"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.

    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
