The Billionaire Darkness

Chapter One Hundred Eleven

Adrian Winters

Waking up on a bright sunny August morning I rolled over to look out over Los Angeles where I could see a salmon sky lighting up the mountain ridges.

I had been slowly feeling more and more like myself. Like the person I was deep down but also the person the world knew me as. The Adrian Winters that everyone feared.

In an odd way I enjoyed it seeing people be afraid. The fear of my name, and the family I represented appealled to me.

I also understood that the rest of self improvement would have to happen on my own. I'd learned that as long as I did things alone they always turned out how I wanted especially for things pertaining to me.

Walking into my bathroom I undressed and quickly showered to wake myself up and clear my mind from my night. I kept having weird repetitive dreams that even Kate said was odd. Riley joked about it being premonitions though I didn't know how I felt about the idea of seeing my future, and have it be negative especially since the dream always made me feel comforted and happy not the forboding feeling that a premonition would give.

When I got out I quickly dried off before wrapping the towel around my waist before going into my closet to pick out an outfit.

Deciding on faded black ripped jeans and a plain white shirt I tousled my hair though made sure it still looked good before putting on cologne and walking downstairs.

Heading into the kitchen I make myself an instant coffee and got out the box of Vector since I wasn't really wanting to make an actual breakfast. So for lazy days I still had something that at least had fiber and other good things in it so I didn't get scurvy.

I then walked outside and went down to the lounge gazebo area where I could look over LA.

This was one of those cities I could connect to but still feel like I didn't belong here.

Parties, drinking, the constant fast paced lifestyle of spend, spend, spend was slowly going to ruin so many good people. Everyone had their vices and escaping them would lead to so many issues and struggles, even if it was possible.

I'd gone into the excess, and I knew that I did it for different reasons for some things, but I'd also been an alcoholic and a player but eight months ago. I couldn't do it anymore and so I changed but I knew that years of damage would take a while to change and none the less I would just work to be better.

After a while I heard an engine and glanced at my gate where it had slowed only to see Aria pull into my motor court behind the wheel of arguably the most amazing sounding car ever build.

Walking down to where she was I just shook my head as I watched her hop out of the driver seat of the LFA.

"You know its like nine in the morning right?" I say stopping on the bottom step as she moved towards me.

"Yes, I also wanted to come see you" she says stopping a few feet away.

"Why?" I puzzle giving her an inquiring look.

"Because I wanted to know how you were doing this morning?".

I then let out a sigh followed by a yawn.

"Well I have coffee to wake me up and I'm starting to feel normal again so I'll be heading home either late tonight or tomorrow morning super early".

"Your attachment is over then?" Aria says seeming mildly upset, "I'm not going to see you for like another year now".

"That's why they made phones we can talk" I say with a smirk, "unless of course party life is too busy for you to do that" I add teasingly and she goes to punch me but I dodge it.
