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 getaway, hoping to cheer her up after learning she was worried about her family company and rekindle their romance. He had even prepared a nice romantic dinner with a meaningful gift for her this evening. The last thing Adrian expected ... was betrayal. As the gasps and moans from the bathroom grew louder, Adrian’s rage swelled. His fists clenched, and he stormed toward the bedroom door. He had to see—who the bastard was! But as he reached for the knob, he stopped. His features were contorted with pain. What difference would it make anyway? Would seeing the man erase Isabelle’s betrayal? She was pregnant with their baby—did she even care about its safety? Just a door away, Adrian felt he was between heaven and hell. Just then, came more voices from inside the bedroom. “Hurry up... Adrian would be ... back with his surprise for me any minute. Ahh~ If he sees us ... we’re screwed ... Ahh~~~” “So what if he does? He’s now penniless and powerless. I’m not afraid of him.” Adrian frowned. The man’s voice ... it sounded familiar. Then Isabelle spoke again. “You naughty bad boy ... Ahh~~ So? How’s the plan to bankrupt Adrian’s company going? I’m running out of excuses to stall.” “Don’t worry. With your help from the inside, I’ve already cut off all his cash flow. Every asset he had is now under my name.” The man laughed excitedly. And then it clicked! Adrian knew who the man was—Lucian Grayson. CEO of Astra Corp, Adrian’s fiercest rival. The Grayson family was one of Silver City’s top three elite families, and Lucian was known for his arrogance and ruthless behavior. Rumors had always followed him: forcing his pregnant secretary to get an abortion, seducing employees’ wives, blackmailing female staff into sleeping with him... Lucian Grayson was pure scum. But of all people, his own loving wife, Isabelle, was now fucking that bastard? Why? Was he—Adrian Lancaster—not good enough? His heart bled. Inside the bedroom, Isabelle continued, moaning between words. “Should I ask for a divorce ... tomorrow ... as we planned? And then the day after ... ahh ~~ you come with me for a prenatal check?” “Why not? Today is the last day he’s allowed to enjoy happiness.” Lucian chuckled as he held Isabel's softness in his hands. “Talking about prenatal check, that idiot still doesn’t know the baby isn’t his, right?” “Of course, not. How can ... I tell him the truth? He’d ... ahh ... kill me!” Isabelle let out a long, low moan before continuing between gasps.Expand

AWAKENED ADRIAN LACANSTER CHAPTER 302
Ashra watched him shake, as she slowly unwrapped the velvet cloth once more.Soft red cracks pulsed across the stone as she lowered it toward him again.Malvin reached with both hands, trembling as though the thing might bite him.Ashra finally placed it in his palms.The glow crawled across his skin like veins of fire.She turned away immediately, bored, already picking up another flask on the table. Malvin stood there with the talisman pressed against his pounding chest then he backed away slowly.Then one thought crossed his mind.“How… how do I lure out a monster like him…?” Malvin whispered.He walked toward his car, gripping the talisman so tightly the edges dug into his palm. Zane only listened to Adrian; no one else could command him as if he were his leader or something.Malvin’s lips curled slowly.Yes.That was it.He reached his office an hour later, slammed the door shut, and rushed to the old voice-modifier he sometimes used for extortion calls.He strapped the mic und

Ashra lowered the talisman toward him, the red cracks pulsing like a heartbeat.Malvin reached for it—greedy, desperate.But Ashra pulled it back before his fingers could touch it.Her expression cooled instantly.“This,” she said, voice smooth as poison, “is not free.”Malvin froze. “What… what do you want? Money?"Ashra let out a soft laugh.“If money could buy this,” she said, brushing her thumb over the glowing cracks, “I would have sold it years ago.”She stepped closer, cloak shifting like a living shadow.“I want a favor.”Malvin blinked. “A… favor?”Ashra nodded slowly. “A day will come when I will need you. When I call you, you must obey.”Her pale eyes darkened. “No excuses. You will do exactly as I say.”Malvin swallowed hard. “That’s it? You want a favor?”Ashra tilted her head. “You must sign with your blood.”Malvin’s heart stuttered. “W-What?”Ashra’s voice dropped to a chilling whisper.“Swear it. With your blood. A binding covenant.”Malvin took one step back.People

