Adair looks at Stoll staring at him from last 20 mins, just eyeing him not moving his mouth. After who knows how long he said something beyond his imagination “you look more like him” ‘-‘ “hmm?”
“Father you look more like him, I am not interested in politics do you know what makes me join?” “Your greed” Adair said without thinking it was something he knows from last 10 years
Stoll just Smiled like adult do when Child say something casually “On the second day after your mother died, he came to me and beg me to replace him, he said it is his dream and as his eldest son I have to do it” Stoll said slowly he looks at Adair’s face who is similar to his father and bow his head as he continues.
“Once he arrested the biggest Arm dealer but after investigation, he got knows the real mastermind is someone from Politics, as an Army he can’t investigate that’s why he decided to join Politics, Grandfather was also politician so it was easy for him to enter but that accident” he finished with great sight.
Adair is little shocked as he always thinks Stoll did this because of greed “come to study I will give you something” without any words Adair just follows, his is still in shock because his 10 years judgement was wrong about his brother.
In study there was file in the middle of table with some dust like no one touched it for many years.
“This is what you want but you have to promise me something” with this Stoll wait for Adair to response.
“First tell me I can’t promise blindly” Adair said his tone carry some respectfulness for Stoll as his way of thinking changed for him only in some mins.
“You will not open this file till you are able to handle all of presidential work, and never mix your personal work with your responsibilities and the last you can choose not to promise but” after a pause he continued “try not to kill her she was also cheese piece someone handling her from behind the scene”
After completing what he wanted to say from last 10 years, the huge burden on his shoulder lightens a lot. Now he is going to sleep. Wait!
“Tomorrow morning is election only 19 hours; what are you going to do” Now Stoll remember he is tricked by his younger brother how can one change result in just 19 hours shit.
“Get ready to welcome me as a next President” Adair said cunningly like he already planned everything just need to implement it.
Late at night more than one in morning a two-story house is abnormally silent, the house is small and low-key but luxurious and heavily guarded. A man completed clothed in black not even showing his eyes, just two small circle is there for seeing, he jumped to first floor balcony like he is trained for this, with just single sweep two bodyguard lay on ground in a mere second.
With second jump he is now on second floor’s balcony which connect master bedroom he lightly opens glass door and looked at the man lying on bed deep in sleep with small steps man in black make his way to the man. when the man on bed opens his eyes suddenly.
Election day
“Where the hell that brat go, what you guys with this bugling body doing their” Ford smashed everything in living room whatever he can all the bodyguards keeling in front some of them were bleeding also like Ford smash that expansive vas over them
“Tell me what you saw, do anyone knows when he left his house” Gatlin is missing as a president candidate if today he will not show everything every afford is going to waste.
“No, he did not come, even his room was locked from inside, this morning when he did not come out, we knocked for long time at last we had to open it forcefully, he was not there but” with this that bodyguard don’t know how to continue “speak” Ford roar smashing ashtray on bodyguard.
“Balcony was wide open there were no sign of fighting at all, seems like he runaway” after some moment Ford said silently “go and search every corner of this city I want him back before result, and bring that special maid in my room”
It is almost Afternoon media is screaming for Gatlin’s presence some have announced that he was afraid that’s why he runway. Even some have made memes saying Gatlin is a coward, running from responsibilities.
After some minute a maid came, it was the same one from garden. “Sir how can I help you” Looking at maid face Ford showed a smile and ask very gently “you look so thin are they not giving you enough food”
Ford slowly hugged her in his arms memorizing her figure she is 43 years old but still tender not chubby like other females turns in their forties. Ford let her sit with him in his bed tightly holding her waist, inhaling her natural scent “did he told you where he is?” maid was slightly trembling but still said firmly “No, and even if he said I will never tell you”.
Ford was annoyed raised his hand to hit her “you can beat me, just prepare a valid reason what you will tell him about my injury” her eyes are full of hate she feared but still dare to fight. “This is the thing what I love about you” he smiled, deep in his heart he knows Gatlin will never leave after all he have his 2 weak point under his hands.
On other side only Adair and Stoll were present in election centre because Gatlin is still missing Ford is busy finding him so. This make no. of votes increase for Adair as he is only present which shows Adair is more reliable than Gatlin, at least he is not afraid to face new challenges.
During 1 in evening election finished there is 4 hours for result announcement. Adair said to Stoll “You can rest, I have something to do so, I will come back before announcement” with this Adair ride his car to army base. As the army base is safest place Adair let his bodyguards rest there, he himself drives to his condo in army.
Adair live here for 10 years before that it was also his mother and father’s second house so he resigned but still have his condo remains he can come and go anytime he wanted. This Army base is his territory.
He opens the door with key enter in living room drop his coat then goes to bedroom, he saw a man tightly tied to bed opened his eyes and was looking at him with some confusion.
