Henry and Evelyn froze like deers caught in headlights as Adrian’s voice echoed throughout the hall. All eyes turned to them, and in that moment, they wished the ground would open up and swallow them whole. Evelyn was the first to regain her composure, and she instantly replied with a nervous chuckle. “Yes…but the thing is…” She trailed off as she scrambled for an excuse to give, and then it hit her. She quickly jabbed Henry’s stomach with her elbow, and the moment he winced, she wrapped an arm around his shoulder. “Henry suddenly developed a stomach upset!” She announced dramatically. “I need to take him to the hospital right away.” Henry immediately caught up to her plan and clutched onto his stomach, feigning more pained groans. “Ouch…it hurts.” Adrian cocked a brow as he instantly saw through their lies, and luckily for him, he was already two steps ahead. “That’s too bad,” he smacked his teeth in feigned sympathy. But then his expression lit up. “Fortunately, we have a

The hall was thrown into a panic-filled frenzy as Natalie pulled the trigger, and everyone’s heart lodged in their mouths as they dreaded what they’d see.As soon as the gun fired, Adrian stepped in front of Anita, completely shielding her.The world around him blurred as a sudden feeling overtook him and he saw the bullet moving in slow motion.His hand instinctively shot out and before he could even process it, the bullet got trapped between his fingers.The hot metal of the bullet would have seared the hand of an ordinary human, but Adrian was far from ordinary. The moment he realized he had caught the bullet, the world around him returned to normal.Natalie’s eyes widened in disbelief. “H-How..?” The words fell from her lips, but she didn’t complete them as she pulled the trigger again, with more force this time.Luckily for her, she had been wise enough to load the gun with more than one bullet.Adrian saw the second bullet coming and in one swift motion, he caught it with his o

As soon as Adrian made the announcement, all eyes turned to Anita, who looked completely stunned that the spotlight was on her.Adrian extended his hand toward her, a charming smile gracing his lips. “Come, Anita. Come to me.”Anita did her best to maintain a composed smile, hiding her unease as she gracefully approached Adrian.Regina and Vincent followed closely behind, their expressions equally confused.Anita was endowed in a shimmering, diamond studded powder-blue gown which had a thigh-high slit that revealed glimpses of her slender, toned legs as she walked.Her brown hair was styled in bouncy waves, and her beautiful features became more striking with the minimal makeup she had on.The guests all let out collective gasps as the spotlight followed her.Her flawless face, luscious hair, and the stunning dress made her seem like she had descended straight from heaven. Adrian was captivated by her radiating beauty, and couldn’t stop smiling.When Anita finally reached him and pla

The hug between Regina and Adrian lasted for a few seconds before Regina pulled back, and all the while Adrian’s eyes protruded from their sockets.He couldn’t just hide his shock.Regina’s hands lingered on his arms as she stared at him with affection. “I never thought I'd say this,” she admitted with a chuckle. “But I’m very grateful to you. I misjudged you, and I apologize for ever underestimating you.”It took Adrian a moment to regain his composure, and when he did, he offered Regina a warm smile. “It’s fine, mother-in-law. I’m just glad I’ve finally earned your approval.”Regina nodded. “I’m glad too. I hope this marks a new beginning between us moving forward.”And with that, Anita and her father joined in the hug to seal the emotional moment of reconnection and reconciliation.>>>>>The Engagement Day…The party was already in swing, although the main event hadn’t yet begun because Anita hadn't yet arrived.Dignitaries from all over Wibston were gathered in the grandiose hal

Anita’s eyes widened as her legs twitched again…and again. “Oh my God!” Her breath hitched as she regained sensation in her limbs. “I can feel my legs! I can feel my legs!”Regina and Vincent froze, their gazes gluing to her trembling limbs in pure disbelief.“You can feel your legs?” Regina echoed shakily. Anita nodded frantically as her fingers dug into the sofa while her legs kept twitching uncontrollably. When Adrian felt like he had transferred enough energy to Anita’s spine, he let go of her hand.A deep breath escaped his mouth as he felt the drain of energy from his body. His vision blurred for a moment before stabilizing, and when he finally looked at Anita, she was staring at him in awe.“How do you feel now?” He asked in a slightly hoarse voice.Anita let out an incredulous laugh. “My legs…I can feel them.” Her voice sounded very excited. “I can even move my toes. Look…”She demonstrated her words by wiggling them, her eyes shining with childlike wonder. “Good.” Adrian

Adrian maintained a serious expression as he met Anita’s confused gaze. “I have…abilities,” he confessed.Anita blinked, and she removed her hands from Adrian’s grip. “What?” Adrian inhaled and continued. “After coming in contact with the mystic scroll of an ancient Chinese grandmaster, I gained martial arts and healing abilities. I want to help you walk again, if you’ll let me.”There was a brief silence before Anita’s face contorted in deeper confusion. “This doesn’t make sense. How can a scroll give you abilities?”“Do you think we’re fools or something?” Regina scoffed from behind Adrian. “I thought you had changed from your slimy ways, but it seems I overestimated you.”“I have to agree with my wife on this one, son,” Vincent added with a frown. “Making a joke out of Anita’s condition is highly insensitive. I expected better from you.”Anita’s eyes glistened as she stared at Adrian with hurt written all over her face. “I can’t believe you would play with my feelings like this?