AWAKENED ADRIAN LACANSTER CHAPTER 300
Ashra’s pale eyes tracked Malvin like a predator reading its prey.Malvin cleared his throat, trying to steady his voice. “I came because… I need something lethal. Something strong enough to kill a man. Not an ordinary man, a monster. His name is Zane.”The moment the name left his tongue, Ashra’s expression shifted.She had heard that name before.She slowly sat upright in the chair.“Zane…” she murmured. “Lightning-born.”Malvin blinked. “Y-you know him?”Ashra leaned back slightly, crossing one leg over the other. “I know far more than you do. And if you came here seeking a way to kill him,” she raised a brow, “you’re wasting your time.”Malvin’s face tightened. “What do you mean?”Ashra stood slowly, her cloak whispering across the stone floor. Her pale silver hair caught the blue light of the underground chamber.“Zane cannot be killed,” she said simply.Malvin laughed once, an ugly, strained sound. “Th-That’s ridiculous. Everything can be killed....”She cut him off with a sharp

AWAKENED ADRIAN LACANSTER CHAPTER 299
Malvin grabbed at Lucien’s boot as the duke’s son turned away. “Wait—please!” he begged, voice raw. “If I betray you, kill me. Drive a blade through my heart. I swear I’ll be loyal.”Lucien paused, the sunlight cutting the edge of his profile. He did not smile. He did not pity. He simply looked at Malvin as a man looks at an insect.“Words are cheap, I want proof.Malvin’s chest heaved as he saw an opportunity. “Name it. Anything. I’ll do it. Give me a task I can finish. A chance is all I am asking for.”Lucien turned slowly. His coat whispered against the car as he moved. “Prove it,” he said. “Bring me Zane’s head. Kill the man who moves like lightning and I will finally trust you.”For a second everything in Malvin’s world narrowed to that one order. The name hit him like ice. His mouth went dry. “That’s impossible,” he croaked. “You saw him... he tore your men apart like paper. He’s not just a man. He is a storm. His skin can’t be pierced. His speed .. there’s nothing I can do. How

Lucien’s convoy moved down the road in tight formation. Suddenly, a small car cut in front of them. It was Malvin’s car.Lucien’s lead driver muttered a curse under his breath. Several of his men slammed on the brakes. Two jumped out before the cars stopped.They ran to Malvin’s window, tore the door open, and dragged him out. He fought at first, then stopped when heavy fists took over.“Let me speak to your boss!” Malvin begged, voice high with panic. “He must hear me, this is important!”The men ignored him. They hauled him to the center of the road and threw him down. Lucien watched from his car, unmoved. He lifted a hand and a soldier moved forward and planted a sword at Malvin’s throat. Six more blades made of pure kissed Malvin’s skin.Malvin's blood ran cold.Lucien came down slowly from his car.A man stepped in closer, he had just witnessed his colleagues being slaughtered like animals and he was hungry for blood. “Shall we finish him, sir?”Lucien’s face was unreadable,

Malvin avoided his gaze.Did Adrian really find the evidence?Adrian’s expression hardened. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small silver drive. The Aldridge family exchanged glances.Adrian connected the drive to the tablet on the courtyard table. The screen lit up, showing security footage from the cooking competition.The video was not clear but it showed a shadowy figure crouched near Adrian’s cooking station minutes before the explosion.Sophia leaned forward, her heart pounding. “Is that...?”Adrian zoomed in. “Someone tampered with the gas in my station and caused the explosion,” he said coldly.He turned, eyes locking on Malvin. “I know it was you, Malvin.”The words hit like thunder.Malvin blinked, frozen for a second and then his mouth fell open, his face twisting in outrage. “What?” he cried, his voice cracking. “You’re accusing me?”Adrian didn’t blink. “You were behind the curtains throughout, don't deny it, you caused the explosion from the footage I kn