Before 5 mins he woke up and realise he is in unfamiliar room all he remembers was last night he felt someone’s present in his room, he saw a man in black near his bed but his body was too weak to move and did not remember anything after that but now seeing Adair in front he have idea what is going. Adair put the chair near his bed and said lightly “last night I realise your sleep is very shallow you did not have peaceful sleep, how about now how was your sleep?” Adair said with smile as a special army officer that was just very easy for him. After long time not getting any reply Adair realise Gatlin’s mouth is covered with tape, he removed it and also said something “I let someone spread that you runaway because you are afraid of huge responsibility, that increase my no. of vote” Adair so Gatlin moving his mouth but no voice came “ohh, this should be drug’s side effect” Adair offer a glass of water, he himself serves him to drink. “You are coward Adair, you
Session going to held at 9:00am everyone reached in advance to welcome their new president and vice president, they still held their hope in Gatlin, a person as excellent as Gatlin everyone wants him. At 8:30am Adair reached with his assistance, his name is Ross, Ross followed Adair from army to politics, he is one of his trusted people. As time approaching Ford become more and more uneasy when everyone though Gatlin will not come, Gatlin enter with his assistance, he apologetically said to everyone present “I am sorry for not presenting yesterday, I wanted to visit my grandfather, but got in an accident” there were mark on his face like he bumped on something, may be to prove it’s an accident he did it himself. Then he looked at Adair, there is a smile on his lips, it’s very shallow but Gatlin can see it at glance, Adair’s eyes on his body is completely different, why does he feel like Adair is a bad boy and he some little girl whom Adair is looking w
Gatlin having a hard time handling Keller who is drooling over Adair she is like fan a girl after her superstar, he has to hug her lightly to stop her hovering over Adair when he saw his saviour Stoll. Stoll also come to say hello to Mr. Gasper, Stoll is Mr. Gasper’s favourite grandson he is very happy after seeing him. Keller left Gatlin and stick to Stoll everyone knows that after Carter, Stoll also spoils her and Gatlin knows Stoll’s can help her talk to Adair that’s why she is sticking to him. After thinking something Gatlin again hugs Keller’s waist and said in her ear “let’s check if your Mr. crush will feel jealous”, Gatlin has seen Adair’s behaviour he is thinking Adair did that because he likes Keller. Before Adair say something, Stoll asked “grandfather I have to say hello to others and also have to help Adair to know others I will take my leave first” with this he politely withdraws. Gatlin wanted to see Adair’s reaction, before him Stoll left so he also w
After that day everyone got busy with their own works its more than 3 months Adair did not bother Gatlin again nor he asked Stoll who is the person he loves, it’s not easy to become president. Gatlin is also busy Ford wants him to handover his company to Ashford, as what he needs is to do some paper work which is no hard work, but Gatlin transfer his company’s temporary ownership to Keller. He believes Keller and she is experienced and also from a very young age she is helping her father managing his company. “Keller, I think it’s right time you should try to make your relation good with Adair” Gatlin advice, Adair didn’t bother him now but there is no guarantee for future, “how advice something” Keller also wants to do same but it’s not that easy. “How about ask Stoll he will help you”, right now Stoll is the only person whom Adair care or respect. And whom he can trust with Keller, Keller is really a smart girl in terms of business but in emotional world she is a big fool.
Adair was really busy handling nation, he have no time to do anything, Today Stoll asked him to meet in his suburb villa. After Adair shifted to president’s residence, as a president he can’t live where he used to. Stoll also shift to his villa, he felt peace there. More than 8 in evening Adair got free time to do some personal things, without eating he left for Stoll’s villa on the way in car Ross is reporting him about some bill which wanted to pass, Vice president already accepted it he also have to do signatures in them “Sir, This Gatlin is really something, just in three months Country A’s economy increased by 12% before him even Finance Minister wasn’t able to do this short of development” There was a bill Gatlin passed for the international Traders to increase their interest in Country A and that plan worked it’s a truth to say only a business man can manage economy wisely. “Haven’t you seen his achievements from last 6 years in business, he is a brilliant bus
When they reached everyone was already present there. Gatlin and Keller both come to Adair to wish and give gifts. Today neither Gatlin hugs Keller nor Keller hugs his arm they are normal, Gatlin don’t want to make Adair angry or jealous so he keeps safe distance between himself and Keller. But what he forgets is the mark on his neck, that mark is very shallow one need to observe carefully to see that mark but Adair who was special solider have a sharp eye, he was trained for this. Its takes only a second for Adair to observe that nail mark. He has some love affairs and same type of nail mark was remained when he forcefully occupied Gatlin before so, he understands what is going on, he doesn’t know why but there is a fire burning in his heart he wanted to burn Gatlin in that fire. Gatlin saw Adair’s eyes stuck on his neck then only he realised that he forgets to cover it and looking at Adair’s burning eyes with anger he just wants Keller to tell truth to Adair now, h
On other hand Gatlin is in very good mood he came out spoke something to his one of bodyguard’s ear and left for the hall, its late there were only few guests remains others left, Stoll is busy seeing off everyone and Keller stupidly looking for Adair everywhere Gatlin can guess from Adair’s reaction that Keller didn’t tell him her feelings, his bodyguard came and gave Gatlin a small box wrap with sprinkling paper looks very beautiful. Gatlin called Keller “Keller, Adair is in room 2011 he called you there and also give him this gift from my side, I am leaving and don’t want to disturb you and him” there was an ambitious smile on his lips, there is different glow on his face but Keller didn’t notice that, she is happy hearing Adair is waiting for her. After sending Keller, Gatlin didn’t wait he don’t want see their love story being complete after losing his virginity so he also left, after saying hello to Stoll. Keller goes to the room Gatlin mentions, there
“Is everything alright” Gatlin asked lightly, he know whenever Keller felt sad, she likes to be alone, but this place he can’t let her stay. Firstly, Keller is starter then sensing it’s Gatlin she again become silent, Gatlin also silently accompany her sitting beside her. After very long time Keller said “Adair, he has someone he likes”. Gatlin didn’t believe he himself had experienced Adair’s jealously for Keller “Maybe he doesn’t wanted show you, or is upset about our relationship” If Adair did not love Keller, then why he did that to him. “He said I am like his elder sister, from childhood to now he respected me and treated me like an elder sister, Gatlin I know I am not good at emotional things but his eyes, he is really in love, he loves someone more then I loved him” when she is telling there was a bitter smile on her face, she is trying very hard not to cry and look carefree but a single drop of tear spill from her eyes. “Gatlin, I should leave now” Ga
