Adam hurried with washing his face as he heard the ringing sound of his phone from the room. He glanced at his reflection in the mirror before he wiped his face with a towel and hurried out.
He bent over and picked up the phone from the coffee table. It had already stopped ringing. He arched his brow at the caller.
“Good God, Alexa,” he murmured.
Plopping down on the bed donned in only sweat pants, he contemplated whether to call her back.
When he dialed her number it didn’t ring twice before she answered.
“Something urgent?” He asked because Alexa never calls.
“I’m considering Gregory’s offer?” She let the words out in a rush.
“Which is?” He raised a brow.
“If there’s anything mom would ever want is for us to make a tiny bit of peace with him, and seeing that this kind of peace will make Jane suffer, oh I’m so accepting what he’s offering.”
Adam took a moment to ponder her words before speaking. “Is this why you called me? Eight in the morning?” He rolled his eyes. “Listen, I don’t care, okay. I don’t give a f**k. You’re an adult, I can’t control your freaking life but don’t think I’ll get involved in this madness.
“Bad news, I already did,” she announced and Adam paused. “I gave him your address and he’s on his way, to see.”
Adams’ fist tightened, knuckles white.
“Alexa,” he growled.
“You have to speak to him, Jane needs to be miserable. She has to be miserable, I’ll make sure of that,” Alexa's voice was laced with determination.
“You’re such a……” Adam couldn’t find the right words.
“Owen is threatening the hell out of Gregory, and I like the fear I saw in his eyes yesterday,” Alexa chuckled.
“Owen, is in California?” Adam arched his brow.
“Yes, he came back with Avery…..” Alexa let out a sigh before adding. “They’re getting married.”
Adam expected this, he saw it coming. But his brain and his heart never work together. His heart was thundering, palpating. He wanted to shrug and shove off the topic but his lips couldn’t move to say the word ‘okay.’
His chest was hurting.
“Are you okay?” Alexa's voice that had a trace of mockery drew him out of his trance.
“Why won’t I be?” He reached for the glass and poured in water., gulping it down at once like it could cool off his burning chest.
“I don’t know,” she sneered.
“Alexa, I just hope you know what you’re getting yourself into. And be careful,” Adam successfully changed the topic. “What Dad is offering is a lot, but you and I know you don’t need it. There’s nothing on earth that I won’t provide for you.”
“Adam i know, but this is more than just for money.”
“It’s for what?”
“Mom! For revenge,” Alexa spat.
“Owen is kinda….different now. Declan believes he killed Zed, I don’t know what length he can go to sustain the papers that’s……
“This doesn’t sound like the Adam I know. Where’s my brother and what have you done with him?”
“He’s grown, okay! He grew up!” Adam half yelled.
“I refuse to believe that,” Alexa scoffed. “And believe me I’m extra careful, I’m not doing this alone, I’m doing this with Declan,” she added.
“I knew,” Adam bobbed his head. “I knew he was the mastermind behind this s**t!”
“Whatever bro, goodbye,” Alexa hung up, leaving Adam in his thoughts.
“Merry Christmas,” Alexa’s text popped in seconds after she hung up. She couldn’t say it to him directly. Such a grumpy girl.
His life has changed a lot through the years, and sometimes he doesn’t even know what he’s living for.
It’s Christmas and everyone is with family but he wouldn’t dare return to LA, and that wasn’t because he was busy, but because he was scared to face his old life.

Jane sprinted into action immediately after Owen and Avery announced their engagement. Although the wedding was scheduled to be held in February, she was already making a huge noise about the event. The whole of California needed to anticipate, they surely had never seen anything like it.
She planned to make it better than Paxton’s and with Jessica’s influence made the occasion even more special.
“Son,” she called as she strolled into the dining room where he was having dinner. “Has Avery decided on the color of the day or should we do it for her?”
“No I think you should let her decide that,” he chewed slowly.
“Well she should hasten up then,” she took a seat next to him, smiling brightly. “Finally,” she muttered.
“What?” He raised a confused brow.
“I’m so excited, I almost gave up on this union,” she reached for his hands resting on the table, covering them with hers. “From the day she was born, when I first saw her, I knew she was meant for my son, for you,” she informed and Owen released a throaty laugh.
“That’s funny,” he shook his head as he laughed.
“Look, it came to pass anyway,” she sighed. “Get ready, the guests will soon start arriving.”
“I thought you said no Christmas party this year?” He half yelled.
“Just some friends,” she shrugged and Owen watched her in disbelief.
“Where’s dad?” He asked.
“Paris,” Jane tried to hide her discomfort but Owen didn’t miss it.
“He went to see Adam?” Owen scoffed. “He really is pulling this through?”
“Yes,” Jane muttered, her eyes downcast.

