Seeing how fiercely Aria defended her aunt, Melanie smiled faintly.She wasn’t surprised. Not in the least.After all, Aria had always loved her Aunt Olga more than she ever loved herself. Even while they were growing up, Aria never tolerated the slightest form of humiliation directed at her aunt. A careless word, a subtle insult—she would shut it down immediately. If it ever escalated to abuse or neglect, Aria wouldn’t hesitate to drag the offender to court without blinking. That was the kind of loyalty she had always shown.So no, Melanie wasn’t shocked by Aria’s defense.What unsettled her—what she could never support—was something far more disturbing.Olga wasn’t just standing by Aria. She was fully supporting her. Advising her. Encouraging her to marry the very man who had raped her repeatedly.A man who beat her whenever she refused to sleep with him.A man whose so-called love was nothing more than a sick obsession with her body.Melanie’s smile slowly faded as the weight of it

While Tyler’s plan was driven by emotion, Aria’s intentions were quietly taking shape.Her eyes lingered on her aunt for a moment longer than necessary. The memory of their earlier conversation resurfaced—how her aunt had spoken to her, how she had been forced to revisit her past… Brantley. Just thinking about it made Aria’s chest tighten with anger.She never wanted to discuss that chapter of her life again. Never. Yet, one way or another, her aunt always found a reason to drag it back into conversation—an intrusion that unsettled Aria deeply and robbed her of her peace.She took a slow breath, trying to steady herself, hoping the anger would fade.Footsteps suddenly echoed behind her.Aria turned.It was Melanie.“Babe! What’s up?” Melanie exclaimed, walking closer with a wide grin. “You’re definitely happy, right? I mean—especially after marrying the love of your life yesterday!”Melanie, Aria’s friend, didn’t even pause to read her mood. Her excitement spilled out before Aria coul

Tyler rose to his feet and took a few slow steps away from Lu Chen. As he moved, he spoke, his voice low but edged with restrained anger.“Olga Acosta isn’t just a name,” he said. “She’s a brand—one built on manipulation and the abuse of innocent minds. And she used that skill to twist Aria into believing that I’m some kind of pedophile.”Lu Chen straightened, his expression tightening.“How do we correct this, sir?” he asked, his gaze fixed on Tyler. “And as for Miss Acosta—she was supposed to believe you when you said you weren’t responsible for any of the accusations Olga placed on you.” He paused, then added firmly, “You risked your life to save hers, didn’t you? It’s long past time she understood the truth. So why didn’t she believe you when you told her you were completely innocent?”At that, Tyler’s mind drifted back to that moment.He remembered Aria’s face clearly. At first, she had looked torn—struggling to believe her aunt’s words. But then, suddenly, everything changed. Sh

Aria’s anger simmered beneath the surface, growing with every word her aunt spoke. She wished she could speak her mind, truly tell her Aunt Olga everything that was brewing inside her. The resentment, the frustration, the disbelief. But the nature of their bond, the deep-rooted love she had for her aunt, held her back. She couldn’t bring herself to shatter the fragile peace they shared.Even when Olga had bluntly declared, “You will marry Brantley, whether you like it or not!”Aria had to fight the urge to lash out, to argue, but instead, she swallowed her pride and kept her voice steady.“No problem, Auntie.” Her voice was calm, but her words carried the weight of unspoken thoughts. “This whole situation needs to be sorted out, I agree. I know what you're hoping for, what you want from this marriage, but at the same time... I need you to understand that I’m not ready for marriage again. Especially not with Brantley.”Olga’s face twisted in confusion, her brow furrowing deeply. “Meani

The question lodged itself in Olga’s throat like a sharp bone.For a moment, she couldn’t breathe—couldn’t think. Words deserted her completely. This was not how the conversation was supposed to go. In her mind, this meeting had already been settled: she would speak, Aria would listen, and in the end, Aria would quietly accept her opinion.Never had she imagined that Aria would question her—question right and wrong—especially not when the matter concerned Brantley.That alone unsettled her.Still, Olga was not the kind of woman who let opportunities slip through her fingers. No. This was something she would never allow to escape her reach. In her mind, this was already in motion. She had started planting the seed, started nudging Aria toward the path she wanted for her—and she intended to see it through to the very end.So when Aria asked that question, Olga forced herself to remain composed.Even though words had momentarily failed her, she knew one thing for certain: if she didn’t p

