Chapter 1: The vegetable

“I’m sorry Adonis, tonight would be the last time we stay together...” Aubrey touched Adonis’s face, said slightly.

“It has been 3 years since we married and we've never slept together. Now, they want me to marry that animal...I want you to be my first man, I will never let that animal to touch me...”

Aubrey’s slender hands were exploring Adonis’s body, but the man on the bed was just like a puppet.

She took a deep breath, as if she was encouraging herself.

After all, it was the first time she was so close to a man, even if Adonis was her husband.

She stroke Adonis’s abs, it made her blush.

But even though she tried her best, the man on the bed didn’t have any reaction to her.

Aubrey blushed, she forced her hands to move lower to his body.

Her face turned so red and heart beat really fast.

However, at this time, someone knocked the door violently.

“Get out from the room, Aubrey! Don’t think I didn’t aware what was happening there! You will engage with Zayn tonight, how dare you touch that vegetable again?”

It was Aubrey’s step-mother Anna, she was always mean to Aubrey.

Aubrey’s face was still red, she wanted to do something, but yeah, Anna was right.

Her husband, Adonis, was a vegetable man.

That’s why he gave no reaction to any move from her.

3 years ago, Adonis married Aubrey, but at the wedding night, he disappeared as a groom.

This news made Caddel family the laughingstock of Seapool City.

But Aubrey insisted that Adonis was not running away, he must have his reason. She rejected to divorce, which made his family furious.

She was still the CEO of Omnilert Company, her family business. But every penny she made would be taken away by her grandmother.

However, 3 months ago, Adonis was back!

But he was mindless, didn’t remember anything or speak a word. He became a vegetable man.

Aubrey teared, her tear dropped on Adonis’s face. She could not control anything, her fate, her husband...

She even had no extra money to take Adonis to the hospital, she had to take care of him alone!

She made a wry smile, took on her clothes and opened the door.

Anna frowned and looked at her, she sneered and said, “It seems you failed, my dear daughter. I don’t understand, Zayn is rich and powerful, why you just hold onto that idiot?”

“Could he bring you wealth or power? No! Only Zayn could bring them to you!” She said harshly.

Looking at the person laid on the bed unconsciously, she mocked, “Forget wealth and power, he couldn’t even give you the happiness of being a woman...”

Aubrey begged, “Please mom, don’t say that...”

Anna screamed, “That’s enough, Aubrey! You’d better to dress up and be a lamb, the party would start soon, Zayn would be there too. Behave well, we need you to make him satisfied.”

Aubrey took a deep breath, she held her tear and her face turned cold, “OK, I’ll be there right away.”

Anna sneered, she pointed at Aubrey, warning her not to play tricks.

Aubrey looked back, Adonis was still there, she couldn’t hold her tear anymore.

“I have to go, Adonis. It seems the miracle didn’t come...” She turned back and went to the dress room. What she didn’t notice was that Adonis’s fingers were trembling slightly.

...

Adonis felt he swam in a dark pool for so long. But one day, it rains.

He felt a water dropped on his face, he tried to touch that drop of water, but he failed.

“No, it must be the only way I could get out from this place!” Adonis shouted inside, suddenly he quivered and straighten his head, he sat up on the bed!

He reached out his hand, touched the water on his face.

It was the tear of Aubrey.

“What? What ma I doing here?”

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head, plenty of memory rushed to his brain.

“Young master, please avenge us! Go to the army! Avenge...” Screaming came from the phone.

At the wedding day, Adonis received a call from his butler. He could feel that he was so painful at that time.

He had no time to inform his wife or her family, but when he arrived at his home thousand miles away, it was still too late.

His whole family was killed!

The only clue was the butler’s words.

Go to the Army.

Without any hesitation, Adonis joined the army and started his investigation.

After winning countless battles and killing countless enemies, he won a title: Fire Dragon.

Everyone in the army treated him as a god of war!

But his investigation was not going well. He decided to go back to his wife’s house, however, at the day he was going to leave, he was poisoned!

It damaged his brain, made him become a vegetable man. But the effort of Aubrey made him wake up!

He remembered everything happened when he remained unconscious! He remembered what the men who threw him at the gate of Aubrey’s house said.

“He is indeed a God of War, he was not poisoned to death. But the Master really wanted to see him survive as a vegetable...that would be more interesting than kill him!”

Adonis held his fist tightly, “The Master...he must be the one who killed my family...you’ll regret that you didn’t kill me!”

He took a deep breath, grabbed a phone on the bedside table.

“Hello?” A drank voice came.

“It’s me, Finn. I’m not dead.” Adonis said calmly.

“What?”
