CHAPTER 1- The Uninvited Guest
Adrian Lancaster pushed open the door to Room 308 on the second floor of the cruise ship, only to be met with the unmistakable voices of a man and a woman coming from the bedroom. "Honey, I’ve been holding back for days, I’m about to lose it." “Come on, ahh~ My pants ... take them ... off, will you? Ahh~~” BOOM! It was as if thunder had struck Adrian right in the ears. His face paled. Because the voice that spoke next belonged to Isabelle—his wife! Three years ago, they had met at a small banquet. Sparks flew, and soon after, they were married. Though she was diagnoised with multiple myeloma shortly after their wedding, Adrian never left her side. He took care of her through the worst and even donated his own healthy bone marrow—saving her life. A week ago, when Isabella told him she was pregnant, he had been over the moon. Even though his startup company was on the verge of bankruptcy, he’d spent his savings to buy two luxury cruise tickets for a seven-day geta
CHAPTER 2- The Ultimate Deception
“Don’t worry, I’ve got him wrapped around my finger. Even though he’s broke ... now, he still used the last of his money ... to buy this cruise.” As if remembering something funny, Isabelle giggled. “I even changed the order secretly to include a ticked for you. Otherwsie, how would we have this happy week together?” “You little canny vixen,” Lucian laughed and pinched her nose. “I can’t wait to see his face when he finds out the truth that you merely targeted him for his bone marrow. What a pathetic sucker.” Isabelle lifted her chin proudly, “He should be honored I even chose him!”Adrian felt like his heart was being ripped apart.He never imagined the truth would be this ugly… this cruel.And he had never found Isabelle’s voice as harsh and grating as he did today. “Poor guy. You’ve really ruined him.” Lucian laughed. “You pity him?” Isabelle rolled her eyes. “Hell no!” Lucian laughed, then he sneered mockingly. “If his bone marrow hadn’t been a match, do you th
CHAPTER 3- Vows to Violence
With a roar, Adrian kicked the bedroom door open. BANG! All hell broke loose. “Ah!” Isabelle screamed, grabbing a towel to cover herself. Lucian jumped up from the bed. However, when he saw it was Adrian, he anxiety turned in laughter. “Well well, Isabelle ... looks like the plan’s a bust!” Isabelle’s face turned pale. “Adrian? I thought you were planning a surprise dinner. Why are you back so soon?” “Sorry to interrupt your fun,” Adrian said, his face dark, his voice mocking. “If I hadn’t come back earlier, I’d never know how many ‘surprises’ you had in store for me.” “Adrian, it’s not what it looks like, I—” “I saw it. I heard it. Are you seriously going to tell me I imagined it all?” Adrian’s voice trembled with fury. “Isabelle, I never thought you’d be such a filthy slut!” His words struck her like a whip. Isabelle dropped the act and went cold. “Well, you found out. So what? We’ve already drained you dry. You’ve got nothing left." "Initial
CHAPTER 4- Left for Dead
Isabelle’s breath caught in her throat as she stared down at Adrian’s seemly lifeless body.“Lucian,” she whispered, “What do we do now?”Lucian got back to his feet and spat right on Adrian’s face.Then the next moment, his lips curled into a cruel smile. "Perfect! Let's stick to the original plan, then."“We toss him overboard, into the sea.” “We’re in the middle of the ocean. No witnesses. No evidence. Just a tragic ‘accident.’”Isabelle shuddered but her eyes lit up.Yeah, they could stick to their original plan!The only difference was Adrian wasn’t drugged beforehand but instead got knocked out by her.But then, it made no difference, did it?Lucian was already moving. He quickly rolled a sheet over Adrian's body and began dragging Adrian toward the door.BOOM! RING! RING! RING!!!However, just as they reached the cabin door, a loud crash echo from further down the corridor.And the alarm grew louder and louder.And then, there were footsteps and voices. Isabelle’s breath c
CHAPTER 5- Terra's Will
Immediately, a massive flood of energy and information slammed into Adrian’s mind.Just when he thought his head would explode, a cooling stream of energy flowed gently from his forehead, slowly spreading through his brain, limbs, organs, blood, muscles, and bones ...... until his entire body was bathed in a miraculous, soothing coolness.To Adrian, it was like stepping into a magical dream.Even more bewildering, he felt no pain anymore—Not from the bone marrow donation that had tortuned him so far, nor the injuries Lucian and Isabelle left behind.Instead, a strange, soothing numbness spread through him.What’s happening ...?He struggled to open his eyes or move his fingers, but his body wouldn’t repond.As the pressure faded, Adrian found his mind was flooded with strange knowledge: ledendary energy techniques, powerful martial arts, miraculous medical skills, cursecraft, prophecy, alchemy ... All recorded in a book titled Inheritance of Terra's Will, now etched into his soul.
