"Anything for you babe." Drake replied "Babe?" Adam was puzzled, why was he calling her babe didn't he know she was married? Adam then looked at her finger and noticed she wasn't putting on their wedding ring. "Why didn't Racheal wear her ring?" Suddenly Monica went to greet Drake. "Oh my goodness, Racheal you didn't tell us you were close friends with the Penthouses, please bring him to come greet your father." She said happily. Drake nodded and was taken to Mr Luther. "Good evening Mr Luther, I'm excited to finally meet you in person." Drake shook hands with Mr. Luther. "It is also an honor to have you as our guest, I didn't realize you were this close with my daughter. I believe this will be beneficial to both parties." Mr. Luther replied. "Yes of course." "You can go enjoy the party with Rachael, we'll discuss properly after the party." "Alright Mr. Luther. Come on Rachel." He wrapped his hands around her waist and they walked away to the dancing floor. Adam kept staring at them, he didn't bother about serving the guests anymore. He was envious how everyone was adoring Drake, even his own wife. The DJ played the music and everyone started dancing. Drake grabbed Racheal and they both started dancing like an actual couple. Everyone clapped and started taking pictures of them. The penthouse was among the top three most influential and wealthy families in Almond City with several companies. Drake was a guy that all ladies dream of having. Rich, handsome, tall and powerful. "Oh they are so cute together." Monica was overjoyed. Adam gritted his teeth, he couldn't tolerate how Drake was being so close and romantic with Racheal, and the way he was touching her body, something even he hasn't done before. Everything was becoming clearer to Adam. 'I get it now, she didn't want Drake to know she's married, that's why she made me become a waiter and refused to put on our wedding ring. How dare she do this to me?' As the atmosphere was becoming intense with the two lovebirds Adam walked to them. "You need to stop right now Racheal!" His voice was slow and commanding. Racheal, Monica, Theresa and the rest of the family were in shock of his statement. "Who's this man?" Drake asked, gesturing at Adam. "I'm her husband, you son of a bitch, and you need to stop getting too close to a married woman." Adam spoke with so much confidence. "What's wrong with you Adam, do you know who you're talking to?" Racheal said to him. "Oh, this useless son-in-law of ours is about to disgrace us as he always has." Monica shakes her head in disappointment. "Nothing is wrong with me Racheal! You're the one who's lost it. I don't care who he is, you shouldn't be dancing this way with another man. I now know the reason you want me to be a waiter at your birthday party, because you want him to believe you are single." The more Adam spoke the more his anger rose. "Hey mind your manners you low life man, you don't know who I am." Drake felt embarrassed speaking to someone as low as Adam. "Who's the Racheal, is this the bastard you were telling me about?" He asked. "Hey I'm not a bastard I'm her husband." "Yes, he's the one." Racheal replied in shame, she was heavily regretting why she ever met Adam. "What? You told him that? You told him I was a bastard? I'm your husband Racheal, you shouldn't disrespect me in front of him." “Shut up Adam, just shut up! You have no idea who Drake is, his shoes alone are what more than your life, he's a billionaire compared to a penniless man like you. And you need to realized we were only married by contract not by choice “ "Don't stress your voice darling. I think I'm going to teach him some valuable lessons." Drake said, he folded his sleeves and tried to throw a punch at Adam. Adam easily grabbed his wrist and threw his own punch with his other hand. Immediately blood oozed out from his nostrils, as he rushed to the floor. "Oh my God! Adam, what have you done?" Racheal and her mother ran to help Drake up. The crowd went wide. "Did that waiter just punch Drake Penthouse?" "Who's that servant?" "How can he claim to be Rachael's husband?" “Did he know who Drake is? Son of the richest man in Almond City?” Cameras were all over the place recording the whole scene. "Hey!!" Suddenly Drake's bodyguards matched in to aid their boss. "Don't come to me, get that slum, beat him to a pulp." He ordered. He grabbed Adam by the chest and tossed him to the floor. The rain blows and kicks all over his body. Adam was covered in bruises, abruptly Mr. Luther intervened. "That's enough!" He raised his hand and the body guards halted, there was a minute of silence in the hall. Mr. Luther waited for Adam to get up from the floor before he spoke. "Get out of here!" He ordered with no trace of emotions from his voice. "But father..." "I said get out!" Adam stood up and walked sluggishly out of the hall. Rachael and Rhea glanced at each other and exchanged gestures. Rhea smiled and walked away, their first plan was successful now it's time for the second. Adam was surely going to get out of their lives. Adam found solace outside of the mansion, he sat at a corner under the night sky, his mood down, his body covered in bruises and his mind buried in thoughts. "Did I make a mistake by interrupting them? Maybe I should have just ignored them and continued to service the guests." Adam thought, but how could he? How could he tolerate another man dancing romantically with his wife? Her words of reminding him he only married her because he needed assistance for his mother's treatment hurt him so hard. Not too long a servant walked up to him. "Hello sir Adam, Racheal had asked you to meet her in her room." The servant said bowing slightly. "What? Right now?" He asked to be sure "Yes sir Adam, she wants you in a room right away." "Alright I'll be there shortly." Adam took a deep sigh. Adam stayed for a while, trying to think why Racheal would be calling him in the middle of her birthday party. Was she going to scold him for what he did? He then got up and left. Adam went straight to her room, he tried knocking but the room was opened so he just walked in. As Adam entered the room, he was enveloped in darkness, but his eyes quickly adjusted to reveal Racheal's silhouette, she was still putting on the red dress. "Racheal? Why are you staying in the dark." Adam asked, reaching for the light switch, but she swiftly grasped his hand, her grip gentle yet firm. With a subtle pull, she drew him closer, her face inches from his. Then, in a movement that left him breathless, she pressed her lips to his, the darkness around them melting away.

