2025-01-21 03:37:55Franco stood at the banquet with flowers in his hands as he watched his wife walk to the stage.
He has a very BIG secret he has been keeping from her for four years now and plans to share it with her on this special day but first, he wants her to call him to the stage as her husband before he makes this special announcement to her... "Go, Elena!" Franco cheered up with the hope that Elena would definitely call him up to the stage as her husband. "So, Mrs Froston, can you tell the masses how you managed to win this contract with GLC?" The hostess said as Elena looked down at the guests. The first person she gave an ignorant glare was Franco. "I can't wait to see Elena's face when she learns that I am the person behind all her contracts and all the wealth her family possessed..." Franco whispered to himself, smiling gently at Elena as if he won the lottery. Then, Elena's voice jolted him from his thoughts. "I bagged this contract today by my sincere hard work and dedication to Froston Empire. But I couldn't have done all these without the help of someone..." Hearing this, Franco started smiling! He can't wait to be called Elena's biggest supporter! "The one who has been there for me for three years now. The person who made me experience the true meaning of Love! " "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome on stage, the man behind my smile, Mr..." She said and Franco started walking out. "....Mr Edgar Cayce!" Elena said, and Franco stopped walking immediately. "Edgar?" His lips muttered as he took a look at the stage and saw a man hugging Elena with a smile on his face. He was none other than Edgar Cayce, Elena's ex-boyfriend. But what is he doing here? "What is going on here, Elena?" Franco yelled, clenching the flower in his hands. His statement made everywhere silent as they all looked down to see the Trash talking! "You are very much aware that I am your husband! We've been married for four years now, Elena! You ought to introduce me as your Husband so why are you introducing this man here as your biggest SHOT?" He added hastily but someone gave him an excruciating slap instantly! Turning to his left, it was his mother-in-law, Rita Froston! "You useless live-in boy! How dare you refer to Mr Cayce as a nobody? She yelled at him, pointing her fingers at his face. "If not because of Mr Cayce, you'd have been in the Car Wash, washing a Cheap Car by now!" Rita said, her tone expressing her true definition - LUXURY But she wasn't wrong when she called Franco a live-in Nobody. Four years ago, Michael Froston, Elena's uncle, brought Franco from the street and said he wanted him to be Elena's husband. Ever since then, he has been married to Elena and also living with her in her parents' house. The moment Michael Froston died, they started treating Franco as a slave. Making him do the house chores and even become a Manny to Elena's niece. Out of the whole Froston, Elena treated Franco differently but now, she's introducing another man as her husband. "Listen, Mom..." "Shut up and listen to me!" Rita cut him off instantly! "There is no way you will be ruining this special day! So get your useless ass out of this banquet!" "I'm sorry, Mother, but I refuse to leave here until I reveal to Elena that I've been the one sponsoring all her contracts for the past four years! I've been the one connecting her to many big shots within and outside Otlanto!" Someone threw the ball on Franco's head instantly. He looked and saw Elena. She stepped down, walking towards him with her hands connected with Edgar's. "Did I just hear you say that you've been the one sponsoring all my contracts?" She said and Franco turned to her instantly. "Yes! I've been the one helping you out. I even made Froston Empire fall under the top ten Loyal Corp in Otlanto" Franco said, forwarding the flowers in his hand to her. "Look, I even planned to surprise you with this flower and a dinner at..." Before Franco could complete his utterance, Elena dragged the flowers forcefully from him and threw them away! "I'm done with your nonsense, Franco! I'm not ready for this marriage. I want a Divorce!" She yelled and brought out a document from her purse "These are Divorce papers! I'm ready to live my life with the man I love and no longer interested in staying with you as my husband!" "Sign these divorce papers and leave this banquet right now!" She said and flung the Divorce papers to Franco's face.

