Adele's POV
"Ade!" Victor called me softly. I admit his handsome features and magnetic voice sometimes makes me shiver.
Stupid! You are married!!
To that husband who never appeared!
Meeting him was better than meeting a mafia gang leader though....
I shook my head to clear all the stupid thoughts. I looked at him with a smile.
"I don't think it is a good idea to move alone at least now. You may have risks." His voice was not so friendly neither so scary.
He is right! There is a serious risk. Last night I was so scary. I don't know what will I do it someone bothers me without any reason. But I needed then to reach me. After all, they will lead me to that 'Sam'.
I was so happy when they chased me.
Stupid man! Ruined everything.
"Err...actually I just joined a new job yesterday. Can't take leave today. So....." That was a great excuse.
"That's risky." His tone was colder than before.
Overbearing!
"I can manage." I said annoyingly. I never listened to others, not even my family. Then I wouldn't be here to become someone's unwanted bride.
"So stubborn. " He commented.
"Since childhood." I smirked. I could sense his anger. He just huffed being annoyed.
"Where will I drop you?" He asked irritatingly.
"To the race track. My porsche is still there." I smiled sweetly. I am sure he wanted to tear my mouth to get rid of that forced smile.
After dropping me there, he looked at me carefully. Sighing a little he said, "Take care. I will manage everything. They won't bother you."
Seriously!!Then how would I reach my gaol??!
But nothing to do. He won't leave them. After all, a mafia king got attacked. But I think we need to meet again. His whole team just got in a rush because of no reason.
After bidding him goodbye, I took the car to my apartment and parked it. It was my playmate, my courage evertime I feel myself alone. It was the only thing from which I ask for time.
I went to my apartment and freshened up.. All the incidents last night didn't give me a chance to breath. When got ready for office, I sensed some people's presence nearby. I was actually confused. Wasn't that party still facing yesterday's consequences? Then who would be the people to bother me now?
When I reached the drawing room, I found a black suited handsome man in his 20's followed by another blad waiting for me. So I was right! They broke into my house. How did they managed to get my password?!
"Excuse me, who are you? How did you get in?" I asked raised an eyebrow.
"Adele Wilson. Age 21. Recently resigned from Woods Group of Companies. Right?"
Hey man!!! You broke into my house and asking for my confirmation?
"Seems like you have come after research. But please update yourself. I've got a new job." I said with a smirk.
Seriously! How could they took it out of list when it was the first time I used someone's recommendation letter?
"Doesn't matter. You need to go with us. Boss sent us for you." He stated.....kinda softly?
Boss? Now who the hell was his boss?? But seriously these two will take me??!
"Only you two?" I asked for confirmation.
"Believe in our strength. We are enough to take you from here. But we don't want to force you. Come with us or else...." He couldn't even finish I snorted, " Else what?? Will you kidnap me?"
Does he know what's he going to suffer by kidnapping me? Nobody wants want bad for ownself.
"You can say that." He was confident.
I'm not quite sure about that. But I was confirm, I'm going to miss my office on the second day only because of him. Correction, because of his boss. I seriously want to meet that boss, whose people are capable enough to break into my apartment.
"Going to office. Come after the office hours end. Then I will think about it.I don't want to get fired just after joining." But what to do? I was stubborn since childhood.
"Then I think we need to take you forcefully. " He smirked.
I huffed in annoyance. If he is that irritating, I wonder what a piece of work his boss would be!
Didn't I just say interesting?
Well interesting and irritating both!
"Look it's not that I don't want to go with you. I just need to go to office. If I lose the job, someone will kill me. Believe me, I will get a tsunami. Try to understand. If I lose the job, what will I eat then??" I think it was fun to irritate him."You are too stubborn. I'm sorry I need to force you now." He sighed.
"Seriously! Don't you think you are too polite? Asking permission before kidnapping!" I was seriously impressed by his behaviour. He started to come towards me. I didn't know what to do actually. He was just staring at his actions. When he was just one feet away from me, I noticed some cards came from nowhere before he could do anything and attacked on their spine. Both of them fell on the ground.
Shit! I was afraid of this.
I'm screwed. Now I am going to get scolded.
But before I could get anything, I started to doze off.
