Chapter 8 - The drug

Doctor Chen Yu, who was in an operating room, had left his phone outside.

Fedrick arrived at the hospital and made his presence known to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu knew for a fact that whatever the reason Fedrick made his presence known, Adrian must be in grave danger. He quickly instructed a nurse on standby in the operating room to ask Doctor Freda to come take over the surgery. About twenty minutes later, the information about the whole surgery so far was explained to her as she took over, while Chen Yu excused himself and followed

Fedrick to Adrian's mansion.

On getting there, they heard a loud shattering sound,

which made both men hasten their steps as they made their way to Adrian's room.

Adrian, who was currently being overwhelmed by the drugs, seeing her injure herself with the second vase while trying to defend herself, stirred emotions within him. On hearing the knock on the door, he knew Chen Yu had arrived.

"Co...v...e...r yo...ur...self," he said, trying to catch his breath as he made his way to the door.

Stella, who was currently traumatized by the incident, immediately covered herself beneath the blanket as soon as she heard the door click.

Dr. Chen Yu, on seeing Adrian's disheveled state, immediately administered an injection to him...

Two hours later,

The effects of the drugs on Adrian had completely faded.

He sat in his sitting room with Fedrick across from him...

The maids had already tended to Stella's wound. Adrian made sure everything was perfectly fine with her. Sleeping pills were added to the water given to her, so she was currently asleep while Adrian and Fedrick were having a heated discussion...

"Seems like I haven't taught anyone a lesson in a long while," Adrian said.

"Let's head to the base. The Snake Gang is already biting more than they can chew," Adrian said and stood up, walking towards the door. Fedrick followed suit...

While leaving, Adrian instructed the butler to make sure no one comes in or leaves till he's back, and that Stella should be taken care of as if she were him.

*The Base*

Everyone was busy, focused on their jobs. There was no noise; everyone was working....

Adrian walked in with Fedrick, which brought everyone to a halt as they all stood up to acknowledge their boss.

They had decided to use the main door today. The base was heavily guarded, with armed men in their right positions...

As they walked into the depth of the base, everyone who came across Adrian and Fedrick stood up and bowed to acknowledge their presence.

Soon, they arrived at the training grounds. As they bowed to recognize his presence, he waved his hand for them to continue. He was impressed by their combat ability. After watching them for a while, he proceeded to his office...

Adrian walked into his office, removed his mask, and sat. Fedrick did the same while he sat opposite Adrian...

"Definitely, we have an insider that's connected to the Snake Gang," Adrian said as he relaxed his wrist muscles...

"I asked Xavier to prepare the list of people who were assessed and got promoted recently, and the list of everyone who has access to core information," Fedrick stated...

Adrian smirked and said, "There are many ways to catch a fish." His thoughts were going crazy, and he was ruthless while at it. That is why he is feared in the business world...

"Send a message across to all modeling agencies, that whoever backs Oreola is against the Huston Corp. Also, make a statement to prominent businesspeople that no one should invest in anything Oreola is involved in," Adrian said to Fedrick.

Immediately, Fedrick sprang into action...

*Sebastian Mansion*

The entire Sebastian Mansion was in chaos. Oreola was fuming with rage as all her company contracts were being terminated one after the other. She kept smashing everything in sight.

Ring ring - a call came in. She picked it up.

"Hello? Brenda, have you figured out who's behind the chaos?"

"It's the Huston family."

Hearing that name, Oreola's fury immediately turned into fear and heartache. Without wasting another second, she grabbed her car keys and rushed out, heading straight for Adrian's mansion.

*STELLA'S POV*

*Adrian's Mansion*

I woke up sore and weak, my body ached all over. The bed was soft and dangerously welcoming. I wanted to sleep a little longer, but as I opened my eyes and saw an unfamiliar room, I sat up instantly.

My eyes scanned the space, and then, it hit me.

Memories of what had happened played like a movie in my head.

"Haaaaaaaaaa!" I screamed, recalling his hands on my two plumpies and his lips on them, the way he squeezed and fiddled with them, and the way he kissed me on my neck down to my collar bone...

A shiver ran down my spine, and my toes curled.

The door flung open, snapping me out of whatever thought I was having. Two maids rushed in.

Wait, was I seriously fantasizing about my new boss? The one who basically kidnapped me and nearly had his way with me...

"Good evening, madam," they said in unison, bowing politely.

Whoa. Am I in a movie or something?

I pinched myself. Hard.

Nope this was real, people actually do bow...

"Are you feeling any discomfort?" one of the maids asked. She was beautiful with rare blue eyes, dark skin, and a warm smile.

I was so focused on her eyes I forgot to respond. I just sat there in silence...

"Ma'am is there anything you would like" she asked once with a bright smile still on her face...

"Yes there's something I would like, which is to go home" I said and stood up getting dressed...
