Chapter 31 Official Confrontation

Adrian’s POV: Official Confrontation.

“Cut off all companies working with Cole Industries. Outlist all companies who refuse to cut ties with Cole Industries.

Withdraw all shadow guards meant to protect the third, fourth, sixth and seventh families as well as their offsprings. Block all import companies that deliver Old Man Cole’s medications. Stage a theft and damage his stick as well as giving him a little trim.

Next time, he won’t dare cross the line”

I barked out orders as I furiously stormed into my main home. I walked into my bedroom as the countless portraits of Lila stared at my face. I felt calm being surrounded by her.

That was the power she held over me.

I had dropped her off in her personal apartment as she had insisted her brother would freak out if he found out what happened.

While carrying her in, bridal style of course, I couldn’t help but notice the forlorn look on her face and I knew that she was still bothered. Even I was bothered.

And my grandfather would bear the brunt of it. All allowances had been seized and I had handed over my letter of resignation as the CEO of Cole Industries.

I was his eighth child. Seven older siblings and yet not one of them was capable of running the company. I bore the brunt of it and built that company. While their families frolicked around and had plenty of girlfriends and mistresses, I focused on myself and my career.

He never cared about them. The mistresses, the affairs, the gigolo’s, the illegitimate children. None.

But when their money making factory was now involved, everyone became an investigator. And now My Princess was injured.

And I was to blame for it. If I hadn’t neglected them, neglected their every move, then this wouldn’t have happened.

But why would I should I have to cover my tracks for a bunch of animals who depend on me.

The only reasonable meme we of that family was my second brother and his family. The main reason I had wanted Princess there.

I wanted to see the man who had raised me since my uncle and his wife were both travelers and happened to be around at the time.

But not only did something come up on their end and they couldn’t make it, Lila got injured for no apparent reason.

“Sir, the old man requires your presence”

I took my gun from it’s holster and shot a bullet right through the messengers forehead.

That was exactly what I craved to do to my father. Shoot the bullet and watch the surprise in his eyes as he bleeds to death.

Such a sweet moment it would be between the both of us.

“Send word back that I am not stepping foot in that house until he does the needful”

If they can’t apologize to my Princess and she accepts the apology, they can only wait for their downfall.

Everyone already knows me as the face of the Cole Industries, and I had used that influence to build up my own franchise.

My father might have known of it and would possibly try to wreck it just to force me to bend to his will.

I would have given in to him as always. But not this time. This time they touched my woman. My Princess. My obsession.

They were going to pay brutally for it.

“So you are willing to end your entire family for the sake of a woman?”

My third brother stormed into my home as he heaved in anger.

“Correction, MY woman. I would end the entire motherfucking bloodline and I won’t give a bloody damn”

“End the…. You would really wipe out your entire family?!! How would you sleep at night?”

“Next to her of course. Where else would I sleep?”

“You are nothing but a stupid man. You would go to such lengths all for a woman. Look at your home, it’s more of a shrine”

“Exactly. My shrine. With my woman’s pictures”

“Madness!!! This is madness I tell you”

“Two years ago, you took a lady by name Brielle Winters to a private spa in Singapore. A few weeks ago, another lady by name Rosella Evan’s was spotted in your arms in a cinema in London. Last week, another lady named Michela was seen with you in New York. You are in no position to question my loyalty to my woman”

“Are you threatening me? Have you forgotten I am way older than you”

“Good. Then you would deliver this message to your father in person. Go and tender an apology in person to her. Or the fall of your shares won’t be the only thing you are going to be worried about”

“You are going insane”

I had wasted more words than I would on an average day. Moreover to a human who didn’t seem to under the words spoken.

“I think we are done here. Throw him out of my home”

I gestured to the guards staged right outside my door as they moved in sync and raised him up by his hands and legs.

His protests grew louder as the distance between us grew and the guards, left with no other option, stuffed his mouth with one of their socks.

I hadn’t personall trained them for nothing.

I gazed at the picture he had rumpled with his hands. Heavens knew I had held myself back from breaking the fingers he had used to dent my baby’s portrait.

I added his family and their business in my death role as I still waited for my father to step forward.

If they was anyone who would make this fight worth my time, it was my father. The slimy old fox who had his tricks tucked under his sleeves

“Sir, Mrs Cole just left her apartment and is heading to the bridge alone.”

“Follow her discreetly and call me when anything gets fishy. Is that clear?”

“Yes sir”

“Make sure no one goes near to her to avoid any issues”

“Yes sir”

“And Cedric?”

“Sir”

“Be on the lookout” I didn’t have a good feeling about all this.

“Got it Sir”
