Chapter 31 - Goodnight (2/2)

Stella only closed the door once she saw him enter his room. She freshened up quickly and changed into a baggy t-shirt and cotton shorts. She jumped on the bed, dragging the quilt up to her neck and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

In the room opposite to hers, Adam sat on the edge of his bed wearing only black silk trousers. His damp hairs were a mess with water dripping from the ends on to the ground. Now that he was not worried about the little lady anymore knowing that she must be sleeping peacefully by now, his mind drifted to the day's event.

He picked up his cellphone, dialing a number, he put the phone to his ear waiting for the call to connect.

”What is it with you now?” A man spoke groggily, picking up the call after the third ring.

”I need you to do something for me. But do it as soon as you can.” Adam replied.

”What is it?” The other man asked.

Adam slowly explained the details of what had happened, not missing out a single thing.

”It's damn obvious Adam. Who else it can be if not for that pervert?” The man asked him.

”Do you think he has the guts to go against me Blake?” Adam asked him in return.

Blake Collins was not only the owner of a number of big clubs in the city but he had his own underground network. He could find out about anything as long as he wants. He was also responsible for Adam's security.

”You have a point.” Blake replied.

”Look into it, and assign someone for her protection. Though I will try to keep her by my side until the matter is resolved.” Adam asked again.

”Okay, I will try to find out as soon as I can.” Blake replied with seriousness, the usual playfulness in his voice was long gone.

Adam hummed in response, cutting off the call. For a moment he had his doubts on Albert but after thinking it through, he didn't think it was him. That sleazeball could never have the guts to against him no matter what.

What worried Adam more was not knowing whether the person was after him or Stella? His mind wouldn't be at rest till he gets rid of the person. Heaving out a sigh Adam decided to finally resign to his bed. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
