“If he can't reproduce, then you better get someone else to.” Then she storms out of the room, leaving Ashanti and Dexter with a stunned expression.

“I'm sorry.” She muttered and walked over to him, “I don't know what to say… I'm so sorry that grandma thinks that way of you. If you want, we could prove her wrong..” Ashanti said and raised her hands to unbutton Dexter's shirt.

“No, don't.” Dexter held her hand, stopping her from proceeding.

“Why? You don't want us to…”

Dexter immediately shook his head, “No, no…I mean… I don't think you are ready. I don't want you to do it with me because you feel obligated or pressured by your grandmother.” He adds, “The first time was a mistake, I don't want the second to be filled with regrets. Just allow her to think about what she wants. Didn't you say we'll have kids when we're ready? We obviously aren't ready.” He explains.

Ashanti sighed, “Perhaps it's you, who isn't ready.”

Dexter chuckled, “I was born ready. But I'm not in a rush. I like to

  • CH ~ 0086 WORSHIP OF FANG

    No..She shook her head inwardly. It didn’t make sense. Dexter was her husband, the man who had endured whispers of poverty and scorn.. The word “wealth” had never belonged to him.Yet the jade glimmered with undeniable truth.Dexter saw the shock and confusion stirring in her eyes, and his chest tightened. For a fleeting moment, he longed to throw caution to the wind, to tell her everything—that he was a descendant of the Wilson family, heir to a fortune that could crush empires. He wanted to tell her she had never married a poor man, but the rightful heir of trillions.But then the memory of shadowy faces from his past struck him like a blade. His father had brothers—uncles whose blood ran colder than stone, men whose offspring would see him as a rival to be eliminated the moment his identity surfaced. If he revealed himself now, he would not only put himself at risk—he would drag Ashanti into the deadly whirlpool of inheritance wars.And that… he could never allow it.So he swallow

    The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, releasing Ashanti and Dexter into the top floor of the Imani Paradise Hotel.Ashanti’s heart pounded loudly in her chest. Before her was the magnificent Elite Vogue — a place so exclusive that even the wealthiest in Chicago whispered about it with envy. Tonight, every table, every candlelit corner, every inch of its crystal-glass expanse had been reserved for them.She felt like royalty.It couldn’t be real. The Elite Vogue wasn’t a place just anyone could book, not even with superhuman influence. Wait... Today is Saturday, isn't it? wasn't this place booked for the mayor's daughter?

  • CH ~ 0083 CORRECTION

    In the living room, Eleanor froze where she sat. Her sewing needle slipped from her trembling fingers, clattering uselessly onto the floor. His screams, a sound she knew too well split through the walls. Each cry for help was like a sword, sharper than the last, carving through the fragile shell she had built around her heart.Her hands shook violently as she fumbled for the headphones on the table beside her. She pressed them over her ears with desperate force. Music helped in situations like this. A flimsy attempt to cover the sound, but Ethan’s screams pierced through anyway. They always did. No melody could hide the truth—that her child was being broken again, piece by piece, while she sat powerless.Tears streamed down her face, hot and ceaseless. She pressed her palms harder against the headphones, as if crushing them into her skull could force the cries away. Her breath came shallow, ragged, as if she were drowning on dry land. Each sob of his etched into her bones, and she

  • CH ~ 0082 KILL ME

    The door slammed open with a thunderous crack that rattled the walls and before Ethan could process what happening, Byron’s massive hand clamped down on the back of his neck and shoved him forward. His feet tangled beneath him, and he went sprawling onto the floor. The air in the room was different from the hall outside—thicker, heavier, as though every breath carried smoke, sweat, and something darker. Ethan’s chest burned with each inhalation as his eyes darted upward, searching the room for escape, but his father's presence filled the space. For some reason, he felt trapped like he was certain there was no way out.Byron crouched in front of him, close enough that Ethan could smell the stale bitterness of whiskey on his breath. His cold eyes bored into his son, unwavering and merciless. When he spoke, his voice was low, almost conversational, which made it all the more terrifying to Ethan, who just wanted it all to stop.“I carve lessons into your body,” Byron said, each word c

  • CH ~ 0081 AFTER REHEARSAL

    Dexter notices the look of horror on everyone's face, including Beatrice, then he clears his throat, “I'll forgive you if you get up and walk back into your office and act like you didn't just knee here.” He whispered. He could tell that the middle-aged man had discovered his true identity through the payment made into a Vintage bank account by Roy.“But…”“Just do as I say..” Dexter assured him.With a humble smile he nodded and urged the security officers to let the woman out of the van immediately. Then he turned and walked away.Slowly, the security officers opened the door and Beatrice was brought out.“Let's go home?” Dexter tells her casually.“What the hell was that back there?” Beatrice asked as though interested to know why a man such as Paul would kneel before a lowly commoner like her son-in-law.“If I warn you about your tone again… there will be additional consequences, mum.” Dexter forced a smile as they got into the car, then he drove off.“I'm sorry, young master.”D