"what are you doing..." Adam's question was swallowed by Rachael's hungry lips as she devoured his mouth in a passionate kiss. He couldn't resist the temptation to surrender to her desire, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close. As they kissed, Adam's hands roamed, caressing her curves and trying to undress her, but just as they were lost in the moment, the lights flickered on, illuminating the room and teasing them with reality.Adam was startled and turned back to look who it was and saw his wife standing at the door in shock with the entire family and Drake. "What the F..." Adam's confusion was at the peak. If Racheal was standing at the door who the hell was he kissing?

"You're crazy and unbelievable Adam, how can you ask for such a thing?" Racheal was in outrage. "Yes I am crazy! I want it back, you don't deserve it. I regretted risking my life to save yours!" Monica's face turned beet red with rage, her eyes bulging in disbelief. "How dare you, Adam! You are ungrateful, manipulative...!" She spluttered, her words trailing off as she struggled to contain her fury. "Your daughter is the manipulative one here, I want my kidney back, I want it back! And I also want the 10 million dollars and I'll leave your family for good." As the celebrant and her family weren't present in the party, most of the guests had already gathered around witnessing the whole scenario and their whispers filled the air. "Well Rachael didn't beg you to donate your kidney for her, you did that out of your own free will. Father say something. This scum needs to rot in jail." Robin said in fury.

Adam sat at the van, his heart pounding. "Please you have to let me go, I'm innocent. My mother is dying. I need to get her hospital bill." "Enough! You think we care? You should have thought twice before you mess with the Odias. You'll be punished severely!" The Chief Officer Philip sneered. Philip's reputation preceded him – ruthless, unyielding, and feared by criminals citywide. He has the worst punishment for criminals everywhere in the city, making his very name feel like a curse to their ears. "Where are you taking me to?" Adam asked, his eyes trying to peek through the window. "To face justice!" Philip replied, he gestured, and his men covered Adam's face with a black hood. .... Central Command Center. This was Almond City's number 1 police station. Adam was dragged out of the van and led into a dark room, the steel door clanged shut behind him. It was the interrogation room. Adam was forced onto a cold metal chair, the black wood was ripped from his head, making him bli

"Now are you ready to comply?" Philip smirked, he was certain after this time, Adam would have no choice but to agree and sign the divorce papers. With so much difficulty Adam spoke, his voice cracking. "I won't." Does he have a death wish? Philip was so furious, he felt like ripping Adam apart, but he couldn't risk killing him here in the station. If he was ever going to get rid of him it'll be outside the station. "What do we do sir, he's refusing to sign the papers, should we continue beating him?" One of the officers asked. "No, wait. I'll call Mr. Luther first." Philip brought out his phone and dialed Mr. Luther's number. "Hello Mr. Luther." Mr. Luther picked on the first ring, hoping for good news. "Officer Philip, have you made that trash sign the papers?" "He's refusing to sign the papers no matter how much we forced him to." Philip said with a sigh at the end. "What do you mean? I trusted you with this job. Beat him up and make him sign it." Mr. Luther was fr

Philip and his men drove Adam to the island, they used a helicopter to travel to the prison, sharks and wild sea monsters roam around the sea, which is the main reason prisoners can't escape. Adam's heart sank, his breath catching in his throat. Hell-gate. The mere mention sent shivers down his spine. He'd heard the whispers, the horror stories of brutal treatment and unspeakable atrocities within those foreboding walls. No one escaped Hell-gate. No one survived its depths. The prison's reputation was a death sentence, a fate worse than execution. They dragged Adam like a limp ragdoll, his battered body leaving a crimson smear on the cold, grey corridors. The guards tossed him into the cell with a careless heave, his limbs splayed awkwardly on the concrete floor. Philip's voice dripped with malice as he leaned in, his eyes glinting with sadistic pleasure. "Welcome to your new home, boy. You'll rot here. "Twenty four hours of darkness, one meal a day, one toilet break. Don't even t