Katie gasped as her champagne glass slipped from her trembling hand and crashed to the floor. She blinked several times and rubbed her eyes to ensure she wasn’t hallucinating. Frederick became as stiff as a board, while Belinda and Jarod’s faces paled like they had just seen a ghost. “…Tyler?” Katie finally whispered, and the moment she mentioned the name, it spread like wildfire among the guests. “Did Katie just call that man, Tyler? Isn’t that the name of her delivery man ex-husband who disappeared years ago?” Someone whispered. “Impossible. I thought he was dead?” Another person chimed in. The murmurs which grew louder by the second, seemed to snap Frederick out of his shocked state. He stepped forward toward Tyler, directly shielding his sight from Katie, and eyed him with deep resentment. “What the hell are you doing here?” Tyler’s smirk widened, though his eyes remained cold. “What? Is it a crime to see how you all are doing? It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Frederick's

Wendy hesitated, then repeated herself carefully. “Frederick Hall and Katie Clark are getting engaged today, and I was invited.” Her brows furrowed when she noticed the change in Tyler’s demeanor. “Is there a problem, sir?” Tyler’s fist clenched on his lap, though his expression remained unreadable. “Katie is my ex-wife. And Frederick Hall…” His voice became colder. “…is the man who sent me to prison.” Wendy’s eyes widened as her hand covered her mouth. “Oh my days, sir! I had no idea! Please forgive me, I wouldn’t have agreed to attend if I had known…” “It's fine,” Tyler cut her off with a raise of his finger. “You won’t be attending, but I will.” Wendy blinked in surprise. “You mean…?” Tyler leaned back against the seat, and fixed his gaze on the cityscape outside the tinted window. “It’s time I saw my betrayers’ faces again.” Wendy studied him for a moment before finally nodding. “Understood, sir.” Her eyes raked over his outfit and lingered particularly on the coffee stai

Everyone’s heads turned toward the direction of the voice, and as the woman catwalked forward, the crowd instinctively cleared a path for her. She wore a navy blue corporate gown that hugged her curvy frame and her Christian Louboutin stilettos clicked rhythmically against the floor with every confident step she took. It took only a few seconds of her arrival before several gasps emanated from the onlookers as they recognized who she was. “Wait…isn’t that Wendy Nelson?” someone whispered in awe. “No way…it’s really her! The Vice President of the Continental Group!” another person exclaimed with wide eyes. The murmurs grew louder and a handful of people even rushed to snap pictures of her with their phones. Wendy ignored the noise as she walked straight to Tyler and stopped by his side. For a second, their eyes met, and she gave him a faint nod of acknowledgment, but he subtly shook his head, silently telling her to act like she didn’t know him. She understood his message im

The thief stiffened at Tyler’s words and his eyes flickered from the woman he had stolen the bracelet from back to Tyler. “Return what?” He furrowed his brows in feigned confusion. “The bracelet you just stole.” Tyler replied, his voice flat and his expression stoic. The thief chuckled and gave Tyler a condescending once over. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, punk. You must be hallucinating from all that cheap weed you smoke.” Then he stepped closer until he was within Tyler’s earshot, and his voice dropped to a threatening whisper. “Stop trying to play the hero. Act like you saw nothing before you regret it.” He flashed a yellow-toothed grin he thought looked intimidating and tried to brush past Tyler again, but Tyler placed a firm hand on his chest to stop him. “Your threats mean nothing to me,” Tyler said coldly. “This is your last chance. Return what you stole.” The thief’s eyes dropped to Tyler’s hand on his chest and his eyes glinted with devious mischief. “You’r

Tyler steadied himself and was filled with guilt as he stared at the brown stains quickly spreading across the lady’s white coat. “I’m sorry.” He apologized at once. “Are you alright?” The lady’s head snapped up to him and her eyes narrowed into a glare that could melt a glacier. She looked to be in her early twenties and was pretty with long brown hair and delicate features which were enhanced with a bit of makeup.Her expression at that moment was nothing short of pure outrage. “You idiot!” she spat in a voice filled with disdain. “Do I look alright? My coat…God my boots! They’re ruined because of you!” Tyler ignored her harsh tone and maintained his calm demeanor as he took out his phone. “I’m really sorry for bumping into you. Give me your account details and I’ll pay for the replacements.” The lady eyed Tyler from head to toe and her lips pursed in contempt. “You?” She scoffed with a mocking laugh and gestured gloatingly at her entire outfit. “Do you even know how much t

Tyler took the pen with his shoulders hunched in defeat, and his chest tightened as he stared down at the divorce papers. His grip on the pen trembled and he was close to backing out, but then his gaze darted to the lady. The blistering fear in her eyes as they fixated on the knife pressed against her throat, was all it took to break the last shred of his willpower. Clenching his jaw so tightly a headache began to form, he scribbled his signature above the dotted line provided on the paper. “There,” he spat when he finished. “I’ve done what you wanted. Now let her go.” “Finally!” Frederick clapped as his triumphant laughter echoed round the warehouse. “I knew you’d crumble. You really are a weak little loser.” The veins on Tyler’s face and neck bulged as he struggled to hold back his anger. “Let. Her. Go.” Frederick raised both his hands in mock surrender as his laughter subsided into a grin. “Relax. I am a man of my word after all.” “Drop the little heroine off somewher
