“What? You want a divorce?” Sylvester stared wordlessly at Emily. The desperation and frustration on her face weighed down heavily on him. The pain in his legs could not compare to that in his heart as he watched her breakdown. “You shouldn’t say things like that, Emily.” He sighed. Wasn’t a divorce simply going too far? He was almost close to his goal.This was the most he could do in his state. “Knowing too much right now is not good. I promise to explain everything to you when I’m done. Trust me.” He moved his wheelchair closer to her.“Don’t come closer, Sylvester.” Emily felt a rollercoaster of emotions wash over her. He sounded genuine, like he really cared. Yet, his secretive ways told her another story. A million theories flew around her mind as to his reason, but there was no good conclusion.“I want to know, Sylvester!” She cried out, her hands grabbing a fistful of her hair. “Are you in trouble? After all, ever since we’ve gotten married, I’ve been ridiculed. What more are

Time stood still as Sylvester stood on his feet, strength coursing from his sturdy legs to the rest of his body.At last. The time and money spent at the secretive monthly military rehabilitation programme had finally paid off. His lips turned slightly in a faint smirk. How glad he was to finally be able to stand after two years of being paralysed. He also had Emily to be grateful for.Not only had she been patient with him for all these months, not asking him where he kept disappearing with her money until now, but she had also been the reason he was now on his feet.Now, he could finally leave the military rehabilitation centre to focus on the things that actually mattered— cultivating his strengths and making it up to his wife, Emily.Isabella’s face contorted from one of shock to pure disdain. It was almost like she didn't care that he was now on his feet. If anything, she appeared intimidated."Congratulations to you, Mr. Wright," she clapped, mocking him with her words. "You c

Sylvester clenched his fist, his wife’s family was more devious than he expected. Emily didn’t deserve all this.“I will not let any of you ridicule my wife. The company belongs to her alone.” Sebastian stepped forward, his voice booming with authority. Cullen regained his composure and sneered, “Who do you think you are to meddle in our family’s business, cripple?” His words made the rest of the family calm down. He was right, Sebastian was only a cripple.Emily felt a heat in her heart, “My husband is not a cripple. As you can well see, he walks.” She said, walking to stand by Sebastian’s side. She didn’t know what she was doing but she couldn’t bring herself to ignore Cullen especially when he was speaking against Sebastian.“Just because his limbs are functioning doesn’t mean his brain is. He doesn’t have a right to involve himself. Hand over the company, Emily.” The matriarch was not amused about the whole situation.She had wanted to keep quiet but these people were getting bol

The door to the house had shattered and some men in black walked in.“Are you sure this is his place?” The one who had spoken, had a red rope around his clothes, and he held a sword.“This was what Master Zhong told us. One of our watchers had sensed a small hint of his aura around this area.” Another person answered.The red-roped man sighed. “We have been to all the houses in this street and I even killed someone thinking he was the one. We can’t make that mistake again.” He gripped his sword tightly.“Yes boss. However, I am sure of this. This is the place. I can sense the cultivation energy.” The man confirmed as he looked around.“You are right, but it looks so empty, let’s go up.” The roped man answered.Sylvester sighed. He was careless. He’d have to move Emily out of here soon.Good thing she wasn’t around today, if not it would have been worse.His muscles tensed, and the urge to test his skills quickened, but to get rid of these people, he had to be smart.“Come here, all th

Cullen parked his car in front of the large gates and stepped out with a certain squareness to his shoulders – the type that screamed his lack of humility.“Midas’ Touch,” he read the illuminated sign aloud and scoffed. He was a member of one of the most prestigious houses in the city. It didn’t matter who was in there. They would give him the contract and partnership, for sure.For him, this was more than just taking the company from his sister. All his life, he had always wound up feeling sub-par to no one. No one but his sister. To him, she was the only one that didn’t see him for the God he was.Him sealing the deal in this company would put his sister to shame, and she would finally kneel before him.Oh, he could visualize it. He could taste the power. It tasted citrus-ey, with a mix of grape and honey. If only he could manufacture the taste from his mind.He dropped his car keys in the hands of the nearest person to the lot, assuming they were the valet service. “If a single s