Adam sat on the couch, watching his father move around his sitting room, his shoes making soft thud sounds at each step he took. He hated how he looked just like this man.
“Great place,” he smiled and Adam just ignored him.
“You have ten minutes!” He grouched.
“Man of the match huh?” Gregory’s eyes caught his awards hanging on the other end of his sitting room. “How has the profession been?”
“Great,” Adam’s demeanor was ice cold.
“I’m proud of you son.”
“Don’t call me that.”
“Alexa must have told you already,” he finally decided to sit.
“Why the hell are you doing this?” Adam grimaced.
“Because it’s the least I can do.”
“Do we look hungry to you?” He scolded.
“No, but these properties will make your life easier and I know Nicole would….
“Don’t dare say her name!” Adam flared, and Gregory shrugged, not surprised by his reaction.
“You can punch me if you want but I’m doing this for her. I wronged her and you all, I don’t seek forgiveness but don’t deprive me of the help I’m offering.”
“Well I’m loudly depriving you, stay away from my sister and me,” Adam fumed.
“That was all Jane ever wanted, I can’t grant her that. I can’t give her happiness at last.”
“Then donate your stuff to a trust or whatever,” Adam rolled his eyes.
“When I have breathing children.”
“I believe you speak about Paxton and Owen.”
“Alexa is interested, and everyone knows she’s more difficult than you are. Just let me do this, for Nicole.”
“F**k!” Adam raked his fingers through his hair, rising to his feet. “Please get out,” he ordered as he began walking away from the sitting room.
“They made me do it. Jane and my parents, they made me do that to Nicole. Left to me, I would let her live comfortably but they wanted her dead and I couldn’t do much, I was young.”
“Shut your freaking mouth! You greedy bastard! You never cared about my mother all you wanted was your children! Now she’s dead and you have your kids. She lost, you won! You all won,” tears began coursing down Adam’s face.
He hasn’t healed from the pain, he only managed to survive thus far because he never talks about his mother. Never!
“I accept it, I know how you see things! At the end of the day, I wasn’t any different from Jane. But think of it? What would I stand to gain by hurting Nicole? I’m not trying to pin this on Jane but she killed the surrogate mother of Paxton and Owen and she…..
“I DON'T CARE!” Adam yelled so loudly that one would fear the building might shake. “I don’t want to know,” his voice reduced to a whisper, his eyes blood red from crying. “She’s dead, she’s gone. Y’all are happy, just get out. Leave me the f**k alone and never return.”
Gregory stood to his feet watching his son with concern. “Did you try seeing a therapist?”
“Get out!” Adam yelled, ready to punch Gregory if he stayed any longer.
“I’m sorry,” Gregory apologized, giving Adam one last smile before turning on his heel and barreling out.
Adam could see the pain and regret in his eyes but he didn’t care.
*
Adam woke up at three am after crying himself to sleep while drinking so many bottles. He cried and drank from the minute Gregory left and right now his head is banging.
He brushed past the bottles lying recklessly on the floor and headed for the shower. He had a good bath and took a tablet to help with his banging head.
Falling back on the bed by almost 4am, he couldn’t bring himself to sleep anymore. He took out his phone and for the first time in years, he broke his promise to himself. He was presently scrolling through Avery’s Instagram.
His heart was pounding in his ears as he kept scrolling. Her last post was a week ago. The post carried so many pictures of her in a Chinese restaurant. Adam's smile kept getting brighter at every slide. Avery was a work of art.
His heart twitched when he came across a slide. It was a selfie, she held up the phone while Owen kissed her cheek.
He tossed the phone unable to bear the sight. Although it was obvious, she was his fiancée and she was in a restaurant. Did he expect her to go to dinner alone? But the pain always hits hard, he’s never ready for it.
He shut his eyes trying to get her off his thoughts when his loud ringing tone disturbed the quiet morning. Who could be calling at this hour?
He frowned reaching for his phone. Somewhere in his stupid heart, he wished it could be Avery. It was Declan, who else could it be? Bro was a workaholic, he worked at any time.
“What's this about?” Adam grouched.
“Where’s your Dad?”
“Are you okay?” Adam frowned at the fact that Declan was referring to Gregory as his Dad.
“Where’s he?” Declan half yelled.
“How would I know, he left my house hours ago. What?”
“There’s a report, his Jet crashed, I guess he’s in it,” Declan spoke in one breath.
Did Adam hate Gregory? Yes. But the news wounded his heart even more.
“How’s he?” He panted.
“Debby did you hear something?”
Adam was losing patience as he listened to Declan speak to his girlfriend and co-worker.
“Declan! Did you hear anything?” He yelled impatiently.
“Dead, Adam, dead! His is dead!” From Declan’s voice, one could tell he was already in tears.
Adam froze with the phone against his ear.
