2025-05-14 21:33:19Adrian 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.

CHAPTER 1041
A sharp, static hiss echoed from the small metal speaker mounted in the top corner of the room.A cold, mocking cackle burst through the audio feed, rattling off the concrete walls."Hello, little girl," Commander Phyna’s voice hummed over the speaker, sounding distant, sinister, and completely in control. "What is your name?"Nancy swallowed hard, her chest heaving as she stared at the dark mirror glass. "N-Nancy..." she whispered weakly. "Please... let me go. I'm just a high school student! I haven't done anything wrong! I just want my mom!"Over the speaker system, Phyna let out a slow, dark chuckle that sent a freezing chill straight down Nancy’s spine."Your mom..." Phyna mused, her tone dripping with quiet cruelty. "Tell me, Nancy... how much do you actually know about your sweet, loving mother? Do you have even the slightest idea about her past... or the absolute monster she really is?"The metallic cackle echoing from the ceiling speaker died down into a low, buzzing static, l

He spun around instantly, throwing his hands up in a fake, cheerful gesture. "HEY! Auntie! Good to see you! How have you been?!"The old cleaner blinked her cloudy eyes, looking at his tactical gear and mud-stained clothes with deep suspicion. "Who are you?" she asked sharply, her voice raspy. "I don't know you. I might be old, young man, but I know every officer on this floor."Before she could finish her sentence or raise her voice, Dorian lunged forward! He gently but firmly placed his large hand over her mouth, muffling her gasps as he scooped her up under his arm and ducked into a nearby supply closet!He quickly set her down on a stack of folded towels, pulling a roll of heavy duct tape from his belt."I am so, so sorry, Auntie!" Dorian whispered frantically as he expertly taped her hands and ankles, wrapping a smooth layer over her mouth. "I promise I have massive respect for the elderly! I will make it up to you later, I promise!"The old woman didn't scream, she realized quic
CHAPTER 1038
The armored SUVs screeched to a halt inside the dry, brightly lit underground loading bay.Phyna kicked her car door open and stepped out, her eyes blazing with authority. She pointed aggressively at the middle SUV where two officers were hoisting the unconscious, limp body of Nancy out of the rear seat."Take her straight to Interrogation Room 4!" Phyna barked, her voice echoing across the concrete garage. "Initiate an immediate emergency lockdown across the entire compound! Deploy the heavy emergency response unit to the perimeter! I want this entire building on maximum lockdown right now! Nothing gets in, and nothing gets out! Do you hear me?!""YES, MA'AM!" the tactical captain shouted back, instantly slamming his hand against the red wall button.Alarm sirens began to wail through the corridors—a low, rhythmic WOOP... WOOP... WOOP... Heavy steel blast shutters groaned as they descended over all outer windows and exit doors, sealing the grand fortress into an airtight tomb.Two ag

"Sorry, Phyna," Clara’s voice cut through the radio, as cold and unyielding as crushed ice. "I cannot do that."Phyna sneered, her fingers tightening around the heavy microphone until the plastic casing groaned under the pressure."Then you had better come at me with every single thing you've got if you want your daughter back, Clara!" Phyna barked into the receiver, her voice filled with dark, venomous excitement. "Because she isn't going anywhere. She belongs to the state now!"A long, heavy beat of silence stretched across the radio waves. When Clara spoke again, her voice was deathly quiet, a promise of absolute destruction."Sure," Clara said softly. "You can expect a gift from me very soon."CLICK.The line cut off instantly, leaving behind nothing but harsh white noise.Inside the rear SUV of the convoy, two tactical officers sat in the front seat, listening to the heavy silence left in the wake of the call. The driver glanced nervously at his partner in the passenger seat, swa

"Don't move," a low, terrifying voice whispered into his ear.The scout froze completely, his eyes widening in absolute, paralyzing terror as cold sweat mixed with the rain on his forehead.Clara leaned in close, her eyes burning like two fierce embers through the dark downpour. "Where the hell did your people take my daughter?! Speak right now before I slit your throat clean open!""H-HQ!" the scout stammered, his body shaking violently as he felt the sharp edge of the blade press deeper. "They... they are taking her back to the central Task Force Headquarters in the city!"Without a second thought, Clara slammed her fist into the back of the scout's neck, knocking him unconscious into the mud. She reached down, snatched his encrypted tactical comms unit from his vest, threw open the door of the idling SUV, and jumped into the driver's seat!She slammed the gear shift into drive, stomped the accelerator, and the heavy tactical SUV roared down the highway, weaving through the slick mo
