Chapter 9 Someday you'll pay me

His nerves stood on end, his heart went cold, he was a fearsome man, he had no scruples, he was a sadist, capricious, even his own family was cursed, Alice sensed his friend's nervousness and ask

-Hadrien, do you have any questions? You are nervous!

- Uh, not that I'm thinking of something, I have that feeling, let's sit there and get rid of Hadrian, he wants to take a break and calm down.

-Hadrien You're sweating, are you sick? , do you feel bad? , are you listening?

He wasn't listening to her at all, he was lost in thought, remembering what his father told him about Chief Harper attacking him, he just saw him, he couldn't tell him anything, he couldn't mess with him, it wasn't like that , he won't give that savage a chance when you feel a strong pull

Alice was standing right in front of him, pulling him back to reality, and Hadrian turned to look at her.

- what... what's wrong?

-Hadrien you're crazy, what's wrong, what's wrong with you?

He looked at her, still immersed in his own thoughts, but came back to the present bit by bit, and replied

- oh no i was thinking about my grandma i forgot her birthday i didnt buy her anything

- your grandma, if you want we can buy her an earring, there's a jewelry store here, let's go

Alice reached out and picked him up and she pulled him and took him to the jewelry store, he was so engrossed he didn't realize it was Harper's jewelry store and they went in but Jacob wasn't there and Alice kept looking , until she found a nice earring, she asked to see him, he was commenting, he said

-Hadrien, this is beautiful, would your grandma like it, Hadrien? - he yells Hadrian!

He looked at her and smiled and responded I replied - tell me

- Check out these earrings, your grandma will love them

- How much does it cost if it looks good?

The clerk said - $158

"Fine," Hadrien said, handing him the credit card.

They put the earrings in a little box in a luxurious little bag, and they thanked and went out, bumping into a big man, and Alice screamed

-Watch where you walk, fool!

man clarified

- I think the fool here is someone else, you hit me and I'm standing here!

Alice stared at him and was about to scream when Hadrian told her

- alice stop arguing, let's go

-Hadrien, he pushed me, didn't you notice?

- Alice, let's go

Then a loud and deep voice was heard saying - tame your beast! , Hadrian Collins, hahaha

Hadrian didn't realize that it was the troglodyte he had hit, or that he had crossed his path on purpose and declared

- Hi Jacob, sorry for the inconvenience, we're leaving!

Jacob grabbed Alice's arm tightly and shouted.

- she must apologize to me! , she pushed me and insulted me, she learned to respect her elders, this kid! , i think she is your girlfriend on duty

Hadrian knew very well that what he was looking for was provocation, he would not be fooled, turned around and said affirmatively

- she's not my girlfriend! She's just a friend, you should be more of a man! and admit you pushed her harper

Those words set Jacob Harper's pride on fire, his face was flushed with anger, an anger he never knew how to control, that's why he always had problems, he yelled

- Idiot, I'm too manly to let you swallow your goddamn words, son of a bitch! ' he said, angrily approaching where Hadrian was.

He was calm and motionless, Alice was terrified, the man was a giant, he wanted to hit Hudlin, the two were face to face, Jacob claimed

- Tell me to my face that I'm not a man! My guts are wrong! Beat your mom, fucking idiot Collins

Hadrian was exposed when people heard screaming and claimed to be gathering to watch the event

-With you it's all beating and violence Harper! This is why your son is in the clinic

Don't bring my son in!

-certainly! You hit him, you almost killed him! Besides, we are arguing childishly, if you push her, apologize, I don't know why you are fighting

Jacob knows everything he explains is true but his pride is hurt and he wants revenge, he realizes the number of people who are watching them and gives in to the desire to hit posterity Collins because he has to keep his interest Yes the jewelry is her property and a scene of violence would discredit her so she said

"I'm sorry, miss! You're right, I pushed you." He lowered his head and said with an unusual look.

Alice answered gravely.

- sorry sir , let ' s go hadrian

Hadrian looked at Harper and gave him a smug smile, letting the patriarch's pride explode from within, his hands clenched into fists, only to watch them fade into place as he rushed into his residence, entered his office, shut the door and screamed angrily

"Damn Collins! I told your dad, I'm going to hit him where it hurts the most, you, Hadrian, and I have a chance for revenge." He slapped the table and yelled at the same time. damn it! "

Poor clerk was scared, she didn't like her boss being mad because he took it out on the man on duty, but it wasn't for the poor guy's luck that day, Jacob, he was mad, he went into the bathroom, grabbed the towel , covered his face and wept helplessly, he would never let others see him like this, he did it to let go of his hatred, powerless when provoked, this happened to the son of his enemy Joseph Collins and cried

- I'm going to kill your son Joseph Collins, that's going to make a big mark on you, you fucking son of a bitch! I hate you for taking the women I love, you bringing my clients under my nose and I'll make you miserable enough that you'll cry

He sat on the edge of the toilet, tearfully venting the feeling of powerlessness that had been with him.
