ cars had collided.Detective Jones glanced at him, noticing how pale Adrian was.Still, he commended him for not breaking down and not getting in their way.And also, because of him, they were able to rescue so many people who have been missing for years.Perhaps the Mayor might even think of rewarding Adrian because of his contribution.At the moment though, it was inappropriate to bring it up, given what the man had just experienced.So after escorting them to the hotel, Detective Jones left them, joining the other Officers with the rescued people.It was a field day for the reporters, gathering outside the police department.On the televisions of most households, they showed several people with their heads lo
As John Garcia was driving the car forward, everyone in the car held their breaths.They already knew that those people were Mortimer’s men. They could only play along for now, hoping for them to think that Adrian was in the other cars.But then–that possibility is very low.The black car they’re in was far from ordinary upon close inspection.And like clockwork, shots rang.Adrian ducked, covering his head with his arms.John Garcia gripped the steering wheel while Howard Dawson and Detective Jones cocked their guns.A voice of one of the policemen came on the comms. “Keep going. Follow the second group!”No matter what, they couldn’t let Adrian and the people who had just been rescued be in Mortimer’s hands again.John Garcia didn’t hesitate and quickly sped on.Mortimer’s men have picked the road where there’s only farm crops on each side, the road only leading one way.The city was still quite far so blending in or hiding in some alleyway would still be impossible.For now, they s
The drive was calm, with John Garcia, the driver not making any stops if he could help it.The car could drive even without gas as it can run on solar power.It could be recharged at a charging station, could store gas and could be powered through solar. This is all thanks to the upgrades done by the Lovell Technologies.With the drive being calm, Adrian fell to sleep.Even Detective Jones dozed off as well, his head hitting the window a couple of times.An hour into the drive, the car suddenly beeped in alarm.Adrian and Detective Jones groaned, having been woken up by the alarm.“What is it? What’s happening?” Detective Jones asked.“There seems to be an accident up ahead.” John Garcia answered, pointing at the GPS shown on the screen in front of him.“Is there another road we can take?” The bodyguard, Hoyt Cole asked.“This is the only road back to Westbury..” John Garcia answered.“Maybe the road is not totally blocked–” Detective Jones said.“Alright then–we’ll keep going..”“Sta
After canvassing the full layout of the building and accounting the number of people inside, Detective Jones and the other Officers made their strategic plan.An hour later, they made their move.Adrian was made to stay in the car while he viewed their perspective from the tablet device.He was given eyes for different cameras. Two more Officers were also monitoring it from their tablet devices.They compared every person found to the sketches from Adrian’s description of the people held captive. And also of the ones Adrian said were the people who ordered them around.Adrian watched as the trained Officers infiltrated the area covertly.CCTV cameras were hacked and made to play the same view over and over again.They knocked out the guards with tranquilizers, making sure they wouldn’t be waking up so soon.They were separated into groups. One made way to the sleeping quarters of the captives, another entered the main building, and another surrounded all possible exits.There were onl
Adrian held her hand, squeezing it.At that moment, Hugh returned to the room and was startled by the silence.“What happened?” He asked. His eyes wandered to Violet who now had her head lowered, her hand covering her eyes and her shoulders shaking.‘Is she crying?’ His brows furrowed.“Violet just remembered what happened that time when she was taken away.” Emma summarized it for him.He nodded. “By the way–I’ve just received information just now. Violet–it has something to do with you. If this is not a good time, I won’t say it.”She looked up, quickly wiping her tears with the cloth napkin.“No, please, I want to hear it.”Hugh nodded.“What is it, Hugh?” Emma asked.“It’s about her family.”They all glanced at Violet, gauging her reaction.“I remember–my mother died that time.” She said.Hugh nodded, confirming what she had remembered.Her heart fell. Deep inside, she was hoping that she was wrong. That she remembered it wrongly.Tears continued to fall down her cheeks. The napkin
Knock. Knock.“I’ll go get it..” Emma said.She opened the door and saw her younger brother, Adrian.“Ah.. Adrian.. What is it?”Adrian was startled.He stepped back to check if he knocked on the correct room or not.“You have something you need from Violet?” She smiled.His brows shot up. “Oh. Um–I was going to bring her to the dining room.”“Ah.. I see. Well, just in time. We’re done here as well.” Emma smiled. She turned her head and called over. “Come on you two..”“Okay!” Priscilla said. “Let’s go Violet..”Priscilla brought Violet over.Adrian was struck for a moment when he saw Violet.He had never seen her so dolled up.Her hair was beautiful and so is her overall look. Her face was even more beautiful than usual.Violet’s head hung as her cheeks blushed bright red.Adrian cleared his throat.“Let’s go..” Adrian tilted his head.“Mn.” Violet nodded.
