บททั้งหมดของ ADONIS SECRET : บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

"A simple I love you means more than money."-Frank Sinatra-***Irina was smart enough to read Vian’s expression the moment she spotted Carson and knowing their history together, Irina knew right away if the two of them met there would be another set of disaster and drama. So before he could even reach them, Irina grabbed Vian’s hand and the two of them went back inside. She brought her to the ladies’ bathroom where they would hide for a bit as they waited for him to disappear. It did not take long, only lasted the two of them around ten minutes before they walked out from the bathroom and as expected they had lost him.“That was really close.” Vian breathed in relief. Her face nearly paled. She really wished to have absolutely nothing to do with him. Whenever that man was around, terrible things would happen and she was not going to let him ruin her mood.“Thank you for dragging me out

"Accept the terrible responsibility of life with eyes wide open."-Jordan Peterson-***The hustling and bustling in the building was more intense than usual that day. All the staffs made sure the large meeting hall was prepared for all the guests who would arrived. These people were of importance, many major investors and stakeholders would come to join the meeting. They put out a bit of time out of their busy schedule just to be there and their time was expensive so everyone had to make sure everything was perfect.Adonis arrived a bit earlier since the traffic was not so bad that day. He walked in and was greeted by the receptionist. He asked who has come and the receptionist gave a full list of all the meeting guests who had arrived in there. He went through it and thought the majority had arrived, the meeting time was scheduled for another hour so he thought he would meet up with Filippe and earned some advices from him as w

"We've all got the blood in our hands. We only receive what we demand."-Jack Johnson-***Irina had just gotten back from home and she was surprised when she saw Adonis sitting in the living room. His facial expression was a bit dark, but it was not the kind derived from sorrow or anger. She took a step back when her eyes met Adonis. She was not sure why the man looked so serious but she had a bad feeling about it. She was making an attempt to walk away but before she could do so, Adonis stopped her with his words.“Stay where you are.” His voice was husky and cold. She had never heard the tone coming out from him when Vian was around but he was familiar with such tones from other men, for she had heard it before several times. She stopped in her track and turned to look at him.“What do you want? Aren’t you just waiting for Vian? I am not Vian so I wish to go back to my room right now.” She

"The secret of life is knowing what you want and asking for it."-Lailah Gifty Akita-***After the party, their grandmother had to return to the hospital once more because her health had started to become unstable again. Vian thought she should go and visit her at the hospital just to pay attention. That morning she took a day off from work just to go and visit Greta and much to her surprise, Adonis stated he would also come with her to the hospital.“Are you sure you want to do this?” Vian questioned because she felt a bit uneasy letting Adonis accompany her when he had works to do, but the man gently assured her that it was fine and he would not have too much things to catch up to even if he was to go with her.“I don’t want to leave you alone too much especially during these times, Vian. As your husband I am responsible for your security and I think lately things have been a bit fragile in the f

"Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us."-Boris Pasternak-***Everyone gathered around for Greta Sterling’s funeral. Of course, it was all mere formality and staged since no one actually cared for the old woman. It might not be shown straight to the face, but everyone secretly despised her. When she died, they all put fake facades, crying their fake tears and pretended to be good family members, but they were all just gazing each other as if they were staring at their enemies instead of family.The priest was speaking in the podium reading a few holy passages about how her soul would eventually be in heaven with the angels and all of her good deeds would be accepted by God and her legacy would forever be remembered by those around her when in reality everyone knew she was going to hell for all the pain she had inflicted upon others, not to mention all the underground dirty works she had invested in which de
