"Jordan....." Zoey froze as she stuttered, turning around to look at the figure that just called her name.
Turning around, she came face to face with Jordan, who was standing not too far away from her, a smile on his face as he stared at her. "Zoey...." "Jordan, I'm no longer your wife, I'm about to get married, so you should leave!" Zoey's voice suddenly turned cold, cutting Jordan off. "But...." "There's no but, after what you did five years ago, there's no way I'll accept someone like you." Zoey continued coldly, forcing back the tears threatening to drop from her eyes. "You should know better than anyone back then that I was innocent, I wouldn't do such a thing." Jordan sighed, looking at Zoey, whose eyes were red. "I...." Zoey stuttered, wanting to say something, but the tears in her eyes threatened to overflood her face. She knew well that Jordan was innocent and was just a victim of a devious plot from her family and in-laws, but there was nothing she could do about it. "Jordan?" A shocked voice came, staring at Jordan in shock. "Ella, how have you been doing?" Jordan looked forward and a smile appeared on his face as he said. "I...." Ella stuttered looking at Jordan as though she had seen a ghost. "Why are you staring at me that way? Perhaps you've forgotten what you did five years ago," Jordan smirked, walking closer to Ella. "No...no don't come closer..." Ella stuttered, moving back in fear, her eyes filled with horror. "I should stay back after what you did to me five years ago?" Jordan squinted his eyes, looking at Ella. "I didn't do anything to you; you were the one who tried to take advantage of me," Ella argued weakly, moving back slowly, her face pale and her legs trembling, sweat covering her forehead. "Is that so?" Jordan frowned, looking at Ella. "Tell me exactly what happened and why you did that?" He questioned, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a frown. "You were the one who tried to take advantage of me and you..." "If you spit one more lie, then you wouldn't know how you'll meet Hades..." Jordan cut her off, a murderous aura seeped out of his body. "I..." Ella stammered. "Speak!" Jordan roared. "It was your father and brother who came to meet me that I should help them frame you and that they would give me a sum..." Ella said hurriedly. "Zoey, you see, I told you that I was guilty." Jordan sighed, turning to look at Zoey who was staring at the whole scene. The murderous aura seeping from his body had completely disappeared. "Is that true?" Zoey finally asked after a long while staring at Ella. She had always known that Jordan was not going to do such, but there were still some doubts in her heart. "What else do you think?" Ella sneered, she had recovered from the shock. "Do you think you were the only one meant to have something good in your life?" She continued looking at Zoey. "To be frank, I was the one who brought up the idea of marrying you off Winston's family." Ella snorted coldly. Zoey froze upon hearing this. She couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't believe that Ella hated her this much. They were both families, so what had she done to receive this much of a hare from the other party? "Zoey, where are you? Everyone is waiting. What's taking you so long?" An old, but enthusiastic voice came. Soon, an old figure walked up to the scene, looking at Zoey, who was staring at Ella with red eyes. "What's taking you so long? Don't keep the young master waiting," The woman continues,d, wanting to pull Zoey. "And you, Ella, you shouldn't say hurtful words to your sister; she's getting married today; she needs to be happy." The old woman turned to Ella, reprimanding her. "Come on, Zoey, let's go; you don't need to be so emotional." She continued wanting to pull Zoey away. "Grandmother, call off the marriage, I'm not going to get married again." Zoey suddenly said, refusing to be pulled along. "Huh?" The old woman froze, then turned to look at Zoey in shock. The next moment, she exploded in rage, "What the hell are you even thinking?!" "How can this say I should cancel the marriage? Everyone is already waiting for your arrival. The Young Master of the Winston family, too, is waiting?" "What do you want me to say? Do you think this is just a simple marriage? Our family would be finished, are you even thinking about others? You unfilial Granddaughter!" Grandmother bellowed. "I..." Zoey was taken aback and stuttered, not knowing what to say. "But...." "No buts, you're going to get married to the Young master of the Winston Family whether you like it or not!" Grandmother raged. "What do you want me to say if I suddenly cancel the marriage!" She continued. "Don't worry grandmother, I'll go explain to the guests," At this moment, Jordan spoke, his voice low but sounding like Thunder in the old woman's ears. "Jordan?" Grandmother froze, turning around to see Jordan. Just now, she had not noticed him; she had been too enthusiastic about the wedding as the Young Master of the Winston Family had promised them a Cooperation. If they were able to Co-operate with such a Powerful family, at least, they would be able to move up the ranks and become a second-tier family. But who would have thought that Zoey would delay everything? To make sure that everything was right, she came to call Zoey herself, so she was in a hurry and didn't happen to see Jordan, who was by her side. "What the heck are you doing here?" Grandmother immediately flew into another fit of rage glaring at Jordan. "Get the hell out of here; no one wants to see you; besides, Zoey has divorced you. So get lost!" She roared. "Zoey, is that true?" Jordan couldn't help but glance at Zoey. "I...." Zoey stuttered, feeling exasperated as she glanced at Jordan and her grandmother. "She hasn't divorced me, so she won't be getting married to anyone, besides, I'll go explain to them. They would all understand," Jordan said, breaking the silence. "Zoey, let's go," Jordan continued, pulling Zoey away. "Where the hell do you think you are going?" Grandmother roared, her expression changed as she rushed after Jordan who was heading to the hall.

