Chapter 4

Back in the prison

Andre quietly found a spot to sit down. He ignored the persistent tantrums of the prisoners which was being thrown at him.

Not long after he was settled, the bell rang which signified dinner. The inmates all rushed out leaving behind, Andre, an old man, and a monstrous-looking thug.

Andre sensed a foul in the air but went out of the cell. As soon as he left, the monstrous-looking thug approached the old man, shoving a knife out of his pocket. He twirled the knife in the air and strode in a slow motion.

This monstrous man was given an assignment by the boss in the cell to kill him, the boss's reason was that the man was too old and he snored loudly whenever he was asleep.

His persistent snoring had caused him many sleepless nights which he could no longer withhold.

As the monstrous thug tried to stab the man because the man was asleep, a full force slapped the knife away from the thug’s hands, and he shrieked.

When he turned to behold Andre, a distasteful sneer tugged at the corner of his lips. He suddenly picked up the knife and tried to fight Andre, if possible to eliminate him.

Moreover, he was awaiting a death sentence.

Andre fought so hard and was able to defeat the monstrous thug. The thug had no choice but to run out.

Andre whirled to see the old man still snoring and sleeping. He was even sound asleep, totally oblivious to the danger that could have cost him his life.

Andre walked away from the old man, he knew he was the next target for the big bully in the cell.

A few hours after every inmate had settled, Andre could feel the effect of their glares boring into his skin. So he was super conscious and refused to shut his eyes.

Not long after, Andre was overpowered and almost beaten to a stupor when the sudden voice of the warden that pierced through the cell disrupted the evil’s intentions.

“Old cargo, come out!” The warden barked.

Each of the inmates' eyes darted to the old man who was still sleeping and snoring loudly. The leader of the inmates flicked his fingers and two among the inmates rushed to the old man and kicked him so hard in the head which jolted the man from his deep slumber.

They all jeered at the man's sudden display.

“Your bailing is today, come out of the cell.” The warden's harsh voice resounded in the cell.

The old man struggled to his feet but fell each time, Andre had no choice but to rush towards him and volunteered to help him up.

He aided the old man towards the door, and as the man left the cell, he snuck some stuff into Andre’s hands and muttered some Inaudible words.

“Congratulations!” The old man said before being led away.

Andre immediately opened his palms to check the stuff, a jade ring. Andre furrowed his brows as he perused the ring.

“All hell would lose on you since our prey is gone. You’re the next target, just watch out.” Andre heard a rigid voice behind him. It was coming from those thugs who had teamed up to beat him earlier.

Andre slid his fingers into the ring, and it was fitted.

“Come and lick my feet, dog!” One among the thugs who Andre presumed to be the boss ordered and Andre pretended as if he never heard him and returned to his spot.

“I’m talking to you!” The boss yelled.

But Andre was quiet.

“Beat him up!” The boss ordered.

Although Andre wasn’t a weakling his power was outmatched compared to 8 muscular dangerous criminals who had hovered over him.

They beat him to a stupor, and broke the bridge of his nose, with blood dripping from his mouth.

He suddenly brought his hands closer to his mouth and coughed out blood. The blood from his mouth spilled on the jade ring unknowingly, and it glowed under the dim light.

The rich spiritual power from the jade ring pierced through Andre’s body, his eyes shut tight, and he found himself on another planet.

He was facing a divine being who was dressed in a white robe, translucent light glowing from his robe. Andre recognized the man as the old man from the prison,

“Congratulations on activating the ancient ring of the dragon’s lineage. You’re my descendants, and you’re the chosen one to carry on my legacy. The jade ring is not just a ring but contains a small world that hosts many varieties of life such as spiritual powers, medical knowledge, martial arts, and the god of war.”

“Now go on and rule the world. Ensure you use the ring well in a positive way.”

The old man said, blowing some air at Andre which automatically revives him. Meanwhile, physically he was already beaten to the point of death,

Andre suddenly felt a new surge of energy evaporating into his body from the jade ring, all the open cuts in his body suddenly healed up.

His eyes turned crimson and a strong killing intent emitted from his body.

“He’s… awake,” one among the men stuttered.

The others stared in disbelief at Andre who stood fitted on his feet, his dark aura which spread across the room causing havoc.

“Finish him with the knife in your hands!” The boss ordered.

Before his predators could even approach him, Andre already sent them flying some meters away with a mere glare. In a twinkle of an eye, the bullies in the room were all sprawling on the floor, begging for mercy.

Just as Andre was about to finish his business with the boss, the rustling sounds from the cell frame drew their attention.

“Andre Spencer?” The warden called.

Andre stopped with his punch in the air and let go of his anger. He strode towards the entrance of the cell gate and it was opened.

As he stepped out of the cell, he asked.“Where are you taking me to?”

The warden was quiet but gestured for Andre to lead the way.

