Chapter Ninety Two- Hailey's Gift

Hailey's POV

After kissing Emmy goodbye promising to visit again during the week, I gather my small belongings from during the week and left with Adian, his uncle and his friend, climbing in the back seat followed by Adian, while Basil drove with Jerry riding shotgun.

The drive was a quiet one, each one lost in our own thoughts.

This past week I have been on my own, I have done so many things and seen so many people in my quest to find the truth surrounding my parents. I am just afraid of Adian's reaction to the truth but I must have proof because, if I told him it was a dream or a memory, he may not believe the memory of five year old grieving child. I believe finding my father will bring actual clarity but at the end of the day Amelia Knight must pay. I'm only sorry that Adian, Adana and Ryan may suffer.

I was unaware that we had stopped in front of a beautiful two story house just outside the city. It was when Jerry slammed the door shut and started to speak to me that, once again I was brought out of my day dreaming, which never gets old for me.

"So tomorrow?" Jerry asks, while I looked at him definitely confused, as I look to Adian for help, but the ass just shrugs. I turn to Basil but he just chuckled at my absentmindedness.

I have no idea what he asked and I have not intention off getting caught in a trap with these guys especially if Basil finds it funny. I just shook my head refusing what ever he is selling.

Tilting his head to look at me questioning, "so when are you coming back to the office, we have to arrange with Simon and start working on the proposal plus, there were some new projects you were added to and your two weeks vacation is up." Jerry fills me in, with a mouthful about my job and I really like my job. I want to be the best that I can be, even if it means giving my cheating father the shock of his life.

"Tuesday," I asked hopefully,

Jerry looks to the boss for confirmation, "she's the boss" he says instead, smiling at me.

Jerry looks at me thoughtfully, "At least half day, there are somethings that are too long outstanding." Jerry explained and I understand and maybe I should go because I need my job and I want that evil Amelia Knights to know that I will never give up my share of Sullaknights.

Smiling brightly, "okay." I agreed.

Basil starts laughing at how easily I gave in. but he doesn't understand that this is my heritage and my mom would want me to excel here and my cheating father did leave it all for me.

Finally we returned to Adian's apartment and I was genuinely surprise to see Mel there and she was just as surprise and happy to see me.

Adian came and pulled me out of the living room telling Mel that she and I can play catch up later because he needs me now, before dragging me up to his bedroom or now our bedroom, I think.

Closing the door behind him, "are you going to hold me captive?" I chuckle as Adian starts walking towards me with a menacing look, while I started to slowly back away.

Adian rushes forward, lifting me and throwing me on the bed.

Suddenly bashful, I tried to pull out of his arms as he engulfed me in a tight hug pinning me on the bed.

"We have guests downstairs" I reminded him when he started nuzzling my neck.

Ignoring me, he continued to assault my neck and my throat and I could already feel myself coming undone. "They are not guests, they live here now." Adian informs me, raising his face to look into my eyes. "I hope you don't have a problem with it." he adds, as if seeking my approval.

Frowning, I chuckle, "it's your home Adian," I tell him as he continue to watch me before getting off me. I wanted to kick myself now for opening my big mouth because I now feel the warmth that his body give me, slowly disappearing.

Putting a hand out, "come" he said and I took his hand allowing him to pull me up. While I sat on the bed, he walked over to the desk in the room and pulled out an envelope and handed it over to me.

"What is it?" I asked instead.

Chuckling, "open it but be careful not to tear what's inside." Adian instructs me and me being very curious, I ripped open the top carefully before pulling out the documents inside and started reading the contents, my eyes narrowing as I read and I eventually started to feel uncomfortable with what I was reading and the decision that Adian had taken while I was away.

I handed the papers back to him. "I can't take this" I told him, confused, "It's your family's" I explained.

Taking the document from my hand, "you're my wife and it belongs to us but I am putting it into your hands because I intend to train you to run that aspect of the company while I focus to working with my father at the foundation." Adian says softly,

Even though I am happy that Adian has this amount of trust in me, I still felt inadequate for the position. "I understand but it's scary and I doubt I can do you and your family justice, especially.." I stopped when I realize what I was about to say.

His eyes observing me curiously, "especially?" Adian prompted me to continue, but I believe that I have said enough and causing a problem and mother and a son is not on my agenda.

I shook my head at the determined look in his eyes, "I'm just a novice."
