Chapter 201 - The Search For More Clues (2/2)

She clenched her jaw as she tried to fight the anger building within her. She hated it whenever he called her with that title. 'What little elf? I am not even that small.'

”Little elf?” He called her again, his smile becoming wider with each passing second.  As he realized that she wouldn't back out from ignoring him easily, he decided to push his luck harder.  ”I won't touch my food any further if you continue to ignore me.” He put down his knife and fork on the ceramic plate forcefully, producing a clank sound.

Stella shut her eyes tightly, trying to keep herself sane. He knew that her only weakness was he, himself and surely how to use the fact for his own advantage.

”Adam! Eat it.” She gritted her teeth, still not bothering to look up from her plate.

”Not unless you look at me.” He added in a pitiful voice and even pushed his lower lip out, curling it.

Rolling her eyes again, she finally looked at him and couldn't help but chuckle as soon as her eyes landed on his 'pitiful' face. ”Stop it. You don't look good.”

”And you should stop rolling your eyes. It won't be a wonder if they get stuck in the same position.” He did listen to her but didn't forget to pass her a teasing remark.

”Who cares if they do get stuck? You are the one who's stuck with me for life.” She cheekily added as the two of them continued to eat their dinner.

Adam didn't bother replying to her remark. His silence was enough for her to know that she was right.

”You know what you have to do, right?” A man spoke spoke into his phone as he sipped on his whiskey. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, only wearing a night robe which covered his naked self. His eyes were set on the burning wood chunks in the fireplace, how they burned away, turning themselves into ashes just so they could provide some warmth to others.

”Good! Keep me updated on how the plan progresses.” He spoke to his lackey again before disconnecting the call. Picking up the crystal glass which was half filled with whiskey, he brought it to his lips before chugging down it's content. A devilish smirk hugged his lips as he continued to gaze at the blazing flames.

”Just one more day and everything that I have desired so far, will be mine. Just one more day and you will be out of my way Adam Levinson.” He let out a sinister laugh.

He heard the covers of the bed shuffle as two fair, slender arms wrapped around him. Two bouncy yet firm mounds of flesh were pressed against his back as a sweet, tender voice made its way into his ears.

”Who are you talking to at this hour?”

”Why are you up so early? Looks like you aren't that tired. Should make you?” He smirked at her.
