"Those are the transfer releases for all of Riley's designs. All copyrights are now in Riley's name. I won't be charging for its release, but I will keep the pieces left unsold until they have been bought," Brian revealed. He looked at Riley and added, "It's the least I could do for you, Riley."
"Why, thank you, Brian," Riley said, a hint of surprise reflected in her tone. "I appreciate it. How is... Claire?"
"I was supposed to file a complaint about the theft in the house, but Claire and her lawyer settled. She is giving back what she can from the condominium sale as a settlement," Brian reported. "So, I dropped the charges, but Mara, she is definitely going down."
"Oh, she is going down. No one can help that woman," Adrian remarked.
"Claire won't be imprisoned?" Riley's tone was almost scolding. "Brian, she is going to destroy another family."
"Riley, I can't with the second court filing. It's too costly, and I'll lose my chances of getting my money back from the condo. I want to focus on the annulment for now," Brian reasoned. "But don't worry. I have shared Claire's story to the press. At least in Halliport, everyone will know who Claire Monet is."
There was a brief silence in the room before Brian cleared his throat. He said, "Anyway. That's it for me. I'll be on my way. Be safe, Riley."
"Adrian, thank you," Brian said before leaving Adrian's office.
When Brian was gone, Riley flipped through the documents from Brey Jewelry. She was almost teary-eyed as she said, "I have my designs back, Honey."
She took the documents and sat on Adrian's lap. She hugged him tightly and said, "I'm getting everything I want because of you. Thank you so much."
Adrian caressed Riley's back. He pecked her cheek and asked, "Would you still be thankful even if getting involved with me almost got you kidnapped?"
"First of all, Adrian, we don't know yet if it's your stepfamily who had me kidnapped," Riley pointed out. "Second, I'm happy to take every risk to be with you."
With a smile, Riley claimed, "I know you'll keep me safe. I trust and believe you won't let anything happen to me from now on."
"I promise," Adrian swore. "And I will punish those who had tried to hurt you."
"I know that's today." Riley's jaws clenched as she said, "I want to see. I want to see them suffer for trying to even touch me."
Facing the kidnappers, Adrian scoffed. He said, "Really? Not even if you were faced with your greatest fears?"
The criminals were all confused, but later on, they discovered Adrian's form of torture was worse than any physical pain they had endured in the past.
"Aaah!" Screams echoed in the warehouse. "Let me out! Let me out! Ahh! Fuck you Adria - Lll!"
While the kidnappers were screaming at the top of their lungs, Riley, Clint, and the security team had varied reactions.
"Eeewww."
"Yuck!"
"No wonder the boss is the boss."
