They exclaimed in admiration with others when the general presented Adrian with his new passport and other documents that boldly carried his new name. Yet Daniel imagined dismantling the golden throne chair with Adrian in it as the latter settled into the chair amidst cheers from people. Immediately after the address, a celebrity photographer known to be picky about her clients was already on standby to take pictures. She took one of Adrian alone on the throne chair, looking regal and dignified, like a king granting audience to his subjects. “Why do we have to stay here to watch this nonsense?” Patricia mutter

Then he nodded briefly and stepped aside. Daniel didn't want to shake the pompous bastard, but eyes were on them. He raised his hand reluctantly just as Adrian turned to the Vales, leaving Daniel's hand hanging. “How can you…?” …embarrass your brother like this? The rest of the words died in Patricia's throat as she remembered Richard's warning. She tried to pretend that she was actually about to talk to the general. “Gen&hel

Vivian’s gaze locked onto her target.A slow smile curved her lips as her manicured nails tapped lightly against her glass.She had seen how that bastard had humiliated him earlier.Still, as a young master trained for the role, Daniel did not lose his cool as he downed a glass of champagne, scowled at the stupid server and took another glass.Vivian sighed in pleasure as her gaze trailed down his fit form under his tailored suit.He was nothing like the petty wannabe playing at being somebody.Daniel was the real deal. He was born somebody and would die the same. Not handed some title on a pompous platter.Last Updated : 2026-04-28Read more

“On our deal. Can't wait to flaunt you as my devoted fiancée,” he said with a smirk.Seraphina wondered what contributed to his…lightness, even as she said, “You accept?”“You can't tell from the big smile on my face? I am thrilled,” he responded caustically.Ah, the man has humour. She thought with reluctant amusement.Still, she wondered what changed his mind. When he said he would think about it, he wasn't thrilled.She knew what he thought of her for suggesting it and, instead of allowing hurt to cloud her senses, she had chosen practicality.“You were angry when I suggested it.”Last Updated : 2026-04-29

Adrian woke up well-rested the next day.He blinked at the mint wall and grey headboard.Then he remembered where he was. The Jenkins' estate. His…home.“Just say the word. I will get any renovation you want done,” the general had promised the night before. Adrian had told him things were okay the way they were. Which they were.Adrian sat up in the king-size bed.The quilt rested at his midriff as he took in the room, twic

But the next minute, his expression brightened.He casually touched the tray of keys as he said, “I have too many of these in my garage to count. I don't know why people think a car gift is exciting for an old man like me, but oh well. These have been sitting there for far too long doing nothing. You will be doing me a favour by taking them off my hands, so don't you dare reject them.”Octavio looked at his master with an expressionless face as he wondered why the general didn't want the young master to know he had personally pored over car magazines and selected each of the cars.The least of them was the five hundred mil Aston Martin, and were just delivered the day before.When Octavio had pointed out that they had more than enough cars that the young mast

Chapter 167
Adrian closed his eyes as the memories assaulted him. “Only weak boys cry!”Patricia had drummed that notion into his head from the moment he badly scraped his knees at five years old.Still, he couldn't shake the wetness at the back of his eyes as he breathed slowly.The general had not known what he had done for Adrian. Not yet. But he silently vowed to spend the rest of his life repaying this favour.The money and influence meant less to him than the sense of belonging.Wha

Chapter 168
The humiliation of the night before still hung over them like a shroud.Richard was quieter than usual. Patricia was walking on eggshells around him while blaming her pompous son for the tension.Daniel hated that the bastard could still ruin everything even in his absence.Breakfast that morning was a sombre activity. One would have thought someone had died, Daniel thought scornfully.Trying to remind his father that Adrian wasn't really all that so he could focus more on the son who was seated right across from him, Daniel shifted in his chair.Last Updated : 2026-04-30Read more

He remembered that the general was a low-key person naturally.Until recently, he hardly did anything that drew public attention to him. Since he became the acclaimed God of War, the public became naturally interested in everything he did anyway, but he never deliberately attracted attention until Adrian.“What if the general gave Adrian gifts before or after the event?” he wondered. “What if others did too?”He dropped his fork as a headache started brewing at the base of his skull.He pushed back from the table. To Daniel, he said, “You. We are leaving in five minutes.&rdquo

Chapter 170
With fame comes a strong need to develop a thick skin.Adrian moved like he heard nothing and saw nothing as he arrived at Echelon.“Oh my. Look at that beast. I wish I had a car like that.” “Oh, it's him! I saw him on TV and the billboards earlier!”Those whispers followed him as soon as he stepped out of the car.All eyes followed him the moment he stepped into the cool lobby.The receptionist’s smile was extra bright as she called out, “Good morning, Mr Cross…erm, Mr Jenkins.”By the time he got to his floor, Adrian could feel a very uncomfortable itch at the nape of his neck. Was he annoyed by the extremely public announcement? Maybe he would have been if it were someone else. But this was Catherine.And the significance of it made the stares and whispers easier to tolerate.The dev team snapped to attention as soon as he stepped into the office. They mostly looked like they were expecting him to step in with military escorts. Morrell seemed like he had no idea what to do wit