CHAPTER 6- Marry you?
Adrian had good reason to say so.After processing the newly gained knowledge in his brain, and recalling the details of when he had been intimate with the woman, he was now absolutely certain that she had been drugged with a powerful, addictive aphrodisiac.If she hadn’t accidentally ended up in his room, engaged with him, and had her condition neutralized by the energy in his body, she would have completely fallen into the hands of the man behind the drug, becoming his plaything."Thank you?" Sophia scoffed, her voice trembled with rage. "You took my dignity! You’re a rapist!"Adrian remained unfazed. "Your dignity would mean nothing if you were dead.""And ... think carefully before you speak, you were the one who forced yourself on me," he said, his voice deep, steady.“You liar, you b...”Tears welled in Sophia’s eyes as she retorted,. But then, her words faltered as the scenes from last night came rushing back to her.Last night, she had a meeting with a big shot at a restau
CHAPTER 7- Saved Again
As Adrian undid more of her buttons, Sophia squeezed her eyes shut in despair.She gasped for air, helpless and unable to resist at all.Yet the scene she had feared — being assulted by Adrian — never happened.Instead, after swiftly removing her clothes, Adrian began pressing and kneading different spots along her neck and back with rapid, precise movements.As his fingers moved faster and his strength increased, Sophia felt a warm current flow through her neck and chest, as if flushing out the sickness from within her body.Sophia couldn’t help but let out a comfortable moan, and after realizing what she had just done, she blushed.Thirty seconds later, to Sophia’s astonishment, the suffocating feeling completely vanished.She could breath steadily again!How come? What did Adrian do? Was he a legendary doctor or what?Looking at Adrian, who was panting heavily as if he had been utterly drained, Sophia was filled with shock and doubt.“Get dressed,” Adrian said rougly, slumping onto
CHAPTER 8- The Bansihed Son
A deafening blast from the cruise ship’s horn shook the dockside as the ship docked.By this time, Adrian had fully recovered and he disembarked without hesitation.His steps steady and his eyes like steel. He was no longer the same man who had boarded this ship—blinded by love.Now, he was walking away from the wreckage. And he had one final knot to cut.The divorce.But just as he stepped unto the dock, the atmosphere shifted.A fleet of luxury cars pulled up beside him, their sleek black exteriors gleaming under the midday sun. The crowd stirred in confusion and awe as suited bodyguards flowed from the vehicles.They moved with practiced precision.Without a word, they stretched a golden-edged silk drape between four poles, sealing off the space like royalty had arrived.The crowd reluctantly stepped back, still mummiring among themselves.Sophia Aldridge, about to head to the car pack, paused. Her eyes narrowed with curiosity.Farther off, Isabelle and Lucian stood at the edge
CHAPTER 9- Box of Secrets
Then, he raised an eyebrow, his eyes shone with mockery. “Oh right, I heard that bitch’s barren.” He curled his lip. "What a pity." But clearly, there was no pity in his voice. If anything, there was hatred. Richard’s expression didn’t waver, but his voice lowered, his head bowed. "Young Master, your father has his reasons." Adrian scoffed. "Reasons? Can’t control his lower half, huh?" “Being so obsessed with that bitch that he could act like nothing happened with my mother’s death?” “To the hell with his reasons!” Adrian had been tormented inside all these past years. If he could get revenge, he definitely would, but he knew he couldn’t make a move easily. As the only legitimate heir of the Lancaster Family—one of the top three aristocratic families on the Kindoria Continent, he had known since childhood how powerful the Lancaster Family was. It was a force even the highest rulers of the Kindoria Continent would treat with caution. And how could he, alone, possibly
CHAPTER 10- Cutting all Ties
Meanwhile, Sophia reached for the car door handle when her phone vibrated violently in her purse.She frowned, fishing it out quickly. The screen flashed her father’s name.“Dad?” she answered.“Sophia, your grandfather collasped this morning! Hurry to St. John’s Hospital,” came her father’s anxious voice from the phone.“What?” Sophia’s stomach dropped. She only learned the day after boarding that her grandfather and father had arrived at Silver City for a market inspection.She never expected that the next news she would hear was about her grandfather being hospitalized.“I’m on my way!”Sophia didn’t waste a second. The disturbing haze of the cruise, the drugging issue vanished. Only one thing mattered now.Her grandfather.Meanwhile, remembering Isabelle and Lucian’s disgusting plan about selling off his sister, Adrian took out his phone and dialed the number of the nanny he had hired to take care of her. “Hello, sir?” the nanny’s voice came through.“Lock the doors. Don’t le
