Emma's arms were wrapped around him in a firm grip, there wasn't even a slight space between them. Though Adrian didn't return the hug, standing there with indifference, that didn't stop the churn in my stomach and the tightness in my chest. Noticing me at the doorstep, she jerked away from him. Crimson colored her cheeks, her eyes went wide. But not even a muscle of Adrian's features moved, as stoic as ever. Though those electric blue pools pierced me with an anonymous emotion lurking around them. "H-hey!" Emma's meek voice snatched my attention. Shifting on her legs, she cleared her throat. "Uh, I will take my leave now. See you later."  Wiping her cheeks, while passing me, she stopped for a moment.  She was crying? "It isn't what you're thinking it is. It was just an innocent hug. I- I just needed some comfort. Please don't misunderstand me," she explained. 

Slicing the tomato in the middle, I then cut it into cubes while still lost in deep thoughts. Everything has turned more messy and suspicious. Things weren't as simple as I thought they were. Something major was going on. Some grievous secrets were lurking behind the darkness. But I just couldn't reach out to it no matter how much I endeavored. Robert was one of the most trusted men of Dad, his right hand. He has been there for us all our life. I couldn't just accuse him on the basis of my perchance theory. But after whatever I saw...  He was definitely making Jenna do something against her will. He was threatening her. Whilst Jenna's behavior was also questionable. I didn't even know when she returned to the city, nor did her Mom. I asked Marie when she arrived this evening for our family dinner with others. She was actually surprised when Mom mentioned that Jenna dropped b

Son? What? But how? How was it possible? Adrian hated criminals, and Sinister was the mafia himself. Almost the entire underworld moved with his orders. There was no way they could be related. Especially not father and son. While I stood there, gaping at the totally unexpected turn of the situation, Adrian on the other hand stayed calm; ominously calm. "What are YOU doing here?" His tone was low, dangerously low that sent chills down my spine. But Sinister Petrosyan's expression remained blank, void of any emotions.  No matter how much I wanted to deny, now that I looked closely, I could find the resemblances. Similar electric blue eyes and dense dark hair I was so familiar with. And their behavior definitely proved of them being aware of each other's existences. "Answer me! Why the hell are you here?!"  I f

"Max, trust me! I saw them with my own eyes! Robert has the envelope Dad is looking for."   A shake of head. "You must be mistaken, Sofia. I'm not implying that you're lying, but it must be something else. Robert is the most reliable man of Dad. So it's not possible for him to betray us. And there isn't only one manila envelope in this entire world for God's sake!"   And he didn't believe me. I knew, saying something this major against Robert without any solid proof would be foolishness, but weren't my words enough?    I was saying what I witnessed.   I didn't get to speak to Dad, he stormed out of the house before I could even say a word. So I decided to inform Max instead. But here he was thinking that I was terribly mistaken.   "And what about Jenna sneaking into Dad's office? Her avoiding me since I caught her red handed? And those papers went missing all of a sudden aft

Adrian's POV  "Is she alright?" I asked one of the guards I ordered to keep an eye on my tigress. "Yes, Mr. Larsen, she is fine." His reply came through my Bluetooth. I let out a sigh of relief.  In between handling the journalists' questions, she somehow slipped away from my sight. The last time I saw her was approximately seven minutes ago, standing alone at a corner. Not only it was her safety that concerned me, there was something else in those beautiful green eyes that bothered me.  My tigress was throwing daggers at me just a while ago, but then her mood took a u-turn.  "Mr. Larsen, what do you want to say about the incident that happened in Toronto?"  Another stupid question was thrown by one of the reporters. "Is it true that you're going to sign a business deal with the Saudi
