Chapter 1:

As he sat there waiting, he couldn't help but feel that he was doing the right thing. It was a feeling that he didn't have often, but this time, he had it, and he knew that it was only a matter of time before what he had set out to do happened.

Adam Newman stood by the house, all dressed in black, hidden behind some thick bushes, waiting for the police to arrive. He had a reason for wanting them there, and the reason was revenge.

He was out getting revenge on the people who had wronged him and his family, who had made it their mission to keep him away from the love of his life, Chelsea, and their beautiful son, Connor. He felt that they needed to pay for what they had done, and he wasn't going to rest until they did.

When he saw the flashing lights of a police car coming, Adam emerged from the bushes. The officer, whose name was Jacobs, approached him.

"Are they in there, sir?" he asked. "Yes, Officer, they are. Do what you have to do," said Adam who then shook the officer's hand & simply walked away without so much as a glance back at the house. The backup Jacobs called for later arrived.

The next thing he knew, he heard a woman, who was in handcuffs, screaming, "Are you crazy? I did nothing wrong!" all the while her male companion, who looked completely baffled, cried out, "Kidnapping? What do you mean kidnapping?" All Adam could do was smile.

"One down. Several more to go," he said as he made his way to his hotel so he could rest & call his family.

His mission had begun, & it was about to get crazy.

The next morning, all of Genoa City was buzzing about the arrest of Chloe Fisher on felony charges of international kidnapping. The sight of her mother Esther Valentine in tears at the courthouse was broadcast on local & national TV.

As for Adam, all he could was smile. The bitch had finally gotten what had been coming to her for a long time. In this situation, revenge never tasted so sweet.

He knew that from the moment Chelsea had teamed up with Chloe to create a fashion company, he knew that there would be trouble. It got worse when her daughter Delia had been killed by a former lover of Billy Abbott's named Kelly Andrews, who was now in prison serving a 25-year sentence for various crimes including Delia's death.

Now Chloe was going to pay for her crimes, and that made Adam happy. With her facing possible prison time, he could now focus on the next person on his personal hit list.

He knew exactly who that next person was.