238. He Should Be Removed Immediately!
The silence that followed Franco’s threat was broken when Granny stepped forward. The tip of her walking stick struck the ground with a sharp crack, commanding attention. Her wrinkled face was stern, her eyes locked on Eddie.“What on earth are you thinking, boy?” she demanded. “Did you truly believe you could bring down the Lord? Do you have a death wish?”Eddie froze, his breath catching. Of all people, Granny was the last he expected to hear this from. He had thought she would show her resentment for Franco—maybe even stand beside him in tearing the man down. But her words revealed the opposite. She was siding with Franco.The realization stung like betrayal.“What are you saying, Granny?” Eddie’s voice shook with disbelief. “You mean to tell me I shouldn’t be doing this? Don’t you know who we’re talking about here? It’s Franco! The same useless man who once lived under your roof as a pauper. And now you defend him?” His voice rose, raw and incredulous. “You should be condemning hi
237. Choose Wisely!
The whispers in the crowd still rippled like restless wind when Franco turned his cold eyes toward Eddie.“I love your audacity, Eddie. But…” His voice trailed, heavy with menace.“You should have learned from what happened to Rita,” Franco continued, his tone sharpening. “Her fate should have been enough warning—that no one speaks against the Ruffian Lord.”Eddie turned to him, fearless, his stare piercing through the weight of the threat.“So, what exactly are you trying to prove by that? That you’re above being spoken against?”He stepped closer, his voice gaining edge. “You should know better, Franco. Just because you were made the Ruffian Lord doesn’t mean you’re pure. Personally, I don’t see anything Ruffian about you. You don’t even deserve the position you’re standing on.”The words barely left his mouth when a metallic click cracked the air—guns cocked and aimed at Eddie’s head.The sharp sound froze the crowd. Breath caught in throats as everyone braced for the inevitable—a
236. Do You Have Solid Reason To Back It Up?
As Rita collapsed, weak and fragile, the cameras instantly locked onto her face—the woman who had shaken the heart of the Lord.This had never happened before. Even Lord Xoxo himself was stunned. How could the Lord’s divine ears be moved by Muna’s words?The crowd whispered the same question, their voices rising in disbelief.Eddie only shook his head. He still couldn’t accept it. The very man he despised, mocked, and dragged through the mud—Franco—was now standing before them as the Ruffian Lord.The memory struck him like a blade. Months ago, Franco had challenged him to present a gift to the Scotts. Eddie brought fakes, confident in his scheme. Yet Franco had destroyed those gifts and—before everyone’s eyes—summoned Lord Xoxo to deliver treasures worth billions.Now it all made sense.Eddie’s lips trembled.“So… Franco was right that day? He wasn’t faking it? He… was the true genius?”His chest tightened. His thoughts dragged him back to that night.“And that night…”His pulse quic
238. The Ruffian Lord Can Be Merciful?
But even with all her begging and desperate pleas, her mother’s body kept trembling under the assault of that terrifying power.Her words couldn’t reach Franco. They bounced off him as if they were nothing, and the sight of this made her lips quiver.“My words don’t reach the ears of the Lord… This isn’t the Franco I once knew. This version is merciless, unyielding. Why? Why can’t he hear me? Is he truly this wicked—or is he only taking his revenge on us?”As the thought left her trembling lips, she looked up again—and froze. Franco’s ears were glowing. Her head shook violently as she whispered to herself, trying to grasp the meaning of it.It wasn’t only her who was shaken. The people watching also asked themselves, their voices filled with dread.“Why is this happening? Why are the Lord’s ears glowing?”“This can’t be a good thing!”“No…this is bad, terribly bad!”“Is this a curse? A bad omen? What on earth is happening?!”Everyone had questions, yet not a single answer that could e
237. I Have Sinned I know
Elena’s lips quivered until her teeth began to chatter. She stood rooted, watching her mother convulse as if struck by lightning. Breath jagged, she tried to make sense of it all. “Franco is the—Franco is the Ruffian Lord?” The words came out broken, each syllable soaked in disbelief.Rita’s body shuddered under the invisible pressure. Maya threw herself to her knees before Franco and bowed her head until her forehead touched the floor. “My Lord, have mercy. Please—my mother didn’t mean to. She failed you; she failed to show you the honor you deserve. Spare her life.”Franco’s fists tightened. Mercy did not live on his face. He unleashed another searing orb; it struck Rita with bone-deep force. Her mouth hung open—soundless. She hovered between worlds: mind sharp, body betrayed by pain.Edgar staggered as if the revelation had knocked the breath out of him. “Franco… the Ruffian Lord?” he repeated to himself, as though saying it might bend reality.Maya’s voice cracked again. “Please,