Ten months later Shot! Shot! Shot! Alexandra ran all the way to reach the staircase as she found a thug was firing from that place. She got a new case of diamond smuggling and she was determined to stop it. She was ready with Richardo duos. She was about to shoot that thug but found a card hit his hand from behind for which the gun fell on the floor. "Darn it!" She cursed and shot twice at the direction.from where the card came. But not wasting time, she ran after the thug. Adam found his way to meet the card thrower and it turned out to be the card specialist Robert Knight. Alexandra was running after the thug but suddenly bumped into a hard wall. She raised her head to find Albert in mafia attire. "Fuck!" She cursed loudly. She looked b
Albert was feeling so relaxed yet stressed at the same time. It felt good to get a family back. Again he took a huge responsibility not knowing even if he was eligible for it or not. He noticed something has changed in Adele. She was looking so calm and composed unlike times when she opened up herself. Sitting next to her laptop lazily in the bed, she kept checking some important files. "You are not even working, what are you really thinking?" Albert asked curiously as he noticed her unmindfulness. Adele didn't say anything. She could only sigh. "I am sorry." Albert raised his head to look at her. What was the apology for? "Pardon?" "I'm sorry, Albert." She closed the laptop and bit her lips. "Why are you saying sorry? Did anything happen?" Albert
"Are you okay?" Alexandra asked in a low voice. Jacob got injured because of escaping from the car. He was taken to the hospital by them. Licas and Alexandra reached there almost immediately.Jacob lifted his hand a little to touch her head. Brushing fingers on her skin, he felt the warmth reached to his heart. It was his daughter whom he never got close to him. He loved her but never could say that. Unknowingly a drop of tear fell from his eyes. He didn't cry for a long time. Only he cried in front of his wife. She was gone taking all of his tears away. Now there came his children, who could make him emotional.He nodded a little with a small smile. He was really happy. He got his family back, with him. They even saved him. No matter how much they hated him, they still had a soft corner for him."Are you angry with me?" He asked in a shaky voice. He knew the answer.
Adele's POV"Nathan Lan? Or should I say Alessandro Colombo?" I looked into his eyes. It was giving me devilish pleasure seeing him tied up helpless, at our mercy. I couldn't believe it when I called him 'Brother Nathan'. I liked him so much. He was like my family. I believed him all my life.Fuck him!Fuck to that belief I had on him. He's a bloody betrayer. He betrayed my emotions. I was a freakin fool to believe him. Suddenly I found I caused a lot of trouble in my family. My stubbornness just gave them a hard time. My fucking belief led Elora to a danger. I am hopeless."Adele Wilson, you are such an idiot. Took so long to understand." He was laughing like a devil, which he really was. Xavier was his peopl
Adele's POV Lucas seemed tense. His hands were cold when I touched it. I couldn't understand what he was afraid of. But one thing for sure, he was guilty. The whole family was giving him cold shoulder from then except Sil. If it was not Albert, I would have misunderstood him too. He had nothing to do in all these. He was just forced to listen to the commands and he could only do that. "Amber…." I heard Sil's blurry voice suddenly. Maybe she woke up from sleep. She was never a late riser but maybe emotional breakdown and mental tiredness made her sleep until noon today. But what about her office? It's not a weekend. "Sil, did you get a day off?" I asked curiously when she started to get and leaned on the headboard. "She was not feeling good. So I just called Adam and informed she won't be in her office today. She needs rest. She
Albert was sitting there in a daze. He couldn't think straight. Sitting in the middle of the bed, he was lost in thoughts. Adele was feeling a little guilty. After all her cousin did so bad to him. He knew it still never complained. He loved her without any hesitation."Albert." She called and sat beside him. She patted his shoulder a little, "I'm sorry. I knew Jacob Smith was your father but I didn't inform you.""It's okay. He's scary. Good thing you didn't pick up a fight with him." Albert leaned on her shoulder. He was feeling vulnerable. He was broken inside."I'm sorry, I didn't know Lucas….." She sighed.Albert shook his head with her words, "Don't blame him. He had nothing to do. He was forced like me. But I'm wondering why he took all of the blame on his shoulder. Why didn't he protest?"
