THE BILLIONAIRE'S BRIDE

8. ADAM

UNKNOWN POV

24 HOURS AGO

"So you are saying, Dylan has arranged Adam's marriage with Matthew Jefferson's daughter?" He asked while circling his index finger on the rim of his champagne glass.

I took a sip from my champagne glass and nodded my head lightly. The next thing I heard was the shattering of the glass. He stood up from his  seat began to pace back and froth in front of me.

"How can this be so possible? How come Dylan agree to this? They were rivals for decades now. I tried everything in my power to keep them as far possible. Now all our plans  will be in vain." He said while raking his hand through his hair.

I rolled my eyes at his outburst. After keeping the champagne glass in the side table, stood up from my place and started walking towards him slowly. I placed my both hands on his shoulders and hugged him from behind.

"Just relax babe. Why are you so impatient? It's not like  they are already married ." I said to keep him calm.

" Relax.. I should relax. Are you f*cking out of your mind? How can I be so calm while my plans for years are gonna flop within days.?"

"Calm down baby.  Do you think that Adam will agree to this deal?" I asked trying to calm him. He suddenly turned around and held my arm lightly. I continued. " The scar that we have made in his heart will never allow him to love anyone." He smirked hearing my comment.

"How did he take the news?" He asked.

"Pretty badly. Threw the entire mansion upside down." I rolled my eyes remembering Adam's reaction.

He laughed lightly. " That's  typical Adam."

After a moment of silence I continued. " Actually this marriage is not a bad idea. It  will only benefit us."

"How come?" Confusion was laced on his face.

"Don't you remember what's written in Alfred Knight's will? That the entire property of the Knight will be transferred to his grandson Adam Knight  only if he is married before at the age of 30. Not only that he also has to produce an heir." I said while running my index finger along his jaw.

" I know that. Only because of that I kept him alive all these years. Otherwise I would have murdered him with my own bare hands." He said clenched his palm into a fist.

"Shush. No violence baby. We have to think and act wisely." I placed my index finger on his lips.

He nodded his head lightly. "But you didn't tell me why this marriage deal will benefit us?"

I slowly untangled myself from him and turned around. 

"Dylan thinks that after this marriage, the entire Knight empire will be under Adam. He doesn't know about the other clause, because we forged the original Alfred Knight's will with another one. And as far I know Adam, he wouldn't  even allow Andrea in his bedroom let alone to touch him. We have to take advantage of that."

"How so?" He asked. Looks like he didn't understood a bit.

"We shouldn't allow Adam to get attracted  to Andrea. We should separate them as far as possible." 

He smiled wickedly. "You are a genius babe." He kissed my lips lightly.

I smiled at him. " Thanks babe." His hands roamed the sides of my body.

"You know it's been so long, babe." He said seductively while peppering kisses on my neck.

I immediately wrapped my arms around him. "Then what are you waiting for, baby" I giggled.
