“Stop Rhea, that's not true, it was an honest mistake!” Adam tried to keep her calm.

Suddenly the entire family woke up, rushing to the scene. “What's going on Rhea?” Monica asked with concern.

Immediately Rhea saw her family and she faked a cry making the whole scenario look real. “Mother” she cried and hugged Monica.

“What's wrong Rhea, did someone hurt you?” Monica pet her on the head.

“It's Adam's mother…” she pointed at Adam.

The whole family gazed at Adam, meanwhile his heart skipped and he swallowed hard. “I swear to God it was a mistake”

“You a*s hole! What did you do to my sister?!” Robin, the youngest son, grabbed Adam by the shirt.

“Tell me sweetie what did Adam do to you? And why's your dress ruined?”

“Mother-Adam tried to rape me, I just came in to drink some water and he suddenly grabbed me and started…” she cried harder. “He started harassing me, mother, I tried to escape and he ended up forcing himself on me and ruining my dress” she cooked up a story to cover up the fact that she went out late at night.

“What! How dare you piece of trash!” Monica, excused Rhea and walked up to Adam delivering three hot slaps meanwhile Robin still held his shirt. “How dare you try to sleep with my daughter?”

“That's not true, I didn't try to rape Rhea, you know I would never do that”

“This is an abomination, you tried to rape your own sister in-law, I'll break your bones!” Robin delivered punches on his face.

Adam held his bleeding nose, his clothes were already stained with blood. His cruel Aunty in-law chimed in. “Oh my goodness!” She held her mouth with her hands. “How could you try something this horrible Adam? Monica I suggest you call the police right away, he should be arrested!” she suggested.

Meanwhile Rhea smiled, she had finally gotten her revenge on Adam. Ever since Adam exposed her of taking hard drugs she had had a strong grudge against him. And today he had entered her trap.

“You're not getting away with this Adam, I'll make sure you pay for this and get arrested first thing tomorrow, I'm going to inform Luther about this” she said.

Rhea was glad as she heard her mother planning on telling her father. Her relationship with her father was severed after Adam exposed her to the whole family for taking cocaine and now finally when Luther found out what Adam did to her, his thoughts about her might change and Adam will be the bad one.

Adam fell to his knees and pleaded. “Please ma'am I would never try to do such a thing, I didn't tried to rape Rhea I only hugged her thinking she was my wife, it was with a sleepy eyes I swear to God”

“You disgusting man!” Robin kicked him with his leg, sending Adam lying on the ground.

“You'll answer to the whole family tomorrow, come on Rhea let's go inside” Monica said taking her daughter inside. The rest of the family followed.

Adam remained on the floor, his biggest fear was what Rachael was going to say about this, and also his father in law Luther. He was the only one who seemed to accept Adam a very little bit.

But now everything was about to change, Luther went for a business trip and he'll be returning first thing in the morning for his daughter's birthday party.

“I'm doomed, I'll be in so much trouble tomorrow, God please help me out on this one”

The night ran quickly and it was morning, Adam tried so much not to fall asleep but ended up falling asleep on the couch.

“Adam! Wake up you slum!” The voice of his wife jolted him back to reality.

“R-rachael… you're back. Happy birthday sweet…” he rushed his words to welcome his wife, but unfortunately he received a slap that sent him back on the couch.

“How dare you? What did you do to Rhea?” Rachael said viciously.

“Calm down Rachael, at least let me explain” Adam said getting up on his feet.

“There's nothing to explain!” Rhea walked to the scene and so did the rest of the family.

“You have to deal with him Rachael, divorce this bastard this instance he tried to rape your sister, his own sister in law” Monica added.

“How much more worthless can you be Adam? Today's my birthday for crying out loud and this is how you repay me? By forcing yourself on my sister in my absence?”

“Racheal. Please don't say that, you know I can never do such a thing. You know me too well Rachael.” Adam felt heart broken that even his dear wife thinks such of him.

How could she?

“I agree that I'm a worthless and useless husband, I agree that I'm broke and can't buy you anything expensive. But I'm not a rapist and I can never look at another woman, not to mention your own sister” Adam's voice was trembling as he spoke, his world was colliding.