Elena felt it deep in her heart. The moment she had waited for, the moment she had dreamed of for years, was finally becoming real. Franco was coming to see her face to face.She stood beside her mother as the crowd around them continued chanting loudly.“El Riffiano! El Riffiano!”The sound rolled through the air like thunder. Elena straightened her back, adjusted her posture, and forced herself to stand tall. She prepared herself, both in body and in mind, to welcome Franco. Then she turned to her mother, her eyes bright with excitement, and pointed straight at the helicopter in the sky.“That’s Franco!” she exclaimed, her voice barely able to contain her joy. “Oh my God, he’s finally here. I can’t wait for him to come over to this side and enjoy the beautiful meal I prepared for him!”Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke. Her eyes followed Franco as he stepped down from the helicopter, her breath catching in her throat.Damn.Is this really the same man?The thought hit her har

All around them, the crowd erupted in unison."Yes! Yes!" voices echoed back at the announcement, a wave of excitement rippling across the airport grounds.Despite the blazing sun overhead, no one moved an inch. Some had managed to squeeze themselves under whatever shade they could find—beneath banners, under palm trees, or huddled near the terminal walls. But many stood tall and proud right under the scorching heat, not daring to lose their spot. The Ruffian Lord was worth it.Elena nudged her mother eagerly, her eyes scanning the area like a hunter zeroing in on her prey.“The Lord is almost here,” she whispered, voice shaking with anticipation. “We have got to position ourselves somewhere we’ll be noticed. We need to be visible, mind-free, and ready for anything.”She grinned wide. “I can’t wait to meet Franco again—”She suddenly froze, eyes wide, and slapped a hand over her mouth as if trying to shove the words back in.“Oops! I meant—the Ruffian Lord. I can't wait to see the Ruf

Elena, her mother, her sister Maya, and Edgar stepped through the grand entrance of Ruffian Airport, their eyes wide with awe. The moment they set foot inside, it was clear—this wasn’t just an airport. It was a statement.Everywhere Elena looked, the atmosphere screamed wealth, power, and a level of luxury that could make royalty feel underdressed. The chandeliers alone looked like they cost a small fortune, and the marble floors shimmered like they'd been polished with gold dust.“Elena,” her mother whispered, almost as if afraid to speak too loudly in such opulence, “this place is... unbelievable.”And she wasn’t wrong. The entire family stood still for a moment, trying to take it all in. Elena’s mouth was slightly open, her mind racing. What is this place? she thought. This isn’t a regular airport. This is a monument.Everything had been customized to suit the Ruffians' taste—bold, extravagant, and untouchable. Anyone who had the rare chance to be in this space clearly didn’t reali

Helen almost crashed to the ground if not for the women beside her who quickly caught her. She steadied herself, her chest heaving as she looked up at Elena with eyes full of fury. Her anger boiled so hard it nearly consumed her.No one had ever dared to call her barren before. Yes, she had been married to the Minister for fifteen years without a child—but it wasn’t by choice. On her very first wedding anniversary, she had been in a terrible accident that led to a dangerous surgery. The procedure left her womb permanently removed, robbing her of the chance to ever conceive.From that day onward, Helen had lived with the unhealed wound of childlessness. It was her greatest weakness, her deepest insecurity. And whenever anyone mocked her for not having a child, it tore her apart inside.Elena knew this. She had known it for years. Back when her uncle was the CEO of Froston Group, he often instructed her to research their potential clients, many of whom were politicians. In one of those

Hearing Elena’s words, the whole place fell silent.Many of them secretly agreed with her, but guilt kept their mouths shut. Amidst the hushed side whispers and the live stream’s rapidly multiplying viewers, Elena lifted her gaze and spoke again.“Everybody has their own life to live. I have mine, and you have yours. So leave me to my destiny. Don’t fucking tell me what to do when you haven’t even told yourself what to do. You are not my Creator—so what right do you have to judge me?”Her voice carried across the crowd, cutting through the air like a blade. The silence deepened. Nobody was even checking anymore if the Ruffian Lord had arrived or not; all eyes were on Elena. They stared, many silently agreeing with her words but lacking the boldness to admit it.Even Rita herself was shocked. She could hardly believe the transformation she was seeing in her daughter. Elena had always been haunted by this particular incident—so much so that it gave her sleepless nights whenever she reme

