A call from CEO
Reaching at the office floor, Adele found herself in an awkward situation. Everyone was looking at her with wide eyes. Eva came towards her running.
"Where were you yesterday? We were so tensed. You are okay right?"
What would she reply? That someone sent people to kidnap her? Or she was unconscious for a long time? Even she was threatened by a mafia leader and attacked his base? None of them was good idea.
"Hehe, I was just in some problems. It's okay now." She didn't want to explain.
"Do you know assistant Ryan was asking about you yesterday? God! He was damn handsome." Eva was really very childish.
Rose pinched her to stop saying rubbish, "Adele, you were not present on the second day of job and the assistant was finding you. I'm afraid your job is at risk."
Adele was fearing the same. But never guessed she was that much popular in CEO'S office.

Darkness in our life A sudden gift
"What if I don't sign?" Albert tightened his fist, his muscles tensed. He worked hard to rebuild the Knight Enterprises. Maybe he had another businesses, but this was the closest to him. He couldn't afford to lose it. "Afraid?" Adele mocked his vulnerability. She smirked while going through the papers again. She didn't care about his property or name. But she was also not ready to sign those papers only for his happiness. Of course he didn't treat her well. "What's your connection with Elijah Wilson?" He again asked in a stern voice. "And why are you so concerned about him?" She also raised her voice. Albert was shocked to see her shouting. She never did it before. He looked at those papers once again. He took some deep breaths to calm himself. Then said softly, "If you don't want to sign, then don't. No force." Adele was taken aback by his sudden change. Wasn't the reason he found her? Then why did he suddenly start
Darkness in our life A new side of Albert
Adele's POV Mi Amor? I raised an eyebrow. Then a devil grin crept up my lips. I was rather feeling helpless. There are a lot of persons to observe my every movement. Sometimes I felt I lacked freedom. But sill that gift made me feel a little happy. Long time, no one called me Mi Amore. I took the gift with me and again started to work. When I was too much attentive in my fileworks, suddenly Eva cleared her throat.I looked at her with a question. With a smirk, she took the gift from my desk and started to examine it. Observing the luxurious wrapping and the greetings card, she gave me a knowing look. Fool. "Mi Amor....ohhh!" She looked from the side of eyes, "You didn't say you've a Knight in shining armor. What's inside it?" Her smirk made me laugh. "I didn't open it." I said casually. And I was not interested. She rolled her eyes and started started to unwrap. But to her utter surprise, ther
Darkness in our life A revelation of identity
Adele's POV Dad! Albert had dad's picture in his bedroom?! It's been a long I've seen him even in pictures. I didn't take any of his memories with me. Because I never wanted anyone to know my real identity. I bent down to the nightstand beside his bed and took that frame in my hand. I slowly trailed my finger over the frame feeling the warmth of dad's hand. I could remember his scent, that made me feel protected. I felt someone's gaze on me. For some good moments, I forgot I was not the only one in the room. It was Albert's room and he was also there, right behind me. "Who's he to you?" His cold tone never knew how to leave. I had a lot of trust issues. Is it good to let him know? The person who abandoned me right after the wedding. Then found me again for some signatures. That so called husband could never be believed. But again, he was the person who saved me though it was not needed. He met me again and again bef
Darkness in our life A reason of care
"So Dylan was your middle name. And every time you used it to befool me?" Adele looked at him coldly. That man didn't say her anything about Albert Knight or his own identity. He just pretended to be a survivor who came when she was drowning. Robert was sitting like a kid who got scolded from his teacher and were asked to call his parents. He was looking at Albert from the side if eyes. That brat didn't let him maintain the good image. It was drained that moment she knew his real identity. "But every time you helped me not because of my marriage, right? You knew my real identity and my father too." Her eyes were cold while looking at Robert. She understood the reason behind all of his support, care, concern and love. Both of the brothers were close to Elijah Wilson and so with her. Robert knew the real identity and that's why tried to keep her safe. But she guessed something a long ago. Maybe only being a relative was a better reason th
Darkness in our life A gossip in office
"Adele!" Rose was blinking her eyes looking at her with shock. Eva was standing with her mouth wide open. Blake and Noah were looking at her up to down. "What? Have you seen any ghost?" Adele asked being irritated by their gaze. They had been looking at her since she entered the office. Even every employee was looking at her with those expressions. She was thinking from the beginning what was their reasons. "Tell me truthfully girl, are you stalking Albert Knight?" Eva said pointing her index finger at her., "You have been to the CEO's office more than anyone ever did. And today you came with him. How?" Adele was surprised how they knew about it. She got down the car on the road to avoid these gossips. But bad luck! "You were in his car, right? Your picture has become the hot topic in our office gossip page." Blake said with a smirk. Well, there was a gossip page too? H
Darkness in our life A new feeling
"Mr. Lan, I thought the CEO would be here." Albert was enraged with the thought just a newcomer company disgraced him. He came to meet them by himself and the CEO didn't care to show up and even didn't provide any decisions with the man in front of him. How dare they! "Errr....Mr Knight, actually she's quite busy." Nathan didn't know any other excuse. He himself didn't know what was Adele doing. But the bitter truth was she ditched her own company to work with other ones. Sometimes Nathan wondered if she really cared about those properties of billions. "Busy? What did you mean by busy?" Albert asked in a cold tone that made Nathan gulped his saliva. Damn you Adele! If Nathan found her, she would be beaten to a pulp. Nathan sighed and dialled Adele's number. But she didn't pick the call up. Albert wanted to bury him alive. He was fuming with anger. He never tolerated any lacking in respect. "I think, I'm not interested in De
Darkness in our life An urgent call
"You were scared last night?" Adele asked suddenly remembering his words. She couldn't ask him back then.His kiss was soft and tender, in which she was compelled to melt. She never thought she would accept a kiss from the so called husband, her first kiss. She was wondering how much affect this man had on her from the first meeting. The affects were increasing day by day. Inspite of their ignored marriage, she started to feel something for him.Albert turned his head after hearing the question. He remembered their first kiss. He was glad she didn't push him away even started kissing him back later."What do you think?" He chose to let her find the answer herself.It's been 14 years since he started to find her. Even after his marriage his only thought was around that little cute Amber whom he promised to protect with his life. Though he failed once, he wanted to make up for it. Now he fo
Darkness in our life A fashion show
Adele's POV"Brother Rob, can't you stay a little more?" I knew he couldn't. But he was the only person in LA who had access in every phase of my life, personal or professional. He was the only one to give me support all the time, he tried to keep me safe."Come on Adele! Don't behave like a kid. I was here with a goal and I reached it. Now I don't have any reason to stay here." He sighed. Maybe he didn't want to leave the city, but he had a lot of responsibilities to fulfill.Then he turned to Albert and said, "Hope you will take a good care of her. My job's done. Now she's your responsibility." He patted his shoulder and hugged him tightly."Bye!" Closing eyes, he muttered faintly. Instantly a group of people surrounded him as he started walking.I smiled faintly. I knew his reasons and works. Of course I was not dumb to not understand his profession or responsibility. Albert was sad but he knew the