Rachael looked at his eyes and saw sincerity, she suddenly felt horrible for judging and slapping him after knowing Adam was not such a person. She felt weak all of a sudden. But she still didn't want to show her weakness around him. She still hated him for being broke and worthless and nothing is going to change that.

She turned her gaze at her sister Rhea. Rhea was startled she recognized that look from her sister, it was a look of “I know you're lying Rhea”

“Do…don't believe what he's saying Rachael” Rhea tried to defend herself as her elder sister walked up to her. “Come with me!” Racheal said, dragging her down to her room.

“What're you doing Racheal, don't tell me you believe this scandal?” Her mother tried to stop her.

Rachael dragged Rhea in her room and shut the door. She then gave Rhea two hot slaps.

“Why did you do that? Why did you make up such a lie?” Racheal gestured with her finger.

“Rachel…you slapped me” Rhea asked in shock.

“And I'll do that again if you don't tell me the truth!” Racheal said abruptly. Even if she doesn't have any feelings for Adam, she still felt like Rhea went too far. A rape accusations could send him to jail.

“So you're actually siding him over me?” Rhea faked a tear.

“Don't bring that up. Adam could never do such a thing, I know you're only trying to get back at him for exposing you to dad. You went too far Rhea.”

Rhea clenched her fist, she couldn't believe her sister was taking the side of that good-for-nothing man. What could he even offer?

“I know you were at the club last night, explain this” Racheal said as she went to her drawer and brought out Rhea’s dress that was ruined last night. “Explain what happened to your dress and why you were wearing such a thing in the mansion if you weren't coming from a party. I got a call Rhea you just broke up with that boyfriend of yours Kendrick and you too had a fight”

Rhea was silent, she was caught red handed and she didn't know how to hide the truth any longer, she tried as much as possible to avoid eye contact. But then she spoke up.

“So what Rachael? What if I did, why'd you care so much? Adam needs to get out of this house and I'm only helping you do what you're unable to do. You need to divorce him, I know even you don't like him and are ashamed of him, you're no longer sick and disabled Racheal, you can accept one of your many suitors who are actually millionaires. People like Drake.

“Get rid of that trash, he can't give you true happiness Racheal. You need someone who will match our family's status and make us proud, Adam isn't that man. Wake up Rachael” Rhea held her arms and shook her .

Racheal looked at her sister's eyes and then at the floor, her sister was making a lot of sense. Adam was not adding anything to her life anyways, he's just a barrier to her happiness.

“Even if I want to divorce Adam. You know I can't because of Dad” Rachael said, clenching her fist tight.

    Trent narrowed his eyes at Adam, lips curling into a smug grin.“I’ll admit,” he said mockingly, “I didn’t expect a country bumpkin like you to even know Mr. Zarholt’s name. Color me surprised.”He gave a dramatic pause, letting the tension simmer before continuing with feigned grandeur.“Yes—Mr. Zarholt is the wealthiest man in Storm City. A true titan. A man whose signature can shift markets overnight. And guess what? After you ruined my grandfather’s birthday with your little scene, I decided to make it right.”He straightened his jacket and raised his chin.“I’m hosting a make-up dinner at Hollow Reach Hotel.”Gasps and murmurs rippled through the room.Gerald, who had been watching the exchange with barely disguised curiosity, cleared his throat. “Trent, that’s... generous. But maybe we should pick a more reasonable venue. I’ve heard the prices at Hollow Reach are... insane.”Trent didn’t even blink. He let out a laugh, cool and calculated.“You’re right. It is expensive. That’s

