"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? He slowly turned to look at the person he almost made out with a second ago. The teary face of Rhea welcomed him. She unleashed a heavy slap as she started crying and ran towards her sister Racheal. "Racheal, he did it again. Adam tried to sleep with me forcefully." "What?!" Adam knew he was going to be in a lot of trouble, there was no way he was going to prove he was innocent in this situation, they had tricked him. "No no no, Racheal this isn't what it seems like" Adam stammered walking to his wife, holding her arms. "I didn't try to do anything with her, she was the one who tried to sleep with me. I..." A heavy punch from Mr. Luther connected with his face, Adam fell on the floor the punch caused an injury on his lips. "You moron, you did it again didn't you?" Robin clenched his fist, he was about to beat the hell out of Adam but Luther held him back. "Despite how my entire family wanted you out of this family, I still respected your deal with my father and allowed you to remain Racheal's husband. Is this how you repay me? By trying to rape my other daughter? Your own sister in-law? What kind of a man would do such a thing?" Mr. Luther growled. "I can't believe this worthless trash is worse than I thought." Drake said in disgust. "Oh, Luther, thank God you've finally come to your senses!" Monica exclaimed, her voice dripping with relief and a hint of vindication. "This...this...parasite needs to divorce our daughter and get out of our lives for good!" she spat, her words laced with venom and disgust. "I can barely look at him, he's so beneath us. Get him out, Luther, get him out!" "After insulting me at the party you had the guts to still make an attempt to rape my niece?" His aunty in-law finally had the opportunity to get her revenge. The whole family was abusing and cursing Adam, his attention wasn't on them, he was focused on Racheal. "You aren't saying anything." He asked her, looking straight to her eyes. "What'd you want her to say, you're a monster and you're getting divorced right away!" Rhea interrupted but Adam ignored her. "I'm talking to you Rachael, say something. You know all these accusations are false." Rachael's voice dripped with malice as she spoke with conviction. "Adam, there's no denying what we all saw. You were forcing yourself on Rhea, and I won't stand by and let you get away with it." Her eyes flashed with a triumphant gleam, revealing the depth of her manipulation. "I think it's best if we just end this marriage. You're clearly not the man I thought you were." Rachael's smile was a thin, cruel line, her voice dripping with satisfaction as she watched Adam's reaction. Adam's eyes widened in shock and disbelief as Rachael's words cut through him like a knife. He felt like he'd been punched in the gut, his mind reeling from the accusations. "What are you talking about, Rachael? You know that's not what happened!" he protested, his voice rising in defense. "You heard her right, you too are getting divorced, you slum!" Drake cursed. "I can't stand a man who will continue playing me, father I'm ready to get a divorce." Racheal added. Adam gritted his teeth, his chest heaved with labored breaths, his nostrils flaring with each exhale. "You're the one who's been manipulating everything from the start! You're the one who's been playing me, using me for your own twisted games!" Adam's anger flared, his face hot with indignation. "How can you do this, Rachael? How can you stoop so low?" "What the hell are you blabbering about?" Rachael acted innocent. "You planned all of this, didn't you? I should have known. First you made me look like a clown at your birthday party and planned all this with your sister just to paint me bad in the presence of your father and make this divorce work!" Adam roared. "Enough of your nonsense!" Monica's voice was venomous. "How dare you accuse my daughter! You're not worthy of her. She's a gem, and every decent man would be lucky to have her. You're just a scumbag, nobody!" Adam's chuckle was cold "So, I'm garbage now? And she's too good for me? That's rich, coming from you. I recall when your family was desperate for someone, anyone, to marry Rachael. She was disabled, and no one wanted her." Adam's anger simmered just below the surface. "Three years ago, Rachael was confined to a wheelchair. And I'm the one who helped her walk again. I accepted this marriage because I needed the money for my mother's treatment. But after grandfather passed away, you reneged on your promises. You didn't give me a dime." Adam's voice rose, his words laced with indignation. "But I didn't abandon Rachael. I took care of her, bathed her, cooked for her, and loved her with all my heart. I even donated my own organ to save her life and made her be able to use her feet again. And now, you have the audacity to say I don't deserve her?" The room fell silent, the family's collective gaze fixed on Adam as he poured out his heart. The weight of their guilt was palpable. Monica's eyes darted away, her face flushed with shame. Rachael and The rest of the family seemed frozen, their faces etched with a mix of shock, anger, and regret. "Enough of your nonsense!" Mr. Luther spoke, breaking the silence. "You should be grateful that we still accepted you as our son-in-law and gave you shelter, even if my daughter wanted a divorce I still honored my father's deal with you and let you stay in our mansion, what more could we do for you?" Luther spoke aggressively. "I'm done with this farce of a relationship, and I'm exhausted from the constant drama. If you're so eager to get rid of me and divorce, then be prepared to uphold your end of the bargain. I demand the $10 million, as agreed upon. But that's not all - I want my kidney back. You may have manipulated me into donating it, but I won't let you keep it as a twisted souvenir of our toxic marriage. Return my organ, and maybe then we can discuss the terms of our separation." Rachael's eyes widened in horror, her face pale and frozen in shock. Fear and disbelief etched on her features, her lips parted in a silent gasp.Latest Chapter

