Adele's POV      "Adele!" I noticed Mariah was looking paler than before. I know she needed to work harder because of my absence. But I had no other options. One after another attack was chasing me. I didn't get time to come here.     "How are you? How have you been? Do you know how much I tried to find you? But you vanished just like magic." I found her concerned tone and eyes moist. She hugged me so tightly that I could feel the same sense of warmth.     "I'm okay. Just a little accident happened back then." I smiled bitterly not knowing how to explain all these. I've never told her about my family background nor my marital status. She just knew nothing about me.     "Are you hurt? Was it serious?" She started to panic. I sighed in my mind. Long time anyone except my family cared for me like this. This meant so much to me.  

"Are you okay? You were hurt. Why did you agree to go car racing?" Lucas was concerned about Alexandra's health. But he was more concerned about the truth of their relationship. It was nothing to digest in seconds. Jacob looked at Lucas with a smirk. That man was concerned about his wife over his father in law.   Good!   "She was the one to propose about car racing. Don't scold me." Jacob's look was playful yet it contained a stern and waring tone in the depth. Lucas didn't know whether to laugh or cry but for sure he needed to pay for it later.   "Come on, Lucas! I'm okay." She wanted to assure him.   "Talk less. Your cheeks are not fully recovered." He rolled his eyes. Jacob was looking at the couple with an affec

Adele's POV   Can I call myself a sadist? Why am I feeling so much enjoyment seeing that man suffer? Well, he deserved to suffer. He tried to attack us on the car racing track. He helped those kidnappers of sil to escape. Though he was the sacrifice in Jacob Smith's part of plan, still he had connection with the real boss.  "Ahhhh!!" I heard him groan. His voice was too weak to be heard. Why not? I've been pouring boiling oil on his skin and at the same time cutting his skin deeper and deeper.  Actually I was not in the mood to make him split the truth. This had nothing to do with Andrew's case. So taking a legal step was nothing but a foolish move. I thought I would punish him in my ways. Long time, I didn't become brutal. I found I was craving for blood. Enough of being good for the last two years. That gave me nothing but shits.  I again cut

Elora woke up with a blurry vision. Though her head was not heavy or something, she felt a little numb. She looked at the ceiling of the room and found it familiar.      Wasn't it her and Adam's bedroom?     She was with Nathan, the last thing she could recall. Nathan was evil, he tried to trick them. He pushed something on her neck. Unknowingly her hands tried to reach her neck only when she found two arms wrapped around her body, tightly. She tried to move but those arms tightened around her. Much to her surprise, she wore nothing, just nothing. She was naked under the duvet. She tried to move again.     "Stop moving. Sleep!" She heard Adam's husky and deep voice. She tried to understand the situation. Both of them were under the duvet, bare bodies touching, he held her like this. Her head was spinning with the thought.     "Will you stop mov

"Why did you marry me, Adam?" Those words suddenly fell from Elora's mouth. She couldn't help but ask after all these. At first she really thought it was just a novel type flash marriage. He needed to get rid of his grandfather's pampering words and that's why he wanted to marry her. But the first confusion came into her brain, when she found Ryan was his brother and Adele was his friend. If that was true then no way he never heard about her or saw her. Of course they had her pictures.     But things became very complicated when he was Alexandra's subordinate, even Ryan included. All those things could only be coincidence, well she didn't believe it. There was something bigger than she thought. And she knew she was right. Because she found Jacob's text in his phone.     Adam didn't reply. He had nothing to say. Things were not easy to explain and he knew Jacob would do that tonight. So it was good not to open his mo
