chapter eleven

Adams’ POVAfter Kehan had acted like someone who had seen a ghost, which I wouldn’t put past him with all I’ve seen these past few hours, he left the conference hall like the devil was at his heels. The rest of the team sighed and relaxed, attempting to sleep except Orion. Orion hadn’t slept much, neither did I . Not when the image of that cold body and the obsidian obsidian blade ran rent free in my mind. Another thing that bugged was how Kehan had looked when he touched it - tense, like the thing spoke to him. Jessica had attempted to lighten the mood with but failed. The Azurite redevelopment Project was damn near starting to sound like a curse. The only thing keeping me hopeful being news from my contact. I had left out the part about Charles being suspected to eat flesh earlier, though. There were times and places for these things. It was hard to function come morning after gruesome physical labour and thirty minutes of sleep. I could probably get knocked off my feet by the w

Kehan’s POVOf all the things I have done since coming into limelight as CEO, putting Adams in charge of finding Lianne seemed the most right. I couldn’t be more proud of him than I was at the moment Lianne had walked in with evidence. I’ll admit I assumed Lianne was in on whatever was going on. That was a safe assumption considering. But somehow, Adams had found someone who was in hiding and didn’t want to be found.Detective Rhys had taken care of the rest after that. It was starting to become a headache at the point and I was starting to wonder if it would ever end. The movies I had watch and Isaac’s guides had made the whole CEO position seem like it is fun time once you gain the position – like all your problems are solved. Boy, was I in for a treat!It has been from one issue to another. Not that I expected solutions to easily fall into my lap on a platter. But it wouldn’t be so hard for things to sail easier, considering it only gets harder from here. At least that’s what I’ve

Adams POVFrom the moment those bozos walked in, I knew it would get to this. I had worried a bit when instead of standing his ground, Kehan had asked us to leave instead, assigning me a task that felt like a fool’s errand. Jessica had dragged me out by my belt as I held two fingers to my eyes then pointed it at the two men. I had to go on site to check what was going on at azurite.The dust was yet to even settled from the murder investigation, but another storm had picked up momentum and rolled in. With the Simon Pryce case ending with an officially close and Minders now behind bars, we... Well, I, had thought we might just be at the light at the end of a tunnel. Alas! It was a firefly.Instead, we took a hit from a different angle. The deputy mayor had definitely dived in like a hungry vulture circling a half-dead carcass, reaping where he didn’t sow. He wasn’t really interested in justice or the building in itself, I mean it was worth a lot but not enough to go through this ted

Chapter FourteenKehan’s POV“Kehan, I think Adams is missing.”That had been Jessica’s welcome to me three days ago after meeting with the deputy. I didn’t panic. No. It wasn’t the right time to panic, I knew something like this will happen.I learnt two things from meeting him. Foremost, he had no scruples whatsoever. Second. He’s desperate... for whatever reason he wanted access to Azurite. He had wanted to “negotiate terms of surrender to government and if I won’t want compensation in anyway.”Kidnapping Adams or any other worker, to make me see reason isn’t exactly beyond him. In fact, I anticipated something like this. I just thought it would take a bit more time for him. I had underestimated his desperation. Carrying out such evil act on the site made things worse and further proved the deputy would do anything to have azurite.I paced the floor of my penthouse suite. Orion from legal and Rita from PR had advised against getting the police involved if we want to keep Azurite. I

KehanI blinked back strong light the moment I came to, or a semblance of it.“Alex?” I called at the face that swam into view and the face smiled at me and held my hands before I slipped into the darkness all over again.A king had once said ‘heavens raise a king for the people’ or something corny like that. I probably heard it from a corny movie. A corny line from a corny movie. But that was exactly what had happened the day I had been rescued from that hell incarnate. The heavens had brought me a queen in the shape of my best girl, Jessica. And then a king… Alex?No, Kehan, my brain corrected, slowly coming conscious.“All of these peering, ugly ass faces better be a nightmare, that’s the only explanation for…” I gestured to all of them as my body groaned and protested. “…this.”They all laughed and asked a variant of how I was doing and such. I smiled and nodded in response to them. Some faces, I know well. A few, I know vaguely or in passing, never got to interact with them - yet