Adam hesitated.Not from unwillingness — that had never been the problem. But he had carefully preserved her purity for a reason. His second cultivation breakthrough required it, a condition built into the method itself that couldn’t be worked around. Abandoning that now meant setting back a timeline he had already calculated down to the year.But the alternative was watching her die in front of him.Then something surfaced through the noise of the moment — a memory, sharp and sudden.“The phoenix blood herb.”He said it aloud without meaning to, pulling the small case from his side and opening it. The herb lay within, its faint luminescence unchanged, radiating the dense, layered energy it had taken years to accumulate. He had nearly handed it to a masked stranger at a lakeside. Now it might save Tessa’s life.The phoenix blood herb was among the rarest materials in existence for a reason. Its energy didn’t simply enhance cultivation — it cleansed. It moved through the body like a re

Lord Hades realized his mistake the moment he saw Adam’s expression. He should have told Sasha to send word earlier. He should have had a contingency that didn’t depend on timing he couldn’t control.There was no time for regret. He pulled the military knife from his belt in one motion and drove it hard into Adam’s abdomen.“Watch out!” Tessa’s warning came half a second too late.The blade connected — and rang out with a sharp metallic clang, like steel striking stone. No blood. No puncture. Adam didn’t even step back.The grin forming on Lord Hades’ face died before it finished.His eyes dropped to the knife, then rose slowly to Adam’s face. What looked back at him wasn’t anger. It was something quieter, and far worse.Adam exhaled slowly. Then he released his spiritual energy — not as a strike, not as a show of force, but as something deliberate and final, a single concentrated pulse directed inward at the man standing before him.Lord Hades’ eyes went wide. His legs gave out benea

“Yes! You can stop me for now, but you can’t stop me forever. If you dare to touch me, I’ll kill myself!” Tessa shouted, her voice trembling yet defiant. Her chest heaved as she tried to summon the last fragments of courage she had left.“It’s too late,” Lord Hades countered, his eyes cold and merciless. “You’ve been poisoned with Blossom. If we don’t consummate, your blood vessels will rupture—and you’ll die.”Tessa’s face turned pale, yet her voice remained steady. “Then let them burst. I’d rather die on my own terms than submit to you.”“That’s not an option,” Lord Hades growled, his body tense with desire and frustration. “I can’t bear the thought of losing you like this. Accept your fate, Tessa.”Before she could respond, he lunged toward her. Every step he took radiated power, his cultivation giving him speed and strength beyond normal comprehension. Tessa screamed and flailed, desperately trying to push him away, but her arms were too weak. Each movement she made seemed futile

“This is how you treat someone you claim to like?” Tessa’s voice cracked at the edges. She was close to breaking, and she knew it, and she hated that he could see it. This wasn’t the first time her appearance had made her a target. There had been a time when she had taken quiet pride in her looks. Now she wished she could shed them entirely. They had brought her nothing but this — men who saw her as something to be acquired rather than a person to be known.Lord Hades shifted uncomfortably, something almost like shame crossing his face before his conviction reasserted itself. “I know how this looks, Ms. Armand. I know it’s despicable. But I needed to act — I couldn’t keep waiting, watching you stay in his orbit and never have a real chance. If I can have you, truly have you, I believe I can make you understand what I feel. The body and the heart aren’t so separate as people pretend.”“You are shameless,” Tessa said. Her whole body was trembling — not just from the fear of what the dru

That selfish desire had been the root of everything that followed.When Lord Hades first uncovered information about Adam’s mother during his intelligence work, he made a quiet decision: he said nothing. He buried the findings, then eliminated the small number of subordinates who had been involved in uncovering them. Clean, efficient, untraceable. He had told himself at the time that he was simply keeping options open. He knew, even then, that he was lying to himself.Then Gunther released word that Adam was dead.Hades had felt something lift from his chest that he hadn’t realized was there. Without Adam, the obstacle simply ceased to exist. Tessa would need protection, guidance, someone capable of keeping her safe in a world that would immediately begin circling her the moment his Supreme General’s shadow no longer fell over her. He had already begun thinking through the details when the news arrived that Gunther had taken her.He hadn’t hesitated. He went after her himself, walked

“I’ll let you go this time,” Adam said. “But hear me — if it happens again, I will kill you.”He didn’t wait for her response. He turned and moved, crossing the terrain at a pace that shouldn’t have been possible. The mountain slopes that would have taken an ordinary person an hour to navigate he scaled in minutes, his silhouette cutting upward along the rock face and vanishing over the ridge.Sasha stood at the lakeside and stared after him long after he had disappeared from view. The shock didn’t settle quickly. She had seen strong men before — warriors, cultivators, people who operated well beyond normal human limits. But what she had just witnessed felt like something categorically different. Something that didn’t belong in the same conversation as ordinary strength.She stayed there for a while, not quite ready to move.Storm City was ringed by mountains — not dramatic peaks but dense, tightly packed ranges that pressed in around the city from every direction.