    “Exactly.” Brielle tossed her hair back with a smirk. “This world isn’t about fighting and killing anymore. It’s about power—real power. Money. Status. Mr. Iron could burn through millions in a minute and not even blink.”She crossed her arms and tilted her chin smugly toward Adam.“But you?” Her voice dripped with scorn. “What can you do? Be a bodyguard? Pull in, what, twenty grand a month on a good day? That’s barely enough to buy the strap of one of my designer bags. Pathetic.”She scoffed, her laughter mocking. “You’re not a man—you’re a joke in last season’s shoes.”Adam’s gaze didn’t flinch. His voice was low, steady—deadly calm.“You talk like wealth makes you someone.” He took a step forward. “But all I see is someone desperately trying to matter.”Brielle’s face twisted, but before she could respond, Trent stepped in, fire in his eyes.“Enough.” He slapped a gold card on the table with theatrical flair. “Adam, who’s trash isn’t decided by cheap insults. This—” he jabbed a fin

    Adam wasn’t surprised.Selena operated in the shadows, always alone, always quiet. She was slippery—an eel in murky waters. If she didn’t want to be found, even the best in his network would struggle. She was talented, strategic, and utterly ruthless.Far more dangerous than Vanguard Ghost or the Elder.Adam wasn’t worried about himself. The threat wasn’t to him—it was to the people around him. The people she could reach. The ones he couldn’t shield every second of the day.This time, Vanguard Ghost had aimed precisely at Adam’s weak spot. And Adam had been forced to stand by, fists clenched, as his enemy escaped unscathed.That bitter humiliation still burned behind his calm expression.---Later that evening, Adam returned to the Armand estate.The moment he stepped through the door, the tension in the air hit him like a wall. Eleanor’s voice rang out before he could even take off his shoes.“Adam, how dare you show your face here after what happened today?”Her tone was sharp, veno

    Tessa stood frozen, the words echoing in her ears like a thunderclap.Devote yourself to me.She’d never imagined the Supreme General would make such a demand—especially not to her. The blood drained from her face, and for a second, she couldn’t breathe. Her heart pounded as she tried to make sense of it.“I… I’m flattered by your favor, Supreme General,” she said, forcing the words past her tightening throat, “but I’m already married. I cannot accept this.”Her voice shook slightly despite her effort to sound composed.Countless women dreamed of catching the attention of the Supreme General. Being even a mistress to such a man meant wealth, power, influence—an unshakable position at the top of society. A flicker of that thought crossed her mind, uninvited. She imagined what it would mean to be his, to walk beside a man feared by nations.For a heartbeat, it thrilled her.But she pushed the thought aside.No matter how lofty the offer, she wasn’t the type to be bought. Her pride would

    Adam didn’t move to free Tessa immediately. He stood in front of the trembling men, his gaze sharp and merciless.“Take your own lives as atonement,” he said, his voice devoid of any warmth.There was no hesitation. The masked men knew who he was. They had heard the stories, the whispered nightmares about the Supreme General. What he did to those who crossed him. Suicide wasn’t surrender—it was mercy.Without a word, one by one, they lifted their blades to their throats. The dull scrape of steel against skin was followed by wet, sickening sounds as blood poured freely. Bodies dropped in succession, lifeless and still.Not one screamed. Not one begged.Adam turned away without so much as a glance, as though their deaths were nothing more than a formality.He stepped toward Tessa, crouched before her, and peeled the duct tape off her lips with surprising care. Then he cut the ropes binding her wrists and ankles with one fluid motion.Tessa’s breath caught as she tore off the blindfold.

    The moment the men in black saw the man's face clearly, their expressions shattered.Pupils shrank. Breath caught in their throats. It was as if Death himself had stepped into the room.Their limbs went cold. Knees buckled. Fingers twitched uncontrollably on the grips of their weapons.Their instincts screamed louder than any command ever had: Run.But it was already too late.Even Hagon—brutal, seasoned, and merciless—felt his composure slipping like sand through his fingers. Still, he forced his spine to stay straight, jaw clenched tight.But the dagger in his hand wavered.With a last breath of false courage, he lunged forward and grabbed Tessa, yanking her upright. His blade pressed tightly against the side of her neck, biting into skin. A thin red line formed beneath the pressure.“Don’t take another step!” he shouted hoarsely, voice cracking with strain. “I’ll do it! I’ll kill her right here!”The other masked men scrambled to mimic him, pressing trembling swords and daggers aga
