I had to stay in bed for a few day since the shock affected my nerves. I remember getting an earful from Tin about going out on my own into dangerous waters (air quotes.).
She said that my anger was never going to get me anywhere and against Hugo, he was definitely going to use it against me.
After that she put me off work and made sure that I was resting at all times.
It's been 3 days since my encounter with Hugo and I was dying to talk to someone about it. I picked up my phone and called both Susan and Stephanie to come over, that is without Tina finding out.
A few hours later I heard a knock on my door, I took my cane and walked over to open the door and there they were.
"I came here as fast as I could, what do you need." Stephanie said chocking me in a hug.
"You sent for me sensie." Susan said standing b

*Warning: Mature content ahead...After the two had cried their eyes out they cuddled up close to each other with intertwined hands, Adira's head on Ashton's shoulder and the atmosphere serene, nicely folded in a vulnerable blanket... Ashton kept rubbing back on Adira's hair as they enjoyed the silence making Adira feel at peace for the first time in a while, so she began to wonder."Ashton?""Hmm?""Did you see what I did to that man in the alley?" Ashton's hand stopped midway for a second and Adira almost regretted asking when he replied."Yes, yes I did. For the end part though." Ashton answered brushing Adira's long thick black hair down her back."You hesitated." Adira chuckled lightly but sad, "but then, why are you still here?" Ashton thought about it, it wasn't like he didn't know who she was, he just didn't get a glimpse of her past. He wanted to know the present Adira and that was all the reason enough.When Adira felt Ashton's hesitation again, it crushed her but she didn
*"Mister?"Ashton turned his head to look for the little voice which had called out to him before he felt a little tug on his trousers.He looked down between his legs to find a familiar little girl standing in front of him,"Lily?" The little girl's eyes grew in amazement and wonder at hearing her name from the young man. "You know my name?" The little girl asked excitedly.Ashton smiled and sat up to listen to the little girl properly with a smile, the girl raised her arms as if wanting to be carried, confused Ashton did just that hoping she wouldn't cry."Now what does this sweet little girl want from this old man?" "You're not old, you're Adira's friend." Ashton smiled."I'm glad you think of me that way." "Thank you for taking care of Adira and for coming back," Lily said."Coming back?" Ashton asked confused and Lily nodded like he would understand what she meant."Could you explain that for me, please Lily?" She nodded and tapped his arm twice to come down when she was in fr
*Adira assigned a room to Peter while Ashton recovered in their infirmary, he would be staying as long as Ashton was and it would be nice for Phillip to have someone to talk to even if they practically hated each other.It's already been a week since they arrived and now, Adira had to explain to the rest of the house why they had men living in the manor.But before that, Adira needed to finally face Tina. She was caught the same day Hugo was put out if service, a fake location was leaked about Hugo's whereabout and that was how they caught Tina.She's been in their custody since then.After Adira's talk with Peter she decided it was time to let a mother go take care of her son, as much as she despised the family, she would not be the monster they wanted her to be.During the rebuild of the manor, Adira added a few changes to make things a little more interesting. Above were the lives of every member of the house and below h
*Since returning to the manor, Adira had not been able to return home, although her nightmares were less frequent now it still felt strange sleeping within the Wong mansion.It wasn't a problem when she slept with Stephanie in her room and right now she had no idea who she was sleeping with but it feels like she's drained every atom of exhaustion from her body.She felt a strong arm around her as she blinked her eyes open, she couldn't remember the last time she felt comfortable in a man's embrace, she stared up at his face, he was also asleep.From where she was, should see how long his eye lashes were, how pink his lips were and hoped for them on hers. For once in her life, she felt complete again. Who knows what would have happened of Ashton hadn't shown up, she got her revenge, what next? But Ashton was here now, she would take some time off for herself and of course to take care of him, since obviously she shot him so it was
*A month later and Hugo is still nowhere to be found, the tracking team was always on his tale but for some strange reason he always evaded them like he knew they were after him.That night, before Adira could confront him Hugo split the scene. According to Melody, some unknown woman might have tipped him off on what was going on.Thankfully, Melody had already planted the mini microbot in his drink thus them being able to track him down. But alas, nothing lasts forever, it was only a matter of time before those bots were ingested and the signal lost.Aside from all that, the girls were successful, they managed to take over another gang and subdue it's men and thankfully, all 25 of them made it back no casualties recorded.Adira sat in her office waiting for some good news, by now the manor was filled with less people as the older kids had gone back to their daily lives. Stephanie was there for her during these times but it seemed as if Tina was becoming mo
