“Maria was involved in an incident “
“Did she die?”
Kim smirked, great minds think alike.
“Still in surgery as of the time of report”
“Huge disappointment then,” she said with no hint of sympathy.
“Shouldn’t we pay a visit to the hospital?” Kim suggested.
“I told you, no one should suspect we’re working together. I’m going with Niles, find yours “
The call ended
“Find yours” Kim made a face and mockingly mimicked Tina’s voice.
“Who wanted to leave with you, anyway?” She mumbled to herself.
Kim frowned, with everything that has happened bet**en her and Maria so far, there was a probability the bitch would kick her out but ….If she came with her mother and grandmother, she wouldn’t act recklessly.
If luck is on her side and Niles sees her with a remorseful look on her face, it might change his opinion of her and provide an opportunity to attract him to her body – where was her low cut top.
But first thing first, she had to play the good granddaughter looking after her sister role.
Kim took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and called her grandmother.
“Grandmother…” Her tears filed voice faltered.
“There has been a bloody clash bet**en two gangs which has left eight members dead and four innocent victims injured. Among the victims is a newly booming celebrity who goes by the name of Maria Octavia and the two kids Anabelle and Isabella Sparks with their driver who were caught in the middle of the battle. Although the victims lost no life, Maria has been in intensive -“
The television was switched off.
“When did this happen?” Asked Adam who was sitting on his seat with a clenched fist, a hardened exp**ssion with fierce orbs.
“This afternoon Sir, ” The guard who had been sent to answer the query said with a nervous exp**ssion. Though the air conditioner was on but sweat could be seen trailing down his face.
“And what were you doing during that period?”
“Sir, I followed after them but I was fooled by Gerald’s men, they apparently -“
Bang.
A gunshot went off.
The man groaned when he felt a sudden pain in his left abdomen. All breath left his body while his legs gave out causing him to buckle to the ground, his face a twisted mess.
“Oops, sorry. I was aiming for the heart but mistakenly missed vital organs since I’m not a perfect shot” Adam said nonchalantly, blowing away the smoke that left the gun.
The man paled, he wasn’t a fool! Adam didn’t miss by mistake, he intentionally spared his life – but not without the pain.
The smile on Adam’s face disappeared and was covered by a malicious shadow.
“You’re a shadow guard, your responsibility is to ensure the survival of the Sparks heir- you might not get the chance to be reminded next time”
With his eyes, Adam signaled his men who had brought the fool in and remained indifferent to all that ensued in the room
“Take him out of my sight”
“Yes sir,” Both chorused and grabbed the man on his arm, his blood forming a trail on the floor as he was being dragged away.
As soon as they left, Adam sank deeper into his seat with an exhausted sigh, p**ssing his temple.
This Maria of a girl was becoming a huge headache to him, she had all his kids wr*pped around her fi**gers.
First was his son Niles, followed by his nephew Eden and his daughter Anabelle put into his care and now his granddaughter Isabella was not left out.
That girl was a witch else why would she possess so much control over them – they were hypnotized by her deceptive acts and beauty.
To make matters worse, his precious daughter Emily he had invested so much into had become a rebel. But what made his heart burn with fury was the fact she was whoring around with a shadow guard.
Didn’t she see other reputable men around? Why a lowly shadow guard? Well, he knew how to handle that one, and his daughter would be back to him in no time.
His problem was that witch called Maria and that girl he had chosen for his son called Christina was not even doing a good job – it seems he made a mistake.
He clearly overestimated her, he had seen the fire in her eyes the first time and thought, this was the kind of woman that would have the heart to brave past every obstacle in her way, and the fact she came from a prominent family made things easier.
He didn’t need any of those poor wretches for his son; Niles needed an asset and not a liability if he wanted to rule in his place.
Unlike him, that stupid son of his amid all the training had always been moved by emotion since young. A little heart-stirring event and he would cower, no wonder Maria easily got under his skin.
Which was why Adam had got his hands on Isabella from a very young age.
The girl was destined to make greater achievements than her father since she didn’t let emotions get in her way. But that all changed lately; she no longer listened to him, all thanks to Maria.
Maria, Maria! He had the power to make her disappear out of this world but not when his kids were surrounding her like flocks of sheep – they would never forgive him for that as far as they still got their eyes on her.
The only thing he could do to separate them was make life harder for Maria until she gave up – but that would take time which he didn’t have – or sell her off to his enemy which was faster and what he had done – alerting Gerald.
After his foolish son gave that ledger away, he knew it was only a matter of time till that ruthless gangster struck.
So Adam purposely shifted Gerald’s attention to that witch by planting his men in that gang who suggested the idea to him.
He had everything planned well, once Gerald took that girl – he didn’t care what he does to her – he would intercept his stupid son and nephew from launching a rescue or delay them until the girl was finished by his men going undercover in Gerald’s gang.
It was killing two birds with one stone, his kids would not suspect him since all blame would be shifted to Gerald and the girl would be gone.
Yet he failed, and not only was his granddaughter’s life endangered but the witch was rescued by his enemy, what was Sakuzi thinking?! Did that sly old man get an idea of his plan and did that to infuriate him?
Fine, this one failed but the next one wouldn’t!
Meanwhile …..
“My poor granddaughter!” Granny Octavia cried the moment she heard the news.
“Grandmother, please watch your health” Kim pleaded.
“What’s the use of being alive if Maria dies ” The woman wailed louder, “That poor girl has suffered too much, she can’t just go like this!”
“Why did you share this news with her when you know she’d be this way?” Angela rebuked her daughter.