For once, Andre did not know what to do.He let out a sharp breath and turned to leave.Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket.He paused, pulled it out, and looked at the screen.A message from Sasha.“We are divorcing!”Andre blinked, his eyes scanning the words again.Divorcing?His hand moved to his face as he rubbed his eyes, as if that would change what he was seeing.Why?He stood there for a few seconds, unable to move.Why would Sasha want a divorce?Before he could think further, his phone rang.Sasha.His chest tightened painfully. For a moment, he just stared at the screen.Should he pick up?Or ignore it and walk away from everything?His jaw clenched.

She tried to find out the number that had just texted her and realized it was an unknown number.A heavy sigh left her mouth and her hands dropped at her side.Just as her lips parted for words. Sounds of footsteps emerged in the air and her jaw tilted in that direction to see Drake, and her uncle emerging.Drake was sparing her a triumphant and pitiful look.Badmus seemed to raise his shoulders like a peacock.“Look who we have here,” Drake’s voice cut through the thick silence that enveloped the air.Sasha sighed, tearing her gaze away from Drake to her uncle.She came here with a purpose and the purpose? Drake wasn’t even 0.001 percent of it.“Be careful with those mist in your eyes, cousin, I’m afraid here might turn to an ocean,”Sas

    Chapter 52 – The LieInside Grandpa Rollins’ study, he sat rigidly in his leather armchair, hands gripping the armrests as if they could contain the storm inside him. His chest rose and fell rapidly, every breath sharp and heavy.Across from him, Badmus remained seated, trying to read his father’s temper. His son, Drake, whispered something in his ear—and immediately earned a glare that silenced him.Badmus cleared his throat, forcing a calm expression. Then he spoke.“Father… time is slipping,” he said cautiously. “If we continue to sit in silence, Sasha will catch on. She’ll see through the lies we’ve fed her since her mother went missing.”Grandpa Rollins’ eyes widened in disbelief. His lips parted, words slurred. “Repeat that,” he demanded.Badmus flinched but repeated himself, careful to keep his voice steady.“You heard me, father. Sasha isn’t dumb. She’ll notice if Melissa isn’t under our care.”A vein throbbed at Grandpa’s temple. He jabbed an elbow in the air, furious. “Shit!

    Chapter 51Andre returned to the hospital to meet an empty space. When he returned to the receptionist to ask about his wife, Sasha. He was told she already left the hospital.He could hear their sneer from the background.“How come she never told him she was leaving if truly they were married?” They were right with their gossips. He had no time or the interest ti indulge in any unprofitable argument.“Thank you,” he looked over from his shoulders and smiled as he thanked them.As he stepped out of the hospital building, he dialed his wife’s number. It rang twice then it became unreachable.“What the heck?” he cussed under his breath and gripped the phone in his hands tightly.A thought crossed in his heart, but he shrugged of the ideas. There's no point trying to her Joe involve in this when it's obvious that his mother was shady and Joe was loyal to his mother.This was his mess do he's gonna treat it delicately.Swallowing a lump down his throat he made for his car.On the othe

    “Mum, that is all in the past. I’m in love with her daughter now.”Andre held his mother’s hands firmly and locked his gaze with hers.“Her daughter is my wife,” he continued quietly. “And I can’t bear seeing her in pain.”For a moment, Lady Yvonne stared at him.“Mother… if Melissa Roland is with you—”Andre paused.The silence stretched between them, tension hanging heavily in the air. His jaw tightened as if the words themselves were difficult to say.Finally, he drew in a deep breath and forced them out.“Release her.”Lady Yvonne’s mouth slowly fell open.Shock flickered across her face before anger replaced it.She abruptly pulled her hands away from his grip and breathed heavily, as if something inside her had snapped.Her eyes lingered on him for a few seconds, searching his face as though she could not recognize the son standing before her.Then she turned her face to the other side.“I’m angry, son,” she said slowly.Her voice was low, but it carried a sharp edge.“And I don

    Chapter 49“Son…”A faint tremor ran through his mother’s voice.Silence followed.Then a harsh cough broke it, thick and painful, echoing through the phone.“M-mother…” Andre almost bit his tongue as the word slipped out.Even after her apology and the sudden kindness she had shown him these past weeks, calling her that still felt strange. The word felt heavy in his mouth, unfamiliar.“Yes… son…” Her voice sounded weak and slurred.“What’s wrong, Mother?” Andre asked, concern creeping into his tone.“Didn’t Joe tell you I’ve been coughing and vomiting blood?”Andre stiffened.Joe had told him.The memory stung with guilt. Yet he couldn’t bring himself to lie.“Yes, Mother—”“And you still didn’t come to see me?” she cut him off. Her voice trembled. “Are you still angry that I left you behind?”She paused to breathe.“There were circumstances… terrible ones.”Her breathing grew heavier.“And before all that, I carried you for nine months. I stayed awake through your colic. I ran aroun
