Ten time-bombs arriving soon."Adam strategically placed the bombs around the camp, hidden from view."Stand guard," Adam ordered his men. "Be prepared for anything.""I'll join General Adolph on the battlefield," Adam announced.His men exchanged skeptical glances. "But, Captain, the General's orders..." one began.Adam's stern expression silenced him.Most of Adam's men secretly hoped he'd be dismissed or fall in battle.

Eryndor sat on his throne, Grimp by his side. Before them, a map and blueprint covered a large table."Grimp, our city needs a name," Eryndor said, studying the map. "Something that reflects our unity and strength."Grimp nodded. "I like Gorvoth. It is strong and fierce."Eryndor smiled. "I prefer Astarlia. It sounds elegant and wise."Grimp chuckled. "You always were fond of fancy words, my lord."Eryndor's eyes sparkled. "Elyria it is, then."The blueprint showed plans for:Expanded farms for food securityAdvanced water systemsPublic libraries and schoolsA grand central squareGrimp pointed to the farms.

That evening, Janice and Adam headed to the marriage and divorce registry, a somber destination. Adam had tried to reason with Janice, but she was resolute.As they traveled, Janice lamented about Adam's inability to provide the life she desired. "A year of marriage, and I have nothing to show for it," she complained.Earlier, at her home, Janice's friend Rachael had fueled her dissatisfaction. "Since you married Adam, you've fallen behind our classmates and lost social status," Rachael pointed out.Janice had agreed, convinced by Rachael's words. Now, she saw Adam as a hindrance to her aspirations."I deserve better," Janice muttered, her mind made up.Adam remained silent, his heart heavy with sorrow. He knew he had more to offer, but Janice wouldn't give him the chance.As they arrived at the registry, Adam wondered if he could still change Janice's mind.As they rode to the divorce agency, Janice lashed out at Adam in the cab."How can you be so useless and expect me to stay with

Adam couldn't believe Janice dumped him for an ugly cow. The problem wasn't him not being lovable or caring or not doing his best.. no, the problem was Janice had already been cheating on him because she simply was just a materialistic woman who saw nothing but money. Adam couldn't believe this! He now knew exactly why Janice suddenly asked for a divorce; Janice was cheating on him, and when Terry couldn't bear to keep it a secret anymore, Janice then demanded for a divorce.. it all made sense now! He had been cuckolded without even knowing. When did it start? How long has they been sleeping with each other behind his back? Three months? Four months?

His mind immediately flashed back once again to what the middle-aged man had said. “I once had a wife who didn't see me as a nice fit for her. She

Adam took a cab to the Financial Horizon company building which was managed by Toreno, Terry's father. He knew what he had to do, but how to do it and get the best result was what he contemplated. 'I think I should call Danielle, she will give me the best idea there is.' he thought as he took out his phone and dialed a number. “Sir, do you need anything?” Danielle's voice rang forth. “Yes. I want to take over the Financial Horizon company. Make it happen. Also, replace Terry's father with one of our trusted replacements.” Adam spoke in a serious, authoritative tone. “Hohohoho!” Danielle chuckled “The young master is out for revenge. I love it. I will get it done in just an hour.” Danielle replied. “Good, I will be waiting for your call in an hour then,” Adam said, and disconnected the call. He then walked over to the café nearby for a cup of coffee while he waited for Danielle's call. He was in the café when he saw Terry's BMW pull up in the front parking lot. Then he sa
