Chapter 12
? Adrian's POV?
"That girl is beautiful", Ruby commented on our way home.
"She really is. Just like Karen", I told her.
"I think you should clear your name off Karen's murder."
"What do you mean by that?"
"You know what I mean, Adrian. You do."
"Of course I do but I'm not sure."
"Follow your instincts girl. That's where your answer lies", she said and continued driving. "Training starts today. You'll go home and change and I'll take you to the training center."
"Why can't we train at home?", I asked.
"Oh! You want your Mum to chop off my head for harming her daughter, right?"
"My Mum is not like that, Ruby."
"Really? Have you met your Mum? She would kill anyone that tries to hurt her children. Even your Dad."
"Have you seen Dad before?"
"Your dad is a great man. He helped me through school. My parents couldn't send me and my brother to college but your Dad did and t

? Adrian's POV ?I woke up feeling really tired. It feels like my bones are broken due to the training the day before. Thank God it's Saturday. I can't bring myself to go to school. I opened my eyes reluctantly and I noticed I was not in my room. I slept in Aiden's."Are you kidding me? You guys are still in bed. This is 11 o'clock", Mum shouted as soon as she came into the room. "Now get up." She pulled the cover."Mummy. Today is Saturday. Let's just sleep a little bit more", Aiden said and I totally agreed with him."Mum, just go to work. We'd be fine", I said dragging my words."I took the day off to spend sometime with the both of you. Now up", she said this time hitting us very hard. "Lazy bones."Aiden and I groaned out of frustration but we got up. I went to my room to bath. I lie in the tub for long that I didn't even realize how many minutes I used in there."Adrian, how many minutes does it take you to bath? You've been in

? Adrian's POV ?Mum fainted."Cassie!", Dad called and rushed over to mum's side."Mum!", Aiden and I shouted but Mum wasn't responding."Someone get the ambulance!", Dad shouted to no one is particular and Aiden picked his phone to make the call. " Cassie", Dad called again.The ambulance arrived and Mum was carried to the hospital. Dad, Aiden and I took a car and followed the ambulance to the hospital.We waited outside the emergency ward for the doctors to be through with attending to Mum. None of us could say a word, we just stood waiting. I was silently sending prayers above for my Mum to be safe.The doctor, a man probably in his late fifties with brown hair having a few strands of grey and putting on a lab coat, came over and we moved closer to him."How is she?", Dad asked impatiently."Calm down, Mr Kendall. Your wife is perfectly okay. She just had a heart attack but it's just a minor one. She is currently asle

? Anthony's POV?Adrian looked at me with glassy eyes and she ran off. I just can't believe she beat me up. Wonderful! I wanted to stand up but couldn't. I felt pain all over my body.Aiden and Adam came over to my side to help me up."I'm sorry about that", Aiden said."It's okay but what did I do? I don't understand.""Let's get you cleaned up first. You look horrible", Aiden said and Adam chuckled."What's funny?", I raised an eyebrow."I can't just believe you got beaten by a girl.""Ha ha. So funny", I said with a high level of sarcasm. I started walking and with every step I took, it's like my bones are broken. We went to the school clinic since we were still in the school premises. The nurse cleaned my wounds and gave me some drugs to use. I went back to the changing room and changed back to my clothes."So, will you tell me what that was all about?", I asked Aiden.He sighed and said. "You might want to sit

"Get up, it's time for school.""Twenty more minutes?", I asked tucking my head into the pillow."No. Get up", he said and hit me with a pillow."Okay. I will", I said and stood up to bath."Good girl", he said patting my back and left the room.My head was pounding. I drank too much yesterday. I got into the shower and had a refreshing hot bath. I dressed up really quick and went downstairs for breakfast."Didn't you sleep well?", Mum asked as soon as I got to the dining room."I did. Why did you ask?", That's obviously a lie. I didn't sleep early because I was thinking about that man and when I finally was able to sleep, Aiden was already there to wake me up."Your eyes are puffy." Oh! I didn't use any makeup."Oh. I'm just stressed.""Don't think about anything. You would be safe. I promise", Dad spoke up.

? Adrian's POV ?"What?", Dad asked in disbelief."Dad please. I promise to be careful", I pleaded."No you are not going anywhere", Dad insisted. "Aren't you scared? There is someone out there that is bent on killing you and he said he won't stop until he does and you are telling me you want to go on a date tomorrow. Adrian please, I can't risk it", he said calmly."Dad, I'm not scared anymore. I was scared before and the fear got me nowhere. That's what he want, Dad. He wants us to be scared of him and we shouldn't give that to him. Dad can't you see what he is doing to us?"Dad sighed knowing that I'm right. "Okay, you can go but with bodyguards."I know he won't accept me going without bodyguards so I agreed. "Yes, Dad", I said and hugged him. "I love you.""I love you too princess but you have to be extremely careful."I'll be careful Dad", I said and went out of the study.I went to my room and saw Aiden sitting on

? Adrian's POV ?"What are you thinking about?", Aiden asked walking into my room."Lots of things", I replied staring outside through the window and holding my teddy close to my chest."You wanna talk about it?"I sighed. "Okay. I'm just worried about Frank. I wonder what's gonna happen. I'm feeling uneasy like something big is coming.""You don't have to worry yourself. Frank will be given an appropriate punishment for his actions and your name would be cleared. And you'd be fine. I promise you. I won't let anything happen to you."I smiled dryly. "I know I'm just still scared.""Don't be. How was the yesterday's date?""It was nice", I said smiling. "We are a couple already.""What?!""You heard me, Aid", I said rolling my eyes."Woah! That's incredible. Who would have thought you guys can be friends not to talk about dating?""What do you mean?""I thought you guys hate each other.""Just shut

Things will work out in your favor", he smiled reassuring."Okay", I said and we got down from the car.We entered into the court room and I sat between Mum and Dad. We waited for some minutes and Frank was brought in accompanied by 2 policemen. As soon as he entered, he looked around and his eyes landed on mine. It has been long I have seen him and he hasn't changed a bit since when I saw him except for his haircut. He smiled at me and I felt myself tense. His smile held many unsaid words and I was scared. Dad squeezed my hand from beside me and I looked away from Frank and to Dad. Dad smiled dryly at me and I felt relieved.We waited for some minutes and the judge came in. We stood up when the registrar called "arise" to honor the judge. After we greeted him, we sat and Frank looked at me again.The regis

I looked back briefly and noticed he was closer and I continued running. I almost ran into a tree but I continued."Stop running. There's no choice for you", he shouted but I didn't listen.I continued running and I saw Aiden running towards me from the right."Continue running, Adrie. I will distract him."I shook my head. "No. I can't-""Promise me!", He shouted making me flinch."I promise", I said and went back to my running."I love you, Adrie. Just know that", I heard him shout. Just like two seconds later, I heard gunshot and looked back. The scene in front of me shocked me.