“Zo…zo…Zora?” Oliver's lips couldn't even complete the words!Desmond Leo on the other hand was shocked. He thought he killed Zora but No! That wasn't the case! Zora survived the death.She remembered regaining consciousness and making some plans with the doctor. The doctor was to give her an ANESTHESIA which would make her seem dead and after her burial concluded, she was dug out.Her new goal was to make Desmond Leo suffer for all the pain he made her and Oliver pass through. So, she thought of a way to make Leo's world miserable and then remembered his girlfriend, Zoey who is abroad.Her findings reveal that she has the same body style and posture as Zoey so she planned with her doctor and they got Zoey's face in a mask form on the day Zoey arrived in H country, she was abducted and Zora took her position.“It was a nice plan, wasn't it?” Zora asked, pulling out a cute smile on her face. Oliver still can't believe that Zora is alive. Is he dreaming or what?“And together with my

CHAPTER 190: SEMI FINALESeeing Zoey standing there in determination, Desmond Leo was happy!He got up instantly and walked to her back.“I'm glad you came here, Hun!” He kissed her and Zoey smiled.“You think that you can get me killed so easily, huh?” Leo directed to Oliver. Do you think that you can destroy me or perhaps take me away from the surface of this earth? Never!”“Leo is right, Oliver!” Zoey supported her boyfriend, her furious eyes fixed on Oliver! “Why would you dare to shoot my soon-to-be husband? Don't you know that there are repercussions for every of your crime? And the crime of shooting him is DEATH!”“So what is the price of him gunning down my grandfather? Why would you see the truth but still cover up the truth?” Oliver asked, aiming at coercing Zoey to turn away from Desmond Leo.“He killed my grandpa. He abducted those innocent children. He killed a lot of people. He committed a lot of crime and you are still supporting him?”Desmond Leo grabbed Oliver's colla

CHAPTER 189:“Where are you going, Oliver? Please, Come back, Oliver. The police will settle this….” Miranda was speaking to herself at this moment because Oliver was more determined than ever before!He hopped into his car and drove off, following the route Desmond Leo took.As Leo drove so fast, Oliver followed him at a higher speed!Desmond Leo realized that Oliver was following him and smiled. “I think he wants to die! I will make him suffer to the end of the day!”He drove speedily and Oliver continued chasing him. In the end, Desmond Leo halted his car and came down from it, standing before Oliver's car!“Come on, Oliver! Let's finish this battle we started Eighteen years ago!” He pronounced, spreading his hands as if he wanted to ascend to heaven!Oliver stopped his car right before Desmond Leo and stepped down.“Why did you kill Grandpa?” Oliver asked with a low tone. “He didn't do anything to you! He loved you like a father even when he knew that you were not a true member

“..... I hereby announce Desmond Leo as the failed opponent to Oliver Smith! And with that same power vested in me as the Head of this family, I hereby declare Oliver Smith as the New Head of the T family!” Charlie Thale concluded and Desmond Leo's ego dropped instantly.Did he hear that correctly? Did CHARLIE THALE just mention Oliver as the new Head of T family?“NEVER!”Desmond Leo screamed instantly, pulling the attention of all the guests who were rejoicing on Oliver's behalf.“I will never be alive and watch Oliver become the Head of the T family! Never! This is cheating and I know that you all conspired against me because nobody loves me in this family! Nobody loves me!” “You are the person who doesn't love yourself, Leo!” Oliver spoke up immediately. “You brought all these upon yourself by making everyone your enemy. Even those that love you, you chased them all away and made yourself the villain. Grandpa loves you, I love you, we all love you!” “That's a big LIE!” Desmond L

CHAPTER 187:Immediately Desmond Leo sighted Oliver, his phone beeped. He checked it and saw it was a text from Darius.“Sorry to tell you this, Sir Leo, but Oliver managed to leave the scene. He didn't do this alone, your private G-Wagon took him off!”Desmond Leo was so surprised especially as Oliver walked on the aisle and approached them.“I apologize for being late! However, my car was attacked and I lost the power to make a call! Please accept my apologies!”Oliver declared, staring at Desmond Leo with a cute smile.Oh My God, Oliver is so cute!As Oliver said this, Charlie Thale wouldn't stop smiling. The crowd was already cheering.“You may proceed to your stand, Oliver Smith!” Charlie Thale said and Oliver bowed before walking out.He stood beside Desmond and still smiled at him.One thing is to attack someone but another thing is to watch the person you attacked escaping from you through your help!That was Oliver's case! When he was searching for a network, a white G-Wagon

