Tracy froze for a moment, then her cheeks flushed as she shot Luca a coy complaint.

“Ugh, you're so bad... I’m pregnant, you know!”

“It’s fine,” Luca breathed heavily, “I’ll strike from behind and be gentle.”

Status and wealth dictated everything—and Tracy never dared refuse Luca.

Though embarrassment flickered across her face, she still did as she was told, bracing herself at the foot of Adam’s bed, her hips lifting up higher.

Luca’s gaze darkened with satisfaction as he stepped closer.

And then with a flip, he pulled up Tracy’s skirt, and torn down her pant.

And then ... the two made no effort to hide it, carrying on brazenly, right there in front of Adam.

Luca even ordered Tracy to turn her head.

So that Adam could see her face clearly, the conflicted blush, the surrender, the irresistible pleasure written in every subtle expression she could no longer control.

“You—!”

Adam ground his teeth so hard that blood spurted from his mouth.

The obscene scene before him made his eyes burn red, hatred and rage clashing. 

“You’ll pay for this!”

The rage and humiliation felt like they would tear his chest apart.

“Don’t worry... we’ll live well, ah~~”

Tracy panted, letting out moans of pleasure she couldn’t resist.

“But as for you, ah~~ when you die, your life insurance, the car accident compensation, and this place—they’ll all be mine, ah~~~”

Adam’s face twisted in rage, veins bulging.

“In your dreams! The court will never hand anything to a slut like you!”

He wanted to lunge, to smash Tracy’s face, but his body betrayed him.

At his words, Luca let out a mocking laugh. 

He didn’t slow down at all as he sneered, “Tracy told me you still have elderly parents in Cleveland, and a younger sister stuck in some boarding school, right? You don’t seriously think the court would let them inherit anything of yours, do you?

“Wake up. That’s never gonna happen.” 

His smile turned cruel.

“I’ll have those two old wretches and your sister brought here. They’ll work for my family for the rest of their lives. Scrubbing floors. Bowing their heads. Living like slaves and dogs.”

“And when I finally get bored...” 

Luca paused deliberately, his eyes darkening, “I’ll toss them into the slums. Places like that swallow people whole.”

Then, with narrowing eyes, his smirk deepened, “As for your poor little sister...”

“Who knows what kind of hell she’d be dragged into?”

“Y-you bastard!” Adam roared, his voice cracking with fury.

At the thought of his parents and sister suffering such a fate, Adam felt his heart shatter.

“You’d even go after the elderly and a child? Are you still human? Aren’t you afraid karma will come for you?!” Adam swore desperately.

His heart slammed against his ribs, so hard it felt like it might burst. How he wished he could put a bullet straight through Luca’s head!

Luca merely scoffed.

“Karma?” he said with open contempt. 

“That’s just a bedtime story you lowlifes tell yourselves to feel better.”

Straightening slightly, he added with unmistakable pride,

“My family isn’t just one of the eight most powerful houses. We also share a strong bond with the Alessandro family.

He let out a cold snort.

“So don’t talk to me about consequences. Even if I wiped out your entire worthless family, one shot each, who do you think would dare stop me?” 

At those words, Adam felt his heart crash violently inside his chest. 

The last fragile thread of hope snapped.

Despair and collapse surged over him, threatening to drown him whole.

It was well-known the Alessandro family stood above the eight powerhouses—a transcendent power, a royal branch, a titled aristocracy. 

In Vancouver, they practically ruled with an iron fist.

Who in their right mind would dare offend such true power, just over the fate of him and his poor family?

    His presence commanding, Adam strode down the corridor. He stopped before the door to the top suite.Inside, he could hear the murmur of voices—laughter, clinking glasses, the buzz of a crowd drunk on anticipation. The Black family's friends, relatives, and business partners, all eager to bask in the reflected glory of the mysterious Mr. Adam.Adam knocked. Inside, heads turned toward the door. Zara's face lit up with unbridled delight."It must be Mr. Adam!" she exclaimed, practically skipping toward the entrance. She smoothed her dress, patted her hair, and composed her features into what she hoped was an expression of elegant welcome.She pulled open the door.And froze.Her eyes went wide, first with confusion, then with shock, then with something far uglier. Disgust, pure, undiluted disgust."What are you doing here?" she demanded, her voice rising to a harsh screech.Adam didn't answer. He simply stepped past her into the room, his gaze sweeping over the gathered crowd until

