“Father would never allow me to divorce that bastard, in the name of honoring grandfather's deal with Adam. I wish I could but I can't”
“Yes you can Racheal” Rhea said. “And I'm going to help you with it” “But how?” Racheal asked. “I have a plan that will actually work” a smirk escaped her lips. *** Racheal and Rhea then walked out of the room and went back to the sitting room where Adam and the rest of the family members were. Everyone was in suspense on what Racheal was about to say. “I'll forgive you Adam only on one condition” Racheal started making Adam more curious. “What condition Racheal?” His eyes were begging for answers. “Today's my birthday and the decorations will soon start, and I'll want you to serve as one of the waiters at the party tonight” she replied with a smirk on her face. “What?” Adam's jaw dropped. Monica and her sister Theresa smiled in satisfaction of Rachael's request. This will be a perfect punishment for this loser. “How can I serve as a waiter Racheal? For goodness sake I'm your husband” Adam was dumbfounded. “You should be grateful I asked for something this little, you didn't contribute any penny to this birthday celebration, you're just a liability to this family. Take this as part of your contribution to the family. And if you really want me to remain your wife you'll do this for me” Racheal fired at him. Adam didn't know what to do, he had faced many humiliations in the family but this time he thought they were going overboard, this is just too much for anyone. How can a husband be a waiter at his wife's birthday party? Racheal took a few steps towards Adam. She then whispered into his ears. “If you do this you'll have all of me tonight” she said seductively and kissed him on the cheek. Adam's body almost melted, he got goosebumps instantly. Why was she suddenly nice? For three years being in the Odia family he had never had an intimacy with his wife. First it was because of her condition but after she recovered she saw him as an inferior person to her and would never let him touch her, not to mention opening her leg for him. Racheal looked at his lips and then stared at him with the triangle method and bit her lips. She was so damn beautiful that Adam didn't want to think if this was just a black mailing or honesty. He was ready to risk it. “So do we have a deal?” Racheal asked. Adam nodded positively. The rest of the family members were puzzled, what was Racheal doing? Meanwhile Rhea smiled devilishly, she knew all the plans and sooner today Adam's going to be kicked out of their lives. Few hours past 8pm the hall had been decorated and many honorable guests had arrived. Somewhere Rachael's college friends and other family friends and business partners. Adam was in his room, he was dressed as a waiter, he looked at himself in the mirror, his face was rough due to unshaved bears but overall he was still looking handsome with a height of 6 '4. He sighed, “come on Adam, you're doing this for Racheal” he encouraged himself and forced a smile before walking outside. The party had fully begun and Adam along with the other waiters served across the tables. Adam sighted Mr Luther amongst the guests. “Father inlaw had arrived, I should go say hi” he said to himself but then noticed he was surrounded with many important guests and Adam wasn't presentable enough to approach him. ‘I guess I'll wait till the party is over’ Suddenly he saw his beloved wife Rachael walking down the stairs in a beautiful red gown and beside her was her sister Rhea putting on a black gown. The whole attention of the congregation was drawn by her elegant beauty. Adam couldn't help his excitement; he still couldn't believe he was finally going to enjoy his wife tonight after the party. He was about to go meet her before a guest called him. “Hey waiter, come over here” a lady at the table Adam frowned, walking towards the lady. "Can you go get me some whiskey?" She requested. Adam looked at his wife and then at the woman, almost confused on what to do, but then realized Rachael expected him to serve her guests so he nodded at the lady. "I'll get it ma'am." Adam immediately attended to her request. Then he heard his name from another table. It was no other than Theresa. Adam scoffed. "Come over here Adam, what are you doing standing over there?" She said, trying to prove to her friends that she was a boss. Adam walked reluctantly to her. "Do you need anything Theresa?" He asked. Theresa's eyes widened in disbelief and all her friends stared at her. "Did you just call me by my name?" She asked. Adam rolled his eyes. "Isn't that your name?" "Did your servant just talk to you that way?" Her friend chimed in. "Deal with him Theresa he should now his to talk to his employer." Another said. "Apologies now you good for nothing and lazy man" she abused Adam only chuckled. "Calling me lazy when you're actually the one who's feeding on your sister's wealth without making an attempt to get a job yourself.” All her friends gasped, putting their hands on their mouths. Theresa scratched her hair and tried to avoid eye contact, she knew Adam was saying the truth. 'Who gave this moron the audacity to talk back at me, I'll deal with him after this party' Theresa swore in her mind. Adam smiled in satisfaction that he had given her a taste of her own medicine and he knew she wouldn't be able to talk back to him because of her friends. Suddenly there was an uproar of cheers at the hall. Everyone turned trying to peek from the crowd. The murmurs filled the room. "Drake Penthouse is here." "Oh my God, it's really Drake." "The heir of the Penthouse." Adam didn't know who the person was, but due to the talks from the people he could tell he was someone with a very high status. He came with several guards, the guards soon made way by clearing the crowd and Drake's face was revealed. He was an average man, with a handsome profile and an expensive suit, his wrist watch and shoe spells luxury. Suddenly Racheal saw him and ran to him hugging him passionately. "What? How did Racheal know him?" Adam thought, but washed the thought from his head when he realized he could just be an old friend of hers. Drake hugged her back and his hands behind her waist as he then pressed her ass pecking her on her cheek. Adam boiled in anger, he was tempted to interrupt them but held himself. This was an important occasion for his wife, he didn't want to ruin it for her.

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