"You don't need to worry I'll message some of our men in Almond City to take care of that, and you need to know she's not your biological mother, you belong here." Stacey said. "What do you mean by that? Who are you to tell me that?" "Doctor Bryan you can proceed." She said to the old man. "Thank you Stacey." He smiled. "Why'd you bring a doctor?" "Doctor Bryan here is not just any doctor but also a Neurologist and a cognitive rehabilitation therapist. One of the best healers the world can afford, and as a matter of fact you too used to be very close. Right Bryan." Stacey stated. "That's right Lord Adam, we used to be close friends. I used to be one of your teachers." "But I don't know you." Adam, still in confusion, said. "You will in an hour. Adam Manchester, you are a soldier, not just any soldier you are Coastal Flair most powerful ally, the country's greatest force. The supreme general among all four generals." Doctor Bryan stated as he moved around Adam. "Coastal Flair

Doctor Bryan out of fear was about to turn it off but then Adam's thunderous voice commanded. "No! Don't turn it off, I want my memories, I want it all!!" He yelled as forceful tears escaped from his eyes and his veins bulged out. As the boot reached 100% Adam broke the belt with his bear strength, all the electricity sparked and went off for some seconds before restoring back to power. Stacey smiled emotionally, this was the Adam she knew incredibly strong and powerful. "Are you okay Lord Adam?" She asked but he kept silent, breathing heavily, he fell on the floor but supported himself with his arms, Stacey ran to help him up but he gestured her to stop. "I remember now. I remember who I am. I am Lord Adam Manchester, the supreme general of Coastal Flair and the Warlord of this nation!" Adam roared so loudly that it felt like the room couldn't contain the pressure, Stacey and Bryan had to cover their ears with their hands, they were also high cultivators, normal humans would hav

Six months later. Adam had fully recovered, today was the first day he stood by himself. His legs perfectly healed like they had never been damaged before. Stacey walked into his room.

Brenda, David, and Henry knelt in silence, the air heavy with guilt. Wendy’s cries had faded, but the sound of her being dragged off still haunted them. Henry winced as he moaned in pain, his broken leg barely holding him up. But it wasn’t just the injury. It was everything—they’d lost their daughter, their sister, and any chance of fixing things. Brenda slowly dropped to her knees. Her voice cracked. “Please... we know Wendy did wrong. But she’s still our family. We’re begging you. Please, forgive us.” Adam didn’t even blink. His gaze landed on her, cold and sharp. “No. Not you,” he said flatly. Brenda froze. “What?” “You don’t get to walk away from this,” Adam said. “Your family—especially you—have done enough damage to Tessa. You lied to her. Used her. Threw her away when it suited you.” He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t have to. “You deserve everything that’s happening to you.” Brenda tried to speak, but the words wouldn’t come.

Tessa froze as her eyes took in the blood-streaked floor, the shattered furniture, and the bodies groaning in pain. Triston’s corpse lay lifeless in the center of the hall, surrounded by armed soldiers in full tactical gear. The stench of smoke and iron filled the air. She gripped Adam’s arm tightly. “What the hell happened here?” she asked, her voice sharp with confusion and disbelief. Adam’s expression didn’t change. Calm. Cold. “I dealt with everyone who tried to hurt you.” Tessa’s heart skipped. Her gaze darted across the room. Samuel wasn’t in sight. Neither was Wendy. “Wait—where’s Wendy? And Samuel?” she asked, eyes narrowing. “Adam… don’t tell me you—” “I didn’t kill them,” Adam cut in, reading her mind. “They’re not worth that. They’ve been arrested. That’s all.” Tessa let out a shaky breath, but it didn’t ease her mind. “Adam, I thought you said you wouldn’t go this far. Wendy... she’s still my family.” Adam turned to her with a sharp look. “Family? The same ‘family’

Confusion gripped the hall like a storm. Brenda dropped to her knees and crawled to Adam’s feet, her voice trembling.“Please, Adam... don’t do this to my daughter. Wendy’s still Tessa’s family. Have mercy.”Adam looked down at her, expression cold.“It’s funny seeing you this low,” he said with a faint smirk. “But mercy? Not this time. Wendy crossed a line. She’s hurt Tessa too many times. She’ll pay.”“Adam, please!” Brenda sobbed, clutching his ankle.He stepped past her like she was air. Hammer moved forward, planting himself between her and Adam.“No one moves,” Hammer growled.Adam headed back to the suite. Inside, Stacey sat by Tessa’s side, monitoring her vitals. Adam’s features softened the moment he saw her.He brushed her hair back gently and kissed her forehead.Tessa stirred. “Adam...?” Her voice was weak but laced with worry. She blinked herself awake, then suddenly sat up.“What happened? Was it Triston? Did he attack you?” Her hands checked him quickly, panic growing.