    Maya, however, laughed shamelessly."Proud?" She tossed her hair back, her eyes glittering with unrepentant malice. "Why shouldn't I be proud? Let me explain something to you, Adam—not just any random man can sleep with us. We have standards. Standards that lowlife trash like you couldn't even begin to meet."She stepped closer, her voice dropping to a venomous whisper."You aren't even worthy of looking at us. Pathetic losers like you would beg for a lifetime and never get what you want." Her lips curled into a cruel smile. "Maybe you'd have better luck with a goat. Or a pig. At least they're closer to your level."Adam's gaze sharpened. His jaw tightened almost imperceptibly, but otherwise, his expression remained calm.He had spent years enduring this woman's poison. Years swallowing his rage because he believed, foolishly, blindly, that loving Tracy meant accepting her friends.No longer, Adam moved.It wasn't a punch or a slap, something far more precise. His hand flashed out, a

    Adam had spent the afternoon preparing, not with expensive suits or designer accessories, but with careful attention to detail. A simple, well-fitted shirt. Comfortable trousers that moved with him. A fresh haircut that sharpened his already striking features.When he finally stood before the mirror in his small house, he barely recognized the man staring back.His features had always been strong, bold brows, bright eyes, a jaw carved with clean angles. But years of exhaustion, of driving endless hours to support a woman who never appreciated him, had worn him down. Dull eyes, hunched shoulders. The defeated posture of a man who had given everything and received nothing in return.Now?He looked every bit the man he should have always been. He turned sideways, studying his reflection. In the past, he had been too busy working, scraping together money for Tracy's endless demands—to care about his appearance. What was the point? She never looked at him anyway. Not really.Compared

    Without wasting a moment, Luca pulled out his phone and made another call, this one to the Crystal Hotel's VIP reservations desk."I need the top suite, tomorrow evening, seven o'clock. Put it under the Max family name."The reservation was confirmed within minutes.The next morning, the Black family's phones began ringing.Zara called every relative who had ever looked down on them—the cousins who snubbed them at family gatherings.To each one, she delivered the same message with breathless excitement: "We're hosting a private dinner at Crystal Hotel tomorrow night with Mr. Adam himself. The Mr. Adam. Yes, that one. You should come. Bring your business cards. You never know who might need a contractor."Tracy invited her closest friends, the ones who had cooed over her pregnancy, who envied her connection to the Max family. The Black family arrived at Crystal Hotel an hour early.They swept through the lobby like conquering heroes, heads high, chins lifted, drinking in the envious g

    Jaxson gripped Luca's arm with both hands, his weathered face creased with profound gratitude. "Luca, my boy," he said, his voice laced with emotion. "Without you, the Black family would be at a dead end. You've saved us. You've truly saved us."Zara nodded vigorously, dabbing at her eyes with a tissue. Fresh tears, these ones of joy…streamed down her cheeks."To think," she sniffled, "if Tracy had met you earlier, she wouldn't have had to suffer all those years with that useless Adam. Wasting her youth on a nobody when she could have been with a real man."Luca waved a casual hand, though his throat still ached with every swallow. "We're family now. No need for formalities." He pulled out his phone, his confidence returning with each passing second. "Let me call my father. He'll sort this out."He stepped away from the group, dialing quickly.Dominic Max answered on the second ring. "Luca? It's late. What's wrong?""Nothing's wrong, Father. I need a favor." Luca kept his voice lo

    His face hardened and fixed Titan with what he hoped was a commanding stare."I don't care about any of that," Luca said, his voice rising with forced authority. "You introduced Kai. You vouched for him. That makes you responsible. The Black family lost millions of dollars because of your connection. You will compensate them. End of discussion."Titan's eyebrows rose slightly. For a moment, he simply stared at Luca as though the man had grown a second head.Then he laughed."Luca," Titan said codly, "are you talking down to me? Demanding explanations? Issuing ultimatums?"Luca, blind to the shift in Titan's demeanor, pressed on. His ego, wounded by the earlier dismissal, demanded reassertion."That's right. You introduced him. You're accountable. The Max family has standing in this city, and I have every right to hold you responsible for—"He never finished the sentence.Titan moved.It wasn't fast—it was unhurried, almost lazy. He simply stood, walked around the desk, and reached ou
