Chapter 129 - Suprise
The young man took a deep breath and, without any more hesitation, walked up the stairs, pushed the glass door open, and stepped into the building. His eyes flitted around and fell on a receptionist who stood at the table near the entrance.
He snapped his fingers and one of his men arrived. He walked up to the receptionist and received the key to his young master's flat, then ordered the others to follow behind them.
They used the elevator to ride up to the second floor and strode out when the door opened.
They glanced around and immediately their eyes sighted the door with the number "205" above it, they halted. The bodyguard swiped the card on the lock and the door creaked open.
They pushed the door open and the young man stepped in. His eyes glanced around the room, and a broad smile emerged on his brims.
The living room was quite vast, with a wide, tall glass window and a huge chandelier that emitted a luminous light.
The young man took a subtle breath and slowly strolled towards the window. He stood still and shoved his hands into his pocket, then lifted his eyes to gaze out to the horizon. As though a thought came to his mind, a wide loving smile made its way to his lips, and he lowered his head as he chuckled softly.
His men busied themselves with unloading his belongings, and the moment they were done, they took their leave, giving him his privacy.
The young man shut the door and locked it, then walked into his bedroom. He glanced around and plopped into the bed, then raised his eyes to glance at the chandelier hanging on the ceiling.
He took a deep breath and stood up from the mattress, then made his way into the bathroom to have a nice shower. The moment he was done, he slid into his night robe and laid down on the bed.
He reached out his hand and grabbed his phone, which was on a mini brown table near his bed. He turned it on and went into his gallery, then clicked on a photo of him and a girl at a park. A smile couldn't help but form on his brims, showing just how much he missed the girl in the photo, and he hugged the phone to his chest. "I am finally back." He closed his eyes and, with one last soft breath, he drifted off to sleep.

The next day arrived in the twinkle of an eye, and Adrik blinked his eyes open. He proceeded to get up from the bed, but Leia's arms and legs that were wrapped around him restrained him from doing so.
He turned his head to glance at her, and a smile couldn't help but form on his lips at how adorable and peaceful she looked while sleeping.
He tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears and leaned down, placing a tender kiss on her forehead. He withdrew her arms and legs from his body and slowly climbed down from the bed to avoid waking her up.
He ambled to the mirror and stared at his reflection. A pessimistic expression emerged on his face, and a deep sigh couldn't help but exit his mouth. "Mother Mary..." He whispered to himself, and her image emerged in his mind. "Where exactly are you?" He asked, hoping to get an answer, but nothing happened.
Adrik pinched between his brows and straightened up, then turned around to walk to the bathroom, but he jolted back on seeing Leia standing in front of him while rubbing her eyes. "Is something wrong, Adrik?" She implored, and Adrik slightly shook his head.
"Nothing is wrong. When did you wake up?" His brow creased a bit, and he stared intently at her. Damn, he thought she was a ghost for a moment there.
"I just woke up now. Mhm...I saw you gazing at yourself in the mirror, so I thought something was wrong." She clarified, and he slowly nodded at her. He walked to her and sat her down on the bed, then squatted down to her level. "Anywhere you want to go today, little wife?"
Leia squinted her lashes and smiled at him. "The park. I love it there." Adrik nodded at her and stood up, then grabbed her by the hand and led her into the bathroom.
They had a nice long shower and dressed up the moment they were done. They made their way downstairs to the dining room and had their breakfast, then strolled to the living room and plopped down on the sofa.
Leia wrapped her arms around Adrik and rested her head on his chest.
Adrik grabbed his laptop and placed it on his lap, then proceeded to work on it. However, the telephone on the mini table suddenly rang and he reached out his hand to grab it. He placed it near his ear and waited for the caller to speak.
[Hello, Mr. Avalanzo. I am calling to let you know that the test results will be available today. So please, you can come to the hospital in the afternoon to take it]
Adrik replied with an okay, and dropped the telephone back into its place on the table.
He turned his head to look at Leia, and Leia fluttered her eyes in bewilderment. "Is... something wrong?" She inquired when she saw the worried expression on his face.
Adrik shook his head at her and pulled her closer to him. "Little wife, Mr. Robert called and... It seems that the test result will be ready today instead of tomorrow, so we will be going there around the afternoon time to collect it." He explained, and a low breath escaped Leia's nose. She slightly nodded at him and relaxed on his muscular body.
Adrik stroked her arms and resumed working on his laptop.