Does The Owen Family Know?
In a flash, three hours passed, Jordan and Azure Dragon were still where they were, no one saying anything to each other. Azure Dragon stood silently besides Jordan, watching every single thing in the surroundings, ready to attack anything that looked more like a threat. Jordan on the other hand sat on the bonnet of the car, staring into the distance. No one knew what he was thinking. His expression was blank and it didn't look like he was thinking about anything. He was just there, staring into the silence, not knowing what to do. He could still remember the content of the letter clearly. No matter how he tried, he couldn't find a hint to what he wanted. Who exactly were his parents? Just how strong were they to be able to look into his divination? Could it be that they had seen everything that was supposed to happen to him? A lot of thoughts ran through his mind at the moment and he didn't even know where to start. In a flash, another hour went by again. The silence rem
The Letter That Has Been Unread For Twenty-Seven Years
"Drive safely dear," Ava waved at Jordan who had gotten into the car. Azure Dragon nodded and started the car driving away almost immediately. Ava watched as the car disappeared from sight, shook her head and walked slowly back to the orphanage. She also has no idea who Jordan's parents were. At the same time, she had no idea what was inside the metallic box. Though it had been with her for a while twenty seven years, she had never tried to open it to know what was inside. Shaking her head, she could only hope Jordan was going to find the answers he wanted. Jordan and Azure Dragon on the other hand drove slowly along the highway. The silence in the car was a little bit heavy. No one was saying anything. "Remember to offer some financial aid to the orphanage when we get back," Jordan finally broke the silence, his voice a little bit hoarse. "Yes sir," Azure Dragon nodded, his eyes still on the road. He couldn't tell what his master was going through, so he just continued to dri
Flashback
Hearing Ava's words, Jordan's expression changed, but he still nodded slowly, his brows narrowing into a thin line. "But how did you know?" He asked after a long moment of silence. "Your mother told me," Ava responded, not hiding anything from Jordan who froze the moment he heard that. "My..my mother...?" Jordan stuttered, not believing his ears. "Yes your mother," Ava nodded, the smile on her face didn't fade even for a second. "It all happened on a stormy night," She recounted, her eyes showing a hint of reminiscing., "Back then, I had just been employed and it was my second night here at the Orphanage when I heard a knock on the door,"FLASHBACK (Twenty Seven Years Ago) Thunder crackled in the sky. The already downpour intensified, further darkening the already dark sky at the dead of the night. Everywhere was silent, and only the sound of the downpour could be heard. Inside the orphanage home, a woman in her early forties strolled around the rooms in the orphanage house,
Seeking Answers
Hearing the voice, Jordan froze in place, his body shuddered as he turned around slowly, the old voice still ringing like an alarm bell in his head.Though it had been more than a decade since he last heard the voice, he could recognize it well. There was no need to be told who it was.That was the woman who took care of him as a kid until the Garrison family came to adopt him.That voice, though now old, had definitely risen and looked after hundreds of children at the Orphanage.Turning around slowly, he came face to face with a woman in her late sixties, wrinkles all over her face and she looked older than she was supposed to.Well, this was due to the stress of taking care of the orphaned children over the years."Jordy?" The lady called again, just to be sure, her wrinkled face filled with shock as she stared at Jordan."Yes mother, it's me, Jordy," Jordan nodded, his eyes red at the moment, his body shaking as he stepped towards the lady."Jordy, it's really you...." The lady fi
The Orphanage
"Don't worry Zoey, I'll definitely give them a way out, I won't be too harsh on them, I'll just teach them a slight lesson," Jordan chuckled agreeing to Zoey's pleas."Thank you very much," Zoey instantly became excited and kissed Jordan's cheeks after which her face went red after realizing what she had done."I..I need to go do some work in my room, I won't be coming out for a while..." Zoey stuttered and hurried back to her room."Sister, you'd better do fast and give me either a healthy niece or nephew, I've waited for too long," Sarah who was also sitting on the sofa teased, watching as Zoey's face became redder while rushing into the room."Don't talk nonsense Sarah," Zoey scolded before her figure disappeared into the room.It was the next day already. The night before was a nightmare just as Zoey had expected, her classmates had looked down on Jordan.Though Jordan didn't really flare up as she had expected, he still did teach some quite a lesson, causing them to either lose
Please, Don't Get Annoyed
Just as the previous day went by so quickly, the next day came and also went by quickly.At the moment, Zoey was pacing around the small house, glancing at her watch every second."Jordan hurry up, we'll be late!" Zoey finally yelled as she couldn't take it any more."Sister, you should take it easy on brother-in-law, after all you didn't inform him of the reunion quickly, if it were not for your persistence, he wouldn't have agreed to go," Sarah who was sitting on the couch chuckled as she watched the TV.Zoey scoffed and rolled her eyes at Sarah. Today was her school reunion. She also didn't know about it until someone told her about it which in turn forced her to inform Jordan who was reluctant to go."Jordan!" Zoey yelled again as she got increasingly impatient. If they continued to stay back, they would be stuck in traffic and that would be bad.If only she knew how powerful Jordan was and that he could directly teleport them to the venue, maybe she wouldn't be this anxious."I'm
