“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.

    The alarm wailed, bouncing off metal and tile, a piercing chorus that seemed to celebrate the monstrosities now staggering off their gurneys.Adam tightened his knuckles, exhaling a deep, icy breath. His pulse remained calm — nearly impossible under the pressure — but a spark glimmered in his eyes.He darted forward, a silhouette against a riot of purple-eyed soldiers. His first punch landed squarely against a massive shoulder — normally enough to stagger a grown man — but this specimen barely budged. Instead, it grabbed Adam’s wrist with a grip like a vice.Adam tried to break free, shifting his weight and adding force, but the creature remained anchored, immovable. With a single squeeze, it nearly crushed his wrist, forcing him back a step.“That’s what I’m talking about.” The doctor’s voice rose above the alarm, a sinister thread tying chaos together. He pressed against a control rail, smiling through bloody lips. “Did you really think you’d match them… match us?”He staggered forw

    Adam stood in the dimly lit chamber, surrounded by countless human experiments suspended on metal tables. His knuckles tightened, and a deep rage rose within him.Suddenly, from a hidden side room, a man in a white lab coat walked in, casually wiping his bloody gloves on a piece of cloth. His piercing green eyes fell directly on Adam.The doctor clicked his tongue. “Who are you… and what are you doing here?”Adam remained silent for a moment, letting the silence weigh heavy in the air. His jaw tightened. “The real question is… what the hell are you doing to these people?”The doctor sighed and straightened his glasses. “If you know what’s best for you… you should leave immediately. All else… will not be leaving here alive.”Adam’s stare remained icy. “I’m not going anywhere… until you answer me.”The doctor pressed a small button on his wristband. “Too late. You chose this path.”Suddenly, hidden doors opened all around the chamber. Seven soldiers in black tactical gear marched in, th

    The dimly lit entrance fell silent except for the rhythmic drip of water somewhere in the distance. Adam kept walking forward, unfazed by the oppressive silence and the piercing gaze of the guard who stood in his path.“Hey… place is closed. Come back tomorrow.” The man tried to make his voice firm, but it trembled just a little under Adam’s piercing stare.Adam remained silent, letting his knuckles crack quietly as his hands tightened into fists. The man raised his voice, suspicion battling confusion. “Hey! Did you hear me, friend?”For a moment, the only answer was the rustling of Adam’s clothes as he walked forward a step.The man pressed on, trying to assert himself. “I said we’re closed. Whatever you’re looking for… it’s not here.”Adam sighed softly and nodded. “See… you shouldn’t have asked me that.”The guard faltered. “E-8-Day delivery?”Adam’s face remained a mask of calm. “Who told you…?”“It doesn’t matter who.” His knuckles tightened, a spark of danger glimmered in his ey

    Adam sat quietly in his dimly lit room, the silence heavy like a blanket over his shoulders. He peeled off his shirt, revealing a scar-laced chest—remnants of battles long buried in memory. A dull ache pulsed beneath his ribs.He crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and exhaled slowly.A faint glow shimmered around him—soft and golden, like ripples in still water. His breathing steadied. Energy coiled and flowed within him, moving through meridians like warm rivers of power. But just as the peace settled, a sharp jolt cut through his side."Still there," he muttered, grimacing. His hand pressed against his ribs.His thoughts wandered back—years ago, after the war on the western border. The final siege. The blood-soaked cliffs. That last fight had left him with a wound no healer could fix. Not fully.He needed the Three Amulets.He already had one—the cursed Idol Amulet—safely hidden, which he kept with Tessa.Two remained.Without them, he could only suppress the pain… not erase it.He

    “Mr. Albert!” Hope called out, her voice sharp with desperation. But Albert didn’t even glance back. He was already halfway down the corridor, his footsteps echoing as he vanished around the corner like a man possessed. Hope stood frozen for a second, then snapped. “That coward!” she hissed, turning on her heels. “He just left us behind like garbage!” Across the room, Adam stood casually, arms folded, a faint smirk dancing on his lips as if the chaos around him were nothing more than entertainment. Hope’s eyes locked onto him. “You!” she barked, pointing a trembling, furious finger. “You’re the one who brought this cursed luck into this house!” Adam raised a brow but said nothing. “We were this close—this close—to sealing the deal with Dragon Group. Everything was aligning perfectly. Then you showed up, like a fly in the ointment!” “Mom…” Ava stepped forward, grabbing her arm gently, trying to keep her grounded. “Calm down—please.” “No! I won’t calm down, Ava!” Hope

    Albert’s face was drenched in sweat now. His hands trembled as he reached out and grabbed Adam’s arm desperately.“Please, Mike… please…” he gasped, his voice hoarse and broken. “You have to help me—I was wrong, I was blind. I didn’t know who you were… Please, just talk to Secretary Chen—fix this, I’ll do anything, just help me…”He dropped to his knees again, this time clutching Adam’s shoes like a man drowning in quicksand.“Please, Mike… I’ll apologize… I’ll pay, I’ll kneel, I’ll do whatever you want—just don’t let everything go down like this. I spent years, Mike. Years!”Across the room, Hope staggered back like the words had slapped her. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her lips parting in disbelief.“No… no, this can’t be happening…” she whispered, her hand flying to her chest. “They’ve… they’ve cut ties with Albert? But if Dragon Group has pulled out from his company, then…”She swayed.“Then our deal is doomed too!”She nearly collapsed, her legs giving way, but Ava darted fo
