Book 2 of The Adeline Series
after a while of silence. It was just us beneath the billions of stars, then Tom pointed his hand to a bright shining star
" that star is called Adeline," he said, marking my name.
I laughed loudly and shook my head...

I watch the news about Valentina's disappearance
and the men are glad that only two pieces of news were released to the public and nothing more because if Valentina's case had been announced in public multiple times, it would have been tougher to hide her
" Adeline Wright, huh? " I heard one of the men's jokes around.
I can't help but roll my eyes and light a cigarette, I turn off the TV as one of the guards walks up to me
"Alec, Anto, and Nadya are looking for you. They said they need you immediately " He explains. I stood from the seat and sighed, I walked out of the room and headed upstairs to where my parents were currently staying
We're hiding in a mansion here in LA, secretive, and yet it seems no one has lived here for a long time. As I headed to the empty and long hallway
I opened the door and walked inside to see Anton and Nadya talking to one of their rich business partners.
I sat on the couch and watched them talk about Valentina.
I examined the man, he was old, probably around his 50s. There are wrinkles all over his face, his hair is covered in white hair. He was wearing an expensive suit and gold jewelry.
" yes, I can assure you that our daughter Valentina will accept your proposal " Nadya spoke.
Putting up a fake smile on her face while I could sense the bitchness in her voice, I furrowed my eyebrow about what they meant. 'proposal'?
The man laughs and nods his head
" that's good then, when can I have her?" he asks. Now my curiosity was growing even more, Anton glanced at Nadia before looking back at the man
" Tomorrow, we'll send her to yo—"
" hold on, what's this? " I Interrupt and stand from the seat, chuckling, as their heads turn to me. Anton rolled his eyes while the unknown man smiles
" they're selling me their daughter Valentina " He answered. Suddenly, I didn't know why but I just felt angry
She's just seventeen years old
" no," I said. Nadya's smile slowly fell and she glanced at Anton who was now glaring at me
" don't. Start " he warns while growling.
I've always been loyal to my parents, more to my dad. I stood by his side while I grew up, following his orders and always serving him what he wanted.
There are some points where he shows me how truly evil he can be, he caused me a lot of pain and nightmares. But this time Anton is just losing his mind
