The Adams family, a family almost old enough to be called ancient, ranked as he fourth most richest family in entirety of Rivera, although not among the 5 ancient families, the Adams family had prestige and honour, authority that is fully effective through out the whole of Rivera.
it was a name that people yearned for.
Master Adams and his wife were happily married and deep in love but unfortunately, couldn't bear a child. All effort to bring forth a child was futile as it almost started to seem like it was a mission impossible.
The Mr Adams entered the picture, being the miracle child dreamt of and wished for, he was overly pampered. he was told he was going to be the heir sinch he knew the meaning of the word but one thing was a deeply hidden secret.
A poor family of doctors had unknowingly developed a medicine that ncreased possibilities of child bearing, Master Adams bought the drugs, not with money but with the promise that the youngest son of the family would succed him, being the heir tohalf of the whole Adams eempire while his son would.d be heir to 5he other half if the medicine worked .
And behold it did!
Master Adams knew his son was not strong at heart, he agreed to the condition of the poor family because he felt his son would be strong enough to swindle the remaining half out of the hands of the poor and uneducated families last son.
But unfortunately, the poor boy proved to be even more capable than his son so when he did, he didn't include anything about the agreement and as it was only a verbal agreement, no one believed the poor by when he came to take what was rightfully his.
Mr Adams governed the whole Adams empire, he wasn't strong enough to increase the company's worth but he was able enough to keep it from falling backwards.
The poor boy started from scratch, he buildt his company to rival the Adams company u till it was strong enough to pull back the Adams family from the top ten richest family.
The poor boy was Mr. Storm, he was pained because his parent died in poverty from sickness when if he had gotten what he deserved, they would have lived a long and blissfully life.
Both his brothers were sentenced to death on accounts of drug trafficking,
And Mr adams secretely found out that the poor boy's clzme was true but he destroyed the evidence and kept it to himself.
Mr Storm built storm empire through bitterness pain and gnashing of teeth and it's sole purpose was to grind the Adams to nothingness.
Finally able to take out his anger on the Adams, the Adams food and drinks factory was one of the biggest businesses controlled by the aspdams, you could say it was as good as a strong pillar or even a backbone.
So Storm attacked it, he planted highly seduced drugs everywhere and alarmed the police. During the investigation, Mr Adams who was happily married with two children, Victor and Jane.
He came home very angry and dissapointed, the empire that was decades of years old was crumblingwhen it was his time. There was no one at home to vent his anger on, he was drunk and angry..
Then the beautifull maid who had being working with them since birth and was the only one who didn't qafter not being paid for so long.
And the way he repaid her...he raped her!
Those beautifull eyes stared at him wih so much horror, sorrow, regret and.....pity, pity for her boss that had destroyed both their lives.
She later got pregnant for Velvet and gave birth to her in secret, Mr.Adams was taken to jail for drugs smuggling and everything fell apart.
Mrs Adams was alone, pregnant and sick, she gave birth to lilly prematurely and died. Velvet's mum came back to the Adams family and took care of victor, Jane, velvet that was now 3 years old and the new born lily.
Mr storm took advantage of Mr Adams being in prison and took their place in the family ranking becoming the fourth richest family in Rivera.
When Mr. Adams came back to see all he created being raised to the grown, he married Velvet's mum for the sake of children then burued himself in the whirlpool of alcohol, determined to drown all his sorrows in alcohol.
He would come home when every one was asleep and force himself on her, over and over again.
Velvet's eyes watered as she remembered that night.
The little Velvet reassembled no one in the family till date with her fiery bright and sharp red coloured hair and eyes, her hair was tied into two pigtails. Her small eyes shot open at the screams in the night.
Her eyes watered in realisation, her room was right next to her mother's so all her mom's piercing screams were served to her, she grabbed her red Teddy, pulling it along with her as she ran to her mom's room, the muffled moans of tears turned into loud sobs as she hugged her stripped naked mother.
Her mom was being whipped again , under the mercy of her father's belt. The young man with livid eyes didn't stop, lashing out at the two coiled on the floor.
Till this day, she was still awoken by those moans of pain, it gave her sleepless nights until, her general fear for men drove her into learning martial arts but her mother begged her not to interfere.