Rico and Fred's eyes hit together. Fred gave him that glare which he knew the meaning of. He knew that Fred wasn't at fault. Noticing how Rico stared at Fred, Claire immediately "Really? Are the glances necessary?" Rico sighed before saying "Claire, believe me, this..." "Cut to the chase, Rico! I only want to hear the truth and nothing more" Claire cut off his utterance and he added "At least, give me the chance to explain myself inside the house, not here" Rico said and Claire moved out for his passage. After thinking about how he would make everything clear to Claire, Rico sighed again. "Come on, Rico. We're in this together. We accepted you into our home not only to live with us but to ensure that we live in loyalty..." Claire said and added "Please, Rico, tell us how the orchester crystal got into your nerve" It was a very hard decision to make but Rico had no choice but to spill out the beans. "It is true that I have the crystal in my brain. The crystal has been given

Rico dashed off to Auguste's mansion. Auguste and Beatrice weren't around. Rico had made up his mind to destroy Auguste and bring everything to an end. When he got to Auguste's compound. He teleported himself to his lab. There, he saw all of the systems that he used in producing Zombies. He saw the one that showcased the total number of infected people in the world.He touched the system and said"How evil people can be! I can't believe that Auguste has this evil intention. He should thank his stars that he isn't home, otherwise, he might be in the land of the dead with his accomplices!"He gazed up and visualized everything in the lab. He further walked up to the other labs. There, he saw all manner of machines. He raised a small metallic machine that had the structure of a microscope. He gazed at it thoroughly before wondering to himself"For real? How did they invent all these?""This targets the number of people in the world. This is where they store all the information about ind

Rico met with Fred in haste. It seemed as though he took his Promise likely. Auguste and his team really have to pay. "Fred, I want you to link my thoughts to reality!""But why now, Rico? You know very well that it's very hard to do that at the moment. If I may ask, why do you want to link your thoughts to reality?"Fred inquired and Rico grabbed his Amazon suitcase. His face wasn't friendly, looking so strict."Auguste and his team have done enough, it is time to teach them a very big lesson!"Fred nodded and asked him to sit down. His system was previously connected to the Amazon system making it easier for Fred to carry out his mission successfully. He brought a systematical ball which was small in size and magnetic. He placed it on Rico's head to connect his thoughts to reality.The ball connected to his Amazon system successfully. He pressed a red button and Rico's head started vibrating. His head twitched profusely and unstoppably."Focus on your target, Rico. Bring them to r

The circa has changed a lot. The internal part now glows in orange. "What am I seeing? This is no longer a building, are we in another planet?"Fred inquired, shocked. The internal part of the Circa was covered with a magic orb. "Fred, I think the crystal did a great job. The circa is even more developed, bur how do we get in?"Rico inquired because the orb blocked their entrance which covered the internal part of the circa. The magic orb was a small shimmering ball which was similar to a tennis ball but unlike a tennis ball, the orb was transparent and glowed.From the external view, you can't see what us happening inside but from the internsl part of the circa, you can see everything that is happening outside.The magic orb was shimmering in orange as Rico and Fred figures a way to get inside. Rico had a plan which he thinks might be successful. He was developed with powers, so there is a possibility that once he touched the glowing orb, it might open.Rico closed his eyes and too

Rico opened his eyes immediately and it glowed. He was aware of the danger that was about to befall him. This mission will be very hard but Rico has to fulfill his calling. It was the middle of the night. He walked to the vicinity where he systematically changed into Rico. He dashed off to save the night! A woman was still waiting for her drunkard husband to return. She was yawning and lost in sleep but was conscious at the same time.Immediately, the floor started shaking. This jolted her to reality. She stood up to check why the ground Shaked.Immediately, someone grabbed her legs from below. She screamed and attempted to run away but the person also stretched forth his other hand and came out with so much sand coming out from his body.It was a zombie! She looked around and saw a flower vase. She hit the zombie and ran straight to her daughter's room to ensure her safety. There was worse!Zombies surrounded her daughter! She screamed and the zombies diverted their attention to her

Rico wouldn't leave without saving anyone in danger. Nigeria was in grave danger, not Nigerians but their president. Rico couldn't ignore the visions of the aged man being eaten by Zombies. He flashed into the giant of Africa for a rescue. To the province of Mr President, the Zombies were even his guards.Mr. President was having a peaceful sleep. He'd transferred his wife and children to another country because of the outbreak while staying back to protect his country.Rico sneaked inside Mr. President's house and his hand started glowing. His nerves were systematically active. His hand glowed brighter pointing him to where the Zombies were. He speedily moved to Mr. President's room.A zombie was about to attack him when Rico stretched his hand and pulled him away. Another approached him but he used massive air to blow him off to hit the wall. Mr. President was wowed! Rico moved to him"Are you okay Sir?""Of course I am"The president responded while still gazing at Rico. Now, he r