Wendy trembled on the ground, her face pale. Her legs were already broken, and now Adam had spoken of punishment."No… no, please…" she whimpered, trying to crawl away, dragging her bloodied limbs.Samuel lay unconscious beside her, his face soaked in sweat, twitching occasionally from the pain. But Adam wasn’t done.He turned to one of Hammer’s men.“Wake him up.”The soldier stepped forward with a bucket of icy water and threw it over Samuel’s face.“AHHH!” Samuel jolted upright, screaming as the pain from his shattered legs surged through his body again. “W-What… what’s happening?!”Adam stepped forward, towering above them like judgment itself.“Let’s talk, shall we?” he said, his voice calm… too calm. “About Tessa. About the little kidnapping stunt you pulled.”Wendy shook her head, fast. “We didn’t do anything! You’re making things up! I swear—”Adam pulled out his phone. With a swipe, a recording echoed through the silent hall:> “Show up alone, Adam, or we’ll slit her throat l

Lord Hammer strode forward, boots thudding like judgment itself. He stopped before Adam and gave a slight nod. No words were exchanged, but something passed between them—an unspoken recognition of rank.Then he turned to face the stunned crowd.“You dared defy a higher authority,” Hammer’s voice rang out, deep and cold. “And now, you will face the consequences.”Triston's face twisted in confusion. “Higher authority?” he echoed, baffled.“What do you mean, Lord Hammer? I haven’t offended anyone!”Adam stepped forward, handing Tessa gently into Stacey’s arms. “Take her inside. Let her rest—the toxins will wear off soon.”Then he turned back to Triston with a cold, arrogant smile.“You fool,” Adam said. “He’s talking about me. I’m the highest authority in this room.”Triston’s eyes widened. “You? How dare you involve yourself in this? Are you suicidal?”Suddenly—CRACK!Hammer’s foot connected with Triston’s jaw. The sound of splintering bone echoed. Triston screamed as his teeth flew ou

Triston’s forces flooded the hall like a wave of black-clad thunder. Within seconds, they surrounded Adam and Stacey, fully armed and outnumbering them nearly ten to one. But Adam?He didn’t flinch.“I won’t say it again,” Adam said, voice like steel. “Drop her.”Triston scoffed, as if Adam's words were nothing but wind.“Still barking?” he sneered. “You insulted Lord Chaosbreaker and still have the guts to act tough? I’ll personally snap every bone in your body.”Adam’s eyes narrowed. “Did Marvin send you?” His voice was cold, lethal. He didn’t believe Marvin would be foolish enough to try this. And if he had—Adam could erase him with a single phone call.But Triston only laughed.“Lord Chaosbreaker doesn’t need to say a word. I serve him. I live to please him. And when I bring him your head—” he grinned, eyes wild, “he’ll know who truly deserves his favor.”Adam clicked his tongue, shaking his head. “So you did this on your own? You must really want to die.”Triston’s face twisted w

“I told you—I’d come back for you.”Triston’s voice was a low growl, his jaw clenched, eyes burning with vengeance. His men moved like shadows, swarming the hallway outside the presidential suite with ruthless precision.He hadn’t forgotten what Adam did. Insulting Marvin was one thing—but mocking him publicly had sealed his fate. Triston had only escorted Marvin home to ensure his safety. After that, he returned to fulfill his promise by ending Adam.He'd received information that Adam was a skilled fighter so he arranged tactical men to handle this situation. He's going to punish Adam publicly.“Take him away!” Triston barked.One of his men hesitated. “And what about the lady?”Triston’s eyes narrowed. “Carry her too.”Down below, as the soldiers descended the stairs with Adam and Tessa slumped unconscious on their shoulders, a murmur rose among the crowd.Samuel was still kneeling at the center, and upon seeing Adam limp in the arms of Triston’s men, his eyes lit up with glee. “Fi

Tessa answered without a trace of doubt.“I won’t regret it. If I get pregnant, I’ll keep the child. I’ll raise them—on my own, if I have to.”Her voice was soft but firm. In her heart, this was more than a promise—it was her way of repaying the man who had stood beside her when no one else did.Adam’s eyes lit up with a rare joy. Without warning, he swept her into his arms, drawing a gasp from her lips.“Tessa…” he whispered, overwhelmed. Then, louder—“I’ll make sure you never regret this.”“Bastards! You think you can do whatever you want?!” Samuel’s voice thundered from below, his rage echoing through the walls. He couldn’t hear their words, but he didn’t need to—he could see what was happening. And it drove him mad.Yet, the sun still hung in the sky. For now, he was powerless.Far off, Stacey had been watching the situation unfold. The moment she saw Adam carrying Tessa, she rushed to prepare the presidential suite.Upstairs, the room glowed with dim, golden light as Adam gently
